True Love with NYX

Can you tell that I love lipsticks yet?

I've really liked NYX as a brand for a while now after trying out another of their lipsticks at the Pro Beauty event in Manchester a few years ago. So it came as no surprise that when these landed in my hand I was going to find them irresistible too. 

Yes, another gift from Elliot (he obviously knows me well) this trio of True Love Butter Lipsticks is ideal for those days where you don't want to go overboard with your make up but still want to feel like you've made an effort. As for the 'butter' element of these lipsticks, they're super creamy, glide on and show no sign of ever drying out my lips when I wear them all day at work. 

Really impressed by this little set and it's perfect for somebody you know that has a love for all things lipstick.

NYX Matte Lipstick

My latest purchase, courtesy of PBNorth that I attended the other weekend, is the amazing matte lipstick from NYX. 

In a beautiful wine red shade, this lipstick is both creamy in texture (so easy to apply) as well as being high impact with colour. This shade packs some punch, and I can't wait for an event to wear it to.

Professional Beauty North

Last weekend, myself and Hannah headed over to Manchester to attend one of the most exciting beauty events of the year, Professional Beauty North. 

We headed through and the first thing we saw was the Dermalogica stand. Providing you with a free face mapping consultation, they gave me an in depth look into the issue I had going on with my skin, with a few samples to get me started on my journey to a clearer complexion. 

The next stand we just had to go visit was the NYX stand. Having never owned any of their products before, I was quite keen to take advantage of the show prices on offer. But I just splurged on one lipstick instead... However it is pretty beautiful.

After a quick walk around we soon realized that this event was very trade orientated. So we grabbed some chocolate covered strawberries and got ourselves out of there for some lunch. 

We headed over to Dough in the Northern Quarter and treated ourselves to some delicious pizza. 

All in all, the PBNorth event was great, I just wish that the stands were more interactive than they were.
