We need to talk about... NYX

So I've had this idea for a while and I'm going to start a series called 'We need to talk about...' and its going to be about whatever I am LOVING lately! So to start it off in a wonderful way I'm be chatting about the latest products I've brought from my latest favourite brand NYX!

So for years us in the UK have been lusting over NYX and now finally its easily accessible both online and in everyone's favourite drugstore Boots! 

I recently brought some products online and then my local Boots store got a beautiful refit and got a NYX stand so naturally I had to get products from there as well because well I have a problem buying make up.

I am in love with warm toned palettes so when i saw the Perfect Filter palette in Rustic Antique I just HAD to have it. It is so pigmented, so blendable and so versatile for all sorts of looks! The shimmer colours work amazingly with a wet brush aswell! It is going to be one of my most used palettes especially in Autumn!

As with warm toned natural eyeshadows I have such a thing for blue and green shadows so naturally I got one of the Hot singles eyeshadow in Poolside and it legit is the colour of the pool when you go on holiday! I do find I really need to pack the colour on with a flat brush but once I've done that it is BEAUTIFUL! I put it with the Rustic Antique for a night out and it looked wonderful.

So when I ordered this I actually thought it was a glitter because clearly I didn't read the description but I still love it so much! Its the NYX Pigment in Peacock. I have quite a few pigments and can honestly say this is one of the best ones! It's almost creamy in texture and the colour pay off is just beautiful! It quite literally is the colour of a peacock.

Finally my favourite latest product! I have been after a proper red (not pink, not a pinky red, a proper Red) face and body glitter for YEARS! NYX Red Glitter is a proper deep blood red and it's beyond beautiful. It's finely milled so there is a slight fallout but it's nothing that can't be swept away. It is so easy to work with and the NYX Glitter glue is just perfect for it! I have SO many idea's for this glitter especially during Halloween and Chrismas!

NYX is a wonderfully affordable brand and has a lot of dupes for many more expensive products. Their campaigns for new products are stunning and use beautiful and wonderful diverse models.They can be sure that they'll be getting a lot of my hard earned cash!

Here's some swatches of Rustic Antique, Poolside and Peacock!

An Introduction to Phili Sparkle!

Hi guys! As you can probably work out I'm Phili! I'm a 25 year old Make Up obsessed English lass living in Scotland! I live with my husband and our fur baby Pumpkin the demon cat.
I've been obsessed with Make Up since I was about 15 years old and even went to a Media Make Up school for 2 years, but its only been kind of the past year or two that I've properly got into it and that's where my collection has grown from basics that could fit into a make up bag into my husband getting so fed up of it being everywhere that he brought me a dressing table to put it all in and admittedly that's now pretty much bursting.

When I'm not playing with Make Up, I'm working in retail, exploring Fife, getting through my massive pile of books, watching TV Shows like Game of Thrones (who isn't though), Outlander and Ru Paul's Drag Race. Or torturing myself by adding products to my Cult Beauty or BeautyBay wishlist!

This is going to be my wee corner of the internet which is going to be full of things I love, products I find, tips that i live by and anything else I discover in the future and I'm so excited to go on this journey!

Thank you for reading and hope you come back for more! In the meantime pop on over to my Twitter or IG and say Hi!
