Spring is here! Although it doesn’t feel like it. We’re still being hit with winter weather here, but that won’t stop me from switching to spring colors.

For this spring, I wanted to focus on light creamy shades.

1. Zoya Heather – a creamy pale lilac shade.

2. Zoya Lianne – a creamy tangerine with gold flecks. Gotta sport the color of 2012 right?

3. Zoya Melanie – a creamy baby pink shade.

4. Zoya Shay – a creamy  nude.

What colors will you be wearing this spring?

Attention all YouTubers! NYX has a contest for you!

NYX Cosmetics is proud to present the Fine Artistry of Cosmetic Elites (FACE) Awards. Over the years, we have seen the beauty vlogger community grow into one of the most robust, energetic communities on Youtube and across the web. We wanted to create an event that gives back to this community and rewards them for their passion and creativity. The FACE Awards allows us to shed a spotlight on the up and coming beauty vloggers, and unite the community behind a single annual event.

Beyond the $25,000 cash prize for the winner, we’re hoping to help launch a promising career in the beauty industry. That includes access to influential insiders, consultations with top industry experts, and national publicity. Most importantly, we’re relying on the beauty community to select their 6 favorite beauty gurus to compete for the top prize. The 5 runners up will each receive a year’s supply of NYX Cosmetics for reaching the finals, but there can only be one National Beauty Vlogger of the Year.

Barry M Lip Gloss ($8.95)

I really love how the Barry M Lip Gloss feels. It isn’t sticky or goopey. Also, the gloss glides on so smoothly. The gloss is fairly pigmented and will look great on bare lips or over another lip color. Like most lip glosses, it doesn’t last super long. I had to reapply after a couple of hours.

Barry M Dazzle Dust ($8.95)

Barry M Dazzle Dust is a finely milled shimmery eyeshadow. It feels so silky smooth and applies like a dream. The lasting power of the Dazzle Dust was amazing too. It lasted all day with the help of an eyeshadow primer. You don’t need a lot for the color to show up. A little does a long way. I can see this little jar lasting for a long time.

Barry M Instant Nail Effects ($5.95)

The Barry M Instant Nail Effects is a really good nail polish. The color that appears in the bottle is the same color that will appear on your nail. The polish goes on creamy and smooth, and two coats is enough to get the same color in the bottle. I just wish the bottle wasn’t so small.
