Nyx has been sold in my local Boots for a few months now and I've managed to gain quite a collection so I thought I would put my thoughts and feelings on them all in the same place in case anyone else is curious about trying to now easy to get your hands on brand.
Nyx Above & Beyond Full Coverage Concealer
I find this works great as an under eye concealer. It's a very lightweight concealer with a medium coverage. It wasn't enough to cover spots on it's own, so for that I still reach for my Collection concealer, but under the eyes it's perfect. Doesn't crease and sits effortlessly on top. I have the shade '04 Beige' which is ever so slightly lighter than my skin tone making is ideal to brighten under my eyes.
Nyx Sculpt & Highlight Brow Contour
I love using a concealer under my brows to help shape and lighten so was very excited to see a product which included both a brow pencil and the highlighter on the other end. In store it was hard to tell what shade would suit as all the testers were ruined and the boxes were sealed so I took a bit of a guess with the shade '05 Brunette/Cream' and it paid off as this seems perfect. I was quite impressed with the range selection and they seemed to cater for fair/auburn shades as well which is rare to find in a drugstore brand. I've tried this today for the first time and so far I'm very impressed!

Nyx Butter Gloss
The shade 'Tiramisu' was the first Nyx product which I got and I just fell in love, hence why I recently just had to pick up another in the shade 'Angel Food Cake'. These are beautiful glossy without being at all sticky and smell so tasty that it's an effort not the eat them. They are very pigmented and both these shades are perfect for daytime.
Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream
Again, I have these in two shades and I'm actually torn between them. The first shade I got was 'Morocco' which is a very bright orange-toned red. When I first tried this I didn't get on with the formula. I found it dried uneven and sat awkwardly on top of my lips. However, when I tried the shade 'Prague' I was in love. It dried to a perfect matte which didn't feel drying at all. The shade again was a lot brighter than I expected but this time this was for the better. I love it so much I've already done a whole blog on it, which you can read
here, and even got a couple of compliments the first time I wore it.
If you were to try the brand and didn't know where to start I would definitely recommend the Butter Gloss's and can't imagine anyone not getting on with them!
