NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Review

I have to say that I am a lippie addict! I have so many and love trying new formulas and unique shades. I have recently been playing around with liquid lipsticks. I got two Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks from NYX to play around with. I really wanted to love this product! I am a huge advocate for affordable drugstore cosmetics and if you have talked makeup with me before, you know I love NYX and that they are one of my favorite brands.

* Retail: $7.00

* 12 shades available

   - Life's a Beach (bright coral)

   - Tea & Cookies (muted rose pink)

   - *Pink Lust (hot pink)

   - Kitten Heels (bright red)

   - *Cherry Skies (deep wine red)

   - Vintage (plum with mauve undertone)

   - Soft-Spoken (mauve toned nude)

I have the shades Pink Lust and Cherry Skies

(pictured below)

Pink Lust is truly a hot pink and it really draws focus. Cherry Skies does fit the descriptor on the NYX website (a deep wine red) but is misleading if you are basing your selection on the shade name (Cherry Skies) as it is NOT a cherry red.

How I wear NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick

I exfoliate my lips before applying any type of lipstick to create a smooth, even surface for the product to stick to. I usually use a sugar scrub or, if I'm in a hurry, I exfoliate by rubbing my toothbrush over my lips while I'm brushing my teeth in the morning.

Then I "paint" the liquid lipstick onto my lower lip, press my lips together gently and then fill in the rest of my top lip.

Allow the lipstick to "set"/dry before eating or drinking.

PROS

*Gorgeous, fun and trendy shade selection
Though there are only 12 shades, they are really fun and there is a nice variety for different comfort levels.
