NYX Lipstick Swatches.

Ok so I am really far behind on this post.. The joys of full time employment eh? Anyways lets move on from my obvious lack of blogging skills and delve into the wonderful world of makeup, lipsticks to be exact. I promised you guys a lip swatch post of my previous NYX purchase but again my camera skills are awful and the pictures looked crap. So now you can see them all swatched on my lovely pale hand. :D 

I will start with the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. These are by far my favourite product from NYX so far. These lip creams are smooth and creamy and not drying at all. I recently wore the colour Prague on a trip to Dublin and the colour lasted from 10 am until 5pm when I ate some dinner. After dinner it had faded slightly on the inner rim of my mouth. Nothing a little touch up couldn't fix. I have five shades altogether now, I already had the colour Tokyo so I swatched it along with my newer ones for you to see. 


L-R Tokyo, San Paulo, Prague, Copenhagen, Transylvania

Next is the Butter Glosses which are probably the most talked about thing in the last year or so. i personally love them and think they are a great gloss. A little sticky I wont lie but that does help them to last a good bit longer so WIN?

L-R Red Velvet, Creme Brulee, Eclair, Apple Strudel, Vanilla Cream Pie, Peaches and Cream, Raspberry Tart

Following on from the Butter Glosses are the Butter Lipsticks. Equally as amazing in my opinion. Super creamy and pigmented with a great shade range, whats not to love? 

L-R Hubba Bubba, Fun Size, Cotton Candy, Candy Buttons, Lollies


L-R Big Cherry, Taffy, Little Susie, Fireball, Razzle, Sweet Tart, JuJu


Last but not least are the Matte Lipsticks. I love matte lipsticks especially for darker colours as they just look so much nicer to me. Out of the two NYX ones the Perfect Red one was the best. The paler shade called Hippie Chic looked awful on me and just did not sit great on the lips. What are your thoughts on matte colours? Do you love or loathe them?

L-R Hippie Chic, Perfect Red

Have you tried any of these lip colours before?

Lets Talk Lipsticks.

NYX Matte Lipsticks



I recently made a small purchase off of CherryCulture. Small meaning I bought 22 lipsticks.. *slaps wrist. I have been trying forever to get my hands on the NYX butter lipsticks and I finally spotted them on CherryCulture. I picked up 12 of them and I must say they are amazing. The texture is so smooth and creamy. I will admit, however, that the lighter shades seem to sit in the lines of your lips, on me anyways. There is a great range of colours also, 22 to be exact. A great mix of nudes, pinks and reds. I also picked up four more shades of Butter glosses, I already have three of the shades. These are lovely on there own or on top of a lipstick. They are the slightest bit tacky but still super smooth on the lips. 

I already own one of the Soft Matte Lip creams in Tokyo but when I spotted the darker shades I knew I had to have them. I am a sucker for a vampy lip. NYX must have changed the formula of these because I found they were much easier to apply and a little creamier too, not totally matte. I did however find that the darkest shade I picked up, Transylvania, was a little harder to get looking nice on the lips, but with a little work it ends up looking really pretty. 

Last but not least are the Matte Lipsticks. I only picked up two of these and I do like them, although I do find the paler shade looks a little gross on my lips. My lips are forever dried and flaky. I will be doing a seperate post showing all of these swatched on my lips, so keep an eye out for that if you are interested in any of these products.


Have you tried any of these lip products? What is your favourite NYX makeup product?
