How are NYX products are they comparable to MAC?What products do you reccomend from NYX?

FOUNDATION & CONCEALER:
NYX Liquid Foundation = Mac Hyper Real SPF 15 (Mac Pro only):
NYX Twin Cake Foundation = Mac Studio Fix Powder or Studio Tech
Maxfactor Pancake Foundation = Mac's Full Coverage (Pro only)
NYX Concealer Jar = Mac Studio Fix Concealer
NYX Concealer Stick = Mac Studio Stick Concealer
NYX Concealer Wand = Mac Select Moisture Cover

POWDERS:
NYX Bronzer Powder = Mac Bronzers
NYX Loose Face Powder = Mac Select Sheer Loose
NYX Highlight & Contour Set = Mac's Sculpt & Shape (Mac Pro only)

BLUSH:
NYX Mosaic Powder Blush = Mac Mineralize Blush
NYX Rouge Creme Blush = Mac Blushcreme
NYX Powder Blush = Mac Powder Blush**
** I noticed a lot of the NYX blushes have the same name as Mac's blushes and are very similar in color (dupes).

BRUSHES:
NYX B07 Flat Top Brush = Mac 187/188 Duo Fibre Brush
NYX B01 The Big One Brush = Mac 150 Large Powder Brush

SHADOWS:
NYX shadow trios are similar to the Mac special edition palettes that come with three or four shades together. I believe NYX makes 45 different trio palettes alone, not to mention their single and loose shadows. Their single shadows have the same finishes as Mac ones, ie. Pearl, Frosty, Matte, etc. Some shadows I can attest for:

NYX Hot Pink = Mac Passionate
NYX Platinum SIlver = Mac Electra
NYX Seafoam Green = Mac Newly Minted
NYX Khaki = Mac Mink & Sable
NYX Marrakesh = Mac Greensmoke
NYX Deep Purple = Mac Beauty Marked
NYX Lime Juice = Mac Bitter

san ako pwede bumili ng nyx d2 sa pinas?....tnx

[RoXie23]

Love their lipsticks, black label, diamond sparkle and round! walang plasticky scents or flavors.  I order my NYX products online, from cherryculture.com, kasi walang masyadong color choices yung drugstore na nagbebenta dito sa NZ eh.  $2.00 lang din yung round lipsticks nila

Hey Candygirls!

I've heard so much about NYX, especially from the makeup gurus on youtube. Since I live in Sweden I haven't been able to try it out. I know that you can order from the website but the tax is expensive. I decided to wait because I'm going back home to the Philippines next week and do you girls know where I can buy NYX products in Manila?

Thanks!

[la_bea17]

Meron ba nyan dito? Parang wala naman akong nakikita sa mga dept. stores.

[♥michipoo♥]

^sa multiply sites sis my mga pre-orders and resellers 

[CK_1990]

saang mall ang my nyx?

[♥michipoo♥]

I read in girltalk na may nyx daw sa Robinsons Manila, I forgot the name of the store. pero hindi wide yung range ng products na binebenta. parang yung lipsticks and jumbo eye pencils lang ang available 

[omahdarling]

HI mga sis may advertisement sa candy store that carries nyx products check niyo nalang.

favorite ko lip products and blushes nila.

even the eyeshadows
 and the blushes heheh kaka addict talaga.

cheap alternative to MAC talaga. 

[nikki_doo]

OMG! NYX! hayy nako.. i really want NYX products, as in, napapanaginipan ko na nga eh, 2 nights na. addict much? anyways, san nga ba makakabili ng NYX products? kasi pag sa multiply, ang mahal. understandable nman, kasi dahil sa shipping. kung online nman, like cherryculture, or nonpareilboutique, shopcraze, etc., ang mahaaal ng shipping. ai oo nga pla, and iba d nag shiship sa Phil. bummer. may nbasa nman ako isang blog, sa cebu dw meron, white gold yta yun.

[shobe01]

i think its not in robinsons its in glorietta sis.=D pero limited nga lang as in limited hehe.i have some nyx products and i love them,they are cheap compared to mac,the vogue street in multiply sells some roundlipstick and jumbo eyepencils

[kz]

i love the quality of their lipsticks.. very pigmented and creamy and non drying to the lips. i have the Strawberry Milk, Narcissus, and Rose somethin. hehe! all pink shades, i love love them:D:D

[blue_mage]

i like their round lipsticks and lipgloss, but some of them taste like plastic. their goddess of the night lipglosses naman super yummy and very pigmented single eyeshadows are creamier and color payoff mas okay kesa dun sa trio palettes nila....for the eyeliners, okay naman. not smudge proof and color payoff is so-so..hindi nagllast especially in humid areas

[stewie``]

Super to mag-sale sa website nila. In fairness, magaganda naman daw ang mga products nila. I've never tried NYX, but I have been tempted to buy since they have awesome and cheap products.
