Review: NYX Matte Lipsticks

I have been on a lipstick buying spree these last couple of weeks. I have never been a lipstick junkie ever in my life until now. One of my current lipstick obsessions are the NYX Matte Lipsticks. These have been out for awhile now in stores I don't know how I didn't know about them till now. 


PACKAGING: Comes in a long black sleek tube that has a clear part in the center where you can view the color. The tube is quite long compared to most lipstick tubes but doesn't add any weight. The part where the lipstick comes out is also clear.

FORMULATION: These lipsticks have a matte finish hence their name. These are some of the best matte lipsticks out there today drugstore and high-end wise. Most matte lipsticks are very drying and can make your lips look dry and cracked especially when worn for a long time. These however don't. They apply and feel so smooth on the lips and doesn't dry out throughout the day. They last for a long time too about 4-5 hours without eating and drinking. The pigmentation is very nice and potent. They come in 22 shades so there is something for everyone.

Here are some of my favorite colors and swatches of them.
