Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 8 mL The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Moscow is a deep navy. Moscow is a part of Nyx’s newest release from the Soft Matte Lip Cream line. Nyx’s Soft Matte Lip Creams come in a colored tube that corresponds to the product inside. The product has a sweet bakery scent similar to the Butter Glosses; I'm not a huge fan of the scent, but it doesn't bother me either. These are not matte liquid lipsticks, they are lip creams, so they do not dry and set completely down like a liquid lipstick. They still give the lips a nice matte finish, but without the drying feel. The texture of the product is more like a mousse than anything. Moscow isn't super opaque, allowing a bit of the lips to show through, which doesn't really bother me, but it could be a deal breaker for some. As far as statement lips go, I think navy looks super cool, especially on my cool toned skin. I know the shade is not for everyone, but at $6, it is worth a shot! XOX ♥

Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.16 oz The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Ultra Dare is a medium dark cool toned grey with a matte finish. Ultra Dare is part of Nyx’s newest release from the Matte Lipstick line. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks come in a matte black tube that is clear in the center, making it easy to see the color inside. I am quite a fan of grey-toned lipsticks, so I figured why not go bold with a straight up grey. I don’t think that it would flatter warm skin tones very much, but I like how it looks against my cool skin tone. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks are the most comfortable matte lipstick I have tried and Ultra Dare is no different. The product glides on to the lips and feels moisturizing on the lips. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 8 mL The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Dubai is a dark red-brown with a matte finish. Dubai is a part of Nyx’s newest release from the Soft Matte Lip Cream line. The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams are packaged in a colored tube that corresponds to the product inside. Like the rest of the line, Dubai has a sweet bakery scent, that I’m not crazy about, but it doesn’t keep me from using the product. The Soft Matte Lip Creams do not dry completely down like a matte liquid lipstick, as they are a lip cream. Because of this, it gives a more flattering look to the lips and doesn’t feel drying at all. The product feels smooth on the lips and does not flake off if you rub your lips together. Dubai is super pigmented, but doesn’t give as harsh of a look as a completely opaque lipstick or matte liquid lipstick. This makes this darker shade more wearable, something I think many people would enjoy. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.16 oz / 4.5 g The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Up The Bass is a dark grey-toned purple with a matte finish. Up The Bass is part of Nyx’s newest release from the Matte Lipstick line. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks are packaged in a matte black tube that’s clear in the center, making it easy to see the color inside. I love the formula of Nyx’s Matte Lipsticks, they are probably the most moisturizing matte I have tried. Up The Bass glides onto the lips, and feels very comfortable on the lips, despite the matte finish. The wear time of these lipsticks are more along the lines of a typical lipstick, requiring a couple of touch-ups throughout the day. However, I find that the occasional touch-ups are worth the comfortable, moisturizing wear. I personally love grey-toned lip colors, so Up The Bass is right up my alley, and could be an easier way to wear purple lips for those with cool skintones like mine. XOX ♥
Price: $2.69 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.11 oz /3.2 g The Wet n Wild Matte Velvet Lip Crayon in Lie Lack is a cool toned pink with a matte finish. When swatched and applied on the lips, Lie Lack appears much more pink than expected from the packaging. The Wet n Wild Matte Velvet Lip Crayons are a typical twist up crayon. The packaging has a matte finish and the product color is featured on the end. Lie Lack is a bit sheer, but not patchy at all. Because of the opacity, it doesn’t appear as bright or pale on the lips as you would expect. It glides onto the lips, without feeling slippery. Lie Lack has a matte finish on the lips without giving the ‘desert mouth’ look; infact, it is very comfortable to wear. Unlike popular liquid matte lipsticks, Lie Lack does not set and dry to your lips, which makes it comfortable to wear, but does not ensure no transfer. It is not the longest lasting lip color, but Lie Lack leaves a subtle stain on the lips. XOX ♥
Price: $2.69 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.11 oz / 3.2 g The Wet n Wild Velvet Matte Lip Color in Charred Cherry is a medium berry with a matte finish. From the looks of the packaging, I thought it would be more cool toned, but unfortunately it is not. The Wet n Wild Matte Velvet Matte Lip Color are a typical twist up crayon. The packaging has a matte finish and the product color can be seen on the end. Charred Cherry is not completely opaque, but it does not apply patchy whatsoever. Because of the opacity, it doesn’t appear as intense on the lips as you would expect. Charred Cherry has a matte finish on the lips without making the lips look flat or dry; infact, it is very comfortable and somewhat moisturizing on the lips. Unlike liquid matte lipsticks, the Matte Velvet Lip Colors do not set and dry to your lips, which makes it comfortable to wear, but does not ensure no transfer when drinking or eating. Although, the texture is not slippery, so you don’t have to worry about it moving around throughout the day. They are not the longest lasting lip products, but Charred Cherry does leave a stain.

Price: $5 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Scrooge is a dark, warm berry with a matte finish. Scrooge is a part of ColourPop’s Christmas collection. The ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips come in a clear tube and a typical doe foot applicator. I typically am not a fan of colors like this, but for some reason, I really like how Scrooge looks on me. The formula is thin and very opaque, it needed no building up to get intense coverage on the lips. It can be pretty drying after application, but it feels more comfortable on the lips after a little bit. I honestly don't feel it on my lips throughout the day. Scrooge does have very good lasting power, but since it's a darker shade, I would keep it on you in case you need to touch up during the day. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: 3.2 g The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Platform is a medium warm tan nude with a matte finish. Platform is a part of ColourPop’s Christmas collection. The ColourPop Ultra Matte Lips come in a clear tube and a classic doe foot applicator. Platform looks really light and peachy when first applying it, but it gets noticeably darker and more muted as it dries. I really like how the end color looks on me, it’s nude, but not too light where it washes me out. Platform has very opaque coverage and a thin formula, making it super easy to apply. It does have a dry feeling on the lips since it is matte, but it feels pretty thin on the lips, so it is not bad. XOX ♥
Price: $6 * Buy At: ColourPop Website * Size: The ColourPop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Tulle is a muted burgundy with a matte finish. The Ultra Matte line comes with a typical doe foot applicator, making application quick and easy. The product applies quite smoothly to the lips and Tulle's formula is very opaque. The lipstick dries quickly, leaving the lips with a very matte look. Tulle feels rather thin on the lips, but unfortunately drying. To me, the product feels almost like a dry film on the lips. However, you don't particularly notice it unless you press your lips together. Tulle stays on the lips pretty well and does not smudge or move around, but some of the color will come off if you are drinking something. The only thing I don't like about this liquid lipstick is that if you rub your lips together, the product can sort of flake off and this can be unflattering. So, I would definitely keep the product with you throughout the day for touch ups. XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Beauty Brands * Size: 0.14 oz / 4 g The KOCO by Beauty Brands Matte Lipstick in Desert Affair is a medium burnt orange with a matte finish. The KOCO lipsticks come in a rectangular black tube, with a colored end to indicate the product color. No where on the tube is the lipstick's name written, which can be a bit inconvenient. The formula of this lipstick is pretty dry, so I could not wear it on its own, but it wears comfortably on the lips when applied on top of a lip balm. I'm sure that this sort of burnt orange shade is not for everyone, but I quite like all kinds of orange lip colors, so I think it's a nice way to wear orange in a more subtle way. XOX ♥
