THE FULL COVERAGE FACE BASE

With the weather slowly coming into autumn, my very sheer base is no longer doing the trick. I haven't got partially bad skin although on some days I want something that will give me a lot more coverage and whilst I was throwing out questions on twitter and searching high and low on the internet, I bumped into NYX. Having tried a few NYX products before, of which I totally loved, so I thought I'd give a few more products to try. There is so much positive feedback bouncing about the internet for these products so I had serious high hopes.
Yet again, I was impressed. Like seriously impressed and I've tried many a foundation. The NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat is fast becoming my new favourite foundation. Lightweight, easily blend-able with a lovely full coverage matte finish, there's nothing I don't love. I use the shade 01 Ivory and it is ideal for my pasty pale skin. It lasts all day whilst controlling my oily t-zone and doesn't cling to my dry patches, heaven in a tube!
I also popped into my basket the HD Photogenic Concealer and the Above and Beyond Full Coverage Concealer both in the shade 02 Fair and these have really helped to give me the full coverage flawless base I've been lusting after. Like the foundation, both are really blend-able, lightweight and provide a great amount of coverage. The formulas are faultless! The only complaint I have is that the HD Photogenic Concealer did crease under my eyes, but to be honest, most concealers do.
If you're looking for a foundation/concealer that's full coverage and won't break the bank - I'm sure you'll love these!

NYX - GIVE A LITTLE LOVE

LIPSTICK LOVERS, THIS IS THE POST FOR YOU!
 I have without a doubt fallen in love with this product so even before I start ranting on about how much I adore it, I'm spreading the lipstick joy and seriously advising you to get on your hands on this product. NOW!
I recently picked this trio up from Very.com for the minimal price of £12 but if don't wish to purchase from Very, the set is sold online on the NYX website. I've always been a fan of NYX products so I definitely had high hopes, and they delivered. The set contains three shades; Antwerp - a coral pinkk, Addis Ababa- a fuschia pink and Tokyo- a nude pink. I'm not usually fan of pink lip products but this trio truly changed my mind.
The thing I love about this set is the formula and finished result of the lip cream. The lip cream is so easy to apply as it goes on almost like a lipgloss, just with a creamy texture, but dry as a matte lipstick resulting a product I just can't help but adore. The shades are very wearable and can seriously add a pop of colour to any face! 
I think a product like this is ideal in the current heat wave that we're experiencing in Britain at the moment as it doesn't melt like a lipstick nor does it have that horrible gooey texture that a lip gloss gives.

I'm sure it's undoubtedly clear to you all that I love this lip cream but I'm positive that if you try it you'll be the same!
Have you tried any NYX  lip creams? What did you think?

The opinions above are my own and the products were purchased using my own money.
