My Nyx preorder arrived in the mail this week and it greeted me when I came home. I actually ordered a total of 4 Round Lipstick but the shade that I was expecting the most, Orange Soda was out of stock. So instead, I got the rest of my orders which are Pumpkin Pie, Circe and Thalia.
Pumpkin Pie seems like the most wearable shade for me when it comes to everyday use. It's a bit orange-y, hence the name and a bit darker than Orange Soda based on the swatches I've seen online. And since my upper lips are actually getting lighter (thanks to Bare Natural's Natural Pink Lip Gel! It works wonders btw :)) Pumpkin Pie is a MLBB shade for me. Circe is the nudest lipstick I own! It's really pigmented and when I have it on, my lips are the same color as my skin tone. I would love to use it on a smoky eye look or when I feel like dressing up as a zombie. Kidding aside, it's a gorgeous color for the nude lips lover like me. Thalia is a meh for me. It's a brownish pink or a pinkish brown. Sorta similar to MAC Hug Me, but a bit darker. I don't think I can use it so I gave it to my grandma instead XD
So, anyway, a while ago I was experimenting with Pumpkin Pie and Circe trying on different combinations because I was looking forward to recreating Orange Soda. I swiped one layer of Pumpkin Pie then I applied Circe sheerly and carefully as to not smudge the Pumpkin Pie. It did look passable for Orange Soda, although not as orange-y.
And being the curious cat that I am, I applied another layer of Circe, heavier than the first one and tada~! It looked exactly like my ColorBurst Soft Nude. The difference is the finish, Soft Nude is a bit drying on my lips but Pumpkin Pie + Circe is moisturizing and creamy, the only con about it is that it's not as long lasting as Soft Nude. But for the price, Pumpkin Pie+Circe is better IMO for 160 bucks a piece compared to Soft Nude's price tag at 575.
No pictures for this post but I'll try to follow it up around next week. >.< I bought my Nyx goodies at Shopgirl19.
