I recently ordered NYX products from Cherry culture for the first time when they were running 40% off sale. Perfect timing, I went crazy and ordered loads of NYX products to try. Pricing of butter lipstick is reasonable and affordable. Why we don't get these beauties in NZ in our local store I wonder. They will sell out in no time for sure.
I bought two shades in butter lipstick range - Little susie (pink) and Hunk (purple). Both these colors are gorgeous and really stand out. The lipstick literally melts on my lips when I swatch, it glides smoothly. I didn't have to apply any lip balm as the lipstick is so moisturising and buttery that it keeps my lips hydrated for long. I have been playing with the brightness of the shades for past few days. Both the colors I could either go light for daily work wear or I could build the color to bright shades for evening/party wear. The color lasts long on my lips which is great.
I love the packing of these lipstick range, they are the true colors shown on the cover as well. The lipstick as such doesn't have any smell or taste, I was expecting it to smell or taste fruity.
I will definitely buy more of these buttery lipsticks. NYX has so many shades to chose from and they are reasonably priced to own one too many.
I saw some great reviews and swatches of these and considering they are affordable I went a little crazy and brought 9 from Urban Outfitters site.
I am very pleased with the colours I brought. There is maybe 1 or 2 I could do without. I haven't tested them all to great extent but the ones I have have been what I expected. They claim to be long lasting, I found they do last better then other cheap brands I've tried (especially better then the NYX round lipsticks!) without eating I found them find for 2-3 hours. Once I eat though all bets are off. Which is fine, they're affordable!
The packaging is a little tacky with all the writing on it, but the clear middle showing the colour is useful.
They're super creamy! Super hydrating. They glide on, some more pigmented then others but I'll get into that next as I list the colours.
I have (from light to dark):
POPS, a nude pinky beige colour. Nicely pigmented, hydrating and creamy.
TAFFY, a pretty light pink. It's quite sheer I find compared to the others. But just as creamy and hydrating.
LITTLE SUSIE, darker mid pink. Nicely pigmented. It's my favourite pink out of the bunch I got. A very sweet and pretty colour.
SWEET TART, is very similar to Little Susie but more sheer (but build-able) it's a touch darker too.
RAZZLE, is a bright fuchsia pink. Pigmented and creamy.
JUJU, I first saw this colour worn by Shaaanxo in a video which looked really pretty. It's a red but very wearable as it's lighter then most reds I've seen. This one is nicely pigmented too.
MARY JANE, is a true red shade, darker then Juju. Its one of my favourites even though it scares me a little. I say this as I steer more towards matte reds due to them being easier to wear (more long lasting) but this one is great as it's more hydrating then a matte. I just need to be more careful and able to do regular touch ups.
HOT TAMALE, is a loud true orange. If you like orange this is definitely one to try. It's very pigmented! I haven't been brave enough to wear this out yet!
HULK, is a dark purple, with a slight red to it. Now this looks super dark in the bullet but applies quite sheer, which is disappointing. But it's build-able! It's not what I expected considering all the other dark shades were true to colour and pigmented.
So like a lot of product lines, there are hits and misses but from my collection they have all been creamy and hydrating and even the sheer ones have been build-able.
I think these are a lot better then some other lipsticks in this price range and the colour selection is awesome. The colours are very wearable and universal in my opinion.
Tips: Using a lip pencil would help these lippies heaps, especially for the darker shades. Being so creamy has it's downfalls when it comes to it's longevity.
