Merry Christmas

Hope everyone has a great holiday and throws themselves in a pit of gluttony for this holiday. I recently made a small purchase at cherryculture for mostly Nyx products. I can't find Nyx in my neighborhood, so the only way that I'll get some is through the internet. Most of what I had bought was really good, with the exception of these two products. One is the Jordana stick concealer in Light/Medium and the other is Nyx's cream blush in Boho Chic. Something to note is that while the blush looks like a brighter pink. in reality it looks like a muted peachy pink when blended into the skin. I swatched the concealer on top, then the blush, and then the blush blended on the bottom.

The concealer is a dead ringer for my skin color and when blended in, it was perfect. However, when I did let it sit, it slipped off and didn't stay. The reason why it blended so well was because it was so oily, that it spread nicely for a stick concealer but it was too oily to stay on. Plus the stick isn't really hygienic for reapplying purposes, so no repurchasing for me.
Isn't the bush so pretty? The only downside is the amount of sparkle that goes onto my cheeks when I blend this in. Its not the subtle sparkle that catches in the sun but the do you have glitter on your face look. The sparkles aren't chunky like glitter but they are still very bright and noticeable on the skin and it stays for a long time. Long after your blush has faded, the sparkles remain. I tried layering it under powder, but nope, still there. Its much more noticeable in the picture below so take a gander at it.
Once again, hope everyone has a happy holiday and enjoys their days off school or work.
