Little NYX Haul

A couple of weeks ago I entered a giveaway on the NYX Cosmetics Australia Facebook page on a whim, not expecting anything to come of it. The next day I got a message from the page saying that I was one of the lucky winners and that I could expect my prize-pack in the mail soon. Last week I received the pack and I was so happy. I had a massive essay due in at uni that I had just finished that day, so the pack was the absolute best reward. 

How cute is this little bag it came in? I love the black and white colour scheme, so sleek and pretty. Inside there was some black tissue paper and, of course, products! The sum total of the products in the bag would be around AUD$55 which is pretty amazing considering I didn't have to do anything remotely challenging to win.

Here are the products I received:

• Glam Shadow Stick in Dazzling Quartz (Target Price: $9.95)
• Za Za Zu Mascara ($14.95)
• Butter Gloss in Peaches and Cream ($9.95)
• Glam Shadow in Soprano (I estimate that this would be around AUD$9)
• Powder Blush in Dusty Rose ($9.95)

 L to R: Butter Gloss, Glam Shadow Stick, Powder Blush, Glam Shadow

I was really pleased with this selection of products. Sadly I already owned the butter gloss, but it's such a pretty colour, I shouldn't have any trouble passing it on to one of my friends. Aside from that though, I haven't tried any of these specific colours, so it was great to be able to try things I might not have otherwise. I adore this blush, it's the exact sort of colour I usually go for, I hadn't seen this one in Target so I'm super happy to have been able to get my hands on it. I've never seen these Glam Shadow pots before, in fact I've never tried a NYX powder eyeshadow. This one is very glittery, presumably because it is 'glam' and I'm afraid that in turn, the shadow is quite chalky, however it it still reasonably pigmented and on top of a primer I'm sure it would do well. 

All in all I'm super happy with all this stuff. It was so nice of NYX Australia to send it to me, so I'd like to say a massive thank you to them. Just a little disclaimer, they didn't ask me to talk about these things, they didn't even know about this blog when they sent them. As such, all the opinions expressed are my own, you know the whole spiel.
