NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in San Paulo and Istanbul

July 23, 2012

Howdy! I have been quite obsessed with lip products this couple of months, especially with NYX's lip creams! My first purchase was San Paulo, a dark rose pink which turned out to be one of my favourite lip product of all time! My second lip cream is Istanbul, a fairly light and soft pink. Both colours are closer to neutral to cool-tones.

It's not lipstick, nor is it gloss. It's like nothing you've experienced before. It's lipstick cream that goes on silky but looks soft matte. 

Not exactly the most beautiful description but it is, honestly, true. The texture of the lip creams are a dreammm~ Soft and creamy, gliding effortlessly on your lips and leaving a colour true to what you see on the tubes. It is very pigmented (especially for San Paulo) and easily spreadable and movable during the first few minutes of putting it on. Look over to the right bar for the Lip of the Moment, currently San Paulo. The cream then slowly and subtly dries off to a matte (slightly powdery) feeling, adding colour to your face yet not stealing the limelight. I don't like shiny/glossy lip products as they can make me look more mature (yikes!).

Longevity of the product is, like most lip products, according to what you do with your lips. If you're gonna have a meal or drink, the lip cream fades with wear. However, it's such a dream to put on you won't mind touching up! One thing though, since it feels close to nothing on your lips, you might forget having lip colour on. Becareful not to rub your lip area accidentally! 

Since this product is blendable and dries matte, I'm sure you can use them as cream blushes! Use Istanbul for a fresh-face blush or San Paulo for more intense colour. 

I love the NYX Soft Matte Lip creams and can't wait to collect em' all!! 

I bought the lip creams from Smoochiezz and it's Watson's Atrium Sale for $10 and $15.90 :( respectively.
