BEAUTY BAR: Add NYX for Kicks

This spring do not let pinks, reds and/or nudes define your color palette. No matter what your skin tone is either, try out something new. NYX has a fabulous selection of cosmetics and surprisingly has been around since 1999. The products range in price from $6.00 to $7.00, and they even have bundles of three different lip products together for as low as $12.00! If that isn’t perfect for a college budget item then I don’t know what else is. Also, if you are wondering how to pronounce these three letters, they are not separate N.Y.X., but instead it should be pronounced as “Niks.” Now this Fashionista is rocking NYX in a bold blue lip color. You can chose from bold, medium or sheer coverage. I love this new trend of bold lips, especially since a lot of people have not had the confidence to try it out yet!

Even with 22 credit hours, this Fashionista is pulling it together each morning. Although her make up is very simplistic, she adds some spunk to the rest of her outfit. Ripped boyfriend fit jeans, a flannel and some adidas sneakers are all a girl needs in her closet. I’m sure you already have these items, now it’s time to piece them together. No time to shower or know it’s going to be one of those never ending days from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. of studying? Throw on a beanie! The beanie featured is from Carharrt. These are fab because they are under $10.00 and come in an array of colors. Not feeling the beanie? A simple piece of ribbon as a choker could also complete the look if you are needing a last minute accessory.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To get this Fashionista’s look, the previously mentioned bold blue lip color is Moscow Navy Blue. There are other great colors such as Blue Grey, Purple Grey, and Morocco which is a matte coral orange color. Afraid to use bold colors because you have smaller lips? Do not fear, lip liner is here! A great lip liner can be found from MAC and or Urban Decay. This Fashionista recommends spending a little more on the liner because it stops it from smudging or coming off throughout the wear and tear of multiple coffees throughout the day. To stay moisturized before matte lipstick make sure to ad some chapstick to prevent your lips from appearing like they have cracked lines! Palmers FlipBalm is fabulous and fun to flip, with an assortment of fruity flavors.
