[Review] NYX Round Lipstick Review

(From left to right) Athena, Cinnamon Sugar, Chambord, Heredes, Margarita, Vitamin, Femme, Watermelon, Peach, Gardenia, Hebe, Saturn

Athena: HOLY CRAP. This color is light! I would never wear this color personally because it’s a super light pink. It is a very frosty color and has white/light pink shimmer to it. 

Cinnamon Sugar: This color is very…brown. I think it would like nice on people with a darker skin tone because it would almost come out to a nude. But this color actually doesn’t look that bad on me with a lip gloss on top. I just don’t reach for it very often. It does have shimmer and light glitter in it. 

Chambord: This is a nice bronze-y color. Again, it does need a gloss on top to me it most wearable. Not a color I reach for very often though. It does have light copper-y shimmer. 

Heredes: This color is a dark brown-y peach color. This one has no shimmer and it very opaque!

Margarita: This is an ultra-shimmery medium peachy/pink color. This one has a ton of shimmer and light glitter in it!

Vitamin: This is a lighter peach-y color. Again, it has a ton of shimmer and gold glitter to it. It does have a slight gold undertone. 

Femme: I actually kind of like this color because it’s just so SHOCKINGLY pink. It is literally a neon pink and it’s a fun going out lipstick. Not for the faint at heart! Also, there’s no shimmer, just pure color.

Watermelon: This is a copper-y bronze/orange-y color. It has a gold undertone again. There is shimmer/frost to this lipstick.

Peach: This color is not a peach color. haha. It’s a nice maroon color with silver/pink shimmer. It’s very interesting and a color I would wear. This is a very frosty color. 

Gardenia: A nice shimmer-y red color with pink glitter. This color is very similar to peach!

Hebe: A darker red shimmery color. This has a maroon frost to it. 

Saturn: This color is very similar to Hebe. The only difference is this color has a little bit more of a bronze tone to it!

Conclusion: I’m honestly not crazy about these lipsticks. I just don’t care for the formula. They’re really slippery and messy. I feel like they’re going to smudge all over my face when I wear these. Also, the colors I have are almost all frosty, and I don’t care for frosty lipsticks. Yes, NYX does have a lot of other lipsticks that don’t have any shimmer, but I ordered these blindly online so I didn’t really know what to expect.  

But Morgan… is it worth the money?

Honestly, no. Yes, they’re cheap. I believe they’re around 3-4 dollars at Ulta. But I feel like it would be a better idea to spend a couple dollars more and get a nicer lipstick!
