NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

Since we’re on board the NYX train this week, I wanted to review the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream! I purchased these on Cherry Culture for $3.60 each (40% off – I love bargains). I’ve always liked matte formulas that don’t accentuate my dry lips – and these did the trick! There are 22 shades to pick from ranging from nudes to bright fuchsias to dark vampy colours. I’ve picked up Stockholm, Cannes, Copenhagen, and Transylvania.

DESCRIPTION: Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing.

Beginning with the packaging, I found it real sleek looking and purse friendly, I also love how the outer packaging resembles the colour inside accurately. Upon trying the Matte Lip Creams they are indeed creamy, but seems like there’s nothing in the tube if you wiggle the wand around (but there is product – not to worry). I found that each colour is pigmented and applies pretty evenly with the exception of Transylvania, it was pretty patchy and took a while to work it on my lips evenly. Once applied to your lips it seems kind of glossy at first but it will dry to a matte. I found the Matte Lip Creams non-sticky or greasy, but lightweight and overall lasted a good 4-5 hours.
