NYX Haul Review

NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation
This is my favourite day time foundation, I wear this day to day going to work and what I love about it is the coverage it gives me and the fact that it’s long lasting. I do have to wear a primer underneath to get the full days wear. The name states its Matte but not flat, but I don’t find this foundation mattifying at all, if anything it leaves a dewy type finish on the skin and because I like a matte finish on my skin, I do have to mattify it with a powder. I wish there were more shades in this foundation.

NYX HD Concealer
I use this concealer for under eyes, to cover up dark circles, the concealer is quite lightweight and I have often read that it’s a cheaper dupe for the NARS Radiant Concealer, it feels really light on the under eye area and give good coverage, however, I felt that around 4-5 hours later the layer started to become more transparent and started to fade away. I do like this product but, I just don’t love it.

NYX Liquid Illuminator
This product intrigued me a lot, I had read loads about it, and having never owned a highlighter, I decided I would give it ago. I think I'm going to be a big fan! I use the highlighter all the time now and has become a part of my daily make up routine. I applied the highlighter on the spots that the natural light would hit my face over my foundation and I felt that it gave me a lovely light glow. I applied literally the TINIEST amount, I didn’t even squeeze the tube just rubbed off the excess and that was honestly enough.  There is a darker highlighter which is suitable for darker skin tones.

All in all, I can safely say I am now a huge fan of NYX products and look forward to my collection growing.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy New Year To One & All!!! Hoping everyone had a fabulous new years celebrations. I know I most definitely did and now somewhat regretting all the fun I had. But with that being said, 2017 looks to be a crazy, busy and adventurous time for me. With so many new ideas planned for both my blog and of course YouTube channel, all you luck and lovely viewers will have an abundance of new content heading your way each week. YouTube - SophieMarie So for the lovely fans that follow me on YouTube as well as here, you are going to be seeing a shake up on my channel. As you are aware I try and upload a few different videos each week and don't have a main focus or theme. Well that is all about to change. Having done a lot of thinking and been asked by friends, family and subscribers to look into doing covers of different styles of songs, which I have to say, I firstly looked at them and laughed, then after come serious thought and consideration I have decided to give it a shot. So ...
