I have Antwerp and Tokyo in the Lip Creams, and I like them both. They take a little work, but I don't mind. I would usually line my lips first then apply them, and if I want a softer look, I'd apply a matching lip gloss, usually Sorbet with Tokyo and Natural with Antwerp.

I love both colors too. Tokyo is a nice pale baby pink on me and I pair it with baby pink cheeks. I would wear Antwerp with a coral blush.

The formulas aren't drying on me at all. But if I know I'm going to wear them, I'd scrub my lips and use a good lip balm just to make sure.

The one thing I don't like is that they don't fade evenly on me. I'd need to take everything off, or I get color stuck on the drier bits on my lips. Other than that, I like these.

I don't really like this product.. It's a pretty color and everything but it makes the dry patches on my lips sooooo noticeable! Even when i put on a chapstick underneath it, it still does. I think it's because the formula is matte so it drys out my lips even more. But yeah, not really a fan of this product.

I bought this in a set of three for around $10 and Tokyo just looks so wrong on me. It looks like I've been drinking pepto! I have fair, pink toned skin, so I thought it'd look nice but I was so mistaken. The formula is pretty cool and the staying power is alright. It just wasn't for me. It's a super pale baby pink, not a nude-y pink like I expected. It's a lovely color, but that train just didn't stop at my station. lol I hope this helps.

For those expecting a nude pink color that looks "oh-so- natural", please stay away from this shade and go for Istanbul instead. This is a really light pink color that you have to layer and layer and layer. I used to swipe about 2 coats of this on my lips and the color would last for about an hour. My friend told me to layer A LOT of this product on my lip for it to have more staying power. I've been doing that now (about 6-8 coats) and it only lasts for about 3 hours (not drinking and eating) before I have re-apply again. Great shade for me, might not work for others. Oh, and application of the matte lip cream line is very tricky. If you put too much all at once, you'll have bits of lip color stuck to the cracks of your lips. DON'T FORGET TO MOISTURIZE your lips before putting this on, or else, you'll end up with "cakey" lips. Layer the color instead of putting it on with one swipe. I gave it 3 lippies because I love the color ♥



Costs around PHP270 in the Philippines. It's a very affordable lippy so don't expect too much ☺

This was a miss. Very light pink. Very hard to work on lips since it is not in harmony with my complexion.

I was able to mix it with other lipstick colors so it won't stay inside my drawer sleeping.

Other colors that works: Antwerp, Istanbul, San Paulo, Milan.

Addis Adaba - I'd say ... so-so color. Can be workable. Try to work on it on thin layer and slowly building up the color intensity.

Got this color in my glam bag. Like it quite a lot. It's not for everyone, but on my very pale warm skin, it lends itself to a cute dolly look quite well. I will be buying more shades. The only small drawback is it is a tiny bit drying and it can settle into lip lines a bit, but lip balm helps with both of those problems.

As like all of the matte lip creams this is long lasting color. The color however might be hard for some to pull off. It is a very light bubblegum pink, the only way I can get it to work for me is by layering it over top of nyx mauve lip liner and then adding a gloss of a slightly darker pink. It looks pretty used like this. I have very cool undertones and normally would not have this problem but it is just because the color is so very light. If you have warm undertones I wouldn't suggest this color.

The is a beautiful nude-ish peachy pink, it's the lightest color among NYX's Soft matte lip creams which unfortunately also makes it very hard to work with. The problem is that if you put on a thick layer it accentuates the dry spots in the lips and the result is anything but pretty. I avoided that by putting on a thin layer but 30 minutes later I was shocked when I saw myself in the mirror - the thin layer had completely dried and settled into the lines in my lips, plus it dried unevenly so the color was almost gone in some parts. I don't know, perhaps it's the color that doesn't work well with the pigmentation of my lips because I didn't have this problem with the other shades. It could be because they are dark enough for you to be able to put on a thick layer and not have cakey lips. The best (and only) way for me to use this right now is to put on a thin layer of this cream and then apply a layer of a lip gloss with a similar shade (NYX's Round lip gloss Sorbet). I love this product though, I just wish it was easier to wear.

I have these lip creams in Amsterdam and Antwerp (I played it safe for my skin tone). I have to safe for the PRICE (I paid about $3.00!) this is an AMAZING product. It's definitely matte but it goes on like a silky/gloss feel just like NYX said. Lining your lips fully before you apply it can enhance the wear and give it a more clean look, however this product can go on just fine without liner. It can also feel a little dry over bare lips so a little balm is good. My only beef is it doesn't last as long through the day. And don't smack them like you would with reg. lip gloss b/c that messes up the coverage. Definitely will buy more of these...c:

I love this lip cream. I was worried that it wasn't going to show up as such a pale pink because I have very pigmented lips but it covers really well. I enjoy the smell as well. It is a little drying so make sure to moisturize your lips well before and after wearing. It looks great under clear gloss.

I was looking for a less sheer lipgloss similar to MAC Viva Glam Gaga. This is it! It is the perfect pink. I wear it over Darling to get that Kim Kardashian nude but pink lips.

It's a fake pink not natural on my bare lips so its best over lipstick IMHO.

J'adore!

I picked this up on a whim, at the last minute before I got in line. It's a bright-ish, cool-toned pink, which I love! It applies and wears like a dream on my very full lips. I love that it really is a mix between a gloss and a stick! The texture is phenomenal. Also, I really love the NARS-esque rubber cap - brilliant.

The packaging is great.. rubberized caps like NARS packaging. This color didn't work for me. I LOVE the texture and finish of these, but it is more of a cool toned pink (swatches online are terrible). It is a very soft baby pink. Didn't work with my warm complexion.
