NYX Is My New Obsession ...


Hi, my beautiful readers!

I am obsessed with NYX lip products! Enough said!

In general, I am a huge fan of matte lips, and this product quickly became one of my favorite, along with SEPHORA Cream Lip Stain. I will talk about Sephora separately, so stay tuned!

Back to NYX soft matte lip cream. I got several shades at the nearest CVS Pharmacy. I wasn't expecting much, but this flew past my expectations. I must say that this product has a good quality, and it is not very pricey! The texture is creamy, so it is not super dry on your lips. It does not feather on the lips like most matte products do. The creamy formula allows smooth application. It goes on well and sets effortlessly to a nice matte finish. Plus, the pigmentation is amazing! However, it does not last the whole day, so you better carry it with you for touch ups. It is mine go to lip product for this October. Look for the color swatches below. 
Another NYX lip product that I got at CVS is also matte but now it is Matte Lipstick. They are affordable, pigmented and allows smooth application as well. They are not as matte as NYX lip creams. However, those matte lipsticks stay fairly long. I love mixing two shades that I have, cause I do not like how they look on me when I wear them separately. I would definitely recommend you to try them out.

Here are the swatches of the shades that I’ve got so far, and I am planning to get the whole collection of both NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream and NYX Matte Lipstick:


06 Istanbul

11 Milan

04 London

09 Abu Dhabi

Even though London and Abu Dhabi may look the same, they are different when you apply them. London is mid-tone beige, Abu Dhabi is deep-rose beige and darker than London shade. 

21 Butter

01 Nude

The swatches are in the same order as the pictures of the products: 

Istanbul, Milan, London, Abu Dhabi, Butter, Nude
