NYX Lip Product Overview

Today I want to talk about the NYX Lip products that I own, I think that lip products (such as the butter glosses) are what NYX is most known for, and for good reason...

First I want to tell you about the butter glosses:

This is what NYX says on their website:

Buttery soft and silky smooth, our scrumptious new Butter Lip Gloss tastes as sweet as a sugar cookie—and makes your lips look downright luscious. Swipe it on alone or over your favorite lipstick for creamy sheer to medium coverage that melts onto your lips and is never sticky.

I definitely agree that they are soft and smooth, they smell really nice (like cake!) but if you don't like scented lip products don't worry because it is not overbearing and you can't smell it once it is on. It is not sticky at all. They are definitely my favourite lip gloss formula. I really want to try the Intense Butter Glosses but they are not out in Australia yet- once I get my hand on them I will do a review. I have 3 of the shades:

The first shade is Strawberry Parfait (BLG01), this shade is really nice, you don't need a lipstick under it as with 2 coats it becomes opaque. This is a great pink shade and I wear it a lot



The next shade I have is Tiramisu (BLG07). This one is a really nice everyday colour, its one you can put on and know it will look good no matter what your other makeup looks like.



The final shade I have is Vanilla Creme Pie (BLG09), this one is definitely my favourite I wear it all the time! It is one that is a "my lips but better shade". It is also great to add on top of lipsticks.



So overall I would definitely recommend the butter glosses, I definitely want to get more shades in the future.

Next I will talk about the Mega Shine Lip Glosses. This is what NYX says on their website:

Kiss me quick! Our signature Mega Shine Lip Gloss delivers shine, moisture and softness and envelops lips with glistening color. The finish is both creamy and steamy and ensures knockout glamour. Available in 39 sinful shades.

I don't really enjoy this formula, I find that it feels very sticky, it is glossy but not as glossy as a lot of formulas out there. I don't like the smell, but it doesn't linger so that doesn't bother me too much. I find them uncomfortable on the lips and I don't wear it a lot because of that. I only have 1 shade so I can't be sure if it is just the shade I have but I think it is the formula.



So overall I do not recommend this formula. Please let me know if you have had a different experience with this formula!

Next I want to talk about the Soft Matte Lip Creams. This is what NYX says on their website:

Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturising.

I definitely agree that it is a new sort of formula. It is unlike anything that I have ever tried before. I find that it is very comfortable, the shade I have can insinuate the dryness on your lips so I would recommend exfoliating your lips before hand. But they are very comfortable and they don't make your lips dry. 




The next product I want to talk about is the XTreme Lip Cream. This is what NYX says on their website:

Beautify your lips with this velvety rich lip cream that provides extreme pigmentation with a silky and glossy finish. This lip cream is a hybrid of lipstick and lip gloss with intense pigmentation all-in-one. Complete your head-turning look with the variety of luscious colors.

I find that they are very pigmented but I have a light shade and I feel like it looks very strange on me, maybe it would look better on darker skin tones. I really don't like the way that it looks. It has a thick feeling on the lips which I don't enjoy.

The shade I have is XLC11 Nude Peach:


So I think that I would recommend these but not the lighter shades unless you have a darker skin tone. Please tell me if you have tried this formula and what your experience was.

The next product I want to talk about is the Extra Creamy Round Lipsticks. This is what NYX says on their website:

NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick is our classic lipstick for all occasions. The mineral-based emollient formula offers a beautiful velvet texture, saturated color and it resists wear and smudging. It’s your go-to lipstick. From Pure Nude to Pink Lyric to Chic Red, Round Lipstick is available in a jaw-dropping variety of shades.

I think that this is a comfortable formula, I have a dark colour and I find that that particular colour can be very patchy. I can't be sure if it is the colour or the formula as I don't own any other colours. I find that I have to put on a lot to have a even application. I am very curious to try another colour to know whether it is the colour or the formula.



The final product that I want to talk about is the Butter Lipsticks, here is what NYX says on their website:

Pamper your lips with a hydrating kiss of smooth Butter Lipstick in 22 luxurious shades. The delicate texture of satin fused with the high color saturation creates an even finish on lips that’s long-wearing and beautiful.

I really enjoy these, they feel very comfortable and nourishing but they are not very long lasting. I don't personally mind reapplying but if you do you may not enjoy them.  

I have 2 shades the first is BLS03 Snow Cap which is a really pretty nude:


The next one is BLS14 Taffy which is a really pretty pink:
