Swatches: NYX Fall Lip Colors! (Vampy Edition!)

Affordable Fall Lippies!

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by :-) I wanted to post some swatches on some NYX lip colors that are perfect for fall. I thought it would be helpful since certain colors may seem scary in the tube but amazing on the lips! Oh, btw, if you're interested in swatches and a review on the blushes you see above check out that post by clicking here! Let's get started!

First off is the NYX Butter Lipstick in Licorice! I love the butter lipstick formula, it glides on so smooth and keeps your lips moisturized throughout the day. This color is so pretty and perfect for the fall and holiday season! It has enough berry tones to make it wearable for day and night and it just makes your lips look fab! It's only $6 at Ulta, Target or the NYX website!

Next up are the three NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams! The formula is different from the butter lipsticks because they dry matte which makes them very long wearing! These are perfect for long days of work or for a night out because you don't need to touch up frequently. There's a shade for everyone from the cherry red to the deepest burgundy, depending on how bold you're feeling! These are also only $6 each!

From left to right:

*Monte Carlo- a cranberry red, really pretty and the ideal holiday shade! 

*Copenhagen- a rich plum shade, super gorgeous and my favorite! So opaque and creamy!

*Transylvania- a deep violet-burgundy. I was so excited for this color but it went on a bit patchy compared to any of the soft matte lip creams I own. For a better outcome you need to apply one layer, let it dry and apply a second one to avoid the unevenness. Stunning color nonetheless!

Hope these swatches were helpful if you've been eyeing the NYX lippies! I love NYX and how affordable the products are... plus those soft mattes lip creams smell like frosting c'mon haha. If you have any recomendations for fall lip colors leave them down below. For a moment there I was favoriting the 90's lip trend but we all know I can't say no to a vampy lip! ;-)

Bring On The Berries!

Ladies and Gentlemen: Fall is just around the corner!! Wohooo!! Fall is my favorite season ever! I love the chilly breeze, my combat boots and a good ol' vampy lip! I just can't wait to play with bolder makeup. Even though I have some favorite products that I used last year I wanted to haul a few new affordable items to add to my collection. I was in the market for a dusty rose and burgundy blush and I found it on nyxcosmetics.com . I was able to get 25% off my order using the coupon code WELCOME25. So if you're wanting to spruce up your fall makeup looks make sure to stop by the NYX site because you'll find everything you need.  During my online shopping extravaganza I also found some amazing shades of the Soft Matte Lip Creams plus a deep burgundy Butter Lipstick. I love the formulas for both of these lip products and I can't wait to use these in the near future. All you need is some winged liner and you're good to go for rest of fall!

Review: NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams!

Matte But Never Drying!

Ulta recently had an awesome sale on their NYX products, 40% off the entire line and I took advantage! I had my eye on these NYX Soft Mate Lip Creams for a while now so I picked up these two for an amazing price! These normally retail for $6 and come in 22 beautiful shades. The NYX site claims that these are neither a lipstick nor a gloss which is right on point. I couldn't come up with a way to describe them because its such a unique formula! Its truly a creamy consistency with great pigmentation that dries to a completely matte finish.

Application is super smooth and easy with the doe foot applicator. The formula seems to be on the thicker side at first glance but it's really a thin consistency once on. It's super comfortable and what really surprised me is that it doesn't dry out your lips one bit! Your lips stay moisturized and feeling amazing throughout the day. They do emphasize fine lines and such (not too much though!) but the formula doesn't make it worse like other lip products do. Another great thing about these is once they set they don't move! That makes them last a good 4 hours before you need to touch up.

These smell so yummy and sweet like... cheesecake! haha. It's definitely more noticeable than the NYX Butter Glosses so if you're sensitive to sweet scents you've been warned! Here are the lip swatches:

*Antwerp-  a midtone pink with a hint of coral, really pretty!

*Prague- a bright magenta/berry color, reminds me of a more wearable version of Mac's Rebel!

 

Bottom line: This is an amazing product! The formula is an A+ and the color range is gorgeous! For a night out this would be perfect because it stays on. I'm cant wait for another sale to pick up some other colors! The selling point for me is the fact that your lips stay moisturized throughout the day. So if you've been wanting to try out the matte look this product is the way to go! :-)
