NYX+Coastal Scents

Exam just finished yesterday at 6.15p.m. This time I don’t get the satisfied feeling after the exam. The feeling like you done your best and now you can enjoy the holidays kind of feeling. Maybe I didn’t work hard enough this round. This sem seems longer compared to the previous. It’s so tiring doing this all over again in another 2 weeks but for now I’m just going to let my hair down and relax. So till then ACCA, till we meet again in 2 weeks time.

Back to the title of this post, during the exam as I was hibernating at home I did some online shopping. I bought a Coastal Scents 6 contour and blush palette for RM65. I don’t remember from which site I got it but I think the seller can be found on lelong.com. The palette arrive and one of the blush has cracked. I contact the seller and he said its normal and no refund or exchange. So I asked him how to fix it and he said use facial toner. Tried that and it didn’t work. The guy didn’t even gave me the instruction on how to use the facial toner to fix the crack. Then he told me that usually it is impossible to fix it back to normal. I was like WTH are you saying, first you said crack during shipping very normal, then you say very easy to fix and lastly you said impossible to fix. I gave up relying on this guy and when googling on methods to fix it. YouTube is your best friend these days I tell you. Then I when out and got a bottle of alcohol in 95%. You can easily get it in pharmacy, I got mine at Guardian. Just tell then it’s for cleaning wound and they will point you the directions.

When I reached home I smash my cracked blush even further to make it into powder as instructed and pour in the alcohol to make a paste out of it. Then leave it to dry afterwards. After 3 hours it was good as new and no thanks to you seller!

I forgot to take photo of the cracked bluch but this is the picture after I fix it:

The one that cracked is the one on the most right corner. You can see that around it has some white cast, that is actually the residual from the smashing that was stucked and couldn’t be clean.

Next will be pictures of my NYX lipstick:

NYX round lipstick in fire and Indian pink. NYX is suppose to be a very cheap but quality product from USA. I bought these at only RM10 each online and the colour selection are crazy. You can find any colour between black to white, REALLY! I bought it from NYX Cosmetics Malaysia. You can either find them on forum.lowyat or try searching them on Facebook. I actually bought some from another seller since NYX Cosmetics Malaysia have sold out some of the colours I wanted. You can have a look here.

I actually bought 3 lipstick, 1 lipgloss and 1 set of fake lashes altogether :-P
This one above is in jupiter and the gloss is in natural. The gloss is mauve-y brown-y shade that looks bit ugly and dull on the lips but the colour turn out pretty and almost the same as my lips colour. No shimmer but opaque in colour. Not sticky so no worries bout hair sticking to my lips that much. A shade true to its name- natural :-)

Here are the swatches:

This are taken under natural light and are as close to the colour in the tube as you can get. Very creamy and one swipe is enough to cover the lips fully. Fire is a bright red and I’m still figuring how to wear this. When I tried it on last night my BF said it was a pain in the eye to look at me cause it is so distracting. LOL :-D

Indian pink isn’t really a pink, more like a peachy colour with a hint of pink. A very sweet shimmery colour I would say.

Jupiter is a shimmery and bit frosty light pink that when I put it on makes me look dead as my BF would say. Maybe a dramatic eye to liven up the ‘dead’ colour? And the blob of brown thing is the gloss. Told you it looks dull but rest a sure it is a ‘my lips but better’ kind of shade.

Taken with flash on. You can see more clearly the shimmers of indian pink and jupiter here.

And finally:

Introducing Extreme Measures!
It is the name of the lashes la :-) But they look pretty extreme too right? Bought it at RM7.60.

And that is all for now, Happy Holidays to all ACCA!

Happy always.
