NYX Round Lipsticks Haul

I've always wanted to try the NYX Round Lipsticks, especially after reading many rave reviews about them! my only problem was that i was a bit apprehensive about ordering them from the US because of additional charges and any UK based websites that sold them charged more than triple the retail price.

so, about a week and half ago, i was trying my best to put off the massive pile of work i had to get through and instead ended up searching cherryculture.com, a popular US website that sells different brands of makeup, one of the most popular being NYX cosmetics.

I'd remembered reading a post by Lipglossiping, a UK based blogger on price differences when ordering NYX cosmetics from cherryculture.com and a UK based website, she made ordering from cherryculture.com sound easy enough and made me aware of the fact that as long as you stay under the overall total of £18.00, you will not get charged extra duty on your goods.

so what did i do, i hear you ask.... yep i took the plunge and ordered a couple of lipsticks!
but it wasn't that easy...
the pictures on cherryculture.com aren't very good so i spent hours again, wasting time looking for swatches on the internet. i then finally decided to settle for nine shades that i wanted to try.

this is what i got:

I've been playing around with them and overall I'm pretty impressed! they glide onto the lips and are really pigmented. however having said that, there are some colours that i thought I'd love but i don't... for example REA. but oh well, i can't complain seeing as i got each lipstick for $1.75, so less than a pound each.

if you live in the UK and want to try products by NYX, i do recommend ordering from a US website such as cherryculture.com. it will save you alot of money as long as you keep below the £18.00 threshold.

if you want to see any swatches, just leave a comment below :)
