Hi guys,
I apologise for not being very active on the internet lately. It basically comes down to family reasons :(. I have had a lot of things going on recently, and someone very close to me has, sadly, passed away. You probably wouldn't want to know, and I don't really want to talk about it, but trust me, it feels a lot better to just get it off your chest! - anyone who has experienced it will understand, and those who have not (the lucky ones) will still probably understand too! I am honestly not asking for sympathy, I just wanted to let you know!
Anyway, enough talk about that! In my previous post about dupes, I suggested the 'nyx soft matte lip creams' as an alternative to the 'kylie lip kits'. Of course they are not created by the flawless Kylie Jenner, and do not cost a flipping arm and leg, but I thought that I would try them out!
I took a trip to selfridges last weekend and noticed that they haave quite a small nyx counter. Anyway, I had a look and saw the 'soft matte lip creams'. I had intended on buying the shade 'stockholm', but unfortunately they were out of stock of that colour. So, I spoke to one of the sales assistants and she suggested 'london'. It is a lot more 'toffee brown' coloured, but still kind of similar. I decided to buy it and I love it!
In certain lights 'london' can look quite yellowy, which may put people off. But on the lips, it looks different! I pair it with a pinky nude lip liner from maybelline and it looks great! It might not suit everyone, but I have had many compliments when wearing it! The packaging is very sleek, with a matte black lid. It smells sweetly like toffee too!
Overall, I personally like the 'nyx soft matte lip creams' and would love to try out some more shades! Let me know what you think of them!
Speak to you soon,
Violet Rose x
