I loved the Nyx Liquid Suede Metallic Mattes, Nyx Liquid Suedes in Subversive Socialite and Respect The Pink, Nyx Luv Out Loud Liquid Lipsticks (I got the three purples), and Wet n Wild liquid Catsuits from the Halloween and Midnight Mermaid Collections.
I love CP ULtra Satins, but I don’t think I bought any this year. (It’s hard to remember.)
I got one each of the Zoeva formulas in my BF haul. The Pure Lacquer in Senso, an orange, is stunning. And with their smaller matte palette, can do a terrific monochromatic orange look. The formula for the PL is anti-feather, despite being a lacquer, rather than matte finish. The Pure Velours is nice as well, but neither the color nor the formula impressed me as much. The tube lipstick (off topic, I know) is good, but not really worth overseas ordering, with the colors being so dupable. Zās flat rate shipping is 9 now, unless they went up today. That can easily offset state/city sales tax.
I loooove the NYX liquid suedes and the comic metals (which maybe came out in 2016 though I don’t remember).
