NYX Intense Butter Gloss Chocolate Crepe





I have found myself picking up more of these Intense Butter Glosses up over the last few weeks so expect to see a few reviews of them every now and then. Brown lipsticks/lipglosses were really in this past fall and Chocolate Crepe is one of the most wearable brown shades I have ever worn. I would say it pulls a bit burgundy-red on my lips, so don't let the dark shade on the outside tube scare you away. I'm a big fan of these Intense Butter Glosses because of how comfortable they are to wear and how pigmented the formula is. They also come in some many different and unconventional shades which I think makes NYX stand out from the usual "play-it-safe" drugstore brands. If you're looking to foray into the world of brown shades, Chocolate Crepe might be a great place to start.

NYX Prismatic Eyeshadow Punk Heart and Blue Jeans




I grabbed these eyeshadows on a whim while on a late night drug store trip and was pleasantly surprised at how pigmented they were when I swatched them in the store. These two shades are no different either-pigmented, smooth and buttery application. I would advise you to not use these eyeshadows with a heavy hand as a little goes a long way! They're great as a crease accent or even just a single wash of colour over your eyelids for that pop of colour. I picked these two shades together in particular because they actually work very well with each other-I recommend a light wash of Blue Jeans over the lid and using Punk Heart in the crease.

NYX Intense Buttergloss in Toasted Marshmallow




Continuing on with my pick for fall colour lipsticks/lipglosses, I would like to introduce you to Toasted Marshmallow. This was my first time trying the Intense butter gloss line (I own a few of the regular butter glosses) and I have to say that these are super pigmented! I was able to colour my whole lips with one swipe. I really like this colour because it's a good balance between deep red and burgundy-there is even a bit of berry/violet undertones! Toasted Marshmallow has the same texture and suppleness on par with the regular buttergloss line and is very comfortable to wear.
