Review and Swatches: NYX Round Lipsticks

Opal/Snow White/ Orange Soda/ Strawberry Milk/ Castle/ Power

Opal/Snow White/ Orange Soda/ Strawberry Milk/ Castle/ Power

Opal: A sheer purple/blue glossy color. It looks best if used under a lipgloss. As you will see from the swatch on my lips, it doesn't look all that great by itself. My lips are super chapped right now, so I apologize. Even if my lips aren't chapped, this accentuates my lip lines. When I apply a gloss over it, it looks so much better.

Snow White: A medium toned true red. The name is so fitting, it looks exactly like the lip color that Snow White wears. Out of all the lipsticks I got, this is my favorite. The formula is amazing, and it looks great on the lips. I can see why it is always sold out! It is best to use a lip liner with this, which I did not put on when I swatched it on my lips and you can notice I applied it very sloppy ;)

'Snow White'

Orange Soda: God, I hate this. It so hideous on me. I thought it was going to be more orange, but it is way too beige. It just looks disgusting on my lips.I hate it so much, I can't even a take a good picture of it swatched on my lips; it really emphasizes my dry lips and lip lines. What I am currently using this for it to lighten other orange lip products. I can apply it under a brighter orange lipstick or lip gloss to make it lighter and more creamy looking. I have a swatch of this applied under my Revlon lip gloss in 'Papaya'. I really like the combo.

Strawberry Milk: A pigmented, light pink. Nothing too special besides the fact that it is very creamy and pigmented. The formula is very smooth, but my lips don't like it very much. I like the color, but I hate how it looks on my lips.

Castle: A medium toned, slightly shimmery purple. It is slightly vampy, but not as dark as most dark purples. I actually really like this, I think it will be a great color for fall.

Power: A dusty, greyed, lavender color. Seems to be a mix of MAC 'Lavender Whip' and MAC 'Blooming Lovely'. I really love colors like this, and this is no exception. It is smooth, and very pigmented.

I purchased these on eBay, seller joy017. I paid $10.89 plus shipping for the 6 lipsticks. Quite a good deal, right? And she included a free gift [a NYX lip liner] with this purchase. 

My favorite is Snow White, it is the most beautiful red lipstick I have ever seen. And the price makes it even more amazing!

I have been wanting to do this for a while, but my lips got sooo chapped. When I get sick, my lips peel like crazy for some reason, and I am trying to get them back to normal. It doesn't help that my lips are naturally very dry. But hopefully, you can get an idea of what these look like on the lips :D
