I have this in Antwerp and it's really nice although I find it a bit dark? on my skin, It makes me look paler than I actually am. I really want to buy Istanbul next.
It lasts on the lips for ages :)

Wonderful matte lipstick alternative. These little buggers dry down to a matte finish fully in about 8-10 minutes and they aren't gonna budge (granted you aren't going to be licking your lips constantly). You can put these over top of a lip balm and still expect them to dry down, albeit it takes a little bit longer. These aren't really drying, though they aren't hydrating, but they are very comfortable to wear and a wonderful alternative if you don't want the hassle of carrying a lipstick, liner, and lip brush in your bag.

I really like these and hesitate to give them a four. First, though, my reasons for not giving it a five: 1) when they do fade, they seem to fade everywhere but around my lips. So sometimes it looks like I'm wearing red lipliner without red lipstick. 2) I find that they fade quickly when drinking or moving your lips a lot- I'm guilty of licking my lips often and always being aware of any product on my lips, though.
On the other hand, these feel like a dream! They're so creamy and they apply so easily, which is fantastic for my unsteady hand. The color is so rich, and they don't dry out my lips terribly if at all. I get many compliments when wearing the red matte lip cream c:

These are very nice. They're very cheap, smell very nice (kind of like sweet cake), and are creamy, and have nice color. I really loved the one I purchased! I bought the "Tokyo" color. I will definitely consider getting other colors in the future.

I have not ever been able to buy a matte lip color and it 1. not dry my lips out to the point that I have chapping and flakes, and 2. not look completely ridiculous on me. I wish I could be the kind of person that can wear all kinds of matte lipstick, but I'm not. I like this because it didn't do either of the above mentioned things. This didn't chap my lips and it didn't look bad on me, of course, I didn't slick it on like lip gloss either. All I did was take the applicator and dab it on my lower lip, then made a few small dots on my upper lip. While it was still damp, I smoothed it out with my lipstick brush. The color (Milan) looked good on me, and because I primed my lips before, they didn't get chapped and the lipstick stayed damp longer, giving me the chance to smooth it. I didn't like the fact that it did kind of wear off about 3 hours later (I didn't eat or drink and I didn't do much talking). Like a few of the reviewers, It didn't wear off evenly. It wore off in the middle of my lip while the outer edges still looked good. After it wore off, I used some MAC Lipglass in Lychee Luxe just on the center of my lower lip and my Cupid's bow, then blended it out. The color was just perfect and it wound up being pretty. I like this product and I do give it 4 stars. If it were to stay on longer and not fade so unevenly, then I would be hard pressed not to give it 5.

I really like this lip cream. It applies like a gloss, but has a matte finish like a lipstick. I love the matte, velvety finish of the product. However, what I do not like is the lasting product. It lasts maybe like 2-3 hours for me at most? I'm probably going to buy it anyways though. I just reapply the product and my problem is solved.

Resist the urge to apply this like a lip-gloss; it will get flaky and lose its pretty texture. Start off with a small amount. I only apply to my bottom lip and then press my lips together. Voila! Soft, pretty color!

It has this lovely soft texture, is not sticky, and the stain of its color remains on my lips for hours. Any long lasting lip color can make a dry spot look more dry, so I use a dot of Lansinoh on any dry areas.

I bought this in Antwerp, described on the NYX website as a Mid-tone yellow-toned pink -- my lips but brighter, perhaps? :)

(Side note: in L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation, I am a N1 or a W2.)

This is a very light weight lip cream that goes on smoothly and stays put. I have it in Stockholm and it is way more pink than I would have thought from the color on the website and the swatches I looked at online. It is a good product and I would recommend it but be aware that you will probably not get a good sense of the color unless you swatch it on your skin.

I bought Antwerp while jumping on the coral bandwagon last spring because I loved it on youtuber Sam/Beautycrush. It's not really working for me, though. It's a nice color but it feels too drying.

Actually, I liked everything about the application for the first 30 minutes, but it did not wear off evenly. After a long conversation with a friend, I checked my lips in the mirror and the color (San Paulo, loved it!) was bright and matte on the outer edges of my lips all the way around, but closer toward my mouth, the color was completely gone, just bare lips. I'd not had anything to eat or drink; I’d rather a product wear off evenly than grab where lips are dry and slip off completely where lips get naturally wet. I've not had a lip product do that before- though I’ve rarely worn matte pruducts.
So, a unique product and pretty initially– but funky wearability if you plan to do more than pout. Check your mirrors often with this one. Returned.

I don't like the dry feeling on my lips. I prefer matte lipstick + creamy lip gloss. I got "antwerp" and it's way too pink, not at all like the light pinky coral shade I was expecting. I got this lip cream from cherryculture at around $5 plus shipping, and I don't think it's worth the price, I've seen better lip products for much less.

I order this in Tokyo and the color is absolutely gorgeous. It's my dream pink shade....downside?

I think it breaks me out.....

It's just so sad. I love it so much and it's a great product for so many people.

I bought these in: San Paulo, Amsterdam, and Antwerp.

Here's how it started: I first got "Outlaw" Everlasting liquid lipstick by Kat Von D at sephora. It was $23 plus tax. I tried it out and it was AMAZING. However, I could just not justify spending that much on a red I would only wear occasionally. So I returned it. Then I heard about these NYX soft matte lip creams. Anyway, they are 4 times cheaper and work just about as well. I'd rather own 4 of these than 1 of Kat Von D's. However you should try those out as she is the queen of staying power...and if you are looking for a matte look that will NOT budge, go for those. For more every day wear, go for NYX (it will not last as long)

I like these better than the Kat Von D ones. Contrary what people are saying, I did not find these drying at all. They do take a while to dry down to matte though. Probably 5 minutes.

EDIT: I loveee these. They smell so good. Like sugar cookies!

Monte Carlo is my new fave red!

Price: $11CAd
Colour
Monte Carlo: dark blue-red
Butterly Nude: peachy coral
Finish: soft luminous matte
Pigmentation: opaque
Texture: buttery

This lip cream just glides on and feels like nothing! And the soft, non-flat finish is simply gorgeous for anyone.
Smells like super sweetened vanilla like their lip glosses. Stays on for an impressive amount of time too.

I love this! It's so pigmentated, and applies so softly. It stays put for a long time and does not dry out my lips.
the only drawback is, the limited range of colours.

I love NYX's Soft Matte Lip Creams a lot due to the price, applicator, easy to apply in a hurry, great for touch-ups during school or work, and shade versatility but the formula is terribly drying. Even with a lip balm or lip liner underneath, I can't help but to envision my lips as a crackling dry desert. I've approximated that the lasting power of NYX's Soft Matte Lip Creams are about an hour and a half on me, even with prepped lips. I'm satisfied with these, just not with the dryness or lack of lasting power. I will continue to try these until I find better lip creams.

Nothing fancy about it's packaging, but a good product. Makes my lips look deceivingly full whilst giving a nice pop of color.

Smells nice, like icing/cake batter. If you don't like your lip products having strong scents this baby is not for you.

Formula is drying. Trick to this product is to layer it over some Vaseline or it will dry out your lips like crazy.

Not much to say about the applicator, basic lip gloss applicator.

All in all a good product. Only gripe I have with this is the staying power, I find myself having to reapply this every couple of hours.

I brought two of these lip creams because the colors looked so beautiful and they were. However, the smell and feel on the lips were just terrible. It smells fake and plastic and it feels like vinyl on the lips. Plus they look too matte. I know that it says matte in the name but they made my lips look really dry. Not for me

I was soooo excited to try this. So imagine my surprise when it came out of the tube and walked right into every line on my lips, looking a goopy mess, never dried or set, and worse, made my teeth look unbearably yellow [the hot pink color. Cool fuschias look great on me/with my teeth]. It is pigmented but not enough to go on in one opaque swipe - I never really got an even application of color, and although the formula smells delicious [yay! more chemicals/synthetics!], it is coming out of the tube GOOPY and clumpy and disgusting.

In short, a disappointment, and not an experiment I'll shell out good money repeating.
