NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

Got this in a haul with my friend from Cherry Culture.... I like my other NYX lip products so thought would give a go as have never tried mattes and was excited for the coral colour I ordered. When applying, I could instantly feel how drying it was! It showed all the fine lines in my lips and the colour did wash out my complexion. Really didn't like the feel on my lips and left an usual taste (not like the yummy butter glosses).

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.

I bought two shades from crush cosmetics. I love how they go on ,they apply very smoothly and feel nice on the lips, even the colour pay-off is great. But after an hour of application it starts to feel dry and rough on my lips,so I then have to apply lip gloss over it so it doesn't look tacky.

Splashstore had a sale on this year. I had these soft mattes on my wishlist for some time now. I seen them hyped up on instagram . I definately needed to give this formula a try.

I chose Addis Baba a bright pink and Amsterdam a bright red. The packaging comes in a clear tube with a soft matte black lid. The doe foot on the applicator is soft sponge that is slightly arched on the tip. The formula is super soft and creamy like whipped butter. It smells like subtle sweet cherries.

I found applying it easy to move across my lips. It's quite opaque and needs building. It's not very pigmented. With eating and drinking it makes an awful mess. Colour was transferring everywhere. Out of all my matte lipsticks this was the messiest of them all.

I had high hopes for this as everyone love. It does need applying throughout the day as it's easily transferable. I most likely would not purchase this one again. I think the Butterglosses were better than this.

I was so excited to receive this product, one of my favourite youtubers raved about it, unfortunately when I tried it I found the product to be horrendously drying on my lips (and I am used to Matte formulas, I own a variety of other Matte lip products) I actually found them uncomfortable to wear. The shade I got was Buenos Aries and to be honest I wasn't that fussed on the colour. As for moisturising, NYX please! Definitely not!

I really loved the look of these shades and the consistency mousse like before I applied it. However even though it had medium coverage I found that some shades I had to layer quite a lot to gain the full pigmented colour I wanted. When the liquid dried to a matte consistency, especially with a few layers in it cracked and went a bit crumbly which wasn't satisfactory. It's staying power was okay but had to be re-applied throughout the day to avoid just the outline of the lipstick.

It smells so great and is really creamy. Easy to use, but starts looking cracked and awful a few hours in. Makes my lips feel really gross. Its not very pigmented and can look very streaky, i wait till the first coat is almost dry then apply a second to get as much colour as possible.

The consistency feels nice and the product smells good. Unfortunately this clings and cracks a little when my lips are dryer. I'm also not getting a nice clean edge so maybe a liner and balm are needed underneath.

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.
