Hey, hey, hey!

The matte liquid lipstick trend is one that I have always loved! One of the first high end makeup products I bought was a Kat Von D "Everlasting Liquid Lipstick" in Berlin. It was way too bright for me and k never wore it. Well, at least in public. I did, however, try it on in my room by myself and dream about the day I would be bold enough to wear it in public. That, unfortunately, never came. Sigh. 

My love for the liquid lipstick, though, has not subsided. So when I saw the display of the NYX "Lip Lingerie" range in CVS I knew a review was in order. 

I picked up 3 different colors; Lace Detail, Bedtime Flirt and Embellishment. They all look surprisingly similar in the tube but they swatch very differently.

Lace Detail is the lightest of the bunch. It is a peachy nude color that is very, very subtle but perfect for everyday. It swatches and applies kind of patchy but if you simply use two coats, it gives a wonderful day nude shade that I really enjoy. 

Bedtime Flirt is my FAVE. This shade has an orange undertone when you swatch it but comes off as a beautiful terracota color on the lips. I have never been one for any form of orange shade of lipstick but I LOVE this. It is so flattering and easy to apply! One coat and you are good to go. 

Embellishment is the darkest of the bunch. It's is a mauve-y purple with a gray undertone. It's swatches and applies very patchy but again, apply a second coat and you are golden. This color is super similar ( at least in my opinion) to Colourpop's Lumiere 2. But I like this one so much better.

Now, on to the formula of these babies. They are PERFECTION. I have read reviews that said they are uber drying and patchy. My experience with them is the opposite! I think the formula is so comfortable! They apply in layers really easily and also reapply very well. I wore them throughout the day at school and they were so low maintenance, which is a major bonus! Each shade wore of very evenly and naturally, too! 

Overall, I say RUN to your closest drugstore that sells NYX and get these puppies while you can! I am definitely going to go back and try more shades! 

Have any of you tried these lippies?! I would love to hear your thoughts on them in the comments below!
