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 picked this up in the Beauty Vault a while ago, thanks BR! I am not a huge lipstick fan as I have such thin lips, but I like to experiment every now and then.

It comes in an 8ml tube with a screw on lid that has a doe foot applicator.  The formula is smooth and creamy and glides on easily. It dries down quite quickly and has a lovely scent, it reminds me of baking.

I got the shade Abu Dhabi, a lovely nude beige. I quite like it and it suits my fair skin well. I find if I don't prep my lips beforehand then this sinks into every line and doesn't look very good. So I have to do a lip scrub then apply some lip balm before applying the lipstick.

It lasts a good 4 or so hours on me before I start to see some wear and need to touch up. It does come off a bit after eating and drinking but nothing really major.

Overall it is quite a nice matte lippie and I would be keen to try other colours. It has an affordable price tag. Just remember to prep your lips well.

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.

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!

These were my favourite years ago, I owned heaps of different shades. I've recently bought a few shades and was surprised to find I love them now as much as I used to.

These are great for everyday use. I use these with lipliner and sometimes without. They are super lightweight and don't dry my lips out. They are easy to apply and love the many different shades that I have tried. They are not the most pigmented, so I never use them when I'm going out. But would highly recommend for everyday use!

The consistency feels nice and the product smells good. Unfortunately this clings and cracks a little when my lips are dryer. I'm also not getting a nice clean edge so maybe a liner and balm are needed underneath.

I have to be honest if I saw this on the shelf I probably won’t buy it as I’m not too fond of NYX’s lip products. I actually got this as a gift and only got to trying it recently. I have mine in the shade Madrid which is a rich plum color that may be lighter or darker depending on your natural lip color. It’s not at all the same as the color shown on the packaging so best to try it out on your lip if you’re unsure. When I saw the texture on the wand the first time I thought it seemed a bit dry but it was in fact very creamy upon application. The wand itself is pretty easy to use and I tend to use the tip to line my lips since I don’t have a lip liner of a similar shade. You definitely need to wait a short while for it to dry to avoid smudging/transferring this everywhere. After drying it doesn’t smudge that easily but a little bit of the color comes off when I lightly wipe with finger which is normal. When I drink on a glass of water I only see a little bit of transfer. It feels weightless to the lips and a bit hydrating in fact (I feel). It doesn’t last too long though. It started wearing off after about 4 hours with a slight oily meal in between. It was overall a pleasant surprise for me. I feel that it’s one of those hassle-free matte lipsticks which I like so I will repurchase if I find a shade that I like but don’t already have.
