Matte is back! NYX Matte Lipstick review

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Having spent years in the shadow of the gooey lipgloss, lipsticks have roared back to the forefront and matte lipsticks have been at the centre of the trend!  This year, bright, bold matte lips were all over the runway and in every magazine and the trend continues into the autumn/winter.  Years ago, dark, vampy, matte lips were routine but they got a bad reputation because they were often very drying, accentuated any cracks in your lips and generally not comfortable.  Fast forward to now and the formulas have been revamped.  Conditioners have been added to these densely pigmented lip products to make them a lot more wearable.

NYX just recently launched a new line of matte lipsticks in 22 colours.  I ordered 2 of them to start wih from beautyjoint.com and I paid $4.99 each.

This is one of the products that I have heard a lot of buzzz about from curly heads for years. Bee Hold Curly Butter is made by the company Bee Mine and it is probably their best selling product.  Always the first to sell out and I had to make sure I snapped it up.  I bought mine from Ecodermis & Wolfberry in Brooklyn (right off Eastern Parkway) and I got the last one!!

INGLOT adds more mattes for me to buy!

INGLOT Cosmetics has extended their matte eye shadow offerings! Truth be told, I have very few mattes in my collection, so I am super excited to see what the texture is like.  The colours look amaze!! Everytime I go to a trade show with the intention of getting some INGLOT products, the chaos at the booth makes it almost impossible.  I love me some shimmer products, but mattes are a great way to turn up the drama by using a different texture.  I need to check out their greys and some of their corals and teals for summer. And with the new 40-pan Freedom palettes, this would be great to have!

INGLOT Cosmetics is excited to announce the launch of the new extended matte eyeshadow collection.  This highly pigmented eyeshadow is now available in 71 matte shades and can be applied individually or mixed with other colours to create an infinite number of eye-catching hues!

This extensive range of shadows was designed to provide a more comprehensive shade range for all consumers and professional makeup artists.  The line contains a vast assortment of vibrant colors from pinks, blues, and greens, to softer shades of nudes and vanilla to help women everywhere find the shade that suits them best.  After selecting your perfect matte eyeshadows, create a customized Freedom System palette full of colours personalized to your very own taste.
