Review/Swatch: My NYX Round Lipglosses and Megashine Lipgloss and another addition of Cream blush in Boho Chic

So far these are my lipglosses from NYX. (ordered online from digitaltraincase in multiply)

I'm not a big fan of lip glosses usually because of it's lack of pigmentation that I want, the goopy feel on my lips and because it doesn't even last for more than 30 mins. on my lips....and hair sticking to my lips! nightmare!

That's why I'm very picky with my lipglosses and so far, Etude House Peach water Glosses are still my favorite ones...about the NYX lipglosses...hmmm..I'm having mix feelings about these...

Anyway, here are the swatches.

My round lipglosses:

DOLLY PINK

the flash washed out the true pigmentation of the lipgloss...it should be more pigmented than in the photo, but you can sheer out the color if you want.

I'm pleasantly surprised how pigmented this is for a lipgloss! 

Comment:
Pro:
- it's quite affordable (P200)
- I LOVE THE PIGMENTATION!!
- love the texture! Not too runny, not too sticky.

Cons:
- not readily available locally.
- the smell is sometimes unbearable!! It smells like citrus car-air freshener. Sometimes when I apply too much and lick my lips, it feels like the smells tranfers to my tongue, making me nauseous. C'mon NYX! you're already very rich by now to change the smell of your lipglosses!

My Megashine Lipgloss:

BEIGE:

Natural light:
I don't know why they call this beige...it doesn't look beige to me.

Comments:
Pro:
- great pigmentation for a lipgloss.
- better formula than the round lipgloss which means better texture and feel on the lips.
- a bit steeper priced than the round lipgloss, but it still quite affordable (P260)

Cons:
- not readily available locally.
- The SMELL. Although it has a better smell than the round lipgloss, it's still making me nauseous sometimes because it smells like my son's fever medicine or cough syrup. You can do better than that NYX.

and another addition to my cream blush collection:

BOHO CHIC

I'm kind of disappointed by this one because it has shimmers in it...Many gals like this, but I'm the rare ones who doesn't like extra shimmy-shine on the face.
