NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumper ($6) Boost your lips to its fullest shape and size with our Pump it Up Lip Plumper. Our Pump it Up Lip Plumpers come in 5 assorted colors and each shade acknowledges well known sensual celebrity lips such as Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson, along with plenty other desirable famous vixens. With one swipe of the Pump it Up Lip Pumper, your lips begin to tingle and the transformation from thin to full will occur instantly!
My Thoughts:
NYX’s Pump It Up Lip Plumper is a lip plumping lip gloss. One swipe of the lip gloss, and it’s hello Angelina Jolie lips! You immediately feel a tingling sensation upon application. The tingling doesn’t bother me. However, I have a feeling if you’re sensitive to these types of products, it’ll feel more like a burning sensation. The cinnamon oil is what causes the tingling and gives a cinnamon flavor to the glosses. I found the glosses to look better when layered over a lip color than if you were to wear it alone. The glosses can be either too sheer or frosty if worn alone. They also have shimmer; some more than others. Out of the 3 NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumpers I tried (Jessica, Lindsay, and Lisa), Jessica was my favorite. Jessica gave a nude lip color with a bit of shimmer. Lindsay wasn’t a favorite of mine because it was too frosty for my taste. Also, it was too much a cool-tone for me. Lisa was like a clear gloss with shimmer. Overall, I really liked NYX’s Pump It Up Lip Plumpers. The shades are all very pretty, and the plumping effect wasn’t bothersome.

 NYX Lipliner Pencil ($3.50) Slim, trim but never prim, our lip pencils come in 60 dashing shades—from auburn to orange and traffic-stopping red. The buttery, long-wearing lip liner formula goes on easily and resists bleeding. Available in 60 shades.
My Thoughts:
836 Bloom -a bold fuchsia shade. I love to pair this up with a bold pink lipstick/gloss to make the color pop even more.
857 Nude Beige -a medium tan shade that I like to use for a nude or natural lip color.
858 Nude Pink -a light pink nude shade
860 Peekaboo Neutral – a nude shade with a hint of pink. This is my go to lip liner.
Overall, I wish the NYX Slim Lip Pencils were creamier. I don’t like it when lip products are on the dry side because it tends to tug on your lips. To be clear, it doesn’t dry out your lips. The texture just isn’t creamy. However, I don’t have to worry about the color fading because it is quite long lasting! I would most definitely repurchase since it’s so affordable and there are so many shades to choose from!

 NYX Lipliner Pencil ($3.50) Slim, trim but never prim, our lip pencils come in 60 dashing shades—from auburn to orange and traffic-stopping red. The buttery, long-wearing lip liner formula goes on easily and resists bleeding. Available in 60 shades.
My Thoughts:
810 Natural – a brownish beige shade. It’s great if you’re going for a nude/natural lip color.
812 Plum – a dark mauvy shade.
813 Plush Red – a bright red with a bit of orange.
817 Hot Red – a bright, bold red. I think it’s a perfect classic Hollywood red lip color.

 NYX Round Lipstick ($4) A velvet-textured lipstick formulated with mineral oils to provide moisturizing benefits and rich colors. NYX’s top selling lipstick, The Round Lipstick offers long-lasting, non-smudging color.
My Thoughts:
Just like all the other NYX Round Lipsticks, they are creamy and go on very smooth. The lipsticks are quite moisturizing and go on pigmented. I didn’t notice any weird lipstick smells either. I really like how the bottom of the lipstick case is clear so you can have a good view of the lipstick color without having to take the cap off. The NYX Round Lipsticks aren’t super long lasting, but what moisturizing lipstick is right?
There are 24 new NYX Round Lipstick shades for Summer 2011.
Of the 24 new shades, I have 4 of them to show you: Lip Du Jour, Shiva, Fortune Cookie, and Paparazzi.
Lip Du Jour is a frosty, light pink shade. It’s not super frosty where the pink color gets lost.
Shiva is a bold, dark hot pink shade with a hint of red.
Fortune Cookie is a shimmery, golden nude color. It almost matches my skin tone, but surprisingly doesn’t completely wash me out. I think the hint of a golden undertone really helps add some color to the nude color. I think Fortune Cookie will look best on people with a light skin tone.
Paparazzi is a rosy pink shade.

 Palladio Herbal Precision Lipliner in Gingerbread ($5.99) Palladio Precision Lip Liners features a waterproof, no transfer formula that is the perfect all day lip liner for all skin types. Lasts for up to 12 hours. Buildable color pigment, for soft to dramatic styles. Silicone base will not “bleed” or “feather” like traditional wax liners.
My Thoughts:
Palladio Precision Lip Liners are so creamy and go on so smoothly! The lip liner has a glossy/creamy sheen to it, but when you apply the liner, it goes on matte. Gingerbread is a dark neutral, nude color that you can actually turn it into a lip color. Just line your lips, fill it in, and top it off with some clear gloss. The color lasts for hours and hours. It doesn’t fade or feather. The best part? The lip liner doesn’t dry out your lips.
Available at Sally Beauty Supply
