When I first read that NYX Cosmetics was in Singapore<\/a>, I was quite excited about it. I like NYX Cosmetics<\/a> stuff. They are cheap (by USA standards) and you get very good stuff for the price. I find that NYX eyeshadows<\/a> and blushes <\/a>are one of the best drugstore items around, and are comparable to even department store brands. They are that good!<\/p>\n On my most recent trip to Singapore, I stumbled (quite literally) onto a NYX Cosmetics counter at the Guardian in Paragon Shopping Centre on Orchard Road.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There was quite a good selection of stuff – single eyeshadows, trios, blushes, mosaic blushes, false eyelashes, foundations, concealer etc… basically some of nearly everything in the line.<\/p>\n I loved that because I finally could test out the NYX mosaic blushes <\/strong>(They are the round ones you see in the lower left corner). I was expecting a couple in the mail and being able to test them out in person was awesome (I love them by the way, but thats the subject of another review!)<\/p>\n The prices however, are another matter altogether. They are high for drugstore makeup. e.g. the NYX loose powder eyeshadows <\/strong>(again subject of another review) are only US$3 (RM9.60) <\/strong>or even US$1.99 (RM6.40) but they are S$13+ (RM30) in Singapore. I’d pay US$3 for them because they are US$3 nice but not S$13 nice. Ditto the rest of the products.<\/p>\n I’m not sure how long it’ll last at those prices. NYX cosmetics website ships internationally but at a high price. You can also get your NYX fix from cherryculture.com or ebay. I got mine from ebay and after shipping etc paid about RM19 for a NYX mosaic blush which I can tell is going to be a staple for me! \ud83d\ude42 However, if you detest the wait, and prefer to check your products in person before you buy them, head on to a Guardian pharmacy in Singapore for your NYX fix!<\/p>\n Stay beautiful,<\/p>\n
