Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams - Tokyo & London

It's been a while since I've wanted to try Nyx Cosmetics. Sadly, it hasn't yet hit South Wales (Boots, May 18th I'm coming for ya), but upon my recent visit to London, I obviously had to hit Selfridge's to try them out for myself. After all, I'd heard such amazing things about the quality and value for money on all of their products.

I must say the girls on the counter were amazing, they were definitely run off their feet, but saw me struggling looking for a particular colour, and snapped it up for me through the chaos!

I went for a soft baby pink, which is 03 Tokyo, and I went for something a little different for me - a soft brown, almost a bit 90's, which is 04 London (appropriate!).

What's The Verdict?

I must say that this is my first experience of matte lipsticks, and I loved them, but it definitely confused my brain a little! When I wore it, I felt the urge to put more on as it felt dry, thinking that it had all come off - like a regular lipstick/gloss. But to my amazement it had just sorta, stained my lips. I guess this took getting used to more than a usual product!

You can see from the picture above, that the Tokyo shade is very natural, very summery, very cute. It's a really lovely shade of pink and definitely not an in-your-face colour.

I LOVED this. This is so out of my comfort zone but I really liked it. I felt so 90's. I'm usually all about the nude but this was a great step up!

Overall, both colours were great for me. They both go on lovely, are really creamy and well pigmented. And guess what? They're bloomin' £5.50 each. Seriously, Nyx, what ya doing to a girl? I'll take one in each shade. 

You can buy Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in all shades here for £5.50.

Visting London

I'm finally home, cwtched up in bed after a weekend with my bestie.

I love London, but equally couldn't wait to get out of the hustle and bustle. I was so nervous about travelling up alone, but I managed to score a two seater all by myself. So it was feet up, snack bag open (yes, a bag dedicated to snacks - it was a three hour bus ride!) and Pretty Little Liars all the way there.. Not too shabby!

We went sightseeing (you have to, no matter how many times you've been, right?) and to the Science Museum. I think I was expecting a giant Techniquest, but it was interesting all the same... Although, we definitely had the most fun in the gift shop. Probably the best part of any day out!

Yes, that's a selfie stick in my hand. Honestly, it kept us laughing all day long. Between the looks off people and the fact we couldn't take a decent photo they turned out hilarious. I hadn't used it yet, and thought that this weekend was the perfect opportunity to whip it out.  

And trust me to have chosen the hottest weekend in the history of the world to go to London. Honestly, it was so damn warm. As if it isn't hot enough squished on the underground like a tin of sardines, you have to chuck Sahara Desert weather on top of it. Although it did make for pretty pictures.

In the night we went to Fabric Nightclub. It was open until 9am.. Crazy! But we did last till 6:45. Getting a bus and overground home at that time was not one of my greatest moments. But it was definitely worth it, we had a blast.
