When CherryCulture had the 40% Nyx sale last month I wasn't actually going to buy anything from it, but I was watching a haul video from Shaaanxo on YouTube late at night and then I had to go have a look at the sale, the timing was too good. I bought some things I have been wanting to try for ages and also a couple of things that stood out to me so I was excited to finally get my parcel! I knew it wouldn't be long when Laurenbeautyy posted about hers :P
Caviar & Bubbles palette- I have only tried a couple of single eyeshadows from Nyx before so this was my first palette, it has gorgeous wearable neutral colours and reminds me of the Naked 2 palette without the glitter, which makes me sort of regret getting this palette.
Blush in Angel- I have a couple of blushes & love them & I have wanted Angel for ages, it is a light peachy pink colour perfect for adding an extra glow to the skin so it is shimmery without being glittery.
Wonder Pencil in Light- This is meant to be a multi-purpose product as an eye brightener for the waterline or underneath the eyebrow, as a lip liner or even as a concealer. I've been wanting a nude eyeliner anyway & wanted to see how it would go for everything else.
As If concealer stick in Lilac- I've ran out of my one from my concealer palette and I wanted one for travel so I thought I've give this one a go and so far I like it.
Matte Lipstick in Angel- I didn't even think about this in the same name as the blush haha but I haven't tried any of the matte lipsticks but so far I haven't found it drying but it doesn't seem to last too long and the bullet is quite loose in the tube so it feels like it's falling down as I'm applying it. It is a pinky-red colour that can come of as a coral.
Lipgloss in Beige- This is a colour I've been interested for ages especially after hearing about it more & more in the YouTube world and it is a gorgeous light pink colour that goes with basically anything. I think I will be taking this with me!
Xtreme Lip Cream in Pinky Nude- Firstly I wouldn't call it a nude as it is quite a dark pink and I've only tried this out once but the formula feels good for my first Xtreme Lip Cream but I wish I chose a different colour because it is similar to
Angel (on the lips anyway)
. Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel- I had put this elsewhere to my other products when I was taking these pics and then remembered it after so I had to add it in separately and it is obviously not to scale haha.. I haven't tried this properly yet but it is a gorgeous light peachy colour with a sheer-medium coverage and is non-sticky.

So that's all I bought from the sale, I thought it was a good amount and I was glad I didn't go too overboard, I think it ended up being around $40 with shipping so I felt it was good for 8 items.
Let me know Did you order from the Nyx sale? Have you tried any of these products before?

Oh and I have been pretty good with cutting down my spending, I had only had a couple of other things arrive and that's it until I need to buy the essentials just before I go away!!
