Review: NYX Mega shine lip gloss

Hey girls , i hope you all are enjoying summer , today i am going to review Nyx mega shine lip gloss. It is in shade Baby Rose. I got this as a gift from a dear friend of mine.

Packaging :


Nyx Mega shine lip gloss comes in a rectangular tube with bent sponge tip applicator.On the back side list of ingredients and other product information is given.

 It contains 15ml of the product in a tube. It has a bow design embossed on top of the cap which looks really cute

NYX cosmetics claims that : 

Kiss me quick! Our signature Mega Shine Lip Gloss delivers shine, moisture and softness and envelops lips with glistening color. The finish is both creamy and steamy and ensures knockout glamour. A blend of mineral and lanolin oils helps protect the pout. Available in 64 almost sinful lip gloss shades.

My thoughts :


i own Nyx mega shine lip gloss in baby rose shade, which is a very sheer pink color which have fine shimmer of gold and pink in it. I usually wear it on its own to add some sparkle and shine to my lips , otherwise on top of any other lipstick to add glamour. It is non sticky and has a mild scent similar to candy or lollipop.The thing which i do not like about this lip gloss that you have to re apply it every hour, the staying power is not so good. I like its applicator alot . It is a bent sponge tip applicator which helps in precise application of lip gloss.

 Here is a swatch of Nyx mega shine lip gloss in baby rose on my lips :

Jumping towards pros and cons :

Pros :

• Good applicator
• mild scent 
• non sticky
• affordable price
• decent packaging

Cons : 

• does not last longer
• have to re apply after one or two hours

Price & Availability :

I got this lip gloss as a gift but it is available internationally at any drugstore for 5.50 dollars. If you live in Pakistan , then you can buy this from International Makeup in Pakistan .

Do you own this lip gloss ? what do you think about it ? Share your thoughts and views with me ..

Best Beauty buys under Rs.100

Hey girls , yesterday i was re arranging my make up stuff , and there i got an idea of this post. I have so many things that are good and budget friendly too, why should not i share these with my readers ??? I know that many of Pakistani girls still cannot afford to buy expensive products . I dedicate this post to my Pakistani girls out there :)
 i have selected some products for you  i like them most and you can buy them without any hassle. Prices are all under Rs. 100. And you can find them easily at any cosmetic store nearby. Have a look :

1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARe - Rs. 75
2. Aqua Nail color in 775 - Rs. 75 ( Read review )
3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry flavor - Rs. 95
4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color - Rs. 99 ( Read review )

6. Christine Glitter eye pencil in emarald green - Rs. 55
7. Davis glitter pencil in green - Rs. 90
8. Becute Lipstick - Rs. 95
9. Femina Lip Pencil - Rs. 60

Now take a closer  look at these :

1. Acne care oil control face wash with neem extracts by SKIN CARE :

 I bought this facewash when i was on a trip and realized that i forgot to put any facewash in my bag . I bought it as i am familiar with its brand Skin care . I used it for few days and i think it is a great substitute for soap . So girls stop using soap to wash your face and try this economical facewash . It has neem extracts and gives a very fresh feeling after washing. Keeps you under control , but i am in doubt of its acne care part , as i did not use it that much anyhow I like this !!

 what i do not like :  there is no ingredients list on it. They should include the ingredients list.

2. Aqua Nail Color in 775 :

I have done a NOTD post with this nail color earlier , you can read that here. In short, its packaging is cute, color intensity is great, just one coat needed and it goes opaque. No chipping for three days . The color itself is best for the summers. It is my most favorite nail color this summer. I bought mine from Millenium mall, Karachi

3. Enchant Lip Gloss Balm in Cherry Flavor. 

I bought this lip balm in winter season . It sooths your lips and keeps them moisturzed with a sweet flavor of cherry. its very sheer , just gives a hint of pink color on your lips . Smells delicious but the smell does not stays longer.  I use it before applying liquid lipsticks which can cause dryness on lips. It was available in Mango , Strawberry and other flavors too.

4. Sweet touch sparkling nail color :

I love glittery sparrkling nail colors , they looks really festive on nails . Sweet touch cosmetics has a very good quality sparkling nail colors . I have reviewed one in my earlier NOTD post . You can check it out here . They are easy to apply , needs three coats to achieve the opaque look. and does not chips off for three days.
What i donot like : hard to remove just like any other glittery nail colors.

6. Marlin Nail Colors :

i applied two coats here

Marlin cosmetics is a relatively new brand in Pakistan , I have tried two of their nail colors and lipsticks . I like their nail colors . They offers great shades, from pinks to corals , and from reds to blues. Each shade has a number specified to it. The consistency is quit thin , normally i apply three coats of it . The formula is not long wearing on nails so it starts chipping after on or two days.


6. Christine Glitter Eyepencil :

Christine cosmetics offers some very good quality products to its costumers. I have its glitter pencil in green emarald color . And its super creamy , easily glides on eyes and stays put on. It has glitters in it , that is why it looks really glamorous . Available in various colors . I am in love with this pencil. It really makes my brown eyes looks interesting . I also use it sometimes on my waterline just to gives a hint of green and it also stay there .

7. Davis Glitter Eyeshadow Pencils :

These Davis glitter pencils are easily available in the market, These are jumbo size pencils which have glitters in it . They are available in vareity of colors. Use it as a eyeshadow or use it just as an eyeliner , it looks good on eyes. I do not like the amount of glitter present in these pencils . The glitter is hard to remove from the eyes even after washing with soap or any makeup remover.

8. Becute Lipsticks :

Becute cosmetics is very popular brand among Pakistani girls , It offers some great lippies .Their lippies are available for Rs. 95 at Chase departmental store, Karachi. I have few of them , they are creamy in texture, longlasting and have some gorgeous shades. What i do not like about these lipsticks is their smells . It smells like some bees wax or something like plastics .

9. Femina Lip Pencil :

Femina lip pencils are easy to apply and have some gorgeous shades to choose from. THey are creamy and longlasting too.I like them alot , Unfortunately i forgot to take its solo picture , i will upload it later, you can see it in my first pic ( in the most left corner )
