⭑NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM⭑
Matte lipsticks and liquid lipsticks have become one of my obsessions. Nyx Cosmetics has always been one of my favourite drugstore brands and I just wanted to share this product with everyone and I am sure that anyone who knows NYX would definitely know about their "NYX soft matte lip cream" but I would still like to give my thoughts on this product.PACKAGING
The packaging is small and travel-friendly and has a doe-foot applicator. There is 14g of products, however, I find that sometimes the lip cream does get slightly wasted on the applicator but there is a ring around the opening of the bottle which is supposed to prevent that from happening. The shade names are written on the bottom of the package as shown on the image below and the lid has a nice matte velvet feel to it which is very comfortable when holding and applying the product but does have a tendency to get quite dirty after a while with finger prints and makeup stains ( but that's just me! I'm very messy)
PRICE
These cost only £6.00 from Boots ( LINK HERE ) but can be found in stores such as Selfridges or even other online stores, for example, ASOS, Cultbeauty, Feelunique. The price is very affordable in comparison to other lip products out there especially matte lipstick and liquid lipstick tends to be quite pricey.
SHADES AVAILABLE
There are 34 shades available which are huge! you are bound to find a shade suitable for you and for every occasion. I have three shades Rome, Cannes and Prague. Cannes was my first ever SMLC and I am obsessed with it, it is a 'natural' lip colour perfect for every day. Rome is also similar to Cannes but reminds me of Gerard 1995 it has the 90's mauve feel to it.I love how the shades names are after towns and cities which have helped me in my geography after doing research on each shade names.
Other shades that are available: ABU DHABI , ADDIS ABABA , AMSTERDAM , ANTWERP , ATHENS , BERLIN , BUDAPEST ,BUENOS AIRES ,CAIRO ,COPENHAGEN ,DUBAI ,HAVANA ,IBIZA ,ISTANBUL ,LONDON ,MADRID ,MANILA ,MILAN ,MONTE CARLO ,MOROCCO ,MOSCOW ,PARIS ,SAN JUAN ,SAN PAULO ,SEOUL ,STOCKHOLM ,SYDNEY ,TOKYO ,TRANSYLVANIA ,VANCOUVER ,ZURICH.
SWATCH AND FORMULATION
This has a unique formula compared to other liquid lipsticks it is neither a lipgloss nor a lipstick but has a very creamy formulation yet dries completely matte but is also very comfortable on the lips and not drying at all. I am not a fan of products that contain a lot of ingredients and this does have a huge ingredients list, however, there is also beeswax that is a natural wax that gives the creamy waxy formula making the product that extra moisturising.
LASTING POWER
The lasting power of these are good but since these are creamy they do tend to wear off after eating or drinking unlike liquid lipsticks that are more drying, however, can last 2-3 hours otherwise.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Creamy but pigmented! I actually really love these for the days where I want a softer less opaque lip compared to liquid lipsticks where they do tend to dry out my lips and feel really heavy whereas these are super comfortable and moisturising too and they have such natural everyday type of shades, but maybe I could try out their bolder shades next!
