Product Review: Nyx's Lip Lingerie in Exotic

Hello again, makeup junkies! Since I was MIA for more than six months, I am making up for it by bombarding you with posts before 2017 ends. Lol!

Today, I will be doing a review of Nyx's Lip Lingerie liquid lipstick. Just a disclaimer, this is not a new lip product, in fact, this came sometime late last year when everyone was all about nude/brown lips.

They released new shades since then and are now offering 24 shades (not all 24 are available in the Philippines). But since it looks like the nude lip trend is staying for a while, I thought, I might as well do this review late than never.

Anyway, let's go back to the review. There is indeed a nude shade for everyone.

NUDES FOR ALL
Slip into something seductive with Lip Lingerie, our new weightless liquid lipstick with a plush matte finish. Each stunning shade is also enriched with vitamin E to help lips look and feel ultra-soft.

These liquid lipsticks are very reminiscent of their soft matte lip creams. It has the same soft, creamy/moussey formula that does not dry the lips out. The only major difference is the smell. Their lip creams smell amazing, like vanilla, while these lip lingeries smell slightly of paint, although it goes away pretty quickly as soon as you apply it. It also dries down to a true matte, dries faster and lasts longer than the lip creams. It comes in a long clear sturdy plastic tube with a black cap and the standard doe foot applicator albeit flatter. By now, you probably have heard of Nyx coming out with yet another liquid lipstick line called Liquid Suedes, but I have yet to try them. For this review, we're going to talk about the shade, Exotic.
This shade is a muted red (on Nyx's website they refer to it as a mahogany red) and is not something I would really consider as a nude shade, but, hey it's a lovely color, so who am I to complain. In fact, one can wear it everyday or at work without it being too loud, perfect for those who can't or don't want to wear bright reds at work but still want to look polished.


Aside from the items already mentioned above, I feel these lip lingeries tend to settle on the lines  or dry patches on my lips, accentuating them more. But, the plus side is, it stays put for about 5 hours (unless you eat something greasy or oily) and it fades evenly.


Priced at Php 460-490, this may be slightly more expensive than your average drugstore lipstick, however, I'd still say it is a good buy as eventhough it costs more, you don't have to reapply as much as you would a regular lipstick.

My final verdict, a must buy and something I would repurchase! In fact, I ordered two other shades, Embellishment and Ruffle Trim and I am set to get a new tube of Exotic as I am almost out. Looks like I'll be rocking this shade until next year!

Happy New Year and may your 2018 be as merry and bright as your ruby red lipsticks and sparkling glittery eyeshadows!

Xoxo 💄,

Missus C
