Nyx Round Lipstick Spellbound: Swatches and FOTD


Nyx round lipsticks are one of my favorites. They have a great texture, are extremely pigmented and have a range of amazing shades. The best part for me is that it is extremely affordable as well. I have already reviewed one of my favorite Nyx lipsticks, Fire. Spellbound is a beautiful hot pink lipstick. Of course as with other bright lipsticks you do need oodles of confidence to sport this shade but I totally in love with it. Since I have already reviewed the Nyx round lipstick in my last post I will not be repeating myself. Check out the shade and tell me if you liked it :P


I love that cute packaging and the it is a relief to be able to locate the shade color.




Here is a FOTD and a pic with my daughter.

Nyx Round Lipstick Fire: Review, Swatches and LOTD


A year before I started writing this blog all the lipsticks I had in my kitty were shades of brown. Till about recently I never had the guts to buy a pink lipstick, forget about putting it on me. I never understood the fascination for pink lipsticks. However since the day I became a crazy makeup fanatic and started exploring blogs by some amazing people like Rashmi, Samyukta, Anamika and Cynthia, I have started buying more colorful lip sticks. Of course I will never be adventurous enough to buy a black or dark purple lipstick but this is a start at least. I love Nyx round lipsticks. They are soft , creamy, extremely moisturizing and have excellent colors at a reasonable price. In short they are a boon for people like me who want to experiment with colors but are unwilling to dish out a fortune a lipstick that they will never use.

Nyx lipstick in Fire is a beautiful deep pink red shade. The shade just instantly brightens your face and adds a touch of drama which I love. I have been hunting for this shade since I saw Mac Fusion Pink which is again a gorgeous red pink but one which I was unable to buy (It’s a LE pro lipstick). The best part is that it is completely opaque and thus great for my pigmented lips. I love it on my lips and am sure this is going to be my new party lipstick J



                    
Ok, now this lipstick is not a Mac lipstick and should not be compared to one. Yes, it is creamy, soft and glides on like a dream on my chapped lips but then it has a few cons as well. Firstly it transfers and transfers to just about everything around you. Moreover it has a negligible staying power of just around two hours. However I don’t really mind that the texture and pigmentation is extremely good and what more can you expect for around three hundred bucks. Thankfully it does not smell extremely weird. It just a slight waxy smell which is ok.

You can buy it from Cherry Culture or just order it from Stylecraze which incidentally is running a 25% off sale on Nyx products and this lippi is on the list as well.

There are days when you can go completely overboard and fortunately for me (and unfortunately my bank balance) today was one of those days ...
