Ok, so I don't usually write about reviews, and I tend to be very cautious when buying lipsticks, lipgloss, etc, BUT, I had a target gift card and had heard from really good reviews about the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, so I went, I'm going to try it!
Target only had like 4 colors... which was upsetting, but I also bought them, today...and I think most stores stock their shelves for things in the beginning of the week. I got Addis Ababa and San Paulo today, and I'm contemplating checking other stores for some other colors because I'm obsessed with this cream.
NOW! I REVIEW! Here goes.
Firstly, it is not a gloss. It's a cream and it feels like baby powder on my lips. Its nuts. I love it. It really feels like mousse if you touch it, and like I said, I love it. If you let it dry, its not transferring. You can kiss everyone and it won't come off. I kissed my hand like 12 times testing it, and the longer I had it on, the more it dried, the less it transferred, until it just didn't anymore and the color was still just as vibrant and pigmented. Like I said, I love it. The color San Paulo looked mauve-ish when looking at the bottle, was reddish when I put it on my lips, but on the website looks like a rose color... All in all, its kinda red... I still like it, but was not what I was expecting when I bought it. Addis Ababa is like magenta, hot pink, very awesome color, I love it. Its similar to Clinique's Pudgy Peony Chubby Stick color. I love wearing that when I go out, so this may be a new staple for me too.
I LOVE the smell. I put it on and immediately went, "oh! it smells like vanilla! Thats awesome!" and was losing my mind telling the hubs about this stuff. I had to take a couple minutes and freak out over this lip cream when talking to him. Basically it was love at first sight. It goes on very easily and with only a small amount.
Cons (aka I didn't like this...)
Its not very forgiving when putting it on. It glides on very easily, as I said, BUT! You need a mirror to put it on, or you end up looking like you let a child do you lipstick... I actually put it on however I felt like, then used my makeup remover to clean up around my mouth. As I said previously, the San Paulo color was confusing. I bought it expecting a mauve-ish color, put it on and its almost a dark red... Had I purchased it straight from their website, I would have bought a different color simply because it looks pinkish, like a dusty rose, I can't even describe it. It just doesn't look like what I bought in the store... (I double checked to see if it was the right color too...)
I DO recommend this to people. I only had to problems with it, and my good feelings about it REALLY outweigh my bad feelings about it so... Basically I love it. I do plan on going to buy more of them as I previous stated.
If you want some as well, go HERE!
All for now!
