Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I haven't tried NYX yet but I have heard so much about it that now I want to try some of the e/s, especially if the colors show up really well

Oh boy, I am in the minority here...I picked up a few of them and I wasn't too crazy about them.

I took that Tropical (Y,O,G) palette back and bought the singles.



I love NYX. NYX and HiP are my MAC. My BSS' near me have tester squares so I can just rub a little on the back of my hand and it tells me which ones are chalky or not true to the color. A lot of the browns they have are chalky as are a lot of the blues. So for those colors I stick to HiP.


That being said I probably own about 16-20 NYX singles, almost all the pigments and two trios. I also own two lipglosses that I don't care for that much, 6 nail colors that I adore and about 5 jumbo eye pencils that are terrific.

What colors/products do you have? The best product they have IMO are the singles. Next the jumbo eye pencils, then the pigments and everything else.

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I've been pretty happy with the lipglosses and jumbo eye pencils- they go on so smoothly! I ordered a ton of singles, so we'll see if I like those also

I just went on cherry culture website and they have a brand called wild and crazy. Has anyone used those? Are they any different than the other single eyeshadows they have?

I have several Wild and crazy shadows and they are pretty good. I only paid $1.00 for the ones I have from a local beauty supply store. For $1.00, I have no complaints.

NYX shadows are great, but I just purchased a shadow brush #3 and it sheds like crazy. I have never had a brush to shed like that.

i have a few wild and crazy products...eyeshadows and lipglosses and for the price it's great...out of all the shadows, there's one that doesn't have a color payoff....but other than that for $1.49 where I am...can't complain...

Thanks for this! I was about to order online, but I'm in the Bronx and can get to Harmon pretty easily. The one in the Bed Bath and Beyond on Central Ave, right?

Also which store in Mt. Vernon sold them?

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I recently got a copper-red lipgloss from NYX. It's very pigmented, smooth, and not sticky at all. It doesn't smell too weird either.

I don't know if this is true for ALL NYX l/g but you should try them out.

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I love the NYX eyeshadows :3 They are all so pretty and I think they blend really well. I think I have about... six of the single eyeshadows and two trios. I've tried the face products or lip products so I can't really say anything about those. I do love the candy liners though and I might get all of them They last a long time and are cheaper than buying the ones from Urban Decay for $18 a pop.

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

i love the shadow crayons...they are great alone or as bases. i only have 2 of the shadows and they have been great so far....
post #44 of 80

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I think they're a good brand. The single shadows are pigmented and blendable.

I've seen lipstick swatches and am liking the round l/s for the creamy texture...

Crayons are awesome, just need a thin layer and a base underneath.

Liners are also a good deal too...

Best part: affordable and wide color&texture range

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I just bought some today and have no complaints. So far I've used a lip liner and the shadow crayon and am pleased with the results. I can definitely see me buying more. So affordable.

pretty decent brand.

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I really like the singles, kiwi is a crazy good green that you should check out if you need a bright green. Their matte shades (i got yellow and white) are disappointing, the jumbo eye pencils are good and the pigments are GREAT when you use them wet; go on like paint and don't come off at all. I haven't tried their lip or cheek stuff because I like NARS for the cheeks, so I save on the eyes by buying NYX.

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

My ulta only carries NYC brand, that isn't the same right?

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I can't say enough about the single eyeshadows.

I am in love with them.

and even the ones I wasn't crazy about at first, I apply them over cream eyeshadow and it makes the colors POP!!



Its a small collection now but with a little TLC, its growing!!

Nope. NYX makeup is not associated w/ N.Y.C brand.

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I got all 160 eyeshadows and yes there's some that aren't that great..
I would avoid the ones that start with "hot" - Like Hot green, hot yellow..

However, there's 2 hot pink's, one with glitter and one without..
The one without is great, but the one with glitter suck..

I also own their mascaras, foundation, powder, eyeliner, lipstick, lipgloss, pigments, jumbo penils, glitter liners and so on..

I love nyx..!!
I don't care too much about their brushes however other than the flat top, angled eyeliner and nr 1 and 3 eyeshadow brushes...

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

who uses the nail polish?? does it chip easily or does it last long?
post #55 of 80

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

Personally, I really like NYX.

Thier e/s's are very creamy, smooth and pigmented. There's a large range of colors and it's extremely affordable.
I have about 12 e/s, 3 jumbo pencils, 1 blush in a bright pink color, 4 (unopened) pearl e/s, 5 pigments and an e/s trio in Copper, Bronze & Rust (the trio is my Mac's Spiced Chocolate quad "fix"... I already had the trio and noticed that 2 of the colors are very similar to the mac quad).

I've heard from Pursebuzz that some NYX e/s's are hard to work with, but out of my collection, everything is super smooth & pigmented.
I've noticed that NYX products are sold at Longs Drugstore, Ulta and privately owned salons (I've seen it at an asain owned spa in Northern California). Luckly, Ulta always have discounts (buy 1 get 1 free) or coupons available. Longs rarely have sales for NYX.

I've used the polishes on my toenails and have had great luck. I can go at least 3 weeks before I even think about stripping them. My complaint is actually that it's almost too hard to remove.

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

How does their matte e/s black shade compare to Carbon?
post #59 of 80

Re: What's you take on NYX Cosmetics?

I love NYX, especially the Jumbo Eye Pencils! They are awesome to use as a base or as a normal color on the eyelid.

I love the eyeshadows but lately, one of my trios (the tropical one) hasn't been showing great color payoff when I wear it. So I don't know what happened to it.

Anyhow, great makeup line

I bought a NYX lip-gloss at Ulta here in ATX. They didn't have lipsticks, but the selection was pretty good.
