Product Review: NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme

If you don't shop at Ulta much, there is reason to start now! They have expanded their NYX collection!! The one by me expanded like 3 times the size it was before!  This means, more products to review and talk about! Here is the first one::

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme

I have it in Istanbul (pictured right up there!)

Here is a swatch of it!

It turns out a little more pink on your lips but if you pair it over a berry colored lip liner, it tones it more to a dark shade of this!

The little tubey says:

It's not lipstick,

nor is it gloss.

It's like nothing

you've

experienced

before. It's

lipstick cream

that goes on

silky but looks

soft matte.

Now what do I think about this little tube of soft matte lip stick creamyness??

Let's start with the positives::

**I love the opaque-ness of the color! I have pretty naturally red lips (I know a lot of people like that but I want the opposite of course! ha ha), but this color really did work to cover that and show the color it says it would. That is pretty impressive to me!

**I love that it is really pretty easy to put on, it functions much more like a gloss in that sense!

Now the negatives::

**It goes on easy but leave some streaky-ness as you rub your lips together, so a mirror is definitely wanted when using this! This, for me, took out the easy-ness of it!

**As it dries to be long wearing, your lips start to feel very dry... but if you apply lipgloss or chapstick, it goes back to the streaky-ness of the first problem!

**This stuff never comes off! It wears off of the main parts of your lips but it gets into the cracks of your lips (which everyone has, no matter how moisturized your lips are! So you really can't avoid this!)... you have to really work to get it out of there!

**My final negative, and the reason I don't like this product very much, is that it makes your lips very prone to getting that white filmy-ness that comes when you leave lip products on for too long without reapplying or applying something on top of it! This is a personal thing for me... I HATE that stuff! It grosses me out; I know everyone gets it but I just don't like it at all!

Overall, would I buy it again?

Unfortunately, I won't be buying this again, or any of the other colors it comes in! But I will be buying more NYX products for sure! I am actually going to return this and get a different NYX product to review! And I have a few things already to review form them so look out for those coming soon!
