^^^ Thanks!!! Mauve and natural look very similiar. Are they different enough to get both?

I have natural and I think it looks very brown in person - on my pale skin it's hardly a "natural" color. The mauve looks more, well, mauve in the pictures. I can imagine it would be a more flattering color for me, so i might add that to my next CC order.

So I would say it is prohibitively expensive and I won't be buying from them anymore. I could kick myself over and over for not ordering a week ago when the old shipping rules applied...I was drawing up a mental list of things I wanted and was just waiting for a spare hour to order. I will never learn the lesson...if you genuinely want stuff don't dither and contemplate, it will go and you will be filled with regret! So sad, where will I get my cheapo NYX fix now?

you should try nonpareilboutique.com (i think thats the address?) thats where im thinking of ordering from!

also i dont know where you're from, but NYX is coming to the uk soon!

It looked good when I left for work but half way through the day it wore off. I don't think it is the best concealer but for $5 I guess you can't be too mad about it. You should all give it a try though. It may just be the way my skin is. =)

thanks for the review

that's what i heard also - that it really dries out during the day so you end up with "ten-years-older" look

definitely not something i'm looking for. it seems that i'm going to stay faithful to my HR Magic concealer after all

^^Yeah I will not repurchase this item. I'm only using it because I spent money on it lol

Yes, they are different enough to get both... But they are both great because they can go with so many lippies

As said, Natural is browner and Mauve is pinkier. I am between NW25 and NW30 and Natural on me is a bit brown, not overly dark but you can tell it's there LOL. If you are trying to choose one or the other I would go with Mauve because it's perfect for any pink/purpleish shades as well as neautrals. I am a really big fan of these NYX liners and honestly wish I would have known about how great they were before I bought MAC's. Not that the MAC liners are bad, but I think NYX are creamier and smoother and CHEAPER

Does NYX have a MAC Espresso dupe? Something matte for brows and not warm or reddish.

Do yall know how often Cherry culture has 20% discount? I'm making a whole list of things I want now haha. I really just want some more lippies! Thanks chickatthegym! I hope you get to try orange soda. I really like circe with whipped too.

 

[chickatthegym]

^Thanks Lady! I would try that ebay seller I recommended. Her prices are CHEAP and her shipping was like $1.25 (in U.S. though) if you want lippies. She has them all and you can pick and choose and she has hooked me up the 3 times I bought

Looking at my past orders I can see that they had codes around august 25th and september 20th. They also had a code that was only posted on twitter that was valid the first days of September. Going back in time on their twitter feed I also found a code in the beginning of July.

My conclusion: It's been a month since the last one, so a code should pop up soon, hang in there.

thanks i was having this problem, too! i will check out the cover girl one

Re: I Feel Like This is a STUPID ? but...

This is NOT a stupid question at all!

... For up till now I thought they weren't able to be sharpened! NYX should really make a special sharpener for them.

 

[jenizzle]

No problem, I hope they get you your stuff soon! Just looking at my order there, it took them 2 days to process and complete my order so your stuff should be on its way soon

Also another for the UK folks - this may have come up in the thread already but I found NYX in a shop called All Wellan Good in Banbridge outlet. The stuff was very highly priced compared to Cherry Culture/Ebay (I think between £5 and £7 for lipstick) but it's worth it to at least go and have a look at the products and decide what you want to order. There seems to be a few of the shops knockin' about so have a google and see if there's one near you!

They do, and it's been mentioned a few times in this thread that people use it.

I use my NYX Sharpener I got with my rep kit.

Re: I Feel Like This is a STUPID ? but...

I remember when the NYX jumbo pencils first came around in drugstores like Longs or w/e they were selling sharpeners with them, so I still have one from a long time ago.. that works on them!

I know now, after i wrote that I read a little closer and saw. It should however be noted in the description someplace "for even longer use try our NYX sharpener, the perfect size to sharpen our larger pencils" or something like that.

I had no idea that even existed until today and i've owned the bulk of my pencils for over a year.
