I've wanted to do this post for AGES, since the NYX Lip Lingerie's are one of my favourite liquid lipstick formula's ever plus they're super affordable. I'm sure you've all heard how amazing they are already from other youtubers and bloggers, but I thought I'd feature my swatches so that way you can see the colours on a medium (asian) skin tone! I have two shades of the lip lingerie's - Push-Up (a light pinky brown nude) and Ruffle Trim (a dark pink mauve).
They now have a NYX stand alone store in Westfield Stratford - amazing?! I can't wait to visit it, or you can purchase NYX products from Boots stores. If you go to a Boots and they only have the lip lingerie testers, so no actual products in stock, you can always purchase them online from Boots and do a store collection for free - they normally allow you to pick it up from store the next day!
First up, I'll make this review super easy by listing my pro's and con's for the lip lingerie's.
PRO'S
- Opaque colour pay-off in one swatch
- Dry completely matte in a couple of minutes
- Affordable at £6.50
- Huge shade range within nude/mauve/pink/brown shades, which are suitable for all skin tones
- Very long lasting, only comes off when in contact with oil (e.g. oily food)
CON'S
- No shades available in brighter colours e.g. reds, purples
- Get thick and crusty if you re-apply another layer whilst the 1st layer is still drying, SO only apply 1-2 layers whilst it is still wet on the lips
- Can remove with a makeup wipe but sometimes have to use oil-based makeup remover

RUFFLE TRIM
PUSH-UP
I don't know if you can tell, but with Push-Up I had the issue where the product built up and got ugly thick and settled in my lip lines - I applied one layer, and then probably 30 seconds later I went in and applied a little bit more on the patchy areas, BUT because the 1st layer had already started to dry it just became a mess. This had never happened to me before because I normally apply my liquid lipstick with no distractions - so basically, apply the lip lingerie's in one go and THEN leave it to fully dry. It will then look smooth and amazing!
Overall, I love these liquid lipstick's so much and I cant wait to go out and buy more shades. They're affordable, dry completely matte and last forever - Push-Up especially is a colour I use constantly because it's a great nude shade for my skin tone and literally does not come off. In the swatch picture above I wore it without a lip liner, but I love pairing it with either MAC Spice or Whirl lip liner to add some definition. Ruffle Trim I normally pair with MAC Soar lip liner (MAC lip liners are my fave lols).
I'd highly recommend you all go out and try the NYX Lip Lingerie's, I promise you won't regret it. They're one of my favourite liquid lipstick formula's, along with the Sephora Cream Lip Stains, and you can't beat the affordable price.
I hope you found the blog post useful and if you have any questions, leave them in the comments below or message me on Instagram or via email. I'll speak to you all in my next post!
