NYX : IN AUSTRALIA

NYX has recently become available in many target stores around Australia. You can check out the NYX cosmetics Australia Facebook page to ask if they are stocked in a store near you or just pop into your local store and check out the cosmetics section with your fingers crossed, hoping you see the NYX section.

For those of you who haven't heard of NYX before, it is a cheap cosmetics brand that offers high quality products at affordable prices. I would definitely recommend checking them out.

In todays post I will be telling you about the selection they have at Target and the all important prices. Then on Friday for my regular post I will be going through my NYX collection.

First of all lets take a moment to thank Target for deciding to stock NYX in Australia. I'm pretty sure I had seen NYX in Australia years and years ago in random stores and I am sure that you could get them from some makeup suppliers, however Target is just so convenient for most people to access.

The selection they had at the Target store I went to was quite small, especially compared to the other brands they stock. They really only had the basics such as eye and lipliners, a couple different ranges of lip glosses and lipsticks and a few blush and eyeshadow options. They also had brow products, powders, setting sprays and primers. For some reason, probably because I wasn't specifically looking for it, I don't remember if they had foundations. FAIL. I can't remember seeing them but surely they would have some! I notice they didn't have all their eye shadows and blushes. There was also no eye shadow palettes. There also didn't have all ranges of lipsticks available or any pigments, so in some cases you may still need to buy NYX online.

Now for the prices. They are definitely not as cheap as they are in the US, which is expected. Everything still has a few more dollars added to it, but it is still very cheap. To give you a comparison of prices, I bought one Mega Shine Lip Gloss for $11.95 and on crushcosmetics.com.au it is priced at $7.95. Crush Cosmetics is an online Australian retailer where you can purchase NYX and other brands. Overall the range and prices online ARE better, however having NYX stocked in Target gives you the ability to purchase and have products instantly and you can swatch products and get a better understanding of how they look and feel.

Target has a special offer going on at the moment where you can get $10 off when you spend over $50 which ends tomorrow, so go in and take advantage of this awesome deal!!!

See you here Friday where I will go through my NYX collection!
