NYX Lip Lingerie Lipstick - Embellishment






Nyx isn't a brand that's been on my radar for very long. A couple of months ago, in one of my far too often ASOS orders, I picked up a lip cream in the shade London and I instantly fell head over heels in love with the formula and promptly decided I needed them all. 


After collecting almost half of the whole collection of I spotted these Lingerie Lipsticks and began trawling through swatches, deciding what one to try first (my willpower to only get one needs a gold star or something).

The shade I chose is Embellishment which is a muted, deep, warm toned mauve with some pink and brown tones to it. It's gorgeous - just not on me. It's far too dark for my skin tone and even though I love a vampy lip, something about this shade just makes me look ill. The formula on the other hand is completely for me. I adore it. It's creamy to apply but dries to a soft matte finish after about a minute. It doesn't really get uncomfortable throughout wear, but around the 6 hour mark it does dry down significantly more and every imperfection becomes terrifyingly apparent. However I do think that's mostly, if not all, down to the darkness of the shade and not the formula but I'll be sure to update you when I pick up a few more of these in lighter colours.
It's opaque on application, is not patchy in the slightest and lasts around 7 hours although the longer you wear it and the more you use your mouth (... um?) it does start to crumble and flake especially as it continues drying.

I think I'll need to get a few more of these to give a full review because I have a feeling that the lighter shades are going to perform differently. I am definitely a fan of the formula though and for £6.50 they are absolutely one to try if you haven't already.

Have you tried these? Do you have a recommendation of what shade I should try next?
