NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM | ESSENTIAL NUDES

For my first time trying out products from NYX , I thought it would be wise to start off with the soft matte lip creams

These are not liquid lipsticks and you can't quite compare both. This formula feels like a whipped butter when applying and personally I find them very comfortable on the lips even though they dry completely matte. 

Some shades can be a little bit patchy with only one layer, but you can easily build it up to full opacity with two layers. Just to give you a better idea, I am only using one layer in all of the photos below, and in case you don't know, I have a huge birthmark on my top lip.

All of these have the same sweet scent, which reminds me a lot of vanilla pudding. But once they dry there's no weird taste or smell at all, which I appreciate.

They stay a good amount of time, fade well and do not flake or anything like that. At least these three shades. 

Another thing that I like about this formula is the fact that it doesn't accentuate my lip cracks like a lot of liquid lipsticks do. They feel more like a bullet lipstick in that sense but without transferring as much, which I like a lot!

Overall I am very satisfied with these. Not only this collection has a lot of neutral shades, but they also have a good balance of price/quality. 

The one thing I do not like (though that happens with so many brands) is that the shades do not match very well with the packaging, so it's always good to try them on first in order to see the real color.

Here I am wearing the shade Abu Dhabi which recently became my favorite nude in my collection. I see it as a light brown with slight pink undertones.

Rome is my second favorite shade from these three. It is a deeper nude, closer to the berries but still muted. I like to apply just a slight layer on my bottom lip and smudge it to create this tinted but not overly produced looking lips.

Athens was the first shade in my collection. It is a more opened tone with a mixture of pink and yellows. With my complexion, I see it more like a coral peachy tone, if that makes any sense to you.
