Hello,
Firstly I would like to say I'm back! I haven't posted in forever as I've been so busy and I don't think it's going to slow down. I will try and post as much as I can and when I can. Just keep checking back or subscribe for E-Mail updates.

I've always wanted to try NYX products but I've never found a counter. I heard late last year that NYX was online in Boots but never got round to ordering until February. I ordered a few bits but didn't want to go over board as I've never experienced the quality (despite seeing loads of great reviews online). After trying the few products I had, I wanted more but could never justify ordering online as I didn't see the shades correctly.
Today, I went to my local Boots and nearly screamed when I saw the NYX counter. I made a beeline for it and now you have a haul.

** I'd just like to mention that I am including products that I bought in February as I have a better review of them**
HIGHLIGHT & CONTOUR PRO PALETTE
£18.00
This palette has 8 shades which I use religiously! Since getting this palette in February, I have not stopped using it! It makes highlighting and contouring so much easier and I genuinely recommend this to anyone.
MATTE FINISH SETTING SPRAY
£7.00
Again, I have been using this spray everyday. This was the first ever setting spray that I have ever tried and it makes me want to try more! I don't think it does make my face matte but it does make it last. There's something so refreshing about using a setting spray - I definitely urge you to try one even if it isn't this one.
SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM // ANTWERP
£5.50
The formula of these are amazing! They're so comfortable and easy to wear which is always a winner. This shade is quite bright which I didn't realise until I received it from my online order. Never the less, I still wear it and love it!
JUMBO EYE PENCIL // 604 MILK
£5.50
I love this! It's a great white eyeshadow base and makes it last longer which is always a good thing. It brightens shadows and also makes your eyes look larger if you put it in your waterline. It's a great purchase which I'm very happy with.
JUMBO EYE PENCIL // 601 BLACK BEAN
£5.50
As I said before, I love these! This is a matte black and is great to put all over the eye and blend outwards to create an effortless smoky eye. The formula of these is amazing and I'm definitely going to buy more!
CONCEALER JAR // GREEN
£5.50
I've never tried colour correcting before as there are not many of these products which you can buy at the drugstore. I've never wanted to buy a high end colour correcting product because I didn't want to waste my money or be disappointed. When I saw these jars I was over the moon and instantly grabbed the green one. I've tried it once and I can say that it definitely does cover up red areas and makes those areas look brighter, I would like to try some more of the colours but I am aware that there is a palette with six shades which I am tempted to buy.
LIQUID SUEDE LIPSTICK // STONE FOX
£6.00
This is probably one of the most unwearable shades for me but I was so excited that I picked it up and swore I could work it. It looks dark grey in the tube but once in your lips it goes to a more blue finish (making your teeth look whiter). The formula of these is incredible and They last for such a long time. I want to try the purple shade and also buy a shade I will go out of the house with.
PROOF IT! WATERPROOF EYESHADOW PRIMER
£5.50
I saw this just before I was going to pay and I had the feeling where I knew I would regret not buying it so I bought it. I used it briefly when I got home and I can't report back if it is waterproof or not but I'm definitely going to try it. When I applied it to my eyelids, I did set it with a little bit of loose powder as it was quite sticky and it would've made my eyeshadow harder to blend.

I hope you enjoyed me sharing these products with you and hopefully it will inspire you to buy some yourself. I know for sure that I am going back to spend way too much money...
