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 Lipstick ($5.99) Palladio Herbal Lipstick is enriched with peppermint for fresh breath. Added herbs like Green Tea, Chamomile, Ginseng, Ginkgo Biloba, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to improve the lips surface and combat aging to reduce the appearance of fine lines. It prevents the lips from drying or cracking, providing the natural humectants needed for a healthy look.
My Thoughts:
Another awesome product from Palladio! The Palladio Herbal Lipsticks are very pigmented and not over drying. The lipsticks are creamy and go on smoothly. The staying power I would have to say is like most lipsticks. I was able to wear the lipsticks for several hours before having to do a tiny touch up. I like how there was no unpleasant smell or taste. I find a lot of the times lipsticks have a weird smell or taste. While the lipstick was on my lips, they did not settle into any fine lines or feel heavy. The lipsticks are high in quality; low in price, and I have to say probably one of the best lipsticks I have ever tried (high end included). I am very impressed with the Palladio Herbal Lipsticks.

Palladio Herbal Lip Slix in Vixen ($5.99) Create full, beautiful lips with the Palladio Herbal Lip Slix crayon. All the control of a crayon with the shine of a lip gloss. Easy to apply and won’t smudge like some glosses.
My Thoughts:
Palladio Herbal Lip Slix is a jumbo-sized lip crayon. The crayon gives the pigmentation of a lipstick and the shine of a gloss. Because the end is pointy like a pencil, it gives you a lot of control and precision when you apply the Herbal Lip Slix. It serves as a lip liner and lip color at the same time. It’s a 2-in-1 product! On my lips, the Herbal Lip Slix feels very smooth and moisturizing. The staying power is excellent and there is no strange scent or taste.
A minor concern I do have is having to sharpen the pencil. It’s a jumbo-sized pencil, and I’m not too sure how many people own a sharpener that fit jumbo-sized pencils. It’s not a problem for me because I own sharpeners for various pencil sizes, but it may be an inconvenience for people who only own a sharpener for slim pencils.
