Here are the color wheels from NYC. I got these two from the same Style21 haul. (style21.com) I love this website, very inexpensive and products always on sale. I got the two of these for $2.99 each. I've always wanted to try these and i just decided hey! why not? :D I will soon put up pictures using the products and I'll keep track of the swirls I make with the brush so you can see the intensity that is built up on the cheek.
This is in the color Plum Passion. It is really pretty, difficult to swatch because it is very light. It is not completely matte but there isn't an overload of shimmer either. It is buildable a bit powdery. It does come off pink and you pick up the darkest pink in the color wheel. I am excited to use them. :D
This is in the color Pretty in Pink. Same as the description above. This one is especially difficult to swatch. I think it will be really pretty on those with lighter skin tones because you won't be able to pick up the peach too well but again I'll post photos with the blush on and we'll see how well they do. :) When i swatted the color it showed up more white(light) than anything, meaning I didn't pick up any of the pink the little swatch that I did.
Neither of the powders are very pigmented but you certainly can work with them. they aren't really much to rave about.....for now! We'll see if my thoughts change once I begin to use the powders. :)
Here are the swatches to the NYX Round Lipsticks that I purchased from Style21.com. I love this website. Everything is very inexpensive and products are always on sale. I got 8 lipsticks and they are in order of appearance from my style21.com video. I purchased all the lipsticks on sale, which were $2.49 each. I have all the lipsticks individually swatched so you can see the colors a little more up close. On this particular site it is hard to pick out which shades you want because the swatches aren't so great on the site. All it shows is the lipstick in the tube and sometimes the photo isn't as good OR the color worn isn't what is it looks like at all in the tube. So I hope you enjoy this and it helps in making a decision on some lipsticks you'll want to buy. :D
This is an overview of all the colors so you can see. They are all super pretty.....except the 2 frosty shades.... :( I don't like frosty-ness on my lips....Boo! LOL This picture was taken incorrect because i was supposed to turn it up right buuuuut i don't know what i was thinking! So the colors begin to the far left >>>>>>> and come over to the right<<<<<<<<. So for those that are still a little confused, hold your right arm bent in front of you and the colors start by the wrist and come back towards the elbow. LOL sorry!
This is Strawberry Milk. This has a beautiful shine and again there is no frosty-ness, glitter, sparkle..... blah blah blah! :) The swatches are the furthest color to the right.
This is Paris, a more neutral pink as you can see from the swatch. Very pretty and again no frosty-ness. I haven't played around too much with the lipsticks but i love the range in colors and they don't smell funny or have a drying feel to them. I will get back to you when I wear them a bit more. :)
This is Indian Pink. I always want to call this one Indian Rose. I don't know whyyy!! :D Anyways! This one is a bit frosty. It is a very pretty coral but me personally I do not like frosty lips. I will just wear this particular lipstick with a lipgloss that doesn't have any glitter or shimmer to it and it'll be fine. This photo looks well for color but the photo below will show the swatch again but you can pick up the frost.
This is Christie. :( I don't like this color because it is frosty. It is a pretty pink but it is not for me. Booooo! If you look at the photo below you can reeeealy pick up on the frost that this color has.
This one is Thalia. I LOVE this one because it is a deeper pink neutral. Shine, no frost! YAY!! This is the type of color that I wear most often. Pink but neutral.
