Sassy Endless Party Purple & Bonus NYX Lip Swatches!

Sunday, November 1, 2009
I got a few NYX round lipsticks from Shimmer Kisser's Blog Sale. I couldn't resist and they were so cheap! My Ulta sells them for $5 so I never want to buy them there and Cherry Culture's shipping is expensive. I hopped right on this! I chose Jupiter, Honey and Circe. In retrospect, Honey and Circe are pretty close color-wise, but the undertones are enough of a difference to notice.

Here are some swatches:

I love NYX lippies. They are so pigmented and moisturizing, at least the ones I've tried are!

Here's a look I did last week sometime. It was pretty basic, I was late for class, so there you go!
What I used:
-Sassy Minerals Eye Candy Liner in Endless Party- vibrant purple with blue and purple sparkle
-Sassy Minerals Eye Candy Shimmer in Merlin's Ball- soft silver with loads of silver sparkle
-Sassy Minerals Eye Candy Shimmer in Why Not- deep smoky graphite with red and silver twinkles
-Allure by Jen shadow in Iced Peach- delightful mixture of peach, pink, and shimmer
-Sally Hansen Eyeshadow Base (reviewing soon!)
-Exposed Organics Nectar Mixing Medium
-Jane Be Pure Mineral Blush in Rosy Glow- more peachy than rosy
-Gosh Velvet Touch lipstick in Darling- nude
Merlin's Ball on lid. Why Not in outer 1/3rd of lid and a bit into crease. Iced Peach in inner vee and browbone highlight (didn't want too much shimmer! this product keeps getting better and better!). Wetlined Endless Party with Nectar. This took total, with foundation and all that, about 5 minutes XD

I really really really love Endless Party! I'm a little bit obsessed with being able to see the different colors in shadows. So many companies get that wrong, but not Sassy! I love being able to see the teensy weensy blue glitters in this purple, it hads something special to it, I think. Otherwise, this look would be boring and I so do not do boring!

Not sure if I've said this before, but I'm actually on a "no-buy" on account of being broke as (not funny) joke. I did let myself buy those lippies, but 3 for $3.75? Couldn't resist that. That being said, I've been doing two things. One is making a spreadsheet of all of my colors, including samples and all that jazz, since I rarely even finish those! It's um embarrassing large...I'm trying to also keep track of which of those colors I've worn, since I want to "shop" my stash. I was thinking of making it a Google document, if you girlies are interested in me swatching or doing a look with anything! (I'm such a dork, I know.) Second is making my wishlist, which is over on the left side. I did a lot of that last night! Helps me keep track of what I want to buy and let go of "lemmings" I don't really want.

So, any tips on no-buys? Would you like to see my spreadsheet? Anyone else lurve NYX lipsticks?

Haha I've never been on a no-buy, I have NO self control. But you seem to have a loooot of patience what with all this spreadsheet business - I wouldn't know where to start with my collection!

Are you on a no-receive as well as a no-buy then? I don't know if you've read the email I sent you a little who ago but you should check it!

And yes, I LOVE Circe :D

I've been on no buys before, and its amazing how you can fall in love with your stash all over again! I read on another blog (can't remeber which one)...that they had a goal of using all their eyeshadows at least one time in the next year. I'm gonna try that, I have too many neglected ones. Guess I'm gonna have to do an inventory too!

@Leanne...haha it really did take a long time! I don't sleep much and its better than doing homework!

@Amethyst...I really want Harmonica! I like Saturn a lot too!

@Sagu...haha twins! Thank you!!

@Thank you honey bun!

@Em...Thanks, I'm glad it was! I love them.

@Wahine...Thats what I'm planning on! Trying to use each one at least once before I buy another, but then all the awesome holiday collections come out!

@Jenna...Yay! I do like the Gosh one, but its definitely NOT as moisturizing as NYX.

@Mama Jen...Hell yeah! SO cheap! I'll probably do it tomorrow. Preview...not good XD

Even if you don't restock the makeup, you'll still be beautiful. That is the best thing!

You need not over-value the importance of material things.
