If you’ve ever complained about the original NYX butter glosses lacking in pigmentation then you may want to try this range. Be warned, the pigmentation is insane! I bought my lot from Farmers as individuals ($16.00) and in sets ($28.00).
I’ve always loved NYX’s packaging for their glosses; they’re fun in colour and great for travel where you could pack a whole bunch and still have room for other makeup items. I love the soft paddle-shaped applicator because it’s flexible so that you can manoeuvre it around the lips effortlessly.
The glosses are extremely pigmented where one swipe is more than enough to give you colourful glossy lips. I don’t find the glosses sticky or tacky which is great however just like any gloss it transfers like crazy when in contact with anything. It has a richer vanilla scent than the original butter glosses and a thicker and creamier consistency.
I find the darker shades (Black Cherry - a deep purple, Oatmeal Raisin - a deep mauve) patchier in application so I have to reapply more often than the more “subdued” shades I own (Chocolate Crepe - a nude mauve and Toasted Marshmallow - berry mauve). Over time the product does bleed so I apply a wash of lipliner underneath to help contain the product as much as possible.
Overall the glosses are more of a “fun” item for me to wear as opposed to something that I would wear regularly (like the more wearable butter glosses) but if you’re looking for something colourful, glossy and fun to wear for a few hours then perhaps these are right up your alley.
They smell incredible and are a great price, amazing colour range and NOT DRYING. Colour doesn’t stay on long but can’t complain for what you spend ( and smell totally makes up for it )
Tips: Keep it in your handbag for reapplication
