NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils & Swatches...another Vegas trip!

Sorry for the lack of posts, this was probably the longest I haven't posted. The BF and I went on an unexpected trip again to Vegas (spur of the moment from the BF!), and there was no internet connection. :(

My current obsessions are the NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils (think lipstick in a lip pencil form), and the Sally Hansen Line Smoothing Airbrush Makeup Spray (which I will do a review on soon). The NYX Jumbo Lip Pencils are pigmented and creamy, and Cherry Culture has them in a lot of other colors. I also find them easier to apply than lipsticks in the sense that it's like a lip liner too, so you can just trace your lips and fill them in.

My favorites are: Iced Coffee and Soft Fuchsia.







I got my free "Birthday Gift" from Sephora which is like a shimmery bubble bath...


I LOVE the Wheel of Fortune game! I won again on that slot machine! I must say it's probably my overall favorite game there!




BF loves the BUFFET!




Here's another look I did using "Black Ore" and NYX Ultra Pearl Mania Pigment in "Minx":

    Crabs!!! I'm kind of allergic to them , my mouth ends up itchy when I have too much, but I love em!

    You're one lucky gal! Is there a secret or just pure luck? Anyway, I love this look, just as much as the other smoky one with the port red l/s.

    I love Soft Fuchsia on you! It's such a pretty colour, I have it but I'm not used to wearing that much colour on my lips so I'm having to break myself in gently :) And lucky you on the winning!!!

    i think that nyx may have discontinued the soft fuschia jumbo lip pencil. it's sad, because it was the prettiest color out of all of them.

    LOL I was just reading Anne's blog, and was wondering why the guy in her photo looked like your boyfriend! Hehe, random.

    Anyway, how are the staying powder of these things? Do they feel like lipstick on?

    Hey Nessa!
    I just got that bday gift from Sephora too. When's your bday? Mine's May 30 :) BTW where can I get that Sally Hansen spray? Drugstore? Online? My one friend seemed to like it but couldn't remember where she got it. Thanks!

    Oh I have been wondering about NYX jumbo pencils for awhile. How long do they last? Do they bleed?
    Congrats on your winnings! I wish I had the guts to gamble. The first time I went to vegas I won 25 bucks from the penny slots and I quit because I didn't want to lose anymore money. LOL.
