Review: NYX Lipsticks



Hello everyone!

I've been super occupied with school, and life ....and, well, I've been lazy :P Hence the lack of updates.
Today, I will be doing short reviews on some NYX lipsticks that I currently own. I purchased them from my local drugstores, online, and IMATS =).

Bare lips


The following three lipsticks are very similar in their formula:
  • Very moisturizing; no lipbalm is required before application, unless used during winter
  • Very pigmented; leaves a nice, creamy finish

Pumpkin Pie

This is a nice warm-toned coral nude shade.


Tea Rose


This colour is very similar to Fig, expect it is more on the purple side.


Fig

This colour is very similar to Tea Rose, except it is more on the bright pink side. My white balance is actually  off in this photo (sorry about that >.<), so it looks cool toned.


Vitamin

I'm not a big fan of this lipstick. Although moisturizing, it comes off quite sheer and glossy. It's not very pigmented on the lips.

Vintage

This is a nice light orange lipstick. If you're looking for a bright coloured lipstick I recommend this one for starters. It isn't too bold.


Strawberry Daiquiri

This is matte red lipstick with a warm undertone. I enjoy this lipstick because I am able to use it without worrying about my lips looking chapped compared to other matte lipsticks (like the Revlon Matte Lipsticks. I really don't like the formula of those). It's not dry at all.


Thanks for stopping by =) I hope this was useful in some way.
