Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 4.5 g The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Pale Pink is a light cool toned pink with a matte finish. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks come in a matte black tube that is clear in the middle, so you can see the product inside. Pale Pink has a thin and comfortable formula that doesn't feel drying at all on the lips. It only begins to feel drying after a couple hours, like most lip products tend to do. Pale Pink has great color payoff, and while it does apply very evenly to the lips, it is a less forgiving color since it's so light. Because of this, I would suggest exfoliating the lips a bit before applying Pale Pink. The color is a bit hard to pull off, so I would probably wear it under some kind of gloss, but it is still pretty on its own. XOX ♥

Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: The Jordana Modern Matte Lipstick in Modern Frappuccino (03) is a medium dark brown with a brick red tone. The color reminds me a lot of the Pantone Color of the Year, Marsala. The Modern Matte Lipsticks come in a plastic tube with a clear lid. The packaging looks and feels quite cheap, and the writing on the tube rubbed off a lot with only one use. However, it's the product on the inside that really counts, and fortunately the lipstick is really nice. Matte Frappuccino applies very smoothly and doesn't tug on the lips. It can be the slightest bit patchy when applying it, but it's very easy to fix since the formula is pretty creamy. Matte Frappuccino feels pretty thin on the lips and while I woudn't call it moisturizing, it does not dry out the lips either. Like with most matte lip products, I would suggest applying a lip balm prior to applying Matte Frappuccino. If you are looking for a lip liner to wear with Matte Frappuccino, I suggest the Nyx Slim Lip Pencil in Rose Brown, as they are very close in color. After two hours of wear, Matte Frappuccino began to feel drying, but it wasn't bad at all. After three hours, it had faded unevenly, especially around the lip line, but somehow it still did not feel that dry. The color was completly gone after four hours. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Nyx's Website * Size: 0.16 oz / 4.5 g The Nyx Macaron Lippie in Violet is a medium cool toned purple with a cream finish. The Macaron Lippies come in a black tube with a clear middle that allows you to see the color inside. Violet has a thin but creamy formula that is very comfortable and pretty moisturizing on the lips. It has very good color payoff, and as you can see in the swatches and on my lips, it applies very evenly and opaque. Violet has good lasting power and for some reason, it left my lips stained pink, not purple. Since this lipstick is a straight up purple, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I prefer purples as a statement lip over vampy colors and even bright pinks and I find that they are more flattering on my cool skin tone.

Price: $8 * Buy At: Beauty Brands * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The Koco by Beauty Brands Lipstick in Apres-ski (L110) is a warm smoked peach with a cream formula. The KOCO lipsticks come in a black rectangular tube with a swatch of the color on the bottom. Oddly enough, the name of the color is not written anywhere on the package, it was only on the plastic safety seal. Apres-ski has a nice formula; it's smooth without being slippery and has very good color payoff. The color does not move or feather on me whatsoever. Apres-ski had a cream finish for an hour or so, but then it ended up looking matte. Once it lost its shine, it also began to feel drying, but this can always be fixed with a bit of gloss or lip balm.

Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 4.5 g The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Audrey is a medium pink with a matte finish. Although it is a matte lipstick, I feel that this shade does have a bit of a dull shine. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks come in a matte black tube with a clear spot in the middle where you can see the lipstick's color inside. Audrey glides onto the lips and is quite opaque. It has a barely there feel on the lips and provides a bit of moisture. I actually find this lipstick to be more comfortable to wear than many other lipsticks that are not matte. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks are some of my favorite matte lip products since they don't have a chalky look and they don't make the lips look dry at all. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.27 fl oz / 8 mL The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in London is a warm tan lip cream with a matte finish. The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams come in a lipgloss-like tube with a doe foot applicator. London has a very smooth, creamy formula that glides onto the lips. It has an opaque formula and it has full coverage on the lips. The Soft Matte Lip Creams don't give the lips a dry look and don't have a dry feel, as many matte lip products do. It does dry out after about an hour or two, but the color lingers and is easily revived with a lip balm or nude gloss. XOX ♥
Price: $16 * Buy At: MAC * Size: 0.1 oz / 3 g The MAC Lipstick in Twig is a darker muted pinky brown with a satin finish. Twig isn't quite matte and has a bit of a sheen, rather than a glossy look. Twig comes in the same black lipstick bullet package as the rest of the MAC line and has the classic MAC vanilla scent. Twig has a very smooth formula without being slippery. It doesn't quite glide onto the lips, but it does apply very evenly and opaque. It leaves the lips with a lightweight, slightly moisturizing feel. I really love the color of Twig and find it to be quite unique. I have plenty of darker neutral pink lipsticks, but Twig has more of a rosy tone than colors like Nyx Tea Rose. Twig would also be a good alternative to a plum or berry for a darker fall lip color. XOX ♥
Price: $6.50 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.11 oz / 3 g The Nyx Simply Nude Lip Cream in Fairest is a light peachy pink nude with a slightly matte cream finish. The Simply Lip Creams have a classic jumbo lip pencil packaging that twists up at the bottom. Fairest is very pigmented and is much more like a lipstick than a lip stain. Although it's a nude, Fairest does not need any building up at all to achieve an opaque look on the lips. Because of this, you would probably need to be careful while during application. It can also accentuate if you have dry lips, which has been a problem for me lately. Fairest provides a lot of moisture to the lips and feels slightly slippery, which makes it have a comfortable wear, but not a super long one. Unlike many jumbo lip pencils, these do not have a scent. XOX ♥
Price: $6.50 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 3 g / 0.11 oz The Nyx Simply Nude Lip Cream in Honey is a warm, somewhat peachy nude with a cream finish. The Simply Lip Creams come in a standard jumbo lip pencil package that twists up. The product does not have a scent, which I like. Unlike many jumbo lip pencils, these are quite pigmented and remind me a lot of a lipstick. Honey glides onto the lips and feels thin, moisturizing and quite comfortable on the lips. The texture is a bit slippery so it doesn't have the longest wear, but it doesn't make the product move around or bleed outside the lips. XOX ♥
Price: $5.49 * Buy At: CVS * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The Rimmel 113 Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick is a light peachy nude with a matte finish. The matte Lasting Finish lipsticks come in a matte red rube with Kate's signature in black on the lid. The color and color's name is on the bottom of each tube. 113 has good pigmentation, but is not opaque, which prevents the "foundation lips" look. The formula is thin and feels moisturizing and comfortable on the lips. I personally do not like the scent of the Lasting Finish lipsticks, but it doesn't bother me after I have applied the lipstick. 113 is a quite light nude, but I've always been a fan of these kinds of shades. They aren't everyone's cup of tea, but 113 is a great addition for people that love nude lip products. XOX ♥
