More and more NYX makeup counters are popping up across the country and I am lucky enough to live in the city where the first UK counter launched last November.
NYX is known for its professional, high quality makeup at accessible prices whilst keeping up with current trends with their bright and unique products. You can now buy NYX makeup in the UK from Boots, Selfridges, Feel unique.com, Very and Asos.
If I could recommend just one item that you must try from NYX then it would be one of their lip products. They have a fantastic range of lip products in all different colours and formulas which means that almost everybody would be able to find their perfect lipstick.
The matte lip creams and butter glosses are my personal favourite and I have gradually built up a small collection that I want to share with you today.
These lip creams and glosses cost just over £5 which I think is a great deal considering that they are just as good as many other high end alternatives that cost more than half the price- I even prefer these to some of the expensive alternatives that I have tried!
Butter Gloss, Madeleine (14)
This is the latest addition to my collection and after trying it just once, I already love it. If you want to achieve a super glossy brown nude lip then this one is for you! I love these NYX butter glosses because unlike many other lip glosses, they are extremely pigmented and aren't too sticky.
Soft Matte Lip Cream, London (04)
Brown toned lipstick is a very current trend and this lip cream is the perfect product to help you achieve the popular Kylie Jenner inspired pout. This looks great worn alone however if you fancy a glossier look, you could layer on top the Madeline butter gloss to give a plump finish.
Soft Matte Lip Cream, Stockholm (02)
If you aren't quite ready to rock a straight brown lip but still want to experiment with the trend then this pink toned brown lip cream is a great choice. I love to wear Stockholm in the day time when I don't want anything too bold on my lips but I still want something there.
This shade is very similar to the MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy which I love to wear underneath this to add extra lasting power to make my lips last all day long (even when eating and drinking- it's amazing!)
Soft Matte Lip Cream, Milan (11)
Milan is a very sweet candy pink shade that is great if you want to add a subtle pop of colour to your look. I love to use this one pale skin tones for a sweet pink lip.
Soft Matte Lip Cream, Copenhagen (20)
Similar to the MAC lipstick shades in Rebel and Media, Copenhagen lip cream is a fantastic deep berry shade that is the ultimate autumn and winter lip colour. I personally love to wear lip colours like this and I have gotten a lot of wear out of it when I want to achieve a statement berry lip.
Intense Butter Gloss, Berry Strudel (02)
If you know me then you will know that I love to rock a crazy statement lip every now and again. One of my favourite statement lip colours is purple and I could not resist picking up this bright neon purple lip gloss when I spotted it at the NYX counter.
I usually prefer my statement bold lips to have a matte finish which makes them easier to wear and they tend to have a better lasting power, having said this I was willing to try something new and see how a statement lip gloss would work.
Berry Strudel is an intense butter gloss and unfortunately it is extremely sticky and it can be very messy to apply and wear. Although I don't like the formula, the pigment pay off is like no other lip gloss I have tried before- it is outstanding. I probably won't be wearing this myself however I am sure that it will not go to waste and I will be able find a use for it in my fashion makeup looks.
Butter Gloss, Peach Cobbler (06)
In comparison to the dark Copenhagen lip cream, this peachy butter gloss screams summer and all things bright. Peach Cobbler butter gloss is comfortable to wear and the colour always stays put. This shade is really lovely and I am sure that I will be getting a lot of wear out of it over the next few months as we approach summer.
Have you tried any of the NYX Cosmetics lip products? Let me know in the comments! :)
