NYX Dark Brown Eyeshadow, a great brow filler!

NYX Dark Brown is a medium-dark, milk chocolate matte brown. It has a slight warm yellow undertone, as opposed to a red undertone that you may find in some brow powders. This works great with my hair color and would work well for anyone with light to medium brown hair. For those with black hair, you may want a color that is slightly deeper.

I've been using it almost everyday along with my Make up Forever Brow Corrector. It is the perfect shade of ash brown. The consistency is a little powdery, and it is pigmented, but it's not too pigmented (where it makes your brows look painted on.) So when applied, it isn't harsh. It applies light and natural like a brow powder would.

Plus, it's inexpensive and will last you a long, long time. I would compare this to MAC Espresso, one of my favorites for filling my brows.

Here's a swatch on my hand..

Heidi Klum for Victoria's Secret Makeup.

You can view the whole collection here Has anyone tried any of the products? The Eyeshadow palette looked gorgeous and I swatched the colors and they were pigmented and true to color.. but I figured I didn't need it and I have all the colors.. but it is soo tempting because it looks so pretty. lol 

I did buy the Heidi Klum Luminous Face Powder Gems. They looked pretty irresistible and it was $22 which didn't seem too bad.

 

Product Description: Illuminating powder spheres brighten and balance for a sultry, jewel-like glow. For an even blend of radiance, swirl your brush over the powder gems in a circular motion. Lightly tap to remove excess, then apply all-over face, building color on cheeks if desired. I've only used the gems today.. and so far I really like the color. I used it with a lot of the darkest pink gems and the color really suits my skin tone. I'll have a review for this soon. :)

I also picked up the Very Voluptuous® Lip Plumper Extreme. 

 

Its clear, but the brush is discolored from my lipsticks The regular non extreme lip plumper costs $18 and the extreme costs a whopping $26. The EXTREME label tempted me.. but I don't really think there is anything extreme about it. I'm pretty disappointed with it. I love lip plumpers and the burning or tingling feeling it gives your lips. This one in particular has no tingle or cooling minty effect. It just burns a little.. as if I wiped my lips with cayenne pepper. It turns them slightly red but it didn't irritate them or really make them appear fuller. sad. *sigh* I guess a pro can be that it is pretty moisturizing? lol I should of just stuck with the regular one.. I know lots of people love it. I may end up trying it in the near future.

NYX Round Lipstick Pictures!

Lipsticks from left to right: NYX Frosted Flakes, NYX Echo, NYX Rea and NYX Summerlove.

Lipsticks from left to right: NYX Strawberry Milk, NYX Fig and NYX Louisiana. 

So far, my two favorite colors are Fig and Louisiana. Fig is a very wearable pink that I can probably wear every day. You can tone down the color with a little nude gloss. Louisiana is similar but it is a lot more vibrant. I can't wait to wear it for a night out. :)
