I picked up this lovely set at Ulta in the clearance section. It normally retails for $19.99 but I picked it up for $9.99. I believe this set comes in "The Naturals" and in a set called "The Pinks". I would love to try "The Pinks" and I hope that one day they do this set but in Red, because you guys know I Love a good Red Lip! I had seen this set online a few times and always wanted to try it, I think its a great way to try out 5 of NYX's amazing lip products! Three of these glosses I have tried before but in different colors but two of them are new to me and one I enjoyed and the other was kind of a miss for me. So let's jump right in and check out the goods!
- NYX Butter Gloss in #05 Creme Brulee - I have 7 Butter Glosses now so obviously I Love the formula of these! Plus they are only around $5 and comes in 22 shades right now. They are so creamy and smooth without feeling heavy or sticky, you can use these on their own or on top of a lipstick to give it the buttery shine and a different color hue. Ive heard Creme Brulee talked and blogged about in the beauty world, it is obviously a top seller which is understandable because the color is so universal, the color is a great nude without being too opaque and looking like concealer. It's not as brown as Tiramisu but not pink like Vanilla Cream Pie. I definitely recommend the Butter Glosses, I've even sent them to friends for Christmas!
- NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in #155 Perfect - This is another product that I have multiples of and really enjoy! This gloss comes in around 39 different colors(some with sparkle and some without) and I'm sure they are pumping more out soon! Everyone who's tried this gloss loves it and because it comes in so many colors there is always something for everybody. These cost around $5 if you buy them individually and its .33oz so it's a pretty good price point. I know I will be picking up more! This is another product that I love to wear on its own or on top of a lipstick to give it a beautiful shine and sometimes alter the color a bit. This color is a basic sheer natural pink with a bunch of tiny pinkish sparkle, I think it's going to be great on top of any lipstick but on its own it doesn't do much for me but its great if you love that natural look!
- NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumper in #06 Kim - This is one of the products that I am trying for the first time. You can get this product in 9 different colors online and they are about $5.50. I have to say the product was kind of a miss for me. I didn't notice my lips looking any plumper even though they had that menthol tingle about them. The color is your basic nude and I'm sure it can be built up to be opaque, it has a pretty shine to it and no scent which is strange because the Megashine glosses smell like cherry candy. I figured it would at least have a minty scent to it because menthol is what usually gives you that plumping effect. I'm sure this color will look great on top of a lipstick and it looks good on its own but if you say you're going to plump my lips I would like you to deliver on that, sadly I don't think I will be picking up this product in any other colors but I'm glad I tried it!
- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in #05 Antwerp - This is the one that in the packaging I was like there is no way I'm going to like this! But I have to say I think this might be my favorite out of all 5 of the products surprisingly. This comes in 11 different shades and is around $6. I have this product in 2 other colors a hot pink and a soft pink but this color for some reason just captivates me! I feel like its soft enough that you can wear it in the spring and summer but the color is bold enough that it can stand on its own in the colder months. This product doesn't go flat matte like some other matte lip products I've tried in the past but I don't mind that, it goes matte enough that it can keep its claim but its never drying or tight. The color is this strong dusty pink that for some reason I can't keep my eyes off of!
- NYX Xtreme Shine Lip Cream in #10 Natural - This is the other product that I've never tried before and I've actually been wanting to test it out! So first I'm going to tell you what the tube of the product has on it; "It's not a lipstick, nor is it gloss. It's like nothing you've experienced before. Its liquid lipstick that goes on with full Xtreme color and intense shine." I have to say that claim is true! This color probably isn't the best pick for me because if I'm not careful the color goes on so opaque that I instantly have concealer lips and with my skin tone that's not a good look! However I do love this product and the formula is amazing! Its like if butter glosses had a bigger stronger cousin! I am definitely going to be buying more of these in more suitable colors for my skin tone! Online they have the Xtreme Lip Creams in 11 colors for $6 but this one is a Xtreme Shine Lip Cream so I'm not sure if its different packaging or a completely different product.
Overall I have to say that I really enjoy this little "It List" pack, its a great way to try out a variety of products from NYX without having to get them individually. The fact that I got this set at half price made it ever better! Like I said earlier I would like to try the Pink It List and I hope they make a red one soon!
