This Colour Me In series is a collection of posts where your beloved bloggers, Tram, Amanda, Tezza and myself will be posting about the selected shade from whatever we're able to gather from our beauty stash!

Hello my loves! When I had first gotten into makeup, NYX was the most amazing brand in the world to me. NYX this, that, EVERYTHING. I am now sitting with a bunch of lipsticks in my box of lipsticks I don't use anymore....

Well, one of my favourite NYX product (out of the many I've purchased...) is this Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk

I use this product whenever I want to go for a bold look. I often forget about it, I should give it more love. I've used it for my Nicki Minaj and Creepy Doll inspired look.

I chose a bright hot pink from my Manly palette of course!

For a while I've been looking for the perfect affordable red...

I never like to spend much, I always carelessly spend on items under $5... (But it sure adds up! A BIG example are my eBay purchases...)

These are three lipsticks I've bought each for less than $5!

L>R Ulta3 in Wet Red, BYS in Crimson Joy and NYX in Snow White

I'm not too fond of the packaging of Ulta3 and BYS because everytime I close the lid, the lid chips a bit of the top of the lippie off.

Arm swatches:

Top to Bottom: NYX in Snow White, Ulta3 in Wet Red and BYS in Crimson Joy

Lip swatches:

Top with flash and bottom without flash

Ulta3 in Wet Red

$2.95

Very very wet, it glides on so smoothly and does not dry out my lips at all because of that.

It's more of a brighter red out of the three but I don't really like this one because of it's consistency.

It lasts for a few hours but throughout the 2~3 hours, It bleeds and I still feel the moisture on my lips.. Which I don't like at all.

I purchased mine from a pharamacy at Cabramatta which stocks Ulta3 products.

BYS in Crimson Joy

$3.95

I think that this is the right balance between a bright red and a dark one.

The lasting power is around 2~3 hours. It is very creamy and does not dry out my lips.

I've worn this lipstick here.

Available at Gloss, Reject Shop and Fashion Addict

NYX in Snow White

$4.00

I love love love this red! I think it is the perfect dark red.

I previously written a review here by the way! And NYX lippies in general, here.

I purchased mine from Cherry Culture.

Out of the three lippies, I like BYS' Crimson Joy and NYX's Snow White the best!
I would definitely repurchase both of them!

Hi!

In this post I'll just be swatching Power, Fig and Jupiter to show you what it looks like against my skintone!

Click here for an overall review of NYX Lipsticks.

Swatches as are according in the photo above.

With flash:

Without flash:

L>R Power, Fig and Jupiter

These lip swatches will go as according to the arm swatches.

Lipstick name and notes on the shade are listed.

Top: With flash

Bottom: Without flash

Power: A nude pinkish/purple, this shade can look very overwhelming if too much is applied so it is advised that you dab some off with a tissue (example.... when I wore it to my formal.)
