Top 15 NYX Products Available in India, Prices

By Sanchita

Hello everyone. It’s been a long time I did a top10/12/15 post for a particular brand and this time I am going to do a top 15 for NYX. As we all know that NYX has been officially launched in India and they had a grand opening of  their first store at Shoppers Stop in Bandra, recently in Mumbai. Also, the products are available online on Nykaa and majority of the time, the products are sold off. This is because the brand is immensely popular and the products are worth stealing! In fact, they also have dupes of many high end brands.

Since it is officially available in India so it is the best time to give you all a compilation of the best products. Initially I thought of doing only 10 but I figured out it is literally impossible and thus I ended up with top 15 products. Read on to know more about them.

1. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream – 600 INR

This is one of the best sellers of NYX and every shade is a matte lover’s dream lip color. As the name suggests, it is a lip cream with doe footed applicator that dries off flat matte without stretching the lips or making you feel uncomfortable. These lip creams have a velvet smooth touch and has a sweet vanilla kind of fragrance. The pigmentation is top notch and lasts long on the lips. You can also layer a gloss or lip balm underneath to make it more hydrating.

2. NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick – 850 INR

Matte lipsticks are a rage right now and every brand is coming up with something. Apart from the Soft Matte Lip Cream, they have the Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick as well. The texture is slightly richer than that of the previous one and the pigmentation is commendable with single swipe as they don’t apply patchy at all. This waterproof product is infused with avocado oil and Vitamin E and thus doesn’t accentuate on fine lines. There some quirky colors like bright purple, black, dark navy colors are there in the collection. They look opaque and dries to matte. Also, the colors are waterproof and long lasting on lips.

3. NYX Intense Butter Gloss – 575 INR

Not everyone loves matte and so NYX has the Intense Butter Gloss which shall be the dream of gloss lovers. The packaging is similar to the Soft Matte Lip Cream. The texture of the product is something between gloss and liquid lipstick and it glides on the lips easily and gives an even finish. The pigmentation ranges from medium to full and it is great when layered on top of a lip liner. It gives a gorgeous shine to the lips and hydrates it for long. The only con is that it transfer, just like any other gloss lip color.

4. NYX Slim Lip Pencil (450 INR) and NYX Slide-On Lip Pencils – 800 INR

NYX has two lip pencils – the slim ones and the Slide-On. The Slim Lip Pencil are insanely famous for the color collection and affordable quality. It glides on the lips like a dream and gives a nice base for lip colors. The Slide-On Lip Pencils are much richer in texture and extremely long lasting on the lips. The pigmentation is also great and helps the lip colors to pop up easily. The colors are slightly restricted in India and I hope they launch all the colors soon.

5. NYX Wonder Pencil – 600 INR

As the name suggests, it is surely a wonder one. The pencil is versatile and can be used in various ways. It is sharpenable and has a smooth texture. You can apply on the water line to make the eyes look bright or to apply in the inner corners and brow bone, use the pencil around the lips to prevent the lip color from bleeding and also to make the lips look fuller. The pencil can also be used to hide minor imperfections on the skin and thus it is surely a must have product for every makeup lover. You can also use it as an eye shadow base as well.

6. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil – 550 INR

This is another bestseller from the house of NYX. Eyeshadow crayons are becoming a cult product day by day and we couldn’t be gladder when NYX launched this in India. These shadow crayons are soft and smooth in texture and thus glides on the eyes like a dream and also blends very easily. These can be used as eye shadow base or even as eye shadow as well. However, there are only few colors launched in India. The color black bean and milk are the must-have ones in the collection.

7. NYX Tinted Brow Mascara – 600 INR

Brow pencils and brow pomade are fine but what happens when you hardly have the time to shape the brows? You need a brow mascara to swipe over the brow to give a naturally fuller look and also less time consuming. This is available in 4 shades and will definitely suit the Indian skin tones. It is nicely pigmented and fills the gaps well and also tames the brow hair as well. The wand is an excellent one and this is another must have product from the collection. I have been using it for some time and I absolutely love the application.

8. NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette – 1725 INR

An eye shadow palette is a must have product and it feels so good to have all the colors inside a single palette which would save a lot of time and money for us. The Ultimate Shadow Palette comes in 16 shades and has been introduced in 3 variants for your choice. From neutral to smoky and vivid bright color – it has everything to look for. The texture is velvety-rich, nicely pigmented and the finishes is from mattes and satins to shimmers and metallic. Overall, you would love the palette if you are an eye makeup lover.

9. NYX Micro Brow Pencil – 875 INR

This little beauty is the dupe of the much raved Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz. This one has spoolie on one end and the brow pencil on the other end. It can draw the thinnest possible lines and will give you a very precise application. It coats even the finest hairs with color for a natural-looking finish and works great. The shades are good and will suit the Indian skin tones well. The texture is neither too creamy nor pigmented to make you look crazy or very light – but has the right formula. It glides easily and stays long well. The only con is that it is slightly pricey.

10. NYX Vivid Brights Eyeliner – 700 INR

Graphic eyeliners are becoming a statement and what can be better than a vivid bright eyeliner? We are surely done with black and brown for the time being and it’s time to try out the quirky bright eyeliner from NYX. It comes in a slender packaging with only 3 colors that are launched in India for now. The texture is nice and applies evenly with the precise applicator brush. The pigmentation is great, the finish is matte and it also dries down quickly. It is also water proof and extremely long lasting.

11. NYX Slide On Eye Pencil – 825 INR

The NYX Slide On Eye Pencil has a sharpenable body with soft and creamy texture that glides on the eyes like a dream, without tugging and pulling. The formula is great to work with and doesn’t smear or smudge and delivers powerful, saturated color. The finish is satin-matte and also very long lasting on the eyes. It will not irritate the eyes and also remain water proof and smudge proof.

12. NYX Conceal, Correct, Contour Palette – 1325 INR

The NYX Conceal, Correct, Contour Palette is the ultimate one to make you base makeup on point. It is available in various shades and a close dupe of MAC Pro Conceal and Correct Palette. It has 6 shades each in a palette and the palettes ranges from light to deep with a colored corrector one as well. They are light weight and creamy and blends on the skin easily. You can use it in a number of ways and does not cake up on the skin at all. The price is also very economical for 6shades.

13. NYX Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator – 850 INR

The Born To Glow Liquid Illuminator is another amazing product from NYX and it gives such a radiant touch to the skin. it is available in 4 shades and has a tube packaging. The formula is light weight, almost like gel cream and glides and blends with fingers as well. They do not accentuates to dry skin and provides a detailed illuminate look for every occasion. It also acts as a primer and lasts long on the skin without feeling greasy at all. It is a nice dupe for many strobe creams in the market.

14. NYX HD Finishing Powder – 825 INR

A translucent finishing powder can transform your whole look and NYX HD Finishing Powder is the perfect dupe. The formula is fine milled and it helps to soften the appearance of fine lines and pores. The silky powder gives a light weight feel and it is great for baking the concealer as well. It doesn’t leave behind whitish cast and an excellent one for photographs. It sets the makeup very well and never accentuates the fine lines. Also, the little jar will last you a long time.

15. NYX Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray Matte Finish – 825 INR

A finishing spray ensures that your makeup will last the whole day and just won’t melt down. It forms a protective film on the makeup, great for oily skin and sets the makeup to matte without being cakey or dry at all. it is a great product for waterproof or mineral based makeup on skin and the effect lasts for about 6-7 hours easily.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme Transylvania Review, Swatches

By Sahiba

Today I will be reviewing NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CRÈME in TRANSYLVANIA shade. To begin with as the name suggests, it’s a lip cream which is matte in nature and that is what makes it my pick for reviewing this.

TRANSYLAVANIA is a dark berry shade, not exactly purple or mauve but a mix of both and hence a dark berry/plum shade. The shade is more suitable for Fall Season. For girls like me who believe that dark lipsticks and darker shades add mystery to your personality and level up your game, this shade is definitely worth trying. One stroke for perfect berry Lips. You can apply twice for a darker shade and finish.

It has a smooth texture and hence has been aptly named and that smoothness doesn’t really give you the feel of tightening or cracking on lips though it being a matte finish product. The Brand claims it to be Matte finish lipstick lasting for a good amount of time with just one time application and as per my experience it does hold true.

The Nyx soft matte lip crème in Transylvania shade would be my pick for an ideal wedding night, paired with golden traditional wear It would add a lot of oomph to your attire and compliment and complete the look.

The brand has a wide variety of shades to offer amongst a variety of Pinks, reds and nudes and all are worth the try.

Product Details: It is a lip crème which is smooth in texture and matte in finish, the shade reviewed by me is Nyx Soft Matte Lip Crème (TRANSYLVANIA)

Price: 1000 for 8ML

Where to Buy From

  • Buy online from Amazon.in
  • Sephora
  • Any good cosmetic shop dealing with branded products.

How to Use: The product comes in a sleek and compact long container and you have to twist open the cap. The brush is of a good length and quality and it gives a perfect finish with just one stroke which is clean and simple to apply. Its application is similar to any lip gloss that you generally use. And it’s easy to carry. Trust me it will not take much space in you sling bag!

My Experience with NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CRÈME:

It has been an absolutely wonderful experience using NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CRÈME (TRANSYLVANIA) I have been using this product for almost 2 months now and it’s still going strong. Never fails to impress me. It compliments fair skin tone. The colour stays in its place for a fairly good amount of time. It doesn’t make your lips feel dry and gives you a smooth and matte finish.

Positives Of The Product

  • Smooth texture
  • Matte Finish
  • Highly pigmented
  • Easy Application
  • Easy to carry
  • Good staying power

Negatives of The Product

  • Could have been priced a little lesser.

Top 12 Best & Affordable Eye Shadows in India

By Sanchita

Hello everyone! I am a complete eye shadow junkie. Palettes are my favorites and I swear by Rimmel and Sleek Makeup for eye shadows. Now-a-days eye makeup looks are the biggest ‘in’ thing and we love to add the dash of eye to brighten up the entire makeup look. The whole aura of any eye makeup look – be it a smoky and sultry or simple neutral eye makeup, you need some really good pigmented eye shadows. In my opinion, the Indian market really lacks budget friendly pigmented eye shadows. Be it palette or mono pans, whichever decent product is there, it is priced very high. There is another thing I noticed is that the shades are very repetitive and mattes are almost missing. Nevertheless, today I have compiled the top 12 eye shadows available in India (online and retail) which are pretty economical.

1. Rimmel London ScandalEyes Eyeshadow Stick – 415 INR

These are my favorite eye shadow sticks and I love the kind of colors they. From matte browns to beige and deep blues and greens – they have it all. It comes in a chubby fat sharpenable pencils. The texture is so smooth that it glides like a dream and blends very easily. Pigmentation is top notch and single swipe gives you the saturated color. It gives you enough time to smudge and set the color and then doesn’t budge at all. It is thoroughly water proof and smudge proof as well. The colors, when set properly, hardly creases (after 9-10hours) and can also be used a base for powder eye shadow. For the price, they are a steal. (P.S: Bronze is my Favourite!)

2. Makeup Revolution Single Eyeshadow – 295 INR (BUY HERE for 234)

Makeup Revolution has been one phenomenal budget friendly brand and has got popular among various bloggers. A lot of e-commerce sites have been stocking their mono eyeshadows and palettes and we love the variety they have. The mono eye shadows and pigments in particular are very convenient to use. They are richly pigmented, blends really well and doesn’t crease much on the lids. These are appropriate for creating various makeup looks and lasts longer on the lids without fading off.

3. NYX Single Eyeshadow – (300-400 INR)

They have a variety of matte, pearl, shimmers and duo chrome eye shadows to choose from. There are numerous colors and quite some popular ones as well. The packaging is sturdy and great for travelling. The texture is good and gives a nice color pay off. From shimmers to matte and neon, you will get every possible color. These are ideal for beginners and they perform wonderfully. You can also try the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils (Review HERE) which are equally raved among beauty bloggers. (P.S: Absolutely love ‘Yogurt’, works amazing to highlight inner corners and brow bone. The shade ‘Milk’ acts as a perfect eyeshadow base for lighter shadows)

4. Inglot Single Eye shadow single – 550 INR (They have raised the price to 550 INR, also they discontinued the round refills which were a bit cheaper. Now they only have square ones) (Some available on Nykaa & on MajorBrands HERE)

When Inglot was available online, I couldn’t be happier about it. The only reason was to shop eyeshadows. They have an amazing collection of eyeshadow pans and most of them are great dupes for MAC (MAC eyeshadows costs a bomb!). The Inglot Freedom System palette is also available which enables you to choose the perfect color combination palette you want in your life. They have pearl, shimmery as well as matte finish and more than 400 shades to choose from. The texture is wonderful to blend in and pigmentation is top notch. They hardly crease and stay put the whole day. You can also try their rainbow pans (consisting of three hues of a same color)

5. Coloressence Single Eye Shadow – 170 to 200 INR (BUY HERE)

Coloressence is quite a well-known brand in the market and they have some really good products. One of them is the mono eyeshadow collection which comes in a durable black casing. The numbers of colors in this range is slightly low comparatively but the quality is surely great to work with. They have pearly and satin matte collection and some of the very famous are the gold, burgundy, blue, black and brown. These are soft in texture and I found pigmentation is superb with one swipe.

6. Colorbar Emphaseyes Eyeshadows (Available in 27 shades and priced at Rs.550/-) and Emphaseyes Baked Eyeshadows (Available in 10 shades and priced at Rs.599/-)

Versatility of Colorbar is surely enthralling. All the finishes from matte to pearly to high shimmer available in both the ranges and hence you can create a lot eye makeup looks with these. With a proper blend of ingredients, the texture is satin smooth and a commendable pay off for your eyes. The baked eyeshadow can also be applied wet which gives an insane color pay off and rich effect to the eyes. The fall out issues are minimal and the long lasting formula makes these totally a winner.

7. Revlon Colorstay Shadow Links Eye Shadow- INR 195 (BUY HERE for 165) (Review & Swatches HERE)

If you are a beginner or want to create your own customized palette without bankrupting, this is the one for you. You can buy any desirable shade from the collection of 15 available shades and attached with one another to create the exact palette you want. The texture is smooth and really workable. Again some of them are super pigmented and nice, plus pretty economical. Definitely check out the shades Bhumika has swatched and the Copper and Gold shade is what she swears by!

8. L’Oréal Paris Infallible Mono Eyeshadows – INR 525 (Review & Swatches HERE and HERE)

With a small tub packaging, these mono eyeshadows from L’Oréal are incredibly good. It has the velvet powdery texture and soft and silky formula which glide on the lids like a dream. The pigmentation is very good and it gives a rich satin look to the eyelids. The staying power of 8-9hrs is truly praiseworthy and hardly creases even without primer. Most of the shades have metallic effect and the sheen is gorgeous for very occasion. This is one of the best quality eyeshadow available in India with such reasonable price tag. Bhumika has already reviewed the Endless Chocolate which is a stunning brown for warm skin tones. (P.S: Also love All Night Blue which is the most gorgeous blue eyeshadow in my stash)

9. MUA Makeup Academy Single Eyeshadow – 431 INR

MUA makes some really eyeshadows and be the palette or singles, each of them were great. The single eyeshadows, available in 34 amazing shades with a wide range of mattes and pearly touches, helps you creating a variety of looks for both day and night. The texture is extremely soft and super blendable and the color payoff is pretty impressive. The matte black (20) is greatly pigmented rich matte black for the smoky looks while the brown (19) can be used for neutrals and crease effect.

10. Freedom Makeup London Mono Eyeshadow – 350 INR

Very recently I bought few shades from their collection and I have to agree, they are great value for money. Comes in small round packaging, there are available in mattes, pearly (glided collection) and also certain base shades. The base shades are perfect for creating an even canvas or simple winged liner look. All the shades are well pigmented with soft textures, smooth and easy to apply for an everyday look.

11. Oriflame The One Cream Eyeshadow – 449 INR (Review & Swatches HERE)

Cream eye shadows are so beautiful and easy to work with that you won’t know until you use one! The Oriflame The One Cream Eyeshadows are available with a very reasonable price tag and definitely check out the swatches done by Bhumika. The color payoff is extremely rich, intense and creamy and the texture is so forgiving that anyone will find it easy to work with. Bhumika feels that these are just perfect to use when you are in a hurry, just blend, layer and set and you are good to go for the day.

12. Deborah Milano 24Ore Velvet Eye Shadow – 395 INR

Deborah Milano has some pretty beautiful shadows available in singles, duos and quad. Thse eyeshadows have a satin soft texture and gives a beautiful finish to the eye makeup looks. The pigmentation is worth talking about and when you use the eyeshadows in the wet form, you would notice the thrilling intensity of it. All the shades are so beautifully matches with the Indian skin tones is that, one wouldn’t be enough for you at all. It stays fairly long even without primer and dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.

Editor’s Note: I love this list, have quite a few from the above. Absolutely love the Oriflame Cream one and the L’Oreal Infallible Monos. I used to love the Maybelline Color Tattoo, sadly they are discontinued now but I still have and love the Bad to the Bronze and Pomegranate Punk.

Which is your favourite eyeshadow? From this list?

MRP: 4$ or Rs.400/-

These are now known as Lip Smacking Fun Colors..they come in 144 shades plus there are around 20 shades newly added !!

 

Tea Rose is one of the most famous colors in NYX..when I wanted to purchase it last time on Pork Daisy this shade was out of stock..so you can guess how much in demand this shade is..

Tea Rose is a light tea rose pink shade…not something which everyone can carry and every time..this shade has a tendency to wash out too paler and too dusky skin tones..but it will suit medium to fair complexions well..with the right overall makeup.

These are super duper creamy and last well compared to the creaminess..you can easily skip a lip balm with them..

These round lipsticks are now named Fun Smacking Lip Colors..

Pros:

1. Super creamy and moisturising.
2. Pigmented enough..just a swipe is enough when I do not want much color.
3. These are pretty economical at the price,quality and with the shades available.
4. Love the choice of shades I get with it..
5. Colors at the end to differentiate the shades if you have a few of these lipsticks.
6. Stays for 2-3 hours.

Cons:

1. Packaging is plastic..if these fall I think they would break easily.
2. These would melt in summers or in hot climate.
3. Availability in India is a issue.

Overall I super like it…and the shades I think which would be good on Indian skin tones are Heredes, Pumpkin Pie,Heather, Lala, Indian Pink, Haute Mellon, Peach bellini,Thalia, Blush,Frappucino,Femme,Fig,Margarita,Twist..OMG..there are soo many pretty shades to choose from !

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Does this even need an answer…I am surely eyeing a few shades 😉

Natural is a peachy nude pink..very close to Rose Petal that being more nude pinky..its a very pretty shade..gives that ‘pinched cheeks’ kinda look…its true to its name..and gives a nice natural flushed cheeks.

This is my first proper cream blush after Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush..and I am loving it..its nicely pigmented and very creamy..have buttery smooth texture.

T- Unblended B- Blended

How to apply: I use my fingers..but you can also use a stippling brush

Pros:

1. Nicely pigmented.
2. Very easy to use.
3. Stay on for 4-5 hours and more so topped with powder blush.
4. Give a dewy finish.
5. Travel friendly..can be carried and used anywhere anytime.
6. I like this particular shade for the fact that you cannot go overboard with it..it would never make you look like a clown.
7. Works as a nice base for powder blushes.

Cons:

1. You get a lot of quantity and it is to be used within 12 months of opening..and no one will ever be able to do that…so a lot of product would be wasted.
2. In hot and humid climate like summers of Mumbai..it hardly stays for 1-2 hours.
3. The plastic cap is not that good and it broke when it reached me and it just does not get fixed 🙁
4. A little expensive in India.
5. May not suit oily skin..it will give that shiny appearance unless skin is mattified properly.

Overall I quite love these..Some other shades I recommend after Natural are Glow, Boho Chic..and if you would like to experiment..go for Red Cheeks, Orange and Hot Pink

I have got the shades Milk, Yogurt and Rust..I did not get Black Bean as I already have enough of black eye pencils and gel liners for a base..

Milk is a plain pure milky white

Yogurt is a shimmery frosty champagne color with coppery light pink sheen

Rust is a metallic purply reddish brown with a hint of gold..a true RUST..difficult to describe this color..but its a very pretty and different color..though not an everyday color..works great with Indian wear 🙂

These are like quite famous..so everyone must be knowing about these..very creamy and super pigmented..one swipe and nice color without any tugging,pulling..

I love all the colors mostly..quick and easy way for a nice splash of color on eyes when in hurry..

Pros:

1. Super creamy and glide on smoothly.
2. Nice pigmentation.
3. Work as eye shadow base to make colors pop..for few hours :p
4. Lighter colors work great as highlighters and for inner corners.
5. The shade Yogurt works as an amazing highlighter for the cheekbones and cupid’s bow,inner corners and on the center of the lid.
6. I used Milk on waterline too and it did not sting or irritate eyes.
7. Pretty amazing and nice colors to choose from.
8. Would act as a base for pigments too.

Cons:

1. As these are JUMBO..I cannot use it as a liner..and even on the waterline they tend to come out a little on the lower lashes which kinda looks weird.
2. Sharpening them is a little tricky.
3. I said used as eye shadow base for few hours coz they crease 🙁 so you cannot skip a base completely.
4. The plastic cap is flimsy.
5. I wish they were available easily in India at the same cost 🙁

Overall these are quite nice as base or for a quick wash of color on the eyes when in hurry. And the most versatile of all the colors is Yogurt..!! That according to me is a must have as it works amazingly well as a highlighter..and as Mrunmayee discovered the color is a super close to MAC Cream Color Base in Hush..so a dupe !

I would recommend Yogurt the most..followed by  Milk and Black bean if you use eye shadows regularly. They work well as base for different color combos and for smokey eyes. Rust is quite a unique color and a dupe of MAC Fluidline in Rich Ground.Other colors I liked are Slate,Purple and Iced Mocha. Even Gold is pretty for Indian wear 🙂

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5 (0.5 less coz they crease and 0.5 less coz cannot be used as liner)
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3/5

Overall Rating: 3.25/5

Would I buy it again: Yes I may..as those pretty colors call me out and tempt me :p
