NYX Butter Lipstick Review



I am a big fan of NYX makeup! If you are not familiar with NYX, they are a makeup brand that do fantastic products for decent prices. I would say their price range of product would be inbetween drugstore and high-end. So they are affordable, but I like to buy stuff from them every now and again as a treat, as the prices can soon add up! 
For quite a while now, I have been a HUGE fan of their Butter Glosses. They are highly pigmented glosses, that look and smell amazing. I am pretty much obsessed with them!
So when I discovered that NYX had created Butter Lipsticks, this was something that excited me alot! However there is one downside to this new creation....they currently don't stock these in the UK yet. NYX is an American makeup brand, so they obviously get the new releases alot quicker than we do! So with no release date in the UK set yet, I had to take a different approach to get my hands on these much wanted lipsticks!

Luckily enough, there is an american website called cherryculture.com that stocks these lipsticks, and they also ship to the UK. So I decided to place an order with them, and I got my hands on these beauties!

These retail at around $6 in the US, but I was lucky enough to get them on sale for $4.50!
I managed to get myself some beautiful colours and instantly fell in love with them!

These lipsticks are super moisturising - so great if you have dry lips! They are also super pigmented! What I love about these, is that usually with creamy/moisturising lipsticks, they wear off the lips very quickly, but these last! I've never had such a moisturising lipstick with such lasting power! And they are also don't go patchy, so whilst they are starting to wear off throughout the day, they still maintain their colour and coverage of the lips. I would say the lasting power of these lipsticks is around 4 hours til you need to touch them up - alot longer than my MAC ones! I think these are fantastic for such a low price. They look glossy and go onto the lips like silk. They feel really creamy and don't stick to dry patches at all. They do a fantastic colour range, and I can't wait til these are released in the UK! I would totally recommend them, especially if you love the Butter glosses!

Head to www.cherryculture.com to grab yourself some of these!

NYX butter glosses!


Aloha!
I'm back with another review today. Recently I brought some items from NYX.  I love to buy stuff from them every now and again because even though their products are affordable, they are not cheap enough to buy all the time. I think nyx is really underrated in the uk. You can only buy stuff off of their website which is why I think that is, but they do some amazing stuff and I think everyone deserves to have a little bit of nyx in their makeup collection!
Anyway I'm completely going off subject!! I purchased two of their butter glosses which are fairly new. I've been wanting to try them out since they were released and have only just got around to buying them! 


I got mine in the shades 'peaches and cream' and 'cherry pie'. They are £5 each which I think is affordable. The gloss is quite thick and almost like the Rimmel apacolips lip laquers, but more like a gloss than a laquer. 


The pigmentation is really good and they are super glossy. The colour lasts such a long time on the lips and the product isn't too sticky. Because it's nyx products I wasn't expecting them to be rubbish, I thought they'd be fantastic and of course they are! They don't do many colors available but from the few you can get, they are really flattering shades. I chose peaches and cream because it is a pretty peachy bright pink. And as for cherry pie, it's a typical red gloss, which is something I don't have in my gloss collection! Overall I would recommend checking out these glosses. They are really pretty and great quality. Nyx products never fail to impress me and these are just brilliant. If you like a thick gloss then you'll love these. Plus they smell amazing!
