NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

So many companies are coming out with liquid lipsticks but these will always be my favourites. They have so many amazing colours, ranging from nudes, to dark purples, to bright pinks. They are a light mousse formula and they smell so so good. They are super long wearing and comfortable to wear. They're light and soft but still matte. I don't find them drying at all. They are also really affordable and they last all day so you don't need to reapply.

I recently went on a NYX haul when I was in the States and bought the Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen which is a dark, berry red.

The consistency is a little on the thick side but not too thick. It's pigmented but I did need to add a couple of coats to really get a good payoff.

The lasting power of this product is awesome, I'll give it that. I only needed to reapply twice throughout the entire day - and that was with client visits and drinking a lot of coffee, so that's a bonus.

However for me - it went patchy around the inside of my lips and got a bit cloggy.

I bought the colours Stockholm and Sydney whilst in Malaysia because they were dirt and couldnt resist them because of the hype around them. Stockholm is a nude with a peachy tone and Sydney is a baby pink colour. Yes I love my neutral colour.

This review is centered around my lips and if you dont have the same dry and crack lips as me then you wont be happy because this products has been so hyped and it seems like everybody loves it. Not me.

The formulation is a liquid that turns into a matte but its not a solid matte. Its a velvet matte consistency that could feel quite fury at times when it dries on my lips.

My lips are naturally dried and cracked and I do use tonnes of products to combat the dryness but these lipstick is like a crack seeker! You could have tiniest amount of imperfection in your lips and this lipstick will find it and expose it. Believe people will think you dont care for your lips. Your lips have to be absolutely perfect and well moisturised for the lipstick to look amazing on you. I have friends who dont suffer from dry lips and this lipstick looks amazing on them.

I dont find these to long wearing either and if your lips are like mine these turn into a sticky consistency right at the end of lips in the middle. Thats gross. I didnt want to give these away because I can see potential in them so instead of wearing them alone I will swipe some over another matte lipstick. This is only combination that works for me and makes these lipsticks shine.

Unfortunately I wont be purchasing anymore of these as they dont work for me and are not right right for my dry lips.

I have heard and seen lots of reviews online. I honestly accepted that the reviews really pushed me to get some. The pigmentation is good and the price is even better but it is not what I expected. First warning... who ever uses this lip cream must have good moisturized lips... applying on dry lips will give a fully trashy look. Start moisturising your lips now girls loll!!!

I could rave about these all day. I have the colours Tokyo (cool toned baby pink) and Monte Carlo (a cool-toned red - DUPE FOR MAC'S RUBY WOO!).

The formula isn't drying AT ALL - I've had so many problems with other products that dry to a matte finish being so drying on the lips. These NYX ones are so moisturising, like you can still rub your lips together once the cream is on.

They are slightly sheer but the product is buildable so just slap on a layer, let it dry then put another one on. For the price of the product I can totally dismiss the fact it's a bit sheer.

These last like hours... as long as you aren't drinking or eating. As soon as you touch anything to your lips you are going to need to reapply.

The applicator actually makes it really easy to apply. I thought I would need a lip brush but as long as you have a lipliner on you're good to go. It's an angled sponge tip, the same one they use for the butter gloss.

The best thing about these products is the colour range and how beautiful the clours are when you put them on. They are super pigmented, long wearing and unlike many other matte lip ranges, this stays slightly creamy.

These are hydrating, goes on smoothly and don't flake. They do not last as long but for the price it is worth it. I have the colours Stockholm, Cairo and Toyko and these are super blendable with other lip products and the colour pay off it really good which makes these really versatile. Even though they are hydrating if you have dry lips and there are cracks in them then it will definitely show up

When i first got this, i expected it to be a bit chalky and drying, because of the matte finish. I got something completely different - and was very positively surprised! The formular is AMAZING! It glides on and is very smooth - reminds me of chocolate mousse :P The colour range is beautiful and they are so moistourizing and lovely.

I bought two shades from crush cosmetics. I love how they go on ,they apply very smoothly and feel nice on the lips, even the colour pay-off is great. But after an hour of application it starts to feel dry and rough on my lips,so I then have to apply lip gloss over it so it doesn't look tacky.
