Review: Makeup: NYX Mosaic Powder Highlighter 01

October 8, 2008 Paris B 10 Comments

If there is one brand of cosmetics I wish would be brought here into Malaysia, its NYX Cosmetics. I previously reviewed the NYX eyeshadows and NYX blushes and in a nutshell, this inexpensive cosmetics brand is exceptional!

I had heard of the NYX Mosaic Powder for a while and had been tempted to get it too. But it was so hard to find anywhere that I eventually caved and got them on Ebay. I did later see them retailing in Singapore. The NYX Mosaic Powder Highlighter in 01 had been touted as the low end equivalent of Guerlain Meteorites highlighter powder. I had to see how well it fared.

The NYX Mosaic Powder is so called because there are 5 colours laid out in a mosaic form. There are a few colours available as the Mosaic Powder is also a blush. I will review the blushes I got separately later. For now, this review is on the powder in 01 Highlight.

NYX Mosaic Powder Highlighter
  • Save

The NYX Highlight powder comes in 5 different colours but blends together into a pearlescent white. I can’t swatch it because it doesn’t show up. Dusted on the face, it serves its duty well as a highlighting powder, diffusing redness and giving the skin a glow.

Unlike many highlighting powders, the NYX Mosaic powder does not have a lot of shimmer. Whatever shimmer it has is minimal so you don’t have the risk of looking like a disco ball. Some people have complained that of the Guerlain Meteorites. NYX Mosaic Powder in Highlight has none of this problem.

How I use it is by brushing a large fluffy powder brush over the surface and then dusting it on my face. Don’t expect to see any colour because its not meant to impart colour. If you apply too much however there will be a whitish cast to the skin which isn’t flattering.

Each colour can be used individually if you like, as eyeshadow. The colour is sheer but works in a pinch. On the face, its quite lovely, glossing over imperfections and giving a slight glow which is great on days when you don’t look and feel your best. 🙂

The size of the powder is rather like that of a MAC blush and comes in a similar looking case with a clear cover. There is a lot of product for the price and will last a long time. The nice thing is that its very portable because its slim.

The NYX Mosaic Powder is really cheap at about US$6 each. I think they were S$20 in Singapore but I cannot be sure due to failing memory 😛 For something that is so inexpensive, it does a great job which is expected only in higher end products. If this was a stock, I’d be calling a buy on it right now!

Pros: Good highlighter, Not sparkly, Portable, Cheap

Cons: Not available in Malaysia (Boo!)

    I’ve been wanting to try out the Guerlain meteorites ever since you wrote about it but this seems like a more cost effective buy!

    @Monstro : Ebay is an evil place – be careful you don’t get sucked in 😉

    @plue: They are not only pretty, but useful too!

    @Natalie: If you go to Singapore, you can check it out there.

    @ping: Yes, the eyeshadows are extremely good. I reviewed them before – link is in the post 🙂

    @rinnah: Yes this is cheaper and does the job. A highlighter challenge is coming up!

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
