NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

I recently got this from makeup.co.nz and I'm so glad I did. I got the shade san paulo which is a nice darker pinky nude colour. I now get why people rave about this product so much.

It is indeed soft when applied on the lips and it's not sticky. The packaging is small and nice perfect to put in your bag.

I found that it applies quite well too with the applicator. You do need to go over your lips a few times to get the perfect opaque colour.

It doesn't last as long on my lips as much as I want to. However, it's still pretty good. I did have a curry the first time I wore this so it didn't last. However, when I was just out and about, it lasted much longer. It is slightly drying but I haven't tried a matte liquid lipstick that hasn't dried my lips after wearing it for a long time.

For the price, I think this is a great product and I would love to try other shades in the range.

I am a huge fan of NYX products as they're well priced and great quality. I decided to give this matte lip cream a go as i love matte lippies. I bought this in shades monte carlo and addis ababa which are both gorgeous shades. It is super easy to apply, and definitely dries to a gorgeous, matte finish. i dont find that it's drying at all like some other 'liquid' lippies I've tried which is a bonus.

I got this product in the beauty box I got in Abu Dhabi my first thought was it was to dark but that wasn't the case it was the perfect shade the smell was beautiful and has real staying power and it dosen't seem to dry out lip's like some matte's do.

I am obsessed with matte lip products, they are my absolute favourite and I wanted to jump on the matte liquid lipstick band wagon as soon as it became popular but I didn't have much luck with them. Australis Velour Lips burnt my lips and made them sting/itch like crazy! MUA Velvet Lips were far too dry and uncomfortable for my liking and those popular ebay Lime Crime dupes never dried down and stayed uncomfortably sticky. So when my friend gave me one of these NYX ones I was very, very sceptical but boy was I pleasantly surprised! These last up until you eat, any oils will deteriorate the formula but that's okay, I don't find these hard to remove so it's easy enough to reapply. The NYX formula isn't overly drying, you can still mush your lips together without it flaking off and it smells AMAZING. I do find that the shade I have needs some building up as it's not very opaque but the formula is thin enough that you can easily layer it. I am super impressed by these and already have a list of the other shades I want.

I loooove these!! I got on the NSMLC bandwagon after seeing so much about them online. I initially ordered one in a gorgeous soft pink shade called "Milan" (I love how they're all named after famous cities). When it arrived, I was really pleased to see it was in a doe foot applicator form (I know it's called a cream, but I still kinda expected a stick form). It makes it so easy to use and apply. On application, I was even more pleased with the beautiful, moussy, almost whipped consistency with glided onto my lips smoothly and evenly, topped off with a gorgeous creamy, sweet, fragrance. The product feels delightfully smooth and soft (I applied it just before writing this review for maximum detail), but it's certainly not a product to use when your lips are cracking or peeling, as even though this isn't drying, because the finish is very matte, I find it clings to and exacerbates any dry bits when it sets. Whereas a nonsetting formula can be a little more forgiving. I make sure I exfoliate and hydrate before using this! I have not given it 100%, as NYX call this product moisturising. I didn't find that to be the case. Now as much as it isn't drying, and my lips feel fine once it's set (unlike most matte lip products), I certainly haven't found it hydrated it nourished, but I didn't buy it for that purpose so that really doesn't worry me. I have since purchased two more shades, "Antwerp", which is a pink still, but with a slightly orangey hue, also much more vivid than "Milan", less of a natural shade, and "Stockholm", a beautiful nude, peachy tan. I wish I could attach swatch pictures! I love these creams and I can't wait to collect more. The colour selection is amazing, ranging from neutrals to brights to darks, and the longevity is brilliant. They begin to slowly fade after eating and drinking, but I've never had them dissappear entirely. Even when they do fade, it's merely the colour becoming less intense. There's none of that lip corner gathering, crumbling, smudging or flaking nonsense. These are brilliant.

I ordered a whole lot of NYX products from their website and try a few different things and got a few of these (Antwerp, Prague and another I cant seem to find). This is my go to work lippy at the moment because they apply effortlessly and i only need one decent layer, they apply wet then it sets dry and lasts for hours depending on the condition of my lips. The colour pay off is fantastic they do not sink into the lines of your lips. They smell devine sort of like a caramel sundae from Maccas. Love these and want some more colours from summer

I recently got given 3 of these for my birthday, and I was so excited because I've heard so many great things about these products on youtube.

I currently have San Paulo, Antwerp, and Addis Ababa. SP is described as a "plummy pink", Antwerp as a "mid-toned, yellow-toned pink", whilst AA is a "bright fuchsia". Frankly speaking, I feel like SP and Antwerp are quite similar in colour, except SP is obviously a touch darker.

First and most importantly, these babies smell SO good. I can't put my finger on it, but definitely something baked and caramel. Brownie points for the scent, nyx! Secondly, when you first apply, they really aren't kidding about going on soft. The formula plus the doe foot applicator ensures that, plus makes it all the more easy to glide over your lips.

The pigmentation is great also, but if you are looking for a pure matte liquid lipstick like Australis' velourlips or ABH, then this isn't really it. However, for what it's worth, these are pretty excellent as a step under.

Some downsides are that they're not transfer-proof, and they do tend to fade after awhile, but I generally don't mind re-application. Also, I feel like the colour of the tube isn't a replica of the colour of the formula. As someone who likes having that cohesiveness, it is slightly deterring.

I think the love for this product is universal, but I thought I'd share my opinion as well :)

This was the first liquid-ish type lipstick that I've tried. I had the colour Antwerp, Istanbul, and San Paulo.

Texture wise I think the name says it all, it is a cream textured liquid lipstick and it dries matte but not Dry matte like other liquid lipsticks (MUA, LA Girl).

The colours blend really well on the lips (no lines or cracks visible), and it is non-drying. It has a sweet vanilla scent that I loveee...

However, on me, it does fade after a meal just like a normal lipstick would. But as it is a creamy texture, you can just touch up and it will be good as new :)

This lipstick is alwaysss in my bag and I reach for it whenever I can't decide on what to wear. It's just so reliable, easy, and not fussy to wear.

I have to be honest if I saw this on the shelf I probably won’t buy it as I’m not too fond of NYX’s lip products. I actually got this as a gift and only got to trying it recently. I have mine in the shade Madrid which is a rich plum color that may be lighter or darker depending on your natural lip color. It’s not at all the same as the color shown on the packaging so best to try it out on your lip if you’re unsure. When I saw the texture on the wand the first time I thought it seemed a bit dry but it was in fact very creamy upon application. The wand itself is pretty easy to use and I tend to use the tip to line my lips since I don’t have a lip liner of a similar shade. You definitely need to wait a short while for it to dry to avoid smudging/transferring this everywhere. After drying it doesn’t smudge that easily but a little bit of the color comes off when I lightly wipe with finger which is normal. When I drink on a glass of water I only see a little bit of transfer. It feels weightless to the lips and a bit hydrating in fact (I feel). It doesn’t last too long though. It started wearing off after about 4 hours with a slight oily meal in between. It was overall a pleasant surprise for me. I feel that it’s one of those hassle-free matte lipsticks which I like so I will repurchase if I find a shade that I like but don’t already have.

These were my favourite years ago, I owned heaps of different shades. I've recently bought a few shades and was surprised to find I love them now as much as I used to.

These are great for everyday use. I use these with lipliner and sometimes without. They are super lightweight and don't dry my lips out. They are easy to apply and love the many different shades that I have tried. They are not the most pigmented, so I never use them when I'm going out. But would highly recommend for everyday use!
