Review + Swatches: Nyx Intense Butter Gloss

By
Review of Nyx Intense Butter Gloss - New Spring 2015

I can't get enough of new lip products so I buy quite a lot of them, especially those in the drugstore price range. New formulas are particularly exciting to me! These Intense Butter Glosses by Nyx are a new addition to their line as of this spring and I'm a fan! They come in 12 shades in a great range of color.

I think their regular Butter Gloss is nice, but these are great for those of us who tend to like more pigment in our lip products. I'm usually a lipstick type of girl - not gloss - but these are so super pigmented I don't feel like I'm missing my lipstick. They're almost like a gloss/lipstick hybrid. Sometimes a glossy finish is fun, and on those days I'm reaching for my Intense Butter Gloss!

You can see quick swatches of the six shades I own below and my un-photoshopped, close-up mouth region. (Huzzah!)

You can see from the swatches that the very light shades can settle a little or be patchy, but from a regular human distance, I don't notice. I enjoy all of the colors I picked up even though Chocolate Crepe looks a little like I put chocolate frosting on my lips. (In a good way though, right?) Originally I just bought Banana Split and Berry Strudel because they were unique shades, but then I had to get four more.

These aren't sticky, smell like cake, and I don't find they migrate around my mouth. They definitely wear off when I eat and they leave leftover mouth marks on my coffee mug in the morning. I like that the darker shades leave a bit of a stain though, so I don't have to reapply too often.

You can find these at Ulta or on the Nyx website for around $6 each but I got mine BOGO 50%. There's a sale on Nyx at Ulta almost every other week so wait around for that.

Have you tried these glosses yet? What did you think? Which color is your favorite?

Ooh I keep seeing these at Target and always wonder if I should give them a shot or not. I'm not a fan of gloss and rather use lipstick but after reading that you say they're not sticky I might give it a try and buy one :)

Some of my men friends always feel disturbed by my glasses and beer bottles, because I always leave a huge, bright stain of lipstick on them. I wish there was a lippie that din't leave so much marks! I am loving these though, the toasted marshmallow is my favorite! ^_^

Work Outfit: Light Blue Jersey Knit Dress and White Block Heels

By

I'm a big fan of what I call "pajama dresses," which are really just jersey knit skater dresses . They're comfortable enough to sleep in, yet can look 100% put-together if styled nicely. That's exactly what I did with this light blue dress California-based shop Tobi sent me to style. (Someone even asked me why I was dressed so nice at the dog park! I told them I just came from work, of course.) For the debut of my newest pajama dress, I added my silvery beaded Stella and Dot necklace and a pair of white block heel sandals from Forever 21. I actually bought the shoes back in December on sale and had to wait for it to warm up to finally wear them. Happily, they're comfortable enough to walk back and forth to work, which is really all I can ask in a pair of cheap shoes.  daydreaming skater dress : c/o tobi | shoes : forever 21 | necklace: stella & dot | sunglasses: forever 21 Check out more from Tobi:  shorts  |  jewelry  |  casual dresses ...

Botanical Fun

These pictures are from my outing to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia, which just so happens to be conveniently located about 8 minutes from my apartment. There were still a nice amount of flowers blooming so it was really pretty. I decided I needed to get more wears out of my pretty Steal the Game Show dress from Modcloth so I took some inspiration from other bloggers and wore it as a skirt! I actually really liked how this outfit turned out. Plus it was easy to walk around in all day because I wore nice, comfy Keds. dress (worn as a skirt): Modcloth.com blouse, belt, bag: thrifted cardigan: ann taylor loft; thrifted shoes: keds sunglasses: kohls earrings: forever 21 I quite enjoyed my brightly colored nails. They're China Glaze Papaya Punch with an accent nail of Electrify from the Capitol Colours collection. I've been loving having the whole Capitol Colours collection. Especially since it's Hunger Games themed. If there...

Leather Scalloped Skirt, Polka Dots, & Orange Tights

Happy weekend everyone! I just had the most lazy weird Friday ever, so I'm updating later than usual. I basically slept on and off since class got done at noon. I know, I'm pretty exciting. This outfit was fun today though! I wore my leather skirt that we recently DIY scallop hemmed. I may post a little tutorial of sorts on how to do that, but it's pretty self explanatory. I like that the skirt is a little shorter now. It still squeezes my insides right at the waist, but it's more comfortable now that I'm having a few skinny months. Leather just doesn't have any give! Oh well, it looks cool. skirt, top, shoes: thrifted | tights, earrings, hair bow: forever21.com  I got to pull out my bag of long-sleeved tops and sweaters and such today. It's finally cool in the morning so the extra arm covering was welcome. Plus it was almost like Christmas getting to pull out my warm-weather-only clothes after all this time!  I always love when I real...
