price: $22 each / but there's a promotion of Buy 1 get 1 free on :D

pros:
  • super moisturising
  • ♥ packaging


cons:
  • quite sheer
  • wears off quick
  • limited range of lipsticks to choose from


notes:


soft nude-


Photobucket
at takes a few layers to turn out.. but I still like it :D!


mauve-


Photobucket
it's not much of a mauve, more of a pinkish version!

Would I recommend this product?
If you're after a sheer lipstick then this is for you! But because of the sheerness it takes a lot of layers to pack on which is disappointing to me.


Would I repurchase?
No. Not worth the price for something so sheer.
I really like Mauve! It's such a cute colour :-)
Go buy it! Since there's an offer on, take advantage of it!

Happy Shopping ♪!

w/o flash: 

L>R: Silky Rose, Espresso, Peach & Desert Rose
 with flash:

L>R: Silky Rose, Espresso, Peach & Desert Rose


Pros:
* Super affordable
* Pigmented
* Easy to blend
* Many colours to choose from

Cons:
* Too much loose powder :(
* Print on case fades away (as all other NYX print products do!)

 Notes:
* Should be put on with a light hand

Brief description on each of them:
* Silky Rose- A more pinkish version of desert rose
* Desert Rose- Shows up as a sorta wine colour
* Espresso- A brownier shade with a hint of pink (Great for contouring!)
* Peach- Not a peach color btw, more of a light light pink blush-- I use it for highlighting, it gives you a nice glow :)


... Hehe, if it's not obvious in what's left of my blushes...
I use Espresso and Silky Rose the most :D
