Review & Swatches: NYX Round Lipsticks

I finally got a chance to swatch my 3 newest NYX Round Lipsticks. I've also used these a number of times and feel like I can give a good review on the three.

NYX Indian Pink, NYX Fig, NYX Haute Melon

NYX Indian Pink - A slightly shimmery shade of a warm salmon pink. There's a hint of gold in it which would be flattering on any skin tone. There's also a hint of iridescence to it too with the pink and gold.

NYX Haute Melon - A bright reddish coral. The consistency of this lipstick is different from the other round lipsticks I own by NYX and I have a feeling it's because this one is made in China. The case of the lipstick also feels different - it feels very cheap and flimsy. I bought these from Cherry Culture so I know they're not fakes...but had I purchased this on eBay or anywhere else I'd definitely wonder. The lipstick consistency is much more dry than the other lipsticks I own by NYX. 

NYX Fig - A bright glossy warm pink lipstick. It's very bright on the lips (especially if you already have very pigmented lips) and has a tint of peach in it. I really love this shade and am glad I picked it up!

Overall I'm happy with the choices I picked from NYX. I picked these all up at $2.49/USD on CherryCulture.com the last time they had a sale.

  3. I've always wanted to try NYX lippies! Fig is definitely a colour I'd go for :) I wonder why Haute Melon was so different! NYX has always puzzled me with its inconsistency in terms of the manufacture of its products.

  8. Haute Melon is one of my favourite colours! I think its because the finish is different that it feels more waxy. But I actually liked it because most of my other NYX lippies melted. :( Fig is also a colour I want. :) Could you do a FOTD with Indian Pink? It's so pretty!
