My First Ebay Purchase- Nyx

I have always bought my makeup, skincare and haircare products after going through a bunch of online reviews. 

I have never seen Nyx brand anywhere in Delhi. It was only when I came to Mumbai that I found a Nyx (a U.S. cosmetic brand) stall at Hypercity. Most of its products are good but their cream blushes are my  favourite.  To my dismay, I found that most of their products are not available in India.  However last month while going through one of the blogs, I found a link to an ebay seller who ships nyx products to India. I was surprised to see the price in US dollars. Apparently it is sold at a higher price in India than in the U.S.  I couldn't resist so I eventually placed an order and it cost me much lesser  (shipping included) than if I had bought it from Hypercity.  The sellers name on ebay is Joy and she has all the Nyx products and every shade available. I ordered my stuff on the 3rd of Feb and I recieved the Package on the 17 of Feb. So if you place your order from India, it should take about two weeks to reach you from Calif., US.

I loved the way Joy had packed the products. They were wrapped in a bubble packing with her store logo sticker on each pack. Her store logo is a very cute cartoon character applying a lipstick. She sent me an Invoice with a sweet message at the end and also gave me 2$ discount on shipping.

I ordered for two cream blushes in Hot pink and Glow, two jumbo eye pencils which are like eyshadows in Pure Gold and Pots and Pans and one Jumbo lip pencil in Deep red.

These blushes are the best dupes for Mac cream blushes. The shade Glow is the closest match to Mac cream blush in Posey, though Glow is brighter in color than posey. Hot pink is a bright fushia pink /neon pink blush. This is the brightest color of pink i have ever seen in a blush. Though they look scary in pan because of the bright color but when applied properly it turns into a soft pink flush. You have to be very careful while applying specially with Hot pink and have to use a light hand otherwise one can end up looking like a clown :P

Jumbo Lip Pencil is not a lipliner but its a lipstick in a pencil form. It is very soft and creamy. I intend to gift this particular one to my mom as I am not too keen on experimenting with these shades. Nonetheless, I really like this product and I am considering ordering a lighter shade in it next time

The Jumbo eye pencil is a good option for someone like me who is not used to wearing eyeshadows. I am hardly an expert in applying and blending powder eye shadows. These are creamy eyeshadows which are easy to swipe. They are available in a wide range of colors. I ordered for a gold and a silver shade as these are the only two shades which I feel I will use.

Joy also sent me some loose glitters in Pink as a gift which I am not sure how to use. I have seen it on her ebay store in the products list. Anyway it was very thoughtful of her to add something extra to my package.
