Cherry Culture Buys.

I placed a small order on Cherry Culture not too long ago. The package took a long time to show up (and I really wouldn't call it a "it was worth the wait, though" sorta thing...). I've had a week or so to play with the items so I'll let you know what I think!

 NYX Trio in Purple, Deep Purple, Prune

Excellent pigmentation! These swatches are dry, with no base. For the money, you definitely do not go wrong. And being the same size as MAC shadows, I depot them from their original home and move them into my MAC palette. They blend right in - I cant tell that I'm mixing 'high end' with 'lower end' eyeshadows.

All NYX eyeshadow trios have treated me the same, so all you have to decide on is colors! You can order these pretty shadows pretty much anywhere! (Ulta, Cherry Culture, Makeup Geek's Store, etc.) Hop around blogs and look at swatches.

NYX Trio in Casablanca

As I said above ^. I love this trio!

NYX Cream Blush in Natural 

This creme blush is non-oily, super pigmented and easy to work with. The color, first of all, lives up to it's name in that it is very natural. I was a little in the dark on how to apply this, just because I've never used anything like a creme blush before - but after deciding (or really, having the product scream in my face) that it is extremley pigmented and that you only need the teeniest bit, I loved the end result!

Milani Blush in Luminous

This would not show up on camera no matter what I did. I'm quite sad too, becuase this blush is lovely! It was said to be a NARS Orgasm dupe (I couldn't say... I dont own, nor have I ever even swatched Orgasm), but Orgasm or not, it's beautiful! A light peachy-pink with shimmer. Really perfect for summer.

NYX Glitter Liners in Disco Queen and Jade

These glitter liners also got a lot of rave reviews! I love glitter liners, and use them frequently, so for the cheap price, I couldnt resist! I think NYX does have two different kinds of glitter liners though... please make sure you get the one with the tassle on the top, if you do. The tassled liners are packed with glitter, unlike some more expensive glitter eyeliners that only come out in patches. The color range is awesome and I definitely plan on getting more!


Please mention your favorite NYX and/or Milani products down below. I'd love to make another order!
