Given the chance to go there, I would! In a heartbeat! But due to lack of resources (like most of us are), I guess the next best thing I can devour is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp.

Antwerp is a warm coral shade. I love this shade because it's not intimidatingly bright like your usual orange, yet it's still vibrant enough to lighten up your face.
This shade is perfect for spring/summer: it's girly, youthful, and fresh.

Because the shade is light, girls with pigmented lips (represent, y'all!), we need to apply it generously. I think it took me 3-4 layers so it will completely cover my dark lips.
PROS: The color is adorable and wearable, it's matte, handy, and affordable. The opacity and longevity are decent.
CONS: If you're like me who has pigmented lips, you will need to apply a little more product to get the right opacity. When it turns totally matte, the lines on your lips will be a bit defined so exfoliate your puckers and always apply a lip balm.
VERDICT: 4 out of 5 CHILIS! This is almost perfect. It's just that my lips are pigmented so I have to apply generously to achieve the opacity that I want.
