Coming from someone who loves a good liquid lipstick, I can say that it is not simple finding a decent one for a reasonable price. I have tried many drugstore and high-end liquid lipsticks, but I have always come to the conclusion that my high-end products last longer and have a better color pay-off than their drugstore counterparts. Today, however, I have a pretty good recommendation for all of you makeup lovers who want a nice, pretty lipstick without the overwhelming price tag.
NYX is a very popular drugstore brand with many amazing products that are all at reasonable price points for the average consumer. I have bought many things from this brand over the past couple of years and I have never been disappointed in anything I have received. I especially love NYX's lip products, so I had very high hopes for their new Lip Lingerie's lipsticks. These NYX liquid lipsticks launched in the Spring of 2016 and retail for $6.99 each. There are 24 shades listed on the
NYX Cosmetics webpage. I, however, only bought 2 out of the 24 shades, one is a nude pink and the other is a warm mahogany red. I have been eyeing both of these shades because they seemed like nothing else I own and are really gorgeous liquid lipstick shades.

The first of the two is called 'Babydoll', the nude pink shade. I think this shade is very beautiful and is a great option for the price. The formula on this lighter shade is definitely not as opaque as the red. The formula for this shade definitely needs two layers because of the streakiness when it is applied to the lips. I really do love how creamy and soft the formula feels despite the streakiness. Overall this shade is a very pale nude pink shade and can be very gorgeous if applied with at least two coats of product on each lip.

The second shade is called 'Exotic' and is the warm mahogany red as described before. Out of the two colors I purchased from this line, this has to be my favorite. The formula is so creamy, soft, and opaque. The color glides on and makes for a gorgeous shade of red for everyday wear. I would say this color has a better formula than the other and lasts a bit longer too. Both have little to no color transfer when dry and take less than five minutes to dry down once applied. This formula also does not look or feel dry and flaky after it is applied. These liquid lipsticks last for a decent amount of time and stay on pretty well after eating too. 'Exotic', however, is still the winner of the two based on color and formula.

Overall, the NYX Lip Lingerie liquid lipsticks are very nice for the price. I do not think they are the best of the best for all liquid lipsticks, but as far as drugstore liquid lipsticks go they are one of the best I have tried. I definitely recommend these to anyone who wants a great lipstick without spending too much money! Leave a comment below on whether you have tried these or not and if you would like to. Thanks for reading, BYE!!!
