This is my place to be as girly as I like and happily know that there are others out there who can relate. I have been slow about updating but I am slowly but surely getting off my arse and trying to update more often ^^

Sooo I got my order in right after Christmas but I have failed to post anything about it until now due to the flu.
Which, I know, seems like the perfect time to curl up in bed with my laptop and update things to keep myself entertained, however I had to work so yay.

Anyway, back on topic :P

As for swatches I made a vid.
Check out the video on my youtube and click "watch in high quality" for better pix.

The package arrived at my door like minutes before I had to leave for work, so you can imagine how anxious I was to get home and play with everything.
I waited until the next day to so the lighting would be better for pictures and it was all worth the wait =3

I ordered 11 Amuse pencils, 9 eye and 2 lip, at $ .50 a piece.
They're somewhat soft but apply pretty smooth.
I was hoping for the lighter browns to be light but they go on pretty dark, not a real bad thing I just won't be using them for brow pencils anytime soon :P
The colorful ones take a little bit of layering to show up bright.
No major complaints on the liners, and who could for $ .50 each right?

I also got quite a few NYX products. There aren't any stores nearby that carry NYX so I have been so excited to try them. I got a green concealer wand, 2 single eyeshadows, 6 Ultra Pearl Mania pigments, 1 Mega Shine Lipgloss and 15 Round Lipsticks.
Short reviews product by product:

Green Concealer ($5.00)- Awesome! Smooth texture so application is easy. I have slight Rosecea on my cheeks, my left especially, and it can be really hard to cover the flare ups. I applied a thin layer of this on the problem areas before my foundation and the final result was unbelieveable.

Single Eyeshadows ($3.50 each)- Soft texture, pretty easy to blend and nice color payoff. I got Golden Orange and Vanilla Sky and the colors are very true to the names. Golden Orange is a beautiful orange with a golden shimmer and Vanilla Sky is a light, almost nude color with slight white gold shimmer, perfect for highlighting the brow bone.

Ultra Pearl Mania Pigments ($1.25 each)- Very nifty little things they are. I got these in Pearl, Nude, Mink, Mocha, Silver and Rust. All are very shimmery and pigmented. A little goes a long way, however, make sure you have a good base or they have a tendency to wear thin pretty quickly. I used a cream eyeshadow and mine stayed in place and the colors were bold until I washed them off. Once again, can't complain with that kinda price.

Mega Shine Lipgloss ($4.00)- Love this stuff! They had so many colors to choose from but I have been wanting a bright red gloss for the longest time. I got this in Plush Red and I love it! You can do one coat with a light hand and it'll show up kind of a sheer strawberry color or apply a coat as you would regularly and it is a gorgeous plush red, hence the name :P Also a plus, it has a slight fruity scent, kinda black cherry scented.

Round Lipsticks ($1.50 each)- My favorite things from the haul by far! I have never been a lipstick kinda girl and it made me sad. Everytime I put some on I felt that I looked strange and ended up taking it off right away :/
NYX Round Lipsticks have MADE me a lipstick kinda girl I am so happy to say ^^
They have soooooo many colors to choose from, the color payoff is perfect plus they have a smooth texture and don't dry out my lips.
I got these in Indian Pink, Iris, Pumpkin Pie, Circe, Summer Love, Frappucino, Frosted Flakes, Fig, Doll, Thalia, Tea Rose, Electra, Vitamin, Mute, and Sky Pink. The colors stand alone are awesome but my favorite thing to do is layer 2 colors <3 href="http://www.cherryculture.com/">Cherry Culture
