NYX Matte Lipstick Swatches (Tea Rose, Whipped Caviar, Natural, Sierra)

I am back with a few swatches for you ladies. I've recently been loving matte lipsticks & one of the girls that I follow on Instagram had this gorgeous matte lip color. I asked her what it was & she told me she mixed NYX Matte Lipstick in "Sierra" with NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in "San Paulo". Ulta had the BOGO  50% deals on both Matte Lipstick & Lip Cream, so I decided to get them in other colors. Haven't really played with them yet, but here's the swatches for you guys. Enjoy!

NYX Matte Lipstick

 L-R: Tea Rose, Whipped Caviar, Natural, Sierra

L-R: NYX Round Lipstick "Tea Rose & NYX Matte Lipstick "Tea Rose"

"Tea Rose" was one of my favorite from their Round Lipstick collection, so I wanted to see the difference between the two. Of course, the Round Lipstick has more gloss and the colors are a lot different. The Matte lipstick has more of a deeper pink color, I was hoping they'd be the same.

M·A·C HAUL: FALL LIP COLORS

I usually tend to stick to neutral colors throughout the year, but this year, I decided to make a little change. I got me a few lip products from M·A·C last week and love love love the colors! I got M·A·C lipsticks in "Plumful" and "Rebel". And to go with "Rebel", I decided to pair it up with M·A·C Cremesheen Glass in "Loud & Lovely" with M·A·C lip pencil in "Magenta". "Plumful" is a nice everyday lipstick, while "Rebel" on the other gives you bolder lips. "Magenta" can intensify the brightness of "Rebel" and "Loud & Lovely" tones it down a bit. I love how you can play around with colors to get the look you want.

E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK SWATCHES PART 3

Oh how I love e.l.f.'s 50% off deals. Last week on 8/8, e.l.f. decided to have another one as part of their 8th birthday celebration. Lucky me ;] I thought I was going to wait until around the holidays to get the rest of the mineral lipstick. So I got the last 6 lipsticks to complete the collection ^__^ I'm in love with these lippies. They have this creamy texture and the pigmentation is buildable. Definitely try these out!

e.l.f. Mineral Mineral Lipstick

L-R: Bare Brown, Royal Red, Prime Plum, Rustic Brick, Natural Nymph, Beautiful Berry

E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK SWATCHES PART 2

Here's the next swatches of the 5 e.l.f. Mineral Mineral Lipstick that I recently purchased and the "Rich Raspberry" that I had gotten for free awhile back. Hopefully I'll be able to do a part 3 when I get a hold of the last 6 lippies, then that'll complete the collection :) I'm lovin' most of them so far <3

e.l.f. Mineral Mineral Lipstick
L-R: Fiery Fuchsia, Ripe Rose, Cheerful Cherry, Rosy Tan, Runway Pink, Rich Raspberry

E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK SWATCHES PART 1

Here's a quick swatch of the first 6 e.l.f. Mineral Mineral lipstick that I recently purchased. I'll also be doing swatches of each individual lipstick on my lips since there is a difference from swatching on your arm. So I'll do that when I have the time, but for now this will do ;] Next 6 will probably be posted by tomorrow.

 e.l.f. Mineral Mineral Lipstick

L-R: Nicely Nude, Pouty Petal, Party Pink, Cool Coral, Barely Bitten, Rosy Raisin

E.L.F. HAUL

A couple of weeks ago e.l.f. had their anniversary, so everything on their website were 50% off. I've been waiting for this opportunity to get a hold of a few of their mineral lipstick since I'm in love with the only one I have in "Rich Raspberry". A few turned into 9, then my sister wanted me to order some stuff for her, so I added 2 more mineral lippies to her order since there was a couple that I really wanted to try. Now that I have 12 out of the 18 they have, I'm hoping to get the rest the next time they have another 50% off deal. Why pay the full price when you can get it half off right? Stay tuned for swatches!

E.L.F. FACEBOOK EXCLUSIVE 50% OFF SITEWIDE

I've been waiting for one of these. I love the mineral lipstick in "Rich Raspberry" they had sent me for free and been wanting to try out the rest of the shades. I know they always have some kind of deal, so I was in no rush in purchasing them right away. I wasn't about to pay full price when I could get them for 50% off! I bought 9 shades for under $30, shipping included. Not bad huh? Use code FBHALF on orders $20+ by 7/10 8am EST. Can't wait to play with them :]

I told my bf I was putting an order for 9 lipsticks. He said, "I don't even want to know how much you spent on them." lol I can be a smart shopper too!

E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK IN "RICH RASPBERRY" SWATCH

I cleaned out my makeup drawers & tossed out old products that I don't use anymore last month. I found so many products that I haven't even touched! That's why I decided to put a halt on buying makeup products and use the ones I already have. I found so many lippies I haven't used, one of them became my current favorite. This lipstick is from E.L.F.'s Mineral Mineral Lipstick in "Rich Raspberry". They sent me this lipstick awhile back, but I haven't had the time to play with it.

E.L.F. Mineral Mineral Lipstick in "Rich Raspberry"

I really love this lipstick! It goes well with a neutral eye look. I've been using it over M·A·C Cremesheen Glass in "Deelight", which I usually use with all my lipstick. The texture of that lipgloss is amazing! I'm thinking of purchasing more of this lippie in different shades, but I could wait until they have a really huge sale on their mineral line.
