Review: NYX Round Lipstick in Femme and Strawberry Milk


Yet another lippie review tonight and it's gonna be a review on the ever so popular NYX Round Lipstick!! I have two shades that I'm gonna review and they are Femme and Strawberry Milk. FYI I had bittersweet feeling regarding the NYX Round Lipstick. Why?? Well they have a crazy shade of color. I mean they has 144 shades!!!! Those pretty color always attracts me but sometimes different shade of color has different shade of quality regarding the texture, longevity and pigmentation. I really wonder why??


About NYX Round Lipstick:
NYX Round Lipstick is smooth and moisture with every application! With 144 shades available, NYX round lipstick is is a velvet-textured lip cream that covers the lips with rich color that smoothes and moistures lips with each application. NYX Round Lipstick is NYX's best selling lipstick and one ifs topsellers.


Packaging:
It's in a black twist bullet tube with a matching black cap that snaps tightly. I like how the label is put on the top cap and on the side so I can recognize the name and it also has a clear small color indicator on the name so I'll know how the shades looks like. Forgot to take a picture of the NYX logo but I think you'll know what the logo looks like right?


Swatches:
Tried to swatch on tissue to know what the color looks like. Let's see how it looks on me....


Femme:
Femme is an uber bright coral shade but depending on the light sometimes it leans toward red but sometimes it's orange.  I really like how it instantly brighten up my face when I wear it.

My Thoughts on Femme:
Finish: Femme has a glossy finish and it doesn't contains any shimmer but over time it looks matte on my lips. It also doesn't accentuate fine lines which I really love!!
Pigmentation: Femme is quite pigmented and one swipe gives me a medium coverage.
Longevity: Femme last about 2-3 hours on my lips with eating and drinking.
Texture: The texture is quite creamy and it glides nicely on my lips without any tugging. But since it's quite creamy the lipstick tends to bleed so I have to be careful otherwise I'm gonna turn into Joker.
Quality: Femme is quite moisturizing on my lips even when I forgot to put on lip balm and I've mention in my previous review of NYX Round Lipstick in Paris and Vitamin that the Paris melts easily but the Vitamin did not. Luckily Femme has a quite nice formula and it doesn't melt or anything.


Strawberry Milk:
Strawberry Milk has a frosty pale pink color. Kinda like cotton candy and well... Strawberry Milk!! I personally think it's to pale for me and I'm not really confident wearing this shade on its own. It's a great shade for toning down bold lipstick color or for that gradient lips look though.

My Thoughts on Strawberry Milk:
Finish: Strawberry Milk has a slight shiny finish with no shimmer and as you can see on the picture above it actually accentuate the lines on my lips.
Pigmentation: Strawberry Milk has a sheer coverage and it doesn't cover my lips well and looks uneven too.
Longevity: Strawberry Milk doesn't last long on me. I think it was gone in less than an hour.
Texture: It has a creamy texture and glides very smoothly on my lips. The Strawberry Milk glides better than Femme and Paris. Oh since it creamy so rubbing the lips together when wearing this shade is a big NO NO... My lips turns ugly when I do that and I have a habit of doing that kinda thing.
Quality: Unfortunately Strawberry Milk melts very easy, it even worse than Paris!! I've already broke the lipstick now BTW. I hope putting it in the fridge will make it more sturdy.


Tried the gradient lips look with Femme and Strawberry Milk. I think it looks pretty nice...

What I Like:
- nice simple packaging.
- affordable.
- multitude of shade.
- quite moisturizing on lips.
- glides nicely on lips.

What I Don't Like:
- some color are more pigmented than other.
- some color melts easily.

Where to Buy?
I buy it at Cherry Culture via 27 Shop

How Much?
The retail price is USD 4 or approx. IDR 48.000 but sometimes there's a discount.
