Remember when I said that I'm on a mission of finding a dark lipstick. In that quest I bougt two new lipsticks. One of them is soft matte lip cream from Nyx.
The colour Transylvania is the darkest one of the soft matte lip cream line and I wasn't sure if I should buy it, because the reviews of this colour are not so great. So I actually put it out of my shopping cart. But then after a month or so it went back in my shopping cart and I said to myself that I will make it work somehow. So here it is.
On the Nyx website you can read the describtion: Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable and unlike some matte lipstick formulas also moisturizing.
Do I agree wit this?
The finish is definetly matte, with this I agree. But unfortunately I can't say that it goes on silky smooth. In fact the application is not easy. It goes on uneven and I had to go over lips multiple times to achieve some sort of acceptable result. It also emphasise dry patches. It is also far from moisturizing, in fact I would say that the more you have it on the lips, the more is drying.
On the close up photo of my lips you can see how uneven it aplies and this is after going over the lips multiple times.
As I say, the lip cream sets matte and because it is so dry you get the feeling that won't budge. So yes, it is durable, even tough it did't survive a meal. It dissapears from the center of the lips and because of its dark colour it is very visible that the colour is gone from the center so you will have to reapy it.
Although this lip cream has its flaws I'm sattisfied with the colour, let's say that from the distance it doesn't look uneven :) The smell is nice, a mixture of vanilla, cocos and rum.
I bougt the lip cream on Slovenian beauty site mojadrogerija.si and it was 10,19 €.
Have you ever tried Nyx soft matte lip creams? What colours and how they perform?
Have a great day! ;)
