Black Label...Nyx of Course!

The term Black Label makes me think of alcohol...:S but these are most definitely not alcoholic!
These are of course my new Black Label Lipsticks that I ordered from the Nyx mega sale.

I ordered six in total...but beware it's even harder to find colour accurate swatches for the Black Labels than it is for the Round Lipsticks! I love four of the shades I bought...

We'll start of the more neutral toned ones.

India, Nude and Natural in natural light.

India, Nude and Natural with flash.

You can probably guess which two I didn't love. But lets continue...

India

 Ahhhh India is awful. The formulae is great, it's pigmented enough. But omg ewww. I was hoping for a nice coral peachy shade...but this is just not what I wanted.I can't make it work today. Maybe when I'm less sick I'll give it another chance...but ahhhhh. Oh and excuse the horrid application of these two...I really did dislike them that much!

Nude

 Another ewwwwww! Nude is just hideous on me.It's too pale for my pale face. I can make Orange Soda work, but Nude...no!

Natural

Luckily I bought Natural. Natural is amazing I can't sing it's praises enough. It's my new favourite lipstick. I'd wear this anywhere and everywhere. It's got warmth and a bit of a colour kick but it's still subtle and understated. Perfect!

And on to the pink tones...which I love! It's just unfortunate that India and Nude both look so hideous on me.

Diva, Heather and Off the Beaten Path in natural light.

Diva, Heather and Off the Beaten Path with flash.

Diva

 Very nice natural mauve tone. I think this might be comparable to B52, but haven't tried it out together yet. Either way I really like Diva. I had a hard time deciding between Diva and Heiress, but I think I made the right choice.

Heather

 I already have a Nyx lipstick called Heather. It's a mauve with shimmer...This is a really pretty pink, with no shimmer. I find a lot of pinks hard to wear. They're too bright or too princessy or too frosty. This is perfect. Heather is my new favourite pink. I wonder how it compares to Tea Rose my old favourite pink...

Off the Beaten Path

Off the Beaten Path was my wild card lipstick. The one I threw in just because I wanted to see how it turned out. Well...I have to say I love it. Warm pink with a hint of coral and not too bright. Awesome!

Actually the four that I love are my four favourite lipsticks ever right now. I'll have to compare them to my round lipsticks at some point. maybe this weekend. 

Nyx Round Lipsticks: The Neutrals

I was browsing through, looking at my NYX lipstick collection, when I realised I never finished posting my lipsticks! I missed out some of my favourite everyday lipsticks. The Neutrals.

Mars, Hades, Perfect, Frappucino and Herades.

Mars, Hades, Perfect, Frappucino and Herades. (With flash)

These lipsticks are some of my favourite, go to lipsticks. I know that they'll always look good no matter what I'm wearing.

Mars: gorgeous creamy neutral that looks amazing with anything.

Hades: Subdued and gorgeous with shimmer. Doesn't really make me think of the underworld...One of my favourite lippies ever.

Perfect: Well it's perfect...Very clean and sophisticated.

Frappucino: this colour looks amazing on everyone of my friends, even red heads!

Herades: Yes it's a tad orangey, but orangey seems to look good on me. It brightens my face and makes my blue eyes pop.

New NYX Round Lipsticks...

Although my current obsession is growing my nail polish stash, I still found time to order a few NYX goodies.
I ordered six round lippies, three of which are for my mums christmas, three lips spas and a cute cupcake lip gloss set for a friend.

The package arrived in record time, but my lip spas were missing. I emailed, but still haven't heard back. The lip spas were the whole reason I ordered in the first place. I love lip spas. Just the right amount of colour and all the yummy goodness I want on my lips.

On to lipsticks! I ordered Metis, Almost Black, Raisin, Saturn, Peach and Hebe, to replace the one mum stole! Raisin, Saturn and Peach are for mums Christmas, shes stolen my peach a few times!

Metis, Saturn, Raisin and Almost Black

Metis: Shimmery warm gold. I really only this and almost black for costume make up.I'd never wear it for an every day occassion! Though it does remind me of my Mega Shine Lip Gloss Vanilla.

Almost Black: Ooohhhhh! I want an excuse to wear this. When I was trying it out it I noticed it made my eyes look so blue. It's a pity I'm dressing as Snow White for Halloween.

NYX Round Lipsticks Swatches

Finally swatches for my latest NYX round lipsticks. I have decided not to keep darling, apollo, milan or strawberry milk. Harmonica was too light for me so I'm just not sure I could pull off Strawberry Milk. Milan was too close to B52 and Heather and I just cant see myself ever wearing Apollo or Darling.

I had meant to sell Sierra as well, but I had an unfortunate accident and dropped it. Its relatively unscathed but not in pristine condition to sell...so what else could I do other than try it out!

Frosted Beige: A really nice shimmery colour. More pink than beige in my opinion though.

Peache: I'm guarding this one. Mum's taken a fancy to it. I wouldn't call it peach. Though it does remind me of the fuzzy peach skin. That purpley colour meeting the peach and mingling

Rosebud: Pretty princess pink. More pink than Jupiter.

Topaz: A gorgeous colour. Unfortunately this didnt stay in my hands long before it was kidnapped by mum!

Watermelon: A golden shimmery watermelon. I like this one better than Indian Pink

Vitamin: a gorgeous shimmery peachy pop of orange. Yes it does kind of look like vitamins! At lease it makes my face look all nice and bright and cherry. 

Hebe: oh how I love Hebe. It's such a beautiful shade of red. I feel so glam.

Sierra: I honestly can't decide what I think of this one. Its almost like dirty, muddy, milky clay. Reminds me of Firefly when they visit Canton and are introduced to mudders milk.

More NYX lipsticks...

Yes I admit it I have a problem...This is the last lot I will buy.
I bought these while I was waiting for my 2nd Cherry Culture order to ship.
Suprisingly my Cherry Culture order arrived in record time.

I don't feel guilty about ordering these though!

I haven't swatched them all because mum pounced on them and stole a few and I'm not so sure about some of the colours. So I may sell some on.

Frosted Beige, Peach and Milan.

Strawberry Milk, Rosebud, Watermelon and Vitamin.

Darling, Sierra, Topaz, Apollo and Hebe

I'm in love with Hebe. It's so glamorous. Reminds me of a beautiful lady from trhe 1940's. Her lips are paint red to perfection and her make up is flawless. I love the name, Hebe the godess of youth.

I also own a red ipod nano, which I appropriately named Hebe. So really this colour was just made for me to love. Unfortunately I haven't seen it since I tried it on for the first time and my mother decided it was the perfect colour for her.

NYX Round Lipsticks: The Light Pinks

Yes more pink!

I love a nice pink lipstick. Everyone needs some princess pink lippies.

Harmonica, Narcissus, Jupiter, Indian Pink and Paris (With out flash)

Harmonica, Narcissus, Jupiter, Indian Pink and Paris (With flash)

My favourite is Jupiter. I know so many people hate shimmer but I love it! Indian Pink is so pretty a coraly pink. Unfortunatelt I can't say I'm a big fan of the others.

Harmonica: I tried to use Harmonica to compliment a dark smokey look, but I couldnt even pull it off that way. Harmonica is very pale. Too pale for me, and a tad cold for me.

Narcissus: Barbie pink. For every girl who wanted to be just like Barbie. It's really not the right colour for me though. Too blue. A very fun colour, but I doubt I'll wear it.

Jupiter: A very pretty pink. This is a colour I'd grab on a day I needed to cheer myself up. Its just such a pretty pink shade I cant help but feel happy and girly and very princess like.

Indian Pink: A very pretty coraly pink with a lovely warm glow. Another lipstick thats a great pick me up. How can you not feel great wearing such pretty colours?

Paris:I've worn this a couple of times now, and I'm still not sold on it. Its a very pink pink. A bit cold for me, but it does match my dress!

NYX Round Lipsticks: The Pinks

One of the colours I wear most is pink, so it makes sense that the lipstick colour  I own the most of is pink. Yes I'm a girly girl.

Tea Rose, Fig, Doll and Spell Bound (With out flash)

Tea Rose, Fig, Doll and Spell Bound (With flash)

I really love all these colours. Spell Bound wasn't what I expected, but I still really like it. Tea Rose is probably my favourite. It actually looks quite pink on me.

Tea Rose: Gorgeous pinky colour. My favourite of this group. It can go with just about anything. I wore this out as soon as I got it.

Fig: A bit brighter than Tea Rose. I havent actually worn this out yet. A nice pink wih a smidgeon of coral mixed in to warm it up.

Doll: A nice rosey darker pink. Unfortunately my mum stole this one rather quickly. I doubt I'll see it again!

Spell Bound: I expected a dark rosey colour, and Spell Bound is bright pink. It's comparable to Louisiana, but warmer. In my opinion. It actually suits my, I just have to get used to bright lips.

NYX Round Lipsticks: The Mauves

Mauve is a colour I'm normally drawn to. Its pretty, its natural looking and it suits most people.
I've normally stuck to one shade, so I'm branching out with lighter and darker.

Thalia, B52, Heather and Lala (With out flash)

Thalia, B52, Heather and Lala (With flash)

My favourite is Heather. IT's the perfect shade for any occasion. Lala on the other hand...well I'm not a purple person!

Thalia: Not quite what I was expecting. So many people rave about Thalia. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasnt this colour. I do like the colour, it's just a tad milky?

B52: Gorgeous neutral shade. I think this is what I was expecting from Thalia.

Heather: Such a gorgeous colour. I almost didnt keep it. I thought I had Thalia and B52 I didnt need another similiar colour. How wrong was I. I needed Heather. Its so different from Thalia and B52. It's perfect for me.

Lala: Can you say purple? Lala is so purple on me. It pales me out and gives me a goth look. Its such a nice colour, but way too dark and cold for me.
