NYX Round Case Lipsticks, Review, Photos, and Swatches

Lipsticks that Even I can Afford to Collect.
 
The NYX round case lipsticks ($4.99 for 0.14oz [$69.86/oz] HERE) NYX has 50! different shades of this product that range from super frosty finish to creamy. Overall, they're pretty good. They have some good slip, so it's not a hassle to apply right out of the tube, though for darker shades I almost always use a brush. The darker shades do leave a stain. That could be bad or good depending on if you like long wearing products. So overall, I love them a ton... except for the fake plastic fruit scent. But the scent doesn't linger and it's not super strong. I just don't like the scent of reasonably priced lipsticks in general for some reason. But otherwise, most of these shades were opaque on me with just one layer. So, pretty fantastic for the price! And I apologize for any typos or grammar errors, as it is 12:15 am as I'm writing this... life of a student, right?

Yo-ho! (About this Blog)

Oh hai there all!
So this is a little place i like to call ColourMeKai. That name there in the title, Kai? Yup that's me. I'm a photography student at Niagara College, and its super awesome. But my other passions are things makeup! From theatre to editorial to everyday wear, i love it all. But, can anyone see the hole in this picture? College student = broke. Broke = no money for makeup.
Ergo! I create THIS! Muahahha!! ITS ALIVEEE!
A place for all us starving students who have a love of makeup. I'm going to just be reviewing and doing tutorials that use my own makeup collection, which i warn you, isn't big and all full of M.A.C. and other top-of-the-line brands.
And no my grammar, typing, and spelling isn't perfect. But i spend enough time on that stuff in uni and college thanks. So i'd say don't call me out on it please and thanks! 
Well that's all for tonight. Daylight savings time is officially over and while the clock says 3:00am...its legit 4:00am for me.
Nighters all.
Can't wait to post my first reviews!
