NYX Lip Lacquer Pots

These lovely little pots come in 12 different shades. I've never been one for lip pots because I can't be bothered to use a lip brush to apply the color but I've spotted a few colors that I really want to try... so I'm going for the plunge & giving lip pots a try!

The 12 shades are:

Coral-licious
Caramel Fudge
London Hip
Georgia Peach
Simply Red
Ultra Violet
Sweet Pea
Night in Manhattan
Love in Paris
Rainbow
Coffee Run
Okie Dokie Artichokie

Onto the colors I am loving: Georgia Peach, Rainbow, Night in Manhattan & Coffee Run. For $6 it's hard to go wrong!

Because these come in pots you don't want to be using your fingers to apply the gloss (not very hygienic..) so I suggest purchasing a lip brush to use along with your new lippies.

Caramel Fudge

Everyday Minerals Cardamom Eyeshadow


On their website it is described as "the sands of the beach with pearl like effects.'' Such a lovely description and a gorge color. I can see this being used as a base or like I would wear it, alone!
