Damn Amsterdam

I have this product in the shade Amsterdam, which is a lovely orangey red shade.

I love the packaging of this product as the shade is the colour of the bottom of the lip product! Brilliant, straight away in my collection I can tell what colour it is. I wish so many other brands did this as well. The top of the product has a rubberised finish which feels a lot like the NARS packaging. I love this though because it makes it easy to get the lid on and off. The doe foot applicator seems a bit smaller than other products I have tried which is great as for such a bright colour it makes it super easy to put on.

The product itself smells amazing, like a vanilla cupcake! But I find the scent doesn't linger once applied which is nice which is nice. I put this on today just to remind myself of how it applies and wears etc. I'm not sure why I don't wear this more often! It applies so easily like a gloss. It doesn't dry down for a wee while so it gives you a bit of time to move it around if you haven't applied it perfectly. I usually put a balm on first to make sure my lips don't dry out and that works for me. I have found that generally the outside of it sets really well but the middle does disappear after eating or drinking. For me that isn't so much of a problem as it is much easier to fill in the middle when you are on the go rather than try and make the lip line perfect.

Overall I really want to purchase more shades of this lip product. I have recently done an order from the NYX website directly through YouShop for some other products that I haven't tried before but my next order will for sure have some different colours of these in there.

Not for me

I purchased few shades online include this Milan shade.

Firstly, this color is not for me, its slightly deeper than what it shows in the bottle that makes me look older, but other colors were fine. Maybe because i have dark lips with purple undertone, it still looks awesome on my friend's by the way.

Secondly, i have lot of fine lines on my lips. Its ok when its first appplied but it looks awful when it dries out.

Thirdly, the smell is quite strong, and u have to watch mirror to apply. The texture is smooth like mouse, and when u apply it covers everything like you do a painting.

Doesnt last long on me, have to re-apply after eating or drinking.

For those reasons i dont like it, but my friend who doesnt have problem like me she love it. Maybe it would depends on person.

Wish I'd bought more!

I'd heard a lot about these, and so when I spotted a NYX stand during a last-minute dash through Target on holiday I knew I had to grab at least one. I wish I'd bought more!!

I have this in the shade Antwerp, a very pretty, wearable medium pink. The first thig I noticed when I unscrewed the cap was the smell - yummy vanilla, which doesn't last once the product dries but damn it smells good to start!

I'm not normally a fan of doe-foot applicators but it's the perfect choice for this lip cream, allowing for a quick and easy application, perfect for touch-ups!

The formula glides on wet like a cream to dry to a matte finish. The pigmentation is fantastic, you only need one coat of colour. It does take a while to dry so avoid eating, drinking or rubbing your lips together for a bit! Once it is dry, it's pretty long-lasting, a good few hours through light drinking and eating, but worth reapplying after lunch or hot drinks.

I found the formula is slightly drying but not to the extent other matte lippies I have tried. I normally apply a non-gooey lip balm a while before first like Nivea Lip Butter or Sierra Bees before applying it which helps. If dryness hits then I'll apply it over as well but it does unset the formula so it's more like a cream lippy.

I've been wearing this almost every day since I purchased it and will be keeping an eye out online for specials to pick up some more.

Tips: This picks up any imperfections so exfolliate well before application for a smooth surface.

Love it!

I have this in Addis Ababa which is a fuchsia pink. It is a gorgeous colour and no too "out there".

What I love: - the texture, when applying, it feels like a soft mousse, it goes on rather 'slippery' and then it dries to a complete matte - has reasonable lasting power, will last through a meal so long its not a greasy one! - cheap and affordable and comes in a variety of shades - awesome applicator, easy to use - doesn't run, lip liner not required (for me anyways!) - not drying on the lips, doesn't feel 'heavy' either - has a slight scent to it - kind of like vanilla

What I don't like: - not overly opaque on one application, but it does have good coverage/color payoff if you apply a "touch up" layer after it dries

Super amazing lip product!

So many companies are coming out with liquid lipsticks but these will always be my favourites. They have so many amazing colours, ranging from nudes, to dark purples, to bright pinks. They are a light mousse formula and they smell so so good. They are super long wearing and comfortable to wear. They're light and soft but still matte. I don't find them drying at all. They are also really affordable and they last all day so you don't need to reapply.

Lasting power but drying

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.

You need perfect lips to pull this off

I bought the colours Stockholm and Sydney whilst in Malaysia because they were dirt and couldnt resist them because of the hype around them. Stockholm is a nude with a peachy tone and Sydney is a baby pink colour. Yes I love my neutral colour.

This review is centered around my lips and if you dont have the same dry and crack lips as me then you wont be happy because this products has been so hyped and it seems like everybody loves it. Not me.

The formulation is a liquid that turns into a matte but its not a solid matte. Its a velvet matte consistency that could feel quite fury at times when it dries on my lips.

My lips are naturally dried and cracked and I do use tonnes of products to combat the dryness but these lipstick is like a crack seeker! You could have tiniest amount of imperfection in your lips and this lipstick will find it and expose it. Believe people will think you dont care for your lips. Your lips have to be absolutely perfect and well moisturised for the lipstick to look amazing on you. I have friends who dont suffer from dry lips and this lipstick looks amazing on them.

I dont find these to long wearing either and if your lips are like mine these turn into a sticky consistency right at the end of lips in the middle. Thats gross. I didnt want to give these away because I can see potential in them so instead of wearing them alone I will swipe some over another matte lipstick. This is only combination that works for me and makes these lipsticks shine.

Unfortunately I wont be purchasing anymore of these as they dont work for me and are not right right for my dry lips.

Tips: Dont invest in these if your lips are not naturally beautiful

Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

I love matte lipsticks so i was automatically drawn to this product. The lighter shades are so delicate/pastel like and the darker shades are very vampire like. Similar to the wet n wild mega last lipsticks, this product is great for the price. Some matte lip creams are on the expensive side but these ones are not. The formula goes on comfortably, they are not drying and feel velvety on the lips. The colours go on very pigmented aswell. Being a person with small lips, applying lipstick can be difficult for me but the applicator of these allows me to carve the desired shape I want without a big smudgy mess. However I still like to use a lip liner just to ensure my application is nice. These lipsticks are so affordable and I wish they sold them in store in New Zealand! I have four of them and want to order more already!

Tips: My only recommendation would be to watch some lip swatch videos of these before purchasing as some of the colors are quite similar (eg stockholm and london).

okish...

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...

Gorgeous pigmented lips!

The best thing about these products is the colour range and how beautiful the clours are when you put them on. They are super pigmented, long wearing and unlike many other matte lip ranges, this stays slightly creamy.

Tips: Lip line and lip balm your lips in prep!
