NYX Matte Lipsticks~Audrey and Angel~

I won't lie, I have never been a huge fan of matte lipsticks. I have always found them to be too drying and unflattering. However, I do like Lancome and NARS matte lipsticks but they can be expensive.  I wanted to utilize a $3.50 off coupon from Ulta, so I did a little bit of browsing. I saw the display of these lipsticks and was intrigued by them. They had cute, simple packaging and gorgeous shades. After sitting and looking through all of them, I finally decided on Audrey(pale pink) and Angel(coral). These lipsticks are creamy and smooth; much more so than any other matte shade I have tried. They are not the least bit drying, so even my eczema prone lips feel comfortable wearing this product. However, I do feel that as a result, these do not last quite as long as other matte lipsticks. But, they still stay on very well.  For example, I just drank a bottle of water, and you can see a little bit of fading(not a problem I had with other mattes.) But I have not found it to be a big issue. I got these for $5.99 at Ulta. You may have issues finding them; the display was pretty much picked over. Which worked out fine for me becaue I love these shades.
