By now all my friends know about my fascination for red lipshades. There was a time when I could not even think of wearing a bright shade lipstick and was confined to light colour lip gloss and shades. A few days back a friend of mine went to Singapore for some official work (though she turned her official trip into a shopping one) and bought few gifts for me (so sweet of her) including an NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Amsterdam (name of the shade) which I asked her to get as it wasn’t available at Sephora Delhi. I know I could have waited and bought it from Delhi itself but the excitement of getting products from abroad is different. NYX is US brand but is available at Sephora and some websites too in India. Here is my experience with the product:
Packing: It comes in a standard lip gloss tube with a matte black cap. The product description and ingredients are mentioned on it. These lip creams come with a doe-foot sponge applicator.
Claims: It is not lipstick nor is it lip gloss. It is like nothing you have experienced before. It is a lipstick that goes on silky but loos soft matte.
Price: It is priced at INR 580 for 8ml.
Pros: You can buy NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream because
· The texture is velvety smooth that settles to a matte finish after a minute
· It is highly pigmented and a single coat gives you an opaque finish.
· It has an air whipped texture which kind of feels like a mousse.
· It smells deliciously of warm vanilla and you will have this strong urge of licking it every time you apply it.
· They are long lasting and can easily last for over 5 hours.
· It doesn’t bleed.
Cons: Availability can be an issue.
Tip: If you have dry lips, apply lip balm prior to application
Also scrub prior to application.
Rating: 4.5/5(-.5 because of unavailability) and I would buy it in other shades too.
