Review: NYX Lingerie Liquid Lipstick
As usual, I am late on a really cool beauty trend. How surprising does that sound to you? I have read countless reviews about the NYX Lingerie Matte Liquid Lipsticks, and I had not planned to try them out, until a recent YOLO visit to Boots. I picked up the shade n.4 Ruffle Trim, which is a gorgeous orange-toned nude. I was really tempted to get Teddy, the gorgeous brown shade, but I'm still not sure I could pull this one out. But to be honest, give me a couple months more and I'll be blogging about this shade too!
[UPDATE: funnily enough, I wrote this post a few weeks before my awesome friend Julie got me the said shade n.10 Teddy for my birthday. :P So it has indeed made into the review!]

The Lingerie lipsticks are good value for money, and if you're thinking about testing out liquid lipsticks without splurging on the more expensive ones, NYX is the brand to turn to. The formula is really smooth and comfortable on the lips, it doesn't dry them out at all. The lipstick dries matte as soon as you apply it, and it stays on for hours. It might come off a little as you eat, but nothing major - a little touch-up and you're good to go! I've found that when you do touch-ups with this lipstick. If you're careful and just dot along the areas that need reapplying, it won't look cakey at all, which sometimes happens when you reapply other liquid lipsticks during the day.
Ruffle Trim is a gorgeous colour for autumn, in these photos I am wearing it with a gold and burgundy eye makeup (which you can't really see) and it just enhances a heavier eye look while looking really natural. At £6.50 and with a good array of neutral/brownish shades, this is a good autumn staple you can treat yourselves to!
