NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

I bought one of these spontaneously a while back when I was browsing at Farmers. I found the shade 'Stockholm' which appealed to me because it's a nude that is subtle, but gorgeous.

It doesn't last for ages, but I kind of prefer the fact that it doesn't stain your lips and you can just reapply when needed. It dries quite fast and looks really smooth on your lips. The price is very affordable!

I have a Nyt soft matte lip cream in Milan and God colour is very beautiful. The applicator is a nice applicator so applying the product onto my lips is easy. The lip cream is pigmented and there is a wide range of colours in this collection. The product doesn't last very long on the lips but I don't mind reapplying them every hour

Man I love this! :) it feels great on my lips and doesn't dry them out. From the ones that I've tried:

Pros: - Great pigment - Application is soft and creamy - Appears matte, but isn't dry - Has many shades - Smell is not over-powering - Affordable

Cons: - Can transfer somewhat... but that's only nitpicking

Would I buy this product again? YES :)

Would I recommend this product? Definitely!

This was the first matte lip cream I had ever tried. My sister came over to my home one day and she said that I had to try it out. The lip cream itself was very moisturising on the lip and it was true to its name, very creamy. The colours are very pigmented and vibrant. Though the staying power of these aren't the greatest, these are awesome lip creams for your buck.

I think the love for this product is universal, but I thought I'd share my opinion as well :)

This was the first liquid-ish type lipstick that I've tried. I had the colour Antwerp, Istanbul, and San Paulo.

Texture wise I think the name says it all, it is a cream textured liquid lipstick and it dries matte but not Dry matte like other liquid lipsticks (MUA, LA Girl).

The colours blend really well on the lips (no lines or cracks visible), and it is non-drying. It has a sweet vanilla scent that I loveee...

However, on me, it does fade after a meal just like a normal lipstick would. But as it is a creamy texture, you can just touch up and it will be good as new :)

This lipstick is alwaysss in my bag and I reach for it whenever I can't decide on what to wear. It's just so reliable, easy, and not fussy to wear.

I recently got this from makeup.co.nz and I'm so glad I did. I got the shade san paulo which is a nice darker pinky nude colour. I now get why people rave about this product so much.

It is indeed soft when applied on the lips and it's not sticky. The packaging is small and nice perfect to put in your bag.

I found that it applies quite well too with the applicator. You do need to go over your lips a few times to get the perfect opaque colour.

It doesn't last as long on my lips as much as I want to. However, it's still pretty good. I did have a curry the first time I wore this so it didn't last. However, when I was just out and about, it lasted much longer. It is slightly drying but I haven't tried a matte liquid lipstick that hasn't dried my lips after wearing it for a long time.

For the price, I think this is a great product and I would love to try other shades in the range.

I had been wanting to try these for a few months now until I was in the new Farmers store on Queen street and they have stocked NYX products. I picked up 2 Soft matte lip creams in Abu dhabi, it is a beige nude shade, I find you cant go wrong with nude shades.

The shape of the tube and applicator is very similar to their Butter gloss range except these have a black lid. Easy to open and tightens very easily.

I found you need to layer these a few times to get the full amount of colour. It comes out evenly and is very creamy, glides on like a dream. But the layers are very thin. I add 3-4 layers to get a good amount of colour on my lips. The wear time is 4-6 hours when your eating or drinking, only a small amount comes off in the middle of your lips.

If I have these on my lips for more than 6 hours it makes my lips feel very dry so I pop on some lip balm over the top just to make my lips feel not so shriveled.

There was another shade I've been wanting to try, I will be purchasing that one next. Overall the price and quality is good, you just need to be a bit patient to build up the shade.

Addis Ababa is a bright fuchsia, it reminds me of MAC Embrace Me. The tube appears to be a coloured plastic rather than clear so the tube colour isn't an accurate representation of what's inside with the tube appearing to be a slightly darker shade. I like that the black cap is matte, it makes it look like it could be a bit more expensive than it is. The applicator is a standard doe foot, it works fine and I'm able to apply it even if I don't have a lip brush on hand. I'm not sure if I got a dud but I noticed the scent went from something like sweet cake batter to nonexistent in about three months and the formula has started to clump a bit though it's still workable. I do find that I have to put on a few layers to get an opaque application without any streaking which is a bit of a hassle because it takes the product a while to set enough to be able to apply another layer. It doesn't really ever set to a matte finish and isn't as durable as I'd expected... I do like this lip cream but I think I'll try a few others and probably only purchase these again if I can get them for a steal.

I recently got given 3 of these for my birthday, and I was so excited because I've heard so many great things about these products on youtube.

I currently have San Paulo, Antwerp, and Addis Ababa. SP is described as a "plummy pink", Antwerp as a "mid-toned, yellow-toned pink", whilst AA is a "bright fuchsia". Frankly speaking, I feel like SP and Antwerp are quite similar in colour, except SP is obviously a touch darker.

First and most importantly, these babies smell SO good. I can't put my finger on it, but definitely something baked and caramel. Brownie points for the scent, nyx! Secondly, when you first apply, they really aren't kidding about going on soft. The formula plus the doe foot applicator ensures that, plus makes it all the more easy to glide over your lips.

The pigmentation is great also, but if you are looking for a pure matte liquid lipstick like Australis' velourlips or ABH, then this isn't really it. However, for what it's worth, these are pretty excellent as a step under.

Some downsides are that they're not transfer-proof, and they do tend to fade after awhile, but I generally don't mind re-application. Also, I feel like the colour of the tube isn't a replica of the colour of the formula. As someone who likes having that cohesiveness, it is slightly deterring.
