Hey beauties!

Here’s a collective haul of things that I’ve picked up over the past few weeks and haven’t had the time to review. But don’t worry! Reviews for most of these products are coming soon.

I went to Phoenix in Pacific Mall to pick up NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk since I seemed at have left mine at a clients’ home. I came out with plenty of goodies because (obviously) I’m a sucker for a sale.

I once asked my Twitter and Tumblr followers about a matte black nail polish. A lot of responses consisted of “try Essie Matte About You” so when I found it in Pheonix (and on sale), I bought it. Review will be posted this week (hopefully along with some swatches)

(note: ignore the Avon nail polish in Ballerina. That was for another haul!)

Sticking with the theme of nail polish, I bought Essie in Licorice so I could create a matte black nail but since the nail polishes at Phoenix were on sale (2 for $10), I bought a China Glaze in Flip Flop Fantasy (to be used when I get my killer tan back this summer).

FYI: If you’re in the GTA and you love NYX, head over to Phoenix in Pacific Mall. They have a huge selection of NYX products at fair prices.
Review for the Soft Matte Lip Creams coming soon! :)

I bought the green sparkle eyeliner for St. Patricks Day (but I think it might be old…) and I really can’t tell you why I bought the blue glitter, other than each item was $3.

I mentioned earlier on in the post that I really only went to grab the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk because I lost mine, but these lip liners were screaming at me. Especially Dolly Pink. I love a pale pink lip, so this lip liner is a must have in my kit. Deep Red is perfect for, well…deep red lipstick! Review on NYX lip liners coming soon!

Are you a fan of NYX? Do you know where else NYX can be purchased throughout the GTA?

    Other then Pacific mall , you can purchase from selected Pharma Plus Drug stores.
    I have been using NYX even before it arrived in Canada. I used & still do buy from ebay as the prices are cheaper even with the shipping.

    I purchased 2 NYX glitter liners from Ulta, and they were of terrible quality. They peeled right off! So I took them back. I didn’t like their silver liquid liner, either. That’s all I’ve tried from NYX, so unfortunately so far I’m not impressed.

      The glitter liners aren’t the greatest, they kind of burn my eyes. I’ve tried their foundation and that is just terrible. But I love their lip liners, Mega Shine lip glosses, the matte lip glosses, and the Jumbo Eye Pencils. I even have an eyeshadow palette and it’s pretty good! I have yet to use the Glitter I bought but I swatched it and it’s really pigmented.
      The great thing about NYX is that they’re inexpensive so if you purchase a product and end up hating it, it’s not a big loss.
