NYX Blushes in Cinnamon, Mocha and Peach | Review

I've been hearing about NYX since I started reading blogs and watching YouTube videos, and I've been wanting to try their products for ages. So when I noticed NYX was going to be at IMATS I was doing lists of what I would pick up months before the actual event. I know the products are available online but I'm just the kind of person that prefers to go into a store and swatch things first. So anyway, I managed to pick up three of their blushes, Mocha and Peach which are on the pink side, and Cinnamon which is a light shade of orange. What I like most about NYX blushes is that they are amazingly smooth, they also apply and blend easily. You need a light hand with these though as the pigmentation is great and it's easy to overdo it. I ended up with an Oompa Loompa face at first cause I used too much. So yeah, a little goes a long way. The blushes also last all day, no need to reapply unless you are planning to be out all day and night. I usually wear them for up to 8 hours and they look just fine. I definitely want to try a few more shades and would recommend them to anyone. Cheap and good quality, what else can we ask for.

Have you tried NYX blushes? Is there any shades you would recommend?

IMATS London 2013

So as it is 23rd of June aka the day I went to IMATS for the first time ever, and definitely not last, I decided to post straight when I got home. Well, after getting some food and checking out everything I got. Anyways, it was one of the best experiences and seeing Karin Darnell was a cherry on top, I'm now absolutely knackered and happy, and can't wait to try everything out. I went to Nars first as this (and NYX) was my main destination, but I was a little disappointed actually. They weren't selling any of the stuff I wanted to get (Orgasm and Laguna mainly), only palettes, a few eyeshadows and nail polishes.They did have a good deals on them though so not a complete waste of time. I got a duo of Albatros and Sin for £12.50, which I was eyeing up anyway. Then I went to NYX, which was timed brilliantly, by the time me and my friend Jess got to the checkout the queue was as long as in front of an Apple store on a new iPhone day. I got lots of eyeliners, the three blushes that were on my wishlist, a couple of lipsticks and three eyeshadows. I was expecting to get more bits and pieces but they didn't have the rest of the things I wanted so. Still, pretty successful little haul overall. I also got a palette from Inglot with 5 different shades of red, Stargazer nail polishes and some brushes from Crown Brush, bdllium tools and Royal & Langnickel. Absolutely loved it and will definitely be going back next year. And the year after that.

Have you ever been to IMATS? What did you think? If not, would you like to go?
