NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream (Product Claims)

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.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Addis Ababa Review


PackagingNYX Soft Matte Lip Cream comes in a color coded lip gloss tube with a matte black cap. The bottle is opaque but color identification is very easy in case you own more than one. The shade name is mentioned at the bottom. It comes with a doe foot applicator which helps in applying the lip cream evenly on lips.

TextureNYX Soft Matte Lip Creams has smooth, buttery, air whipped texture that applies evenly on lips and settles to a matte finish within seconds of application. The lip cream neither dry out my chapped lips nor it settles into the fine lines. However, if you have extremely dry lips, do remember to exfoliate beforehand. These feel extremely lightweight and comfortable on the lips. Once it has set into a matte finish, the lip color does not budge or fade for hours!

PigmentationNYX Soft Matte Lip Creams are decently pigmented and provides opaque coverage in a 1/2 swipe. You can also use a lip liner beneath to intensify the color. However, neutral shades have medium pigmentation and needs a couple of swipes for an opaque coverage.

Staying EfficacyThese NYX Lip Creams stay decently for 6 hours and surpasses light meals and drinks; further leaving behind pink stain on the lips. The lip creams transfers very little when your drink anything.
SmellThe Soft Matte Lip Creams smells delicious of vanilla and I couldn’t stop sniffing it :p
