I ordered four lipsticks in Peach Champagne, Fiery Pumpkin, Apple Plum, and Electric Azalea, and two gel lipsticks in Persephone and Athena.
I had to pay £15.06 customs charge *grumble grumble* Most stuff I order from the US slips by, but unfortunately not this time!
They arrived in a cute little bag which was a nice touch :)
Swatches of lipsticks (descriptions from Morgana Cryptoria website):
Peach Champagne
"Peach with gold tones and a pearl sheen."
"Peach with gold tones and a pearl sheen."
Fiery Pumpkin
"A shimmer of gold and red on a rust-orange base."
"A shimmer of gold and red on a rust-orange base."
Apple Plum
"Muted red with just a hint of plum sheen."
"Muted red with just a hint of plum sheen."
Electric Azalea
"Vivid pink with sparkles that change blue-violet to red-violet."
"Vivid pink with sparkles that change blue-violet to red-violet."
Persephone
"Pink champagne that shifts peach-gold-green."
"Pink champagne that shifts peach-gold-green."
Athena
"Red toned purple with sparkles that change red to orange-gold."
"Red toned purple with sparkles that change red to orange-gold."
The regular lipstick formula is really nice and long wearing on me. I really love Fiery Pumpkin, and had to snap it up when I saw it was to be discontinued. My favourite though is Electric Azalea, it's a really striking pink!
The gel lipstick was a little harder to apply, the formula is quite thick so very thin coats should be applied in layers, with a light hand. Morgana Cryptoria advises that you don't purse your lips or rub them together as it unsettles the finish. Apparently they are liable to melt in high temperatures - luckily I live in cold rainy England, lol. I guess if they felt too soft, I could stick them in the fridge. Both Persephone and Athena are gorgeous colours, and look very glossy as you can see.
You can buy these lipsticks from Morgana Cryptoria's website. She sells other makeup too, so check it out if you haven't already :)
I'll be posting some more NYX lipstick swatches soon, so you'll soon be bored of seeing my lips all the time! Lol! I'm a total lippie addict obviously, so if you want to recommend me lip products to try out, please do so!
