NYX Megashine Lipgloss

Sticky, glumpy, tacky, yuck, yuck, lipgloss and me have a love-hate relationship, sometimes I like it other times I do without it.

But, despite the above

I LOVE these Megashine Lipglosses from NYX.  Yes, there is a smell but it doesn't bother me (grape/ mint).

The colour selection is excellent in this line and the finishes allow for the glosses to be worn alone or over lipstick.

The doe foot applicator isn't to fiddly but I do find that I have to work the glosses on my lips if its a light colour.

A decent lipgloss is hard to find and I adore this range, the US price is fair and I have already ordered more.

Have you tried this gloss, if so what are your colours of choice?

Sally Hansen Natural Butter Lip Shine


Fresh, Berry, Lush
I recently posted about my purchases from Poundland and should have included these lipglosses. 

They are from the Sally Hansen's Natural line. I like these glosses as they are lightweight and non sticky in texture, so get two thumbs up from me. 


Fresh is a semi nude / peach colour 

Berry is a raspberry colour

Lush is a light baby pink colour. 

All can be worn sheer or over a gloss


My overall opinion is that these glosses are a welcome addition to my collection. I despise the glunky feel that some glosses can create and live in fear of the dreaded white line that I have experienced with some products. 

Fresh, Berry, Lush


My lips welcomed the glossess and didn't react to the glosses in the way that they have previously. With some glosess I have to make sure that I place lashings of Blitex before applying, this was not the case with the Natural Lip Butters and after removal my lips weren't overly dry.







The only negative I have is that I didn't come across any other colours to purchase in this range. I will be keeping my eyes out for more in this range.



Have you come across this range?

Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss - Ecstasy



Stila, hmmmmm.
Stila Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss


Two years ago I managed to make my 1st ever NYX purchases in a store in South London (it was the a lip palette and a eyeshadow / blusher set), since this wonderful day I find myself with a compulsion to rummage through the beauty section of every TK Maxx I come across. 



So three weeks ago I found myself in the Kensington store having a nosey in the beauty section and found this lip gloss.

Stila Lip Enamel Ecstasy
Initially I was excited, but when I tested it I was a bit disappointed; it took ages to bring the colour up to the brush, the colour needed to be coated on my lips and I found it hard to get an even finish. That said, I think I need to give it more time and have been playing around with it and have noticed an improvement, the gloss is second to none. 

Any suggestions you might have on overcoming this will be greatly received as I hope to  purchase more Stila products in the future.
