Lip Product Week Day Four: NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick Review

Welcome back to Lip Product Week Day Four. When my local Boots started stocking NYX, I went straight for the Soft Matte Lip Creams and that was it. But one day when I was looking through their many shades I spotted the Lingerie Liquid Lipsticks and was instantly drawn to one particular shade.

The shade I picked up from this range is called Exotic and is a peach toned nude that looks almost terracotta in the tube depending on lighting. However when it's on the lips it has much more of a pink tone and dries down darker than when it's first applied. This is a brilliant colour for a variety of skintones as it looks different shades once dry. As a fairer toned girl I like how it looks and makes a statement when I wear it but I'm sure it'll like completely different on girls who have more olive and deeper skintones.

Another liquid lipstick, another doe foot applicator but this one looks a little longer than ones tried before. It feels a bit more firm as well which personally works better when applying the product. It means that you get a cleaner line and aren't likely to have patchy edges or feathering along the lip line. It can hold slightly more product than necessary but once it's applied to the lips you wouldn't really know that it had that extra product on it. A lot of the time you don't need to put the want back in the tube to get more product as one swipe is enough to deposit enough colour to give a highly pigmented opaque finish.

There's a theme to this week and it's products that do not budge when they've dried down. Sure, matte finish lipsticks can be uncomfortable to wear and can leave lips dry and somewhat flaky but they do not move. This can be applied at nine in the morning and still be going strong at four or five in the afternoon. Sure it may fade a little along the inner parts of your lips but from personal experience most lipsticks/lip products do this. It's a lot to do with when you talk, eat or drink. However straight on biting down on something will not take away massive chunks of this lipstick. It may fade slightly but it will not leave massive chunks of your lip visible where the lipstick should be.

Reapplication like with every long wearing liquid lipstick can be tricky as the drier your lips are the harder it is to get an even, smooth, flawless looking colour. A bit of lip balm about ten minutes before reapplying this colour should ease reapplication and give lips some of their lost moisture back. However there really isn't a lot that can be done to give lips the same look as when this was first applied. It's just how liquid lipsticks work and it's something I've personally had to learn to deal with to enjoy the long wearing matte finish.

If you've had your eye on some of the high end liquid lipsticks I'd say put them on a wishlist and check these out instead. They have twelve shades in total, mostly nude shades but with some deeper more interesting shades as well. They only cost £6.50 so two of these will still be cheaper than some of the higher end products that claim to do exactly the same thing. Even if you can't find a shade to suit you still check this out, you never know when a brand is going to expand their colour range.

Have any of you tried these? Did you like them? Do you have any colour recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments.
