With my naturally red lips, this wasn’t purple on me at all. And don’t get me wrong it’s still totally gorgeous! But in everyone else’s swatches, it looks like it’s going to be this mind-blowing eggplant shade, and I just couldn’t get it there without plum or black liner underneath (which is totally cheating.) Even with three layers, it was just red, red, red on me.Ī sexy red that’s totally ’90s ( Faith would have worn the hell out of this shade), but still. On my lips, though… Transylvania is yet another dark, moody red. It’s this beautiful “matte deep violet” (description right from the NYX site), and it looks like it’s going to turn you into an instant Bad Grrl, with capitalization totally necessary. The colour: In the tube, Transylvania is gorgeous. NYX Soft Lip Cream in Transylvania swatches – after 15 min So I fidget and press them together to compensate, and this lipstick (which never truly sets) heads for my lipline faster than an ex who can’t get away from you fast enough. They have dry patches galore, all of which this lipstick catches on, and after half an hour, my lips get uncomfortable. They’re not just dry they’re Alberta-dry. And it’s way more comfortable than a retro matte, so that’s nice too.īut my lips are DRY, you see. And it smells like cupcake batter, which I also like because I’m not a monster. It feels light and airy without too much transfer, which I like. I can see why other people like it, but I just don’t. The formula: Alright, so I’m just gonna stick my head out there and say it: I don’t like the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream formula.
So, a couple weeks ago, I decided to change things up a little. Lather, rinse, repeat day in and day out. Man, it has been a LONG time since I reviewed any makeup! I feel like I just haven’t had the time or energy to wear any recently – my everyday face consists of tinted moisturizer ( Rodial foundation and Clarins Beauty Flash Balm), a light brow ( Annabelle Skinny Brow Liner, of course), and like, nothing else. The product: NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cream in 21 Transylvania
