Overall, I really like NYX products because they are affordable with a large selection of colors. I think the quality of their products are also great. Since I do not use makeup on a daily basis, I probably don't need to repurchase, but I definitely would consider repurchasing these products if needed. I definitely recommend others to give these products a try!
Are there other NYX lipstick/gloss colors that you've tried that you would recommend? I'm also considering purchasing Bare Escentuals mineral powders (foundation/concealer). Just wanted to see if any of you have tried their products. I also have sensitive/combination oily skin and do experience breakouts...any recommendations/advice would be appreciated ^^!
Note: Products were purchased with my own money and the reviews are 100% my own.
