NYX Lip Lingerie Swatches & Thoughts

Hey everyone! It took me awhile to get my hands on these Lip Lingeries and I have been itching to try them out ever since I seen swatches on Instagram! The third time visiting the store was a charm because I went to the newly opened NYX store and was able to pick-up two of the shades. They had been completely sold out the previous two times I went. The displayer was by the cash at the back of the store and random people throughout the store had the testers so it was always a mission to find certain colours. As you can tell by the photo, they retail for $9 CAD and I felt that some colours were more sheer than others. That means that you will end up using more product and go through the tube faster. 


The Shades I Purchased
I decided to buy Embellishment and Exotic which were two of the more opaque shades that I watched on my hand. I first seen Embellishment on the web site and it is more of a mauve colour with a purple undertone. Exotic is similar to a brick red and is quite opaque. I was told that there were 3 tubes of Embellishment left and I bought one of them so that means there were only 2 remaining by the time I left the store. Talk about great timing! Exotic was an impulse purchase to be honest. I also managed to convince another woman to buy this beautiful shade!

Swatches
 I made sure to exfoliate and moisture my lips prior to application because it IS a liquid lipstick after all. The shades did go on a bit lighter on my lips but that is because I put some concealer on top of my natural lip colour. The applicator makes the application process so much easier which I appreciate. The formula is also very creamy and easy to work with. Also, these shades are a matte finish.



What I noticed especially with this colour is that it left a strange line towards the top and the bottom of my lips. The colour also bled a little bit and feathered out especially on my upper lip. Next time I wear it, I will be using a lip liner with it. 

Overall
I would say that they are long wearing and long lasting. I ate, drank some water and was talking a lot yet the lip colour still lasted! I have been wearing exotic for about 4 hours now and it is still looking rather decent! I have not had to touch up yet! The swatches on my hand have faded ever so slightly! It did not transfer either even though it felt a little bit sticky on the lips. NYX has a new return policy that if you open any product that you purchase, you can no longer return it. It has to be unopened and accompanied by the original receipt within a 30 day time frame. Also, you should follow me on Snapchat if you aren't already!


Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
