Are you still rocking your beautiful nudes and pink lips into the fall season? Well, as much as I love the plum pouts rising to the occasion recently, I love nude and pink lipsticks also. So for the ladies who love nudes and pinks as much as I do, and for those of you who aren't quite ready to step into that deeply-hued lip-rocking territory, I have a treat for you. Today I'm sharing a few NYX lipsticks that I love to wear in any season. Even before I became a big lipstick fan, I first played around with NYX lipsticks and found colors I was comfortable with wearing. For my non-lipstick wearers, I hope this post makes you want to try out a tube!
The NYX Round Lipsticks first appealed to me because they offered both "safe" shades and shocking shades of lipstick. I was in awe when I visited Cherry Culture for the first time to make a lipstick purchase. Afraid bright colors wouldn't compliment me at all, I decided on five lipsticks and clicked the BUY button. Two years have passed and the colors Darling, Thalia, Power, Strawberry Milk, and Narcissus are still among my favorite lipsticks.
♥My Thoughts♥
♥Packaging♥
The NYX Round Lipstick comes in sleek, black packaging. It is embossed with a pretty white font, distinguishing it from other lipsticks. At the top of the tube, each lipstick has its respective color and name printed on a sticker. I love this, because on some lipstick packaging it is not clear what the color is or the name wipes off over time.
♥Application♥
The NYX Round Lipstick goes on very smooth. It has a creamy consistency and gives great color payoff with just one swipe. The lighter colors, such as Strawberry Milk and Narcissus, tend to have a streaky consistency. One would have to play around with these colors a bit to get the desired consistency on to your lips. **For the light colors, I suggest filling in the lips with a nude colored lip pencil first, and blotting lipstick with a tissue after desired application.** Below are the swatches-- first with flash, then without flash.
♥Pros♥
1)Variety of colors- There are currently 144 shades of NYX Round Lipstick available. That means there is a shade or two or ten for everyone!
2) Budget-Friendly Price- These lippies are currently on sale at the Cherry Culture website for $2.99! Now is a good time to snatch these up!
3)Sleek packaging- As I mentioned up top, the packaging is boss. It has the clearly defined signature look of a higher-end lipstick for a fraction of the price.
4)Great color payoff- The lipstick delivers a big punch of color without drying. And for the price, I think it's a win-win!
♥Cons♥
1) Streaky consistency with lighter colors- As I explained earlier, the lighter colors tend to streak upon application. However, with careful application, this problem can be solved with ease.
2) The "off" flavor of the lipstick- I know this may not mean much to some, but I can't help but taste the faint flavor of fragrance or something when I apply this lipstick. This doesn't necessarily make it a deal-breaker, as many lipsticks have a distinctive smell or taste. But with wearing CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipsticks and MAC Lipsticks, one can become spoiled with using lipsticks of a sweet smell or "taste."
Would I repurchase?
I have and I will again! In fact, check me out wearing Thalia, my go-to nude lippie of the bunch.
