I was recently turned on to Cherry Culture by YouTube makeup artist xteeener. They carry one of my new favorite cosmetics brands, NYX.
For those of you not familiar with NYX, this is some really great stuff! The brand has developed a sort of cult following among many makeup fanatics, many of whom rank these products higher than many luxury boutique or department store brands. Here are a few of my own favorites:
- Round Lipstick - Smooth and highly pigmented. Doesn't dry out your lips. Has a scent/taste that I can only describe as "Asian scented pen" (a mix between fruity and floral; people who shop at Sanrio and other Asian stationery stores know what I'm talking about), but I don't find it too offensive.
- All eyeshadow - Very soft and smooth texture. Blends SO easily. Great color payoff.
- Powder Blush - Again: soft, smooth, blends easily, and great color payoff.
The only thing that I can see people having a problem with is the fact that, while NYX is an American company, their products are made in China (they try to be fancy by using "P.R.O.C." instead). I, personally, don't find a problem with it. I have extremely sensitive skin, and I haven't noticed it giving me any weird reactions (unlike MAC, by the way, but that's an entirely different post). BUT there has been some major concern regarding products made in China within the last year, so I can understand people wanting to steer clear of it.
Anyway, if you're brave and want to give your support to inexpensive, good quality makeup, then take this opportunity to try NYX out.
