Here we go again!
I recently discovered the brand Nyx, since its not available in my country – Greece.
Before ordering I read many reviews , so I decided to give it a try. Its very inexpensive, so it was worthing the try.
Up until now, I have only 6 round lipsticks ( I m waiting for another 6, and I ll order some more, too). They arrived in 1 + 5 . The single one, was ordered by another supplier, who also had the new shades, and this one is Minimalism
I just wanted to pointed out, because there is a difference between them, and its the smell. I read about the smell before getting mine, and when I got minimalism (this arrived first) I was ” But it smells okay”. Then I got the rest…
It has a soapy smell, that in the start, couldn’t help but notice. It goes off soon, at least.

Outdoors:

I don’t like swatching in my hands, as to show the real color, should be swatched in lips.
And ok, I know. I have really big lips, with many ”wrinkles” and not well shaped (and sensitive skin around, that’s why they are red around the lines) , but… what can I do? This is what mother nature does….
I won’t post indoors photo, cause it is really misleading with that shitty camera of mine (Also, excuse me for the quality ) my skin looks yellow, and it doesn’t help the swatch at all,so.. only outdoors photos!
Minimalism:
Minimalism is a nudish color, with pinkish to mauve tones. For me it is my-lips-but-better, and great for everyday, as it is not too strong.
Mars:
Mars is a browny nudish color. (I didn’t apply very carefully so you can see my bare lips color as well. LOL)
I liked both, but minimalism more. Its more ”lively”.
As far as Nyx in general is concerned ……
Pros:
Great Variety of colors.
Moisturizing
Cheap
Cons:
Soapy smell in the older shades
Not great staying power ( I don’t really care about it)
Not available to Greece
Now, fellow princesses…
– Do you have any Nyx round lippies? Are you happy with them?
– Do you like these colors? Do you think they look good on me? Which looks best?
– Do you have any comment about my swatches? Any suggestion what to change, or add?
Thank you for reading!
Love
