Another overdue review lol. Picked up 3 NYX round lipstick's at DonKi (Don Quijote) in Oahu for only 99 cents yay :D Gave two to my mom and kept one in "Pecan Pie." I lovelovelove NYX lipstick (and I am NOT a lipstick user). However, I haven't even attempted to order lipstick from their website since their swatches are NOTHING like the actual color :/ I got B52 for my mom online and the color looks absolutely nothing like the swatch blehhh.

What they say: This is a velvet textured lip cream that covers with rich colors while moisturizing your lips with each application.

The good stuff:

The good stuff:
- Relatively inexpensive
- Smooth and moisturizing NOT sticky
- Glides on effortlessly
- Doesn't dry out my lips
- Rich, pigmented shades
- Pretty long-lasting
- Cruelty free
The low-down:
- I doubt I'll ever find them for 99 cents again! :(
- Did settle into my lip lines a bit.
My take: The Pecan Pie shade does this LOVELY nude lip for me... I just LOVE it :D And it goes well with my hair color now lol. Like I mentioned all the good points, I barely have anything bad to say about their lipstick besides that it did settle into my lip lines after a few hours and didn't last all day, but a relatively long time without becoming dry. The color is so rich that I use my Avon rollerball gloss over it to tone it down a bit... makes it the perfect shade. This lipstick is definitely worth it - if only NYX's swatches were more accurate!
Everyday nude lip
Base: EDM Natural lipgloss in Lemon Spice
Lipstick: NYX round lipstick in Pecan pie
Lipgloss: Avon Colortrend rollerball lipgloss in Watermelon
SWATCHES!
