Price: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 4.5 g The Nyx Matte Lipstick in Temptress is a bright salmon pink with a matte finish. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks come in a matte black tube with a clear part in the middle that allows you to see the product color inside. Temptress has thin and lightly moisturizing formula. The Nyx Matte Lipsticks are some of my favorite matte lip products, and they wear so comfortably on the lips, which is always something I look for in a lip product. Temptress has very good color payoff and gives the lips a quite opaque look. Since this color is on the lighter end of peachy coral shades, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I quite like lighter, but bright, lip colors like Temptress. XOX ♥

Price: $6.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.24 fl oz / 7 mL The RImmel Provocalips 16 HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour in Play With Fire is a classic cool toned red liquid lipstick. The Provocolips 16 HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour is a two step lip product. It comes in a thin tube with an opaque matte lip cream on one end and a gloss that locks in the color on the other. The Step 1 side applies very opaque and evenly to the lips. It dries to a matte finish pretty quickly and feels pretty sticky once it has dried. Because the product is so opaque, it can take a bit of time to make sure that the application looks good, but it is worth it to me. The Step 2 side is more like a gel than a gloss, since it has a pretty thick formula. I had to dip the wand back into the product three times to fully cover my lips. When worn together, it gives a balmy shine and it feels quite nice on the lips. It doesn't feel thick on the lips and the gloss is not sticky at all. After about an hour, the glossy shine is gone, but what is left behind is an intense lip stain that will not go away. I wore this product for eight hours before I noticed any type of fading, and I had to use makeup remover to get it off my lips. The color does not budge at all and lasts amazingly well through drinking and eating. I am extremely impressed by the longevity of this product and would suggest it to anyone, especially in darker or brighter shades like Play With Fire. XOX ♥
Price: $4.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 5 mL The Rimmel Show Off Matte Lip Lacquer in Apollo is a light peachy nude with a matte finish. The Show Off Matte Lip Lacquers come in the same packaging as the original Show Off Lip Lacquers, but they are made of a matte plastic. Not only is the package sealed with a sticker, you can also tell if someone had tested it out by if the center plastic is clear or filled with product, as I displayed in one of the photos.They have a long doe foot applicator with a little divot in the center that allows it to hold more product. Apollo is very opaque and applies very smoothly to the lips. It has a similar texture to the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams, but the formula is even thinner. This color is a bit unforgiving, and while it applies smoothly, it tends to set a bit patchy. I have also found that it takes a while for the product to dry, unlike most matte lip products I have used. It doesn't completely dry down for about an hour, but after that I didn't experience any issues with Apollo moving around. XOX ♥
Price: $6.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.24 fl oz / 7 mL The Rimmel Provocalips 16 HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour in Make Your Move is a warm medium coral red liquid lipstick. The Provocolips 16 HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour is a two step lip product. It comes in a pretty thin tube with an opaque matte lip cream on one side and a gloss that locks in the color on the other. The Step 1 side applies very opaque and evenly to the lips. It dries to a matte finish pretty quickly and feels pretty sticky once it has dried. Unfortunately, I would not be able to wear the step 1 side by itself. The Step 2 side is more like a gel than a gloss, it has a pretty thick formula, so I had to dip the wand back into the product three times to fully cover my lips. When worn together, it gives a balmy shine and it feels quite nice on the lips. It doesn't feel thick on the lips and the gloss is not sticky at all. After about an hour, the glossy shine is gone, but what is left behind is an intense lip stain that will not go away. I wore this product for eight hours before I noticed any type of fading, and I had to use makeup remover to get it off my lips.

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: $3.49 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 1.049 g / 0.037 oz The Nyx Slim Lip Pencil in Nude Beige is a warm, medium tan lip liner with a matte finish. The formula of Nude Beige is a bit on the dry side, but it still applies evenly to the lips. It does feel dry on the lips after applied, but I typically pair lip liners with a gloss, lipstick or at least a lip balm. With this lip liner, it's easy to create a sharp, clean outline around your lips and it prolongs the lip color. Nude Beige would be a great base for any brown, tan, nude and even neutral pink lip products. XOX ♥
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: $6 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.27 fl oz / 8 ml The Nyx Athens Soft Matte Lip Cream is a neutral peach liquid lipstick with a matte finish. The Soft Matte Lip Creams come in a matte lip gloss-like tube with a doe foot applicator. The formula of the Soft Matte Lip Creams is interesting, and a bit hard to describe. It has a thin, somewhat slick feel that sort of feels like an oil on the lips. It's this feeling that makes the Soft Matte Lip Creams feel quite comfortable and moisturizing. Athens has very opaque pigmentation and applies like paint to the lips, since it's such a full coverage product. XOX ♥
