The Breakdown:
Price: $7.00
Contains: 0.13 Ounces
Scent: Slight Chemical Smell
Available: Online, Ulta, and at most drugstores.
Part One: Packaging
Nyx did a great job on the packaging in my opinion, especially for the price range. It's sleek and different than most of their other packaging. But while I like the outside packaging, I don't much care for the applicator. It has that flat paddle look that I just don't care for, but it works. 4 out of 5 for packaging.
Part Two: Color
So this line of lipsticks are called Lingerie because they are nude colors. Now, most companies do nude colors as the color of a girl like me's pasty white skin. I love the fact that they have darker colors that are not only great for my dark skinned gals out there that want a nude color too, but even for girls like me that just don't care for completely nude lips. With that said, most of the colors are warmer toned and it was hard finding a color that would go with my cool complexion, and I'm still not sure I picked one that is great on me, but it's what I got. 4 out of 5 for color.

So this one is hard to judge. Does it feel comfortable on the lips? Yes. Does it dry down quickly to a Matte texture? Yes. Is it long lasting? Yes and No. Now if I compare it to most other drugstore "matte" liquid lipsticks, it hit it out of the park. But, If I just judge it completely as it is, I don't 100% care for it. After eating it wore off very patchy and weird, and that was surprising because after I put it on, it had NO transfer. But somehow it just looked odd. I also don't think it really layered well, as it had that gross thick texture that most liquid lipstick have if you try to re-apply. I'll give the formula a 3 out of 5. Not bad, but not my favorite by far.

If this was just against other drugstore brands, it would probably get a 4 out of 5, but as it wore ugly and I had to completely take it off after eating and reapply, and there are other affordable options out there, I'll give it...
3 out of 5 Lippies.
