NYX Lips

It's officially time for me to say it: I am in love with NYX lip products. Haven't met one I don't love.  My growing collection of their products are quickly becoming my quick/easy go-to lip products. They're super easy to apply, and I keep a few in my bag at all times. Some of them even replacing old favorites.
Shocking I know.

 First on my list of OH-MY-GOD-HOW-IS-THIS-BRAND-THIS-CHEAP-AND-STILL-THIS-GOOD List are the NYX Lip Creams. They don't last as long as the Sephora brand lip creams (I haven't found anything that does), but almost do. I only have the 4 pink tones, so I don't know how well the brighter colors work, but I adore the ones I have.
I love not having to worry about my lipstick going awry (or turning into lip liner) when I'm eating and these have stood the test of drinking a beer and eating a burger and STILL being on my mouth. They're not drying, don't feather out after a while and they all smell nice. On average, they last me about 6 hours (this includes eating/drinking) before I feel the need to reapply.

Up next are their matte lipsticks, butter lipsticks and their butter glosses. I am not, I repeat, not usually a fan of non-matte products, but I love the Butter line from NYX.  I won't lie: I only bought the Butter Glosses because I had heard so many rave reviews of them on YouTube. I've lived in too many windy cities and have gotten my hair caught in a terrible sticky mess one too many times for me to frequent glosses, but this line is an exception. They aren't sticky, but are buttery as the name suggests. and stay on for a pretty long time and wear off well.

I've saved my favorites for last: the Butter and Matte lipsticks. They are by far my favorite drugstore lip products. I need more red lipstick like I need a hole in the head, but I am in LOOOOOVE with 'Perfect Red' - it's a great dupe of Mac's Russian Red but is easier to apply and feels less drying on your lips. Plus it's a fraction of the cost.
Natural is a lovely purple-y nude. The last lipstick (and one I never thought would so quickly become my favorite) is Fun Size - a pinky peach color that is perfect for bolder eye looks, for fancy occasions that don't call for crazy mouth colors, or for days that I just don't feel like wearing red lipstick. Peach and pink lipsticks fade a lot nicer than red, so there's much less upkeep. Who would've thought? Not me, obviously.

Over all, I would say: check them all the hell out. NYX's products are all super pigmented, not drying, long lasting and are pretty cheap. To be honest, I've been much more disappointed in color pay off with some 'higher end' lip products. You can find NYX products at Target, CVS, and Ulta. And they have new spring colors out so I'm gonna go get some pretty soon. and by 'pretty soon' I mean I have already bought some since I took the pictures for this post.
