Life as a NYX Insider and my first EVENT as a NYX Insider- The Campus Giveaway!

As promised here is a very special dedicated post all about my role as a NYX Insider!

What is a NYX Insider?!

A NYX Insider is essentially a brand ambassador for NYX- but with the ability to give everyone some inside information about all the exciting things going on with the brand. In my role I help to organise and orchestrate events, as well as letting other students know exciting NYX news. I will post some photos later in this post that show what I did at my first event!

How and why did you apply for this?!

I applied to be a brand ambassador for NYX as I love the brand and all the products, and admire the extent that NYX goes to to get involved with make up artistry and members of the industry no matter how big or small they are. I saw the vacancy advertised online for a NYX brand ambassador and thought that I would apply as it sounded rightttttt up my street! After successfully getting the job, I was invited along with nine other ladies (all from different unis in the country) to L'Oreal HQ to learn all about the products and brand.

The NYX head office was AMAZING, it was make-up heaven, every wall was covered in shelves and shelves of NYX cosmetics, every type, every colour, all free for us to play with. We explored the new range of products that are due to come out ASAP (absolutely amazing!!!!). Some of my favourites include the Ombre blush (in a peach colour because I'm obsessed with peach), the Lip Lingerie, and the Intense Butter Gloss. We got to touch and feel all of the products which was really inspiring and literally made me want to buy everything...

What was the highlight of the training day?

A highlight of the training day for me was learning all about the NYX Face Awards, which has now launched in the UK. NYX offer a life changing prize of £10,000, as well as a trip to L.A to attend the U.S Face Awards, and a crazy supply of NYX cosmetics. There are no limitations on entry to this competition, you don't have to be a professional make-up artist or currently work in industry- just have a passion for make-up! This shows how the brand is willing to invest in talent, and doesn't just go after entrants with the most followers on social media. I'm really excited to see some of this years entries!

What will you be doing as a NYX Insider?

My role is to generate excitement and a buzz amongst the students, and others! My first event was a massive success and has made me REALLY excited for whats to come. The event was a free make-up giveaway on campus! I made a Facebook event before the giveaway (which was on Thursday) and we seemed to get a really great response- although I had no idea the amount of people that would actually turn up on the day-looooads of people! We set up and already had people in a line, some of the products included lipstick, foundation, eyeliner, tinted moisturiser and chunky lipsticks. Due to the huge volume of people that attended- we were out of make-up in twelve minutes! This was annoying as I really wanted everyone to get something, but hopefully if we do this again we will have more products. Everyone who came was so lovely and I hope they enjoyed their make-up!
