Here you will find swatches and reviews of the following NYX lip products:

Liquid Lingerie: Embellishment, Exotic, Ruffle Trim. (£6.50)

Lip Cream: Stockholm, Cannes. (£5.50)

It has been really hard for me to find lip swatches of NYX lip products from people with pale complexion (or as pale as mine), so after buying 9 shades, I decided it was time to do my own lip swatches and reviews.

And who knows, maybe they'll be useful to some of you! 💜

ps. I bought these off Boots, but NYX has its own website where you can buy them. I do find Boots is cheaper though. 

Stone Fox

This is one of my least favourite shades, unfortunately. It's a dark blue grey and I think it has a green undertone. I was urged to buy this when I saw Jeffree Star wearing it. But I forgot he films in studio lights and he has bigger and probably nicer lips than mine. This colour can get a bit patchy, and it can look or bad depending on the light. It's not a great colour to wear somewhere dark. Unless you're really into black lipstick.

Softspoken

One of my favourites. It's a warm shade (which could be nude depending on your skintone). It's kind of a brown dark pink -if you could say that. I think it goes well with so many different eye looks. Love it!

10/10

Sandstorm

I have been wanting to buy this for sometime now. It's the perfect light moka shade. In my opinion it can work with both a dramatic look (as long as it's on the nude side) or with an everyday look. This lip colour compliments earthy eyeshadows. Absolutely adore it!

10/10

Brooklyn Thorn

I'm still not sure about this one. Even though I like how it looks on pictures and on camera, I'm not sure I love how it looks in person on me. It's a greyish dark brown colour. Very cooltoned (which I'm not mad at at all). Thing is, I think I'm too pale to pull it off. Maybe during winter time...

7/10

 Embellishment

Another shade that looks great on camera and pictures, but I'm not so sure about in person. I have to admit though, this is a unique grey mauve colour that I'm happy to have in my collection. I think this is one of those colours that can look amazing with a very simple eye look, but can also support a dramatic eye look. 

9.5/10

Exotic

This is a lot darker in person than it looks on pictures (at least on me). It's definitely a shade I want to wear during the day, otherwise it looks like a vamp red. It's a brick red colour with some softer pink undertones. 

8/10

Ruffle Trim

I've been wanting to buy this for sometime as well. It does look more orange in person and on camera than in pictures, and again, it all depends on the light. It's a beautiful colour, and I can't wait to use it on monochromatic makeup looks, as orange is one of my fav colours to use on eye looks. It's a light brick colour.

9/10

Stockholm

This is a bit too light for me I feel, even though it's a beautiful peachy nude colour. If you're pale you have to be careful with light peachy shades, otherwise they may wash you out. This can definitely support some warm smokey eye, or even an everyday summer look. 

7/10

Cannes

I got this after I saw my friend Milly wearing it. It's a unique rosy nude colour, perfect for spring. I'm not particularly into 'spring' or 'summer' colours, but I don't have anything similar in my collection, so it's always good to have variety. I think it can compliment any warm  light nude eye makeup or even a simple cat-eye. I feel both this one and Stockholm can also be worn on a bare face.

8/10

General comments:

Horrendous applicator.

Decent quantity for the price.

They all have a chemical smell apart from the lip creams.

The formula is a bit thick and applies a bit weirdly at first (apart from the Liquid Suede).

I strongly believe that they're worth the price and a great alternative to many high end brands (plus they're cruelty free!).

My favourite shades are Sandstorm, Softspoken, Embellishment and Ruffle Trim.

My favourite formula of the three is the Liquid Suede.

I hope you found this review and swatches useful!
