Review : Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams

Hello there!

     You know what? I never actually paid attention on Lipsticks back then, I don't even like wearing one.. My makeup bag actually contained a powder and a mascara. But after the invasion of Beauty gurus on YouTube, Beauty blogs, magazines and college classmates, Lipsticks became my beauty staple! I've come to realize that it's not that I don't need it, I just didn't understand its importance. If you are a girl who wear and loves makeup, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. It gives the face a whole new level of look... You can actually look like a sweetheart and transform into a rebel chic by just changing the shade or type of your Lipstick. Some people are actually famous because of what and how they wear their favorite shade. I believe that every lipstick was made with its own personality.


      One of my favorite brands when it comes to lipstick is Nyx Cosmetics. Why? some of you guessed it! They are amazing and AFFORDABLE. They also have a wide range of shades and wide variety to choose from. They have matte, gloss, satin finish types and etc. The Soft Matte Lip Creams were my favorite, I think they are one of the best formulated affordable (or what others called Drugstore) lipsticks!


What I love about them are:

1. very pigmented, the color you see in the tube is exactly the color when applied on lips
2. non-drying, no irritations, creamy & smells really gooooood :)
3. matte finish, but gives softness to the lips (oh that's why it's called soft matte cream :D)
4. I like the brush applicator.
5. a tube lasted me a long time
6. the colors suit my skin tone, great shades!
7. Accessible, lots of Online shops sell these/ and you ca find these in some malls like ATC and Affordable, 270-300php.

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in TOKYO

      This is more like a washed out pink. It looks great with bright eye makup or the popular smokey eyes. Tokyo is actually a shade that is hard to pull off especially when you're not used to wearing washed lips (guilty here).

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in MONTE CARLO

      I actually bought this shade because I was looking for a red lippy with a blue undertone, and I thought this was it, well apparently Monte Carlo is a red shade with a pink undertone. I still love it. :) I think I'm gonna pair this with simple eye makeup because it already gives a strong color. But if you feelin bold and sexey, you can actually pair this with smokey megan foxy eyes! :D

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in ADDIS ABABA

      I don't have a picture of this because I lost mine when I had my internship in Mandaluyong T.T It's actually my second favorite in the SMLC range. It's a bright hot pink color. I usually just wipe one coat with a light hand to tone it down a bit.
