Shade description: yellow based baby pink

Pros

- pigmented
- easy application

Cons

- leaves glitter residue on lips
- drying

Comments: This particular shade isn't overly creamy, but more on the dry side. I can easily swipe this on without any complications with the formula aside from accentuating any dry spots. I also like that this is a yellow toned pink, which makes it easier for my NC37 skin tone to wear.

Will repurchase.

I own several NYX round lipsticks, and this is the only one that I wouldn't buy again. It might just be the one that I bought, but after wearing it a few times, something seemed to happen to it - it seems really slippery when I'm trying to apply it, and no color actually comes off onto my lips, no matter how much I try to rub it on. This is the only NYX lipstick that I own that has had this problem, and I'm probably just going to have to throw it away. The color is decently pretty, but nothing super special.

I love everything NYX - it's usually quality make-up at lower or average prices. However, this lipstick made me want to chuck it out the window. The color is gorgeous - a little lighter and brighter than the picture shows but it's a beautiful milky light pink with a minimal amount of shimmers. So it looks beautiful in the tube, but when applied, UCK! Even after exfoliating my lips and applying a lipbalm, this lipstick still came out looking awful. It was washed out my lips too much and settled into every single line in my lips - despite them having just been exfoliated. I've tried wearing this plenty of times, and once without exfoliating. That was a nightmare. If the formula was more creamy and opaque, this might be a winner for it's color though the glitters need to be toned down - they make the lips feel totally gritty and unsexy. I'm a little weary of NYX normal lippies now, but maybe I'll try the matte colors. The matte lipcream is amazing!

EDIT: After making a few trips to Ulta after my experience with this crappy lipstick, I think I may have gotten one from a bad batch. I checked out another Gala lipstick that appeared much more creamy and dark with less glitters.

I got this color because I felt it was close in color to YSL Pink Lingerie. Gala is definitely warmer and more beige than pink, but is still a nice pale baby pink. Very pale! Well the color is a pretty ultra light pink beige satin. My only complaint is I must layer this over a lipliner and blend. By itself it can be cakey and make my lips look dry. It takes some work to make it look good on me. I don't mind. I love the whole creative process of applying makeup!

This is one of the newest NYX shades to hit the scene. It's a soft creamy light pink that waivers on the neutral/warmer side. It's not a Barbie shade like some of the other NYX pinks. I read on a site that it looks like Rimmel's Airy Fairy but I disagree. I snapped a pic of them side by side for comparison.
