NYX Round Lipstick in Nyx - Review, Photos, Swatches

Tweet

NYX Round Lipstick in Nyx is my favorite drugstore orange lipstick. It's creamy with hints of shimmer in it. I totally agree that it deserves to be named "Nyx" because the color is just pretty. It's not totally bright; more like a tangerine or dark orange that's jazzed up with golden shimmer.

PROS: It's creamy, opaque, and the color is fab! And it's REALLY affordable, too!

CONS: My only problem with NYX Round Lipsticks is the longevity. Is it because they're really creamy? I don't know. One should probably apply a primer first to extend it's wear.

VERDICT: 4 out of 5 CHILIS! This lipstick would have been perfect if only it's long wearing. But really, can you expect a lipstick this affordable to be as long wearing as MAC or other high-end brands? I don't think so.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp - Review, Photos, Swatches

Antwerp is renowned as being the diamond capital of the world. It is the second largest city and municipality in Belgium as well as the capital of the province of Flanders.(via Antwerp)

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.
