NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Lip Swatches and Review

The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream's are a very popular product amongst the beauty community. I have 11 shades of them and although, I do not use them as much as I should but when I do, I really enjoy them. They were the first 'liquid lipstick' type of product that I got my hands on. 


The packaging is very simple but really nice, they are really easy to store in my make up collection as well, they aren't too big and slot easily into my Ikea inserts in the large drawer in my Ikea Malm dressing table (which a lot of you will know is amazing for storing make up). These lip creams retail for £5.50 here in the UK which is a good price considering that NYX does have very high quality products - from what I have tried. 

The shades I have...
Stockholm, London, Abu Dhabi and Sydney

Tokyo, Ibiza, San Paulo and Prague

Amsterdam, Monte Carlo and Copenhagen

Here are the swatches of the lip colours on my arm...

They are really pigmented products, some of the swatches do appear slightly streaky on my arm but this doesn't show up on the lips. I do find for more of an intense colour they are easy to build up on the lips if this is the look you want. They apply very smoothly and set to a matte finish - they aren't drying either which is brilliant for a matte formulation. They are pretty long lasting although I do find that I would need to re apply after drinking/eating. The applicator is really easy to use so you can apply the product straight from the tube.


Lip swatches:

They aren't the best, I was racing against the sun going down so they are a bit dodgey but just to show you how the colours appear on the lips!



Overall, this lip product is very affordable and easy to work with and I would highly recommend it.
