DIY - Neon earrings

These earrings have been lying in my closet for the last 8 years broken. Every timeIi used to think ill get them repaired but my laziness got them to stay untouched. Finally they get a chance to be part of my DIY neon jewellery. :D

1. You can start off by taking any old rhinestone necklace or earrings.

2. Remove the parts you do not want. In this case the round part of the earrings are broken. So I remove the round part from both the earrings. I like it much better now as they are lighter than before and can be worn with a regular outfit as well.
Next take out your brightest nail varnishes (colors you would like your earrings in). We are going to start painting the rhinestones with the nail varnishes. The best part about using these is that if you mess up or don't like the color/outcome, then you can easily remove the varnish with a nail paint remover :)

3. So I start by painting with the bright neon pink color. The technique to paint small rhinestone is to put a drop in the center of the stone and then move it outwards.

4. Once you get the hang of it, it gets very easy to complete the whole thing. Let the varnish dry.

So here you have your own piece of neon jewellery :)

Review - NYX Soft Matte Lip cream

What do you call a lip product which is neither a lipstick nor a lipgloss. 

What do you call a lip product which is like a lipstick as well as a lip gloss.

NYX has a product which fits into both the above situation. Its called a Matte Lip cream.

Price - $6 each

There are total 11 colors available in Lip creams - Amsterdam, Stockholm, Tokyo, London, Antwerp, Istanbul, Adis ababa, San Paolo, Abu Dhabi, Monte Carlo and Milan

I bought 2 colors to try - namely Antwerp and San Paolo

About the Lip cream:

The formulation of these lip creams are totally different from any product you will find in the market. The moment you apply this you will realize its like melted butter or cream. The pigmentation is great unlike any gloss you can get. In 10 minutes the lip cream sets on your lips in a matte texture and stays put for around 4-5 hours.

Pros:

1. It is quite pigmented.

2. Apt for matte lipstick lovers

3. Does not get transferred easily.

4. It is very light in texture. Doesn't feel as if you wearing anything on your lips

5. Good choice of colors ranging from nudes to bright

6. Affordable price.

Cons:

1. It is not at all moisturizing and can make your lips dry. Best to use a lip balm before using it

2. It doesn't fade out evenly. Leaves a line of dried out product on the inside of the lips.

3. Takes around 10 minutes to set in a matte form.

4. Availability in India might be an issue. I buy my NYX products from ebay from the following seller JOY COSMETICS

I have a love and hate relationship with this product. I love the colors and the fact that it is so light on my lips like butter. But I hate the fact that it makes my lips super dry. I am not a fan of super matte texture that it sets into. I prefer a semi matte texture which doesn't make my lips dry.

Still I am planning to buy the two bright colors in this adis ababa and Monte Carlo.

Recently NYX has come up with similar lip cream but in a glossy form. It is known as Extreme lip cream. I haven't tried these as yet but from the reviews and swatches I don't think I will. I like matte lip cream colors better.
