Now onto the lipsticks…
Everyone has been raving about the NYX Butter Lipsticks, which feel so (buttery!) soft and light on the lips and have a good colour payoff and leaves a nice sheen on the lips too. They are easy to apply,and just one swipe gives a decent colour, while another layer or two, gives even more colour. They last about 4 or so hours on the lips, all while they feel very comfortable to wear, almost like a lip balm.
I tried the shades Snow Cap, which is a nude shade and Lollies, a pale peachy-apricot shade, I am not personally that fond of nude or pale lips, so these shades are ideal for me, but as I really like the formula, and there are a massive 22 colours in the range, I'm definitely going to get my hands on a few of the darker shades.
Then there's the NYX Butter Gloss, which has a lovely soft and lightweight formula, that also feels so lovely on the lips, and unlike many other lipglosses, this one isn't sticky! And for a lipgloss, it has a surprisingly good pigmentation and colour payoff with a nice glossy sheen too. I tried the shade Strawberry Parfait which is a lovely fuchsia pink shade.
The next in line is the NYX Lip Cream in Simply Pink, which is a chubby style over sized lip crayon - and always loving lip crayons, I immediately fell in love with this one too. The pointed tip makes it easy to apply on the go, and it has a very pigmented look with just one swipe. It is soft and creamy (as the name suggests!), but the wear could be a little better, although I suspect that darker shades might be. The shade Simply Pink is a medium cool pink shade.
Then there's the NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colours, which is gives light to medium coverage with a frosty sheen. It is very soft and goes on smoothly on the lips, but sadly doesn't stay put for long. The shade Castle is a pale purple, which is not really a shade that I'd pick myself, but it is surprisingly wearable. It is a lovely lipstick, also considering the low price point, but personally I prefer the look, feel and wear of the Lip Butter.
Finally, there's the NYX High Voltage Lipstick, which comes in a skinny twist up tube. Another soft and smooth, and also with a full pigmentation in a single swipe. It leaves the lips feeling soft and moisturised, and with a nice sheen, and if you leave it for a few moments to dry, it lasts on the lips for a few hours, while still leaving the lips feeling comfortable. The shade 'Sweet' is a slightly dusty pink colour, that's very wearable.

So there you go, a selection of lipsticks and glosses from NYX, and I dare say something for every taste. Apart from the purple Lip Smacking Fun Colours (which may just be the due to the shade), I really find it difficult to pick favourites amongst these, as seriously, they are all lovely in their own right, and especially considering they are so budget friendly too - so I will certainly be checking out the ranges and look to add a few darker shades to my collection.
