Review : NYX Black Label Lipstick & Lipliner

I've heard alot about the NYX Black Label Lipstick line and I wanted to get my hands on some to see for myself what all the hype was about.

I have brought a few from beautyjoint.com but my ultimate favourite is the shade NATURAL.

I have already finished one lipstick and I am on my second eek !! Thank God they are very much affordable !!

Heres a pic of me wearing the shades.

Looks very natural and flattering especially on my tanned skin

(mind you these pics were takrn at 12:38 midnight !)

SWATCH

Top: NYX Black Label Lipstick in Natural

Bottom: NYX Lip Pencil in Peekaboo Neutral

I know bad lighting but the color really isn't that dark.

I would describe it as peachy pink. Very flattering color.

On my lips

And another

And another of me just because the lipstick and liner combo looks so pretty !!

Ughh Summer...

As the title suggests thats exactly how I feel.

This year's Australian summer has been nothing but hot and sticky and I can't wait for this season to end.

Really. Yes Please.

I want cooler weather !! *tears*

Being 28 weeks pregnant during summer is like being a walking sauna, somehow your body temperature is ALOT hotter already then add the 40+ degree heat and you have a hot, sticky, sweaty, hormonal mess.. AKA me.

So now I sit here under the evaporative aircon (which sucks!) in front of the fan I am simply wishing for cooler weather to get me through these busy upcoming weeks, just because I don't want to look awful in photos HAHA.

Take a look at what Perth people have to suffer with this week and the upcoming week ahead

This does NOT look good for me.

I have a hens night (thats like an australian version of a bachelorette party!) to attend, a baby shower and a wedding to go to this next few weeks and I need cooler weather to accompany me !!

I know I sound like a whinging baby but seriously who wants to put makeup on in this ridiculous heat?! I certainly don't !! And not to mention the fact that makeup MELTS away when in heat/humidity. Ughh just the thought of it makes me want to stay home and live in my fridge !!

My Favourite Online Stores

Like many of you I am very much fond of buying my makeup online simply because it is CHEAPER. I can always find a better deal online than I would if I went to a shopping centre and had a browse around.

Here are some of my most favourite websites where I regularly buy my makeup supplies

1. thebeautyclub.com.au - If you think higher end makeup is cheap on strawberrynet, I'm going to have to break it to you..its cheaper on thebeautyclub.com . They stock a HUGE range of makeup and best of all its free shipping now matter how much you order !! There is a set back though..they have a yearly membership fee of $99.00 but I think its well worth it if you constantly order items.

2. strawberrynet.com - No membership fees and all the makeup, skincare, haircare and fragrances at great prices what more could you ask for?!

3. beautyjoint.com - My favorite place to buy NYX & ELF products online. Great prices and sometimes when they have a sale even cheaper than the other makeup stores online. Great international shipping rates too !!

4. porkdaisy.com - They stock a HUGE range of NYX products. I'm pretty sure they have all the NYX palettes & sets available at a great price and I must add, they have great international shipping rates too !! love love !!

5. cherryculture.com - Another great website that stock NYX, Milani and Amuse cosmetics. They are based in the USA and ship internationally.

6. glossi.com.au - A local Australian website that stock 'drugstore' brands like Maybelline, Physicians Formula, Almay, Revlon and much much more. Shipping anywhere in Australia is under $8 for unlimited amount of items !!

7. nonparielboutique.com - Possibly one of the only online stores that stock Wet n Wild products that ship internationally. I had a huge dilemma in finding my favorite eyebrow palette and they had it !! love love love this website !!

8. makeupmania.com - Great place to buy professional artist supplies. They stock Ben NYE, Graftobian and heaps more ! I must say their shipping charges internationally are awesome !!
