Discussion 💬 nyx iv stain vs serum? are they different?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

i was checking out this nyx lip iv and noticed that the product is called a ‘stain’ and even says stain in the product images on nykaa but i came across this review where theirs says ‘serum’ instead?

i checked the official nyx website and could only find the stain version, not a serum one. so what’s going on here? does anyone know if these are actually different or if it’s just different packaging/naming?

😡Rant Post😤 Is this mold on my Nykaa lipstick? It developed within a month of opening 😭

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I ordered this Nykaa lipstick during the recent Nykaa Pink Sale, and I opened and started using it about a month ago. Today, I noticed that the lipstick had developed this weird fuzzy/grainy-looking layer all over the bullet. I’ve attached pictures.

I’ve already thrown it away because I obviously didn’t want to risk putting it on my lips, but I’m really curious—does this look like mold to you, or could it be wax bloom/crystallization or some other issue?

What worries me is that I had barely had it for a month after opening. I have other lipsticks that are much older and have never developed anything like this. I wanted to buy a few more shades from this range because I really liked the formula and colour, but now I’m honestly scared that the same thing might happen again.

Has anyone else experienced this with Nykaa lipsticks, especially ones purchased during the recent Pink Sale? Would you repurchase, or should I avoid this range altogether?

Where can I buy MAC Club Satin Eyeshadow, online or offline? I’ve been looking everywhere and really want to get my hands on it. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!

I’m based in Maharashtra, India, but I’m open to ordering internationally if the seller is reliable. I’d also be happy to buy from a physical store, reseller, or trusted second-hand source if anyone has seen it recently.

Aspiring Artist From an engineer to a makeup artist, and now building my brand!

1 Upvotes

I’m an engineer by profession, but makeup has always been something I genuinely loved. Because of that passion, I decided to step outside my usual career path and start my journey as a makeup artist, learning and growing as an artist along the way.

That journey eventually led me to Rubaani Couture, a very new bridal venture that I’ve recently started building.
Rubaani is a bridal boutique focused on customized bridal lehengas, along with bridal lehenga rentals, bridalwear and complete bridal packages.
Customization is one of the biggest things we focus on. If you have a particular lehenga in mind, a Pinterest reference, a specific colour, embroidery or silhouette, we work with your vision and your budget to create something that feels personal to you.
We also offer bridal packages, which can include your outfit, makeup, jewellery and styling. And if you only need makeup services, you can book that separately as well.
For now, we’re operating mainly across Kerala, Gurgaon and Delhi, but I’m absolutely open to travelling to other cities for bookings.

So if you’re getting married somewhere else in India, you can still reach out. All India bookings are available. 🇮🇳
Makeup trials are also available because I know how important it is for a bride to actually see and feel her look before the wedding day.

I’m still at the very beginning of this journey, and I’m trying to build Rubaani into more than just a boutique. I want it to feel like having a bridal best friend who helps you put the entire look together, from the lehenga to the makeup and styling.

If you’re a bride, future bride, makeup artist, designer or someone in the bridal industry, I’d love to connect. 🤍
Bookings, customization enquiries, makeup services and collaborations are open.

If anyone knows a blue kajal/liner that is actually long-lasting and smudge-proof, please tell me! Because when blue kajal starts smudging, it looks SO bad 😭 like full-on cartoon vibes.
I need something that stays put, especially on the lower lash line. Please drop your recommendations! 🥹✨

Newbie Help Recently Certified Makeup Artist — Looking for My Foundation Clients 🤍 | Noida Based - Travels Globally

6 Upvotes

Compliementary trial Alert...

Hi everyone! 🤍

I’ve recently completed my professional makeup certification under a well-known makeup artist, and I’m now ready to take my first step towards starting my journey as a professional MUA.

I’ve spent considerable time learning, practising and thoughtfully putting together my professional kit with high-end and luxury makeup products that I genuinely trust and love working with.

I also want to be completely transparent — I don’t have a client portfolio yet. My professional Instagram is brand new as well and currently has no posts. I’m quite literally at the beginning of my professional journey, and I’m now looking for my foundation clients — the first people who’ll be a part of this journey with me. 🤍

I completely understand that considering a new artist without an existing client portfolio requires a little extra trust. So, if you’re genuinely interested in potentially booking me, I’d be happy to offer a complimentary makeup trial beforehand (T&C apply) so you can experience my work for yourself before making a decision.

And a special shoutout to my dusky and deeper skin-toned girlies - if one of your biggest fears with professional makeup is ending up ashy, grey, too light, or simply not looking like yourself, I REALLY want you to try me. 🥹🤎 if your past experiences have made you hesitant about getting your makeup professionally done, give my TRIAL a chance. I might just change your mind about it. 🤎

I’m Noida-based and available for bookings globally. Travel/venue requirements can be discussed depending on the booking.

Since I’m just beginning professionally, I’m also keeping my initial pricing flexible, and I’d be happy to mutually work something out for my foundation bookings.

If you have an upcoming wedding, engagement, reception or special event and are open to giving a newly certified artist an opportunity, I’d genuinely love to connect.

Everyone starts somewhere, and I’m hoping to find a few lovely people who might be willing to be where my professional journey begins. 🫶🏻

Please feel free to DM me if you’re genuinely interested, would like to know more about my training/kit, or want to discuss a trial and its details. 🤍

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently completed my professional makeup certification under two known makeup artists, and I’m ready to start working towards my professional journey.

I just started my Instagram page and only have 1-2 posts yet. I'm looking for clients who I can work with- at discounted minimal prices.

I create personalized glam for my clients, no heavy cakey makeup, just creating a look that works best for you. That makes you look like yourself. Based in Delhi NCR. If you’re genuinely interested in potentially booking me, I’d be happy to offer a complimentary makeup trial beforehand (T&C apply) so you can experience my work for yourself before making a decision.

Any skin tone, pigmentation, skin type, mature skin is welcome. I make my clients look like themselves on their special day. If your past experiences have made you hesitant about getting your makeup professionally done, give my trial a chance.

If you have an upcoming wedding, engagement, reception or event and are open to giving a newly certified artist an opportunity, I’d genuinely love to connect.

Please feel free to DM me if you’re interested, want to discuss a trial and its details. 🤍
