Neither lipstick nor lip gloss, this matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a stunning matte finish. Soft Matte Lip Cream is surprisingly durable, light-weight and delightfully creamy, unlike some matte formulas, also moisturizing, it’s no wonder this sweetly scented formula is a NYX fan favorite.

PigmentationNYX Soft Matte Lip Creams are totally buildable and provides opaque coverage in 2-3 swipes. You can also use a lip liner beneath to intensify the color or layering the product helps bring out the color more truly. It dries to a matte finish but isn’t very drying on the lips.

SmellThe Soft Matte Lip Creams smells delicious of vanillas and I couldn’t stop sniffing it :p
TransylvaniaTransylvania is a super rich dark plum shade that I’m obsessed about :p However the formulation is pretty terrible as compared to other soft matte lip creams. This one applies blotchy, uneven and settles into fine lines accentuating them. One can’t wear only one coat of this, you need to bloat it and apply about 2-3 coats to achieve lovely even finish. This one starts fading from the inner rims and you need to retouch it often.

Overall verdictThe NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania is a rich dark plum that truly complements winters. This has a terrible formulation which applies unevenly and need number of layering to bring out the true shade. I have also tried Addis Ababa (Read Review) from the same range but Transylvania is way too bad in terms of consistency and texture.
