NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

I was so excited to receive this product, one of my favourite youtubers raved about it, unfortunately when I tried it I found the product to be horrendously drying on my lips (and I am used to Matte formulas, I own a variety of other Matte lip products) I actually found them uncomfortable to wear. The shade I got was Buenos Aries and to be honest I wasn't that fussed on the colour. As for moisturising, NYX please! Definitely not!

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 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.

Splashstore had a sale on this year. I had these soft mattes on my wishlist for some time now. I seen them hyped up on instagram . I definately needed to give this formula a try.

I chose Addis Baba a bright pink and Amsterdam a bright red. The packaging comes in a clear tube with a soft matte black lid. The doe foot on the applicator is soft sponge that is slightly arched on the tip. The formula is super soft and creamy like whipped butter. It smells like subtle sweet cherries.

I found applying it easy to move across my lips. It's quite opaque and needs building. It's not very pigmented. With eating and drinking it makes an awful mess. Colour was transferring everywhere. Out of all my matte lipsticks this was the messiest of them all.

I had high hopes for this as everyone love. It does need applying throughout the day as it's easily transferable. I most likely would not purchase this one again. I think the Butterglosses were better than this.

Got this in a haul with my friend from Cherry Culture.... I like my other NYX lip products so thought would give a go as have never tried mattes and was excited for the coral colour I ordered. When applying, I could instantly feel how drying it was! It showed all the fine lines in my lips and the colour did wash out my complexion. Really didn't like the feel on my lips and left an usual taste (not like the yummy butter glosses).
