I only discovered these little gems a couple of months ago and I must say that for the price, I'm impressed! I purchased the shades Milan, Buenos Aires, Tokyo and Cairo. Sure, a couple of the lighter shades were a hit and miss as the pigmentation, durability and finish aren't as desirable as those of the darker shades which I would say are almost comparable to Lime Crime Velvetines. I find that during a normal working day I only have to touch it up once. They are slightly drying but I find that is the case with most matte finish lip products and not to the extent that it's something to be concerned about. Nothing that can't be avoided by a decent lip balm or scrub. They glide on smoothly and they smell yummy which is an added bonus. Definitely a product I'm planning on purchasing more of but I think I'll stick to the darker shades. Good value for money in my opinion!

Tips: If you're a big fan of matte finish lip products then it's a good idea to either invest in a decent lip scrub or make your own. They make a huge difference and when followed by a good lip balm they leave your lips feeling tip top!
I recently went on a NYX haul when I was in the States and bought the Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen which is a dark, berry red.
The consistency is a little on the thick side but not too thick. It's pigmented but I did need to add a couple of coats to really get a good payoff.
The lasting power of this product is awesome, I'll give it that. I only needed to reapply twice throughout the entire day - and that was with client visits and drinking a lot of coffee, so that's a bonus.
However for me - it went patchy around the inside of my lips and got a bit cloggy.
Tips: It shows up any imperfections you've got on your lips so you would need to exfoliate before applying.
It also doesn't apply well over a lip balm. So you need to apply this to a dry, bare lip.
I have heard and seen lots of reviews online. I honestly accepted that the reviews really pushed me to get some. The pigmentation is good and the price is even better but it is not what I expected. First warning... who ever uses this lip cream must have good moisturized lips... applying on dry lips will give a fully trashy look. Start moisturising your lips now girls loll!!!
Tips: I often use this lip cream with other products I have such as Melted coral with NYX Antwerp or LA girl Gleam lip paint with NYX London...
I had been wanting to try these for a few months now until I was in the new Farmers store on Queen street and they have stocked NYX products. I picked up 2 Soft matte lip creams in Abu dhabi, it is a beige nude shade, I find you cant go wrong with nude shades.
The shape of the tube and applicator is very similar to their Butter gloss range except these have a black lid. Easy to open and tightens very easily.
I found you need to layer these a few times to get the full amount of colour. It comes out evenly and is very creamy, glides on like a dream. But the layers are very thin. I add 3-4 layers to get a good amount of colour on my lips. The wear time is 4-6 hours when your eating or drinking, only a small amount comes off in the middle of your lips.
If I have these on my lips for more than 6 hours it makes my lips feel very dry so I pop on some lip balm over the top just to make my lips feel not so shriveled.
There was another shade I've been wanting to try, I will be purchasing that one next. Overall the price and quality is good, you just need to be a bit patient to build up the shade.
Man I love this! :) it feels great on my lips and doesn't dry them out. From the ones that I've tried:
Pros: - Great pigment - Application is soft and creamy - Appears matte, but isn't dry - Has many shades - Smell is not over-powering - Affordable
Cons: - Can transfer somewhat... but that's only nitpicking
Would I buy this product again? YES :)
Would I recommend this product? Definitely!
I bought one of these spontaneously a while back when I was browsing at Farmers. I found the shade 'Stockholm' which appealed to me because it's a nude that is subtle, but gorgeous.
It doesn't last for ages, but I kind of prefer the fact that it doesn't stain your lips and you can just reapply when needed. It dries quite fast and looks really smooth on your lips. The price is very affordable!
Tips: It goes on your lips really well, but you definitely need to moisturise your lips first, because the lip cream really doesn't provide any moisture at all. I like to use a chapstick and leave it on for a few minutes before I apply the lip cream.
this lip product is very wearable, it lasts a long time on the lips. it isn't drying which is always good. it doesn't go patchy, and makes the lips look nice and full. the packaging it very nice and simple it is easy to carry with you when your traveling.
Tips: best preferred with a liner. two coats so it lasts longer.
As far as matt lipglosses go this is a great choice. Not quite the same as the Kylie Jenner version but for the price it’s a great option. It works best when used with a matching lip liner. Like all other products in this brand it’s extremely reasonably priced
I picked this up in the Beauty Vault a while ago, thanks BR! I am not a huge lipstick fan as I have such thin lips, but I like to experiment every now and then.
It comes in an 8ml tube with a screw on lid that has a doe foot applicator. The formula is smooth and creamy and glides on easily. It dries down quite quickly and has a lovely scent, it reminds me of baking.
I got the shade Abu Dhabi, a lovely nude beige. I quite like it and it suits my fair skin well. I find if I don't prep my lips beforehand then this sinks into every line and doesn't look very good. So I have to do a lip scrub then apply some lip balm before applying the lipstick.
It lasts a good 4 or so hours on me before I start to see some wear and need to touch up. It does come off a bit after eating and drinking but nothing really major.
Overall it is quite a nice matte lippie and I would be keen to try other colours. It has an affordable price tag. Just remember to prep your lips well.
I have the San Paulo colour. Bottle is nice & matches my others. I like how the top has a slight rubbery texture. When I do makeup & moisturiser, my hands can feel slightly greasy.
Open and apply. WOW all I can smell is butterscotch or hokey pokey!!! YUM!
It glides on nice and smooth. The colour is very pigmented. Rub lips together and they just glide.
The price is fantastic. I find the quality is worth more than the price point. Just means you can afford a few more :)
I find the feel on your lips is more drying than a gloss (to be expected). Feels like it sets kind of.
I love the ease of application. The applicator head is soft and easily applies the right amount of lip cream.
Tips: A must have when you don't want bold
