NYX Nude on Nude Natural Look Kit - Swatches







without flash





Here are the swatches as promised.
I know not the best swatches ever, I will add a few new ones in the near future!
I was having a very difficult time photographing these eyeshadows.
It has been very dark here lately with little natural light and the flash from my camera seems to be washing the colors out.
This is a lovely palette that I reach for at least twice a week!

Avon Glazewear Lip Gloss Swatches & Review!




The review, pros & cons are at the bottom of this post!
Please scroll down to check out the lip swatches and review!

In my personal opinion (reasons stated below) these glosses are not keepers in my book.
Sadly I have had these over a year now and have only used them
just a handful of times.
I find these glosses to be better (in my opinion) then the onyx luster tri-lip and
the moisture seduction lip glosses, but they are not
an item that I find myself gravitating towards.
I rarely reach for these when I am looking for a gloss.

While these did not work for me, 
they might fit your personal needs!
Scroll down to check out the pros & cons to see!

 Avon Glazewear Intense in Intense Plum

The lip swatch is pictured below.
As you can see this is a light wash of color.
These are slightly more pigmented then the Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss and the
moisture seduction lip glosses.
Intense Plum

 Avon Glazewear Sparkle in Apple Cinnamon

The lip swatch is pictured below.
As you can see this is a light wash of color.
These are slightly more pigmented then the Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss and the 
moisture seduction lip glosses.

Apple Cinnamon

 Avon Glazewear Shine in Darling Pink

The lip swatch is pictured below.
As you can see this is a light wash of color.
These are slightly more pigmented then the Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss and the 
moisture seduction lip glosses.

Darling Pink

Pros: 

  • Affordable - about $2.99/each
  • Moisturizing/ Non-Drying
  • Nice shimmer/sheen to these glosses 
  • Light fruity scent, not overpowering or too sweet 
  • Medium pigmentation, not fully opaque, but not translucent 
  • Thinner Consistency than the previous gloss reviews from Avon (onyx luster & moisture seduction)
  • Less tackiness feeling when gloss is present 

Cons:

  • Greasy feeling when applied similar to petroleum based products
  • Tacky feeling on lips once gloss has worn off
  • Medium pigmentation, not fully opaque, but not translucent
  • 1 or 2 hrs of wear... if you minimally drink, do NOT eat or smoke or anything else, re-application is necessary throughout the day/night

Now I am not telling anyone NOT to purchase these.
These particular lip gloss do not fit my personal needs.
You preferences and needs might be different then mine!
Which is why I posted the PROS & CONS of these lip glosses!
I prefer pigmented and opaque lip glosses that are light weight and creamy (non tacky).

These products listed and reviewed here were purchased with my own money!

Avon Moisture Seduction Lip Swatches & Review!




The review, pros & cons are at the bottom of this post!
Please scroll down to check out the lip swatches and review!

In my personal opinion (reasons stated below) these glosses are not keepers in my book.
Sadly I have had these over a year now and have only used them
just a handful of times.
I find that these are very similar in consistency as the Onxy Luster Tri-Lip Gloss that I have previously reviewed and decided were not for me!

While these did not work for me, they might fit your personal needs!

Pearly Pink Moisture Seduction Lip Gloss

The lip swatch is pictured below.
As you can see this is a very light wash of color.
These are slightly more pigmented then the Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss.

Pearly Pink

Sweet Clementine Moisture Seduction Lip Gloss

The lip swatch is pictured below.
As you can see this is a very light wash of color.
Again, this is slightly more pigmented then the Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss.

Sweet Clementine


Pros: 

  • Affordable - about $2.99-$3.99/each
  • Moisturizing/ Non-Drying
  • Nice shimmer/sheen to these glosses 
  • Light fruity scent, not overpowering or too sweet 
  • Medium pigmentation, not fully opaque, but not translucent 

Cons:

  • Thick consistency (like vaseline/petroleum jelly)
  • Tacky feeling on lips
  • Medium pigmentation, not fully opaque, but not translucent
  • 1 or 2 hrs of wear... if you minimally drink, do NOT eat or smoke or anything else, re-application is necessary throughout the day/night

Now I am not telling anyone NOT to purchase these.

Please scroll down to check out the lip swatches and review!

In my personal opinion (reasons stated below) these are not keepers in my book.
Sadly I have had these over a year now and have only used them
just a handful of times.

I have so many other brands I reach for in my collection,
that even though I wanted to LOVE these,
these left me wanting something else!


Pink Shimmer Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss

The lip swatch is pictured below.
As you can see this is a very light wash of color.

Pink Shimmer




Luminous Mauve Onyx Luster Tri-Lip Gloss

As you can see this is a very light wash of color.

Peach Sparkle


Pros: 

  • Affordable - 2 for $6.99  
  • Moisturizing/ Non-Drying
  • Nice shimmer/sheen to these glosses 
  • Light fruity scent, not overpowering or too sweet 

Cons:

  • Thick consistency (like vaseline/petroleum jelly)
  • Tacky feeling on lips
  • Translucent (not opaque color pigmentation)
  • 1-2 hrs wear if you minimally drink, do NOT eat or smoke or anything else, re-application is necessary throughout the day/night

Now I am not telling anyone NOT to purchase these.
These particular lip gloss do not fit my personal needs.

Nyx Natural Palette (Swatches)





Here are the NYX Natural Palette Swatches!

I purchased this palette from amazon for about $10.
I was hoping to compare this to the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette.
HANDS DOWN U.D. has this beat.

Stay tuned for the review coming soon!
