One of the lip products I’ve been using lately is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream. Although I’m usually more into lip liners and lipsticks, these babies made it to my faves as well. I’ve seen these lip creams all over Instagram, so after receiving them in this enormous NYX haul (click!), I had to try them out. I’ve tested these lip creams for a while now, so today I’m going to review the colors Amsterdam, Stockholm, Istanbul & Sydney. If you want to know what I think of them + see some swatches, keep reading!
PACKAGING
I think the packaging of these lip creams is really cool. The tube is made from this rubberized material, which makes it feel very nice. They’re also pretty small, which makes it great to take them with you when you’re travelling!
SWATCHES
Swatch time! I think these swatches speak for themselves: how pretty are all these shades right? I think Stockholm is my favorite, but I love each and every shade to be honest. As you can see, these lip creams have a kind of ‘soft matte’ finish. They’re matte, but they don’t have that annoying dry texture to them. I also think the color pay off of these lip creams is great. Only Sydney is a bit less opaque, but you can’t see that when you’re wearing it on the lips.

ON THE LIPS
This is how all these beautiful colors look on my lips. As you can see, the pigmentation of this lip creams is very nice. They’re not the most pigmented lip products I’ve seen, but I like that about them. They look softer on your lips than a lip pencil or a lipstick, which is great for Spring or Summer! They also don’t accentuate any dry patches on my lips, which is great.

FULL FACE
And this is me wearing the lipsticks full faced. Which one is your favorite on me? I would love to know in the comments below!
YAY OR NAY?
These NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams are for sure a yay for me. They sit comfortably on my lips, the color selection is amazing and they stay on for a very long time. And of course, the price point of these is also very nice: €7,50 for a great lip product is definitly a good deal if you ask me! So yeah, I would definitely recommend them and I can’t wait to add some more shades to my collection (I heard great things about Cannes!).
This Monday is even more stressful for me than a normal Monday already is. Not only am I super behind on my schedule for uni, I also have a very long day practicing my plea for the mock trial ánd I need to finish packing my suitcase: tomorrow I’m flying out to NYC! I’m praying to the lord I won’t arrive jetlagged, ’cause there’s so much stuff I want to do! Anyways, I’m gonna go now – too much stuff to do… Bye guys <3
HAVE YOU TRIED THE NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM?

Wat een prachtige kleuren! Vooral die rode vind ik je echt geweldig staan!
Wat een toffe kleurtjes! Ik was zelf al heel lang benieuwd naar Stockholm en dat is echt een geweldige kleuren :). De roze kleuren staan je lekker fris en de andere wat volwassener.
Ik vind het echt een super product en je hebt trouwens echt mooie kleurtjes! Ik heb alleen Addis Ababa en ik zou willen dat ik er meer had..
Love it! Veel plezier in NYC chick, ik ben jaloers! XO

Mooie kleurtjes allemaal, denk dat ik Istanbul ga scoren!
I brought some of these lip creams back with me from the US last month, and I absolutely love them! I’ve pretty much been wearing Stockholm pretty much every single day this month (:
