Follow up on NYX cosmetics and Merlot

After using those amazingly beautiful NYX shadow palettes and the Blush, I am a happily satisfied consumer of the brand. As with many other eyeshadows, I think that the brighter NYX shadow palette colors appear more vivid if wet, when I use them dry, I don't get the full effect (I've mostly used the bright colors during the evening hours/if I'm wearing something that will definitely match it). As for the NYX blush in terra cotta... LOVE IT! I've been searching for the perfect blush for my skin tone, that isn't overly rougey but subtle. The terra cotta color is perfect for me. I'm so happy with it, I have no plans of switching to any other blush at this point in time :D

*UPDATE* As of 11/7 Don Quijote has marked down all NYX cosmetics to 30% OFF! Go get em quick before the sale expires.

Merlot

The famously reviewed moisturizing cream with grape seed extract that's anti-aging, antioxidant, SPF 15 is actually pretty great! Like most reviews of the product state, I've been using this cream for about several weeks right after I cleanse (morning and evening) and it makes my skin so soft and supple and great for applying under my makeup. I think it also has helped in my complexion as well! I don't have much darkness from lack of sleep forming around my eyes as much anymore; it's given me a fresh, clean look that hydrates my skin from the wear n tear of chemicals in the air, plus mine came with the extra 25% more travel size jar, so it does last for a long time. I hope you are enjoying yours as well!

Review score out of 5- 4.4/5 *the packaging for this isn't so sanitary, but this same product does come in a squeeze tube as well.

Have a great day!
