Soft Matte Lip Cream (All)

I purchased SMLC16 Cairo, a very pale warm nude.
The formula is about as close to a liquid lipstick as I can actually stand. It smells wonderful, is affordable, and can be layered and refreshed without all the drama of liquid lipstick, but gives the same look and function. I would say the finish is definitely a velveteen.
Will consider more colors.

I have had a few shades over the years and tend to repurchase whenever they're on sale. Some of the shades I like are Cannes, Zurich, and Amsterdam. I'm not sure I would really call these a "liquid lipstick" which I think is what some people expect of them; the name says it all. These are not drying (but not moisturizing) and not long lasting (but they fade away nicely). No …Read more

I currently own the shades Abu Dhabi (thanks to Roxette Arisa on YouTube) and Amsterdam. Abu Dhabi is a neutral/nude brown that is MLBB and Amsterdam is an orange-red that looks great coupled with NYX Professional Makeup Suede Matte Lip Liner in Cherry Skies (thanks for the MUA review from lurkymclurkerson). The staying power is so-so, but I don't mind having to retouch after …Read more

Sometimes these are on sale at Target, which is when I buy them. I like the colors I have, but I don't think I could wear them every day. Way too drying. They're not super super long lasting but not bad!

These have been part of my regular makeup routine for the past two years. I love the moussey, lightweight texture and extensive color selection. I've tried ten or eleven shades and they varied in pigment intensity and formula; some were more dry, some wet, and some paler and deeper shades went on slightly patchy and took more swipes to reach full opacity, which is the only reason why they …Read more

I like this product enough where I want to buy more shades to see how they perform! I have the color Amsterdam which is the red tube pictured above. In my opinion it is a few shades lighter than what is pictured on the tube. Truthfully, I normally stray away from intense colors because I hate seeing the obvious line between my outter lip that keeps the lip color and the inner lip that loses …Read more

I have several of these, they are def among my fave liquid lipsticks. They are pigmented, dry down quickly and last so long, even if I eat and drink!
A lot of liquid lipsticks I’ve tried have kind of a bendy applicator which makes the product harder to apply, but this one doesn’t have that and the shape of the applicator also works really well for me.
My only complaint would be that the …Read more

These are fantastic on first glance. Not so matte that they look dry but very much a ‘buttery matte’ that feels comfortable and smells of vanilla. Lovely.

The only two downsides are that a) they break the area around my lips out and b) the tube is quite small - my guess is they’ll run out reasonably quickly if used every day.

That said, the colour selection is sensational …Read more

If you ask me how good these lip creams are, I’d be raving about it. They are nothing like liquid lipsticks but the finish kinda looks like liquid lipstick. I get really really nervous when I apply liquid lipsticks but not this one. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream is so smooth, soft and creamy that it’s really easy to control when you apply. It may look patchy or streaky on application as though you …Read more

A lot of transfer! Definitely can’t eat with it on.
