NYX Blush in Nutmeg

Happy November everyone!

I'm so excited for this review as it is my very first purchase from Nyx cosmetics!
Before I start,  I NEED to share with you that I had the oppurtunity to meet, talk and take pictures with Toni Ko, Founder of NYX from Los Angeles, when she visited Greece for Nyx Store Opening !!! Yayyyy ^_^
 
So, what else to buy from an amazing brand than your favorite make up item which is blushes for me! I certainly can't go out without my blush on ;)
I decided to go with a basic color blush, called Nutmeg! Well, I LOVE it!

First stop, its color! This is the perfect every day neutral brownish, but in a healthy way color for your cheeks! You can use it as your contour, as it has no shimmers and the muted color helps you a lot to achieve that defined structure to your bones, and as your basic blush too while it gives you that fresh matte appearance you desire. It's that basic color you can't believe it can give you such a flattering look, with any kind of make up you have on. The color you see in the pan, the same color you get to your cheeks!
It has a really strong pay off! You only need one swatch to your brush and boom! You're flushed and ready to go! So, that's the reason why it stays on all day too! You can aslo build up the color for more intese look, without looking clowny. I'm an NC20 fair skin, so this is suitable for light skins.
As for the texture... It's soo soft and easy to work with it! Blends amazingly well, leaving you with no streaks. A thing that you might be aware of is that it is quite powdery for my taste, so I need to tap off any extra amount from my blush brush. I have the idea of wasting product when blushes are so powdery, but it's a thing that doesn't bother me too much.

It's a 5.2gr of product for 9 Euros, Europe price. For Nyx, it's quite pricey. But in comparison with other drugstore brands it's ok. I would definitely purchase again one of their blushes, a similar one when it comes to color shade, called Espresso.
It is a remarkable quality product, so I won't let other shades stay alone at their stands! I need to get all of them in my drawer :D
I do love the package too! Sleek, compact and shiny. Easy to carry on in your bag, taking no place at all. 

The fun part is that it is a dupe for MAC blush in Tenderling, which I love too !!!!
They have almost the same color and texture! Tenderling is a sheertone light neutral beige blush, so it goes on quite light. But if you do build it up, you get the same color as Nyx in Nutmeg! It can be used for blush and contour too.
So, if you're on a budget, you can definitely try Nyx instead of Mac.

As a blush fanatic, having on my make up collection many many blushes from different brands, I have to admit that I've fallen to this Nyx blush and I'll keep buying more and more shades for sure!
Give it a try, their color range is huge and amazing!
