Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream Istanbul review!

Hey lovelies

So today I am reviewing another Soft Matte lip cream that I own. My sister gifted me a pack of Nyx lipppies that has three different colours. All of the colours are so lovely and wearable. Nyx is one brand we desperately need in India. They have such a huge range of products that are loved my makeup addicts worldwide. I must have been the last person to jump on the soft matte lip cream bandwagon. I always thought they would dry up my lips too much but I was so wrong! Turns out these are the most comfortable matte lipsticks that I own. All others tend to dry out the lips after a while but these never do. To see more pictures and swatches keep reading 🙂

Price- $5

Availability – Sephora India, Beautyjoint and Insta stores

These lip creams have a very soft creamy like texture. They are not your typical liquid matte lipsticks. They are actually in the cream form. The pigmentation is great and the colour of the tube matches the product inside. I have always been a fan of anything baby pink and this one is no exception. When I initially saw it in the tube, I thought it would be too light for me but turns out the actual product colour is a little bit darker than the outside packaging.

They have a bit of a balmy texture as I stated in my earlier review of the shade Prague. These glide on smoothly and do not dry out the lips. It actually feels like you have put on vaseline before applying this. The first coat may give a little bit of a sheer and uneven finish so it is better to go over in two coats atleast so all of the lips are covered.

The staying power is pretty great. It lasts around 5-6 hours on me with some fading whenever I eat something. Not that I mind, I like reapplying lipsticks as that makes me feel like I will someday finish atleast one of them 😛 It does transfer to your cups and spoons etc.

I think these are so great for people who have dry lips and want something that does not make their lips feel like the Thar desert!

  1. Gorgeous shade. I agree with you we need NYX in India, not that we dont have it but it’s expensive and only limited shades. I am liking the formula of these. Hope to get hands on this soon 🙂 Nice review

  3. Lovely color it is! I like Antwerp, addia ababa and san paulo a lot from this range.. I so want a big NYX and COLOURPOP dose in my life! Sadly none of them ships here as per my knowledge. How do you get all these?

    • Ah you should get those for sure! I guess for us in India the only way is to order through the Instagram stores. I placed a Colourpop order as well 🙂

  4. Pretty shade..I love nyx matte lip creams 🙂

  5. I have this shade and I look like zombie in this. Olive skin beauties look lovely in this.
