Matte Lips Must Have: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

Matte lips are all the rage right now. They look great while staying in place. Who can ask for more?

Most of us.
Most of us want a little more out of our matte lippies. Let's face it, as soon as it dries down (most of them within a few minutes), our lips feel horribly dry and we feel as though our lips are just flaking off.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream is different. The mousse-like texture doesn't dry completely matte, instead, more of a satin finish, hence the name "soft matte". The result is the perfect balance between matte and non-flakie lips.

They'll last several hours, with very minimal transfer (but the BF still doesn't wont let me kiss him to prove it!). After some time, my lips did get dry, but it was the normal dry from not applying any type of lip balm for several hours (my lips seem like they're always dry, specially at work when I'm talking to lots of people).

Some might be turned off by the moderately strong vanilla smell, but many (like myself) will enjoy it. The doe foot applicator makes application easy, and it is not patchy at all.

Stockholm is my favourite of the two. I absolutely love the colour. It's a great nude colour that looks natural on me. Almost a "my lips but better".

Prague on the other hand, took a while for me to feel comfortable with. This pinky-mauve is much brighter than anything I normally wear, but once the compliments started, I was feeling a little more confident and have since worn it a few times.

These guys are about $11 at Shoppers Drug Mart and are completely worth it!
