I bought this in 805 pucker. It's a hot pink on one side and a pale mauve-y pink on the other. They just don't blend together well at all. I really wish I hadn't spent $8 on this product. To me if you spend $10 on a product you hate it feels like you spent more than when you pay $20 on a product you love. This product is very drying on my lips. They both have shimmer(loads of it), which doesn't bother me but the pale mauve color is very frosty. The colors just don't seem to go together for me. They do last pretty well, but they smell and taste(if you accidentally lick your lips without thinking) like baby powder or old lady(no offence to old ladies) perfume. I mean I might wear them both on their own but for the smell. I don't recommend this lipstick.

Lips -NYX - Soft Matte Lip Cream in Tokyo
Girlofpages 9/19/2012 8:00:00 PM
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.

Lipstick -NYX - Snow White

I love this lipstick. It's a very pigmented dark red and though some people have discribed it as not vampy it looks a little vampy on my pale skin. It's a blue based red which is good for people with cool(pink) undertones. It's my favorite red lipstick but it's not a color I wear every day. I put this on with a lip brush because when I put it on from the tube I made a mess(but more skilled people might be able to just put it on). This lipstick is really creamy, which might not be the best for a dark red because it can smear. I usually dap it on, blot, dab it on again. Love it and it has a great price.

Lipstick -NYX - Apollo

This is a really pretty red with a golden shimmer to it, so it comes off kinda rusty or bronze-y. Maybe it's not the best for my skin tone(cool toned, pale) but it is very lovely(and it looks amazing on my friend with who is half Puerto Rican). The price is great! I got three for $7. I like the texture, it's smooth and creamy. If my carmera wasn't so shoddy I'd post a swatch for you guys. It's not long wearing so if that is a deciding factor you should skip this and maybe most of nyx round lipsticks. I would buy this again.

Lipstick -NYX - Round lipstick- Milan
Girlofpages 8/24/2012 8:04:00 PM
This lipstick is my favorite nyx round lipstick. It looks really pretty on my skin tone (cool and pale). It's not too dark and it's not frosty. This is the lipstick I throw in my bag on the way out the door. The price is amazing. I got three of them for $7. It's sort of a mauve-y, brown-y pink. I wear this in place of nude colors because they make me look like a dead person. lolThe only thing I don't love is that it doesn't have great staying power. In a little while you will need to re-apply it. The texture is creamy and smooth. I'd buy this again and again.

Lipstick -NYX - Harmonica

I didn't like this lipstick at all. I really wanted to and it looked pretty on the website and I like the three other nyx round lipsticks I own (snow white, milan, and apollo). This color just isn't flattering on my skin tone(cool, pale), and I can't imagine which skin tone it would look good on. It looks a little silvery on me. The texture is pretty good, it's creamy and it applies well. Overall this was a bummer, I might wear a darker pink and just put a dab of this on the middle.
