Not worth it!
I bought a few of these to try out in the colours: Baby Doll, Exotic, Teddy, and Ruffletrim. Baby Doll was too light for my pale complexion. The other three are beautiful colours and I would use them, however, the formula is way too drying. I feel like I have a desert on my lips when I'm wearing them. The doe foot (applicator) isn't that great either. I wish they had an applicator that was more inwards to really outline the lips properly and evenly spread the product on my lips. I usually love NYX lipsticks but these did not impress me.
Ok so I'm really upset about these. They come in so many colours and are great dupes for Kylie lip kit nude liquid lipstick. The only issue I have with these, which is a HUGE issue for me, is that these have a really overpowered chemical taste and smell to them. That really bothers me.
I'm not a fan of this line. This liquid lipstick flakes on my lips throughout the day. I've never experienced this issue with other liquid lipsticks (maybe the cheaper ones but not to this extent). A remedy to this issue is to apply a very small amount of lip balm or vaseline to your lips before applying the liquid lipstick.
Aside from this issue, the product does the job!
I tend to lean toward nude/neutral matte lipstick shades, so when I learned about NYX's Lingerie lipstick line (which is all nude shades and also matte), I was ecstatic! The price is a little more than I'm normally willing to spend on a tube of lipstick, but I figured I could splurge a little for something I'd been looking for. I've tried NYX's lip products in the past and was very impressed with their Soft Matte Lip Cream, so I figured I could expect great quality from this product too.
Gotta say I was really disappointed in this particular lipstick. I purchased this product in the shade Baby Doll, which is the lightest shade in the line; I was looking for something that wasn't too dark or too pink and Baby Doll seemed to fit the bill. The lipstick itself is very creamy and buttery inside the tube and it glides onto the lips relatively nicely. The issues started once the product was on my lips.
The color itself isn't too terrible and is mostly true to the color you see in the tube. First of all, this product goes on rather streaky and will require a couple coats of lipstick for an even finish (that could just be an issue with the lighter colors, though). I expected this product to eventually dry on my lips too, but after a second coat of lipstick, it stays tacky and honestly feels like Scotch tape on my lips. In addition, this lipstick accentuates every single crease and wrinkle in my lips in the worst ways, making them look absolutely awful and dried out. Oh, and don't even think about pressing your lips together either, because this will smear your even coat and make it look worse.
You really have to work to get this stuff off your skin too. I had to scrub for some time with baby oil to get it off my lips. I like a lip product with staying power, but this was just a little ridiculous.
Overall, I'm not impressed at all with NYX Lip Lingerie. It's sticky, it smears and it makes my lips look and feel crappy. I really had high hopes for this product, but honestly, I've used better-quality lipsticks that were a fraction of the cost of this one. This isn't to say NYX has bad products in general because they certainly don't. This one was a real dud and I fully intend to return it because I'm never going to use it again. Le sigh, my quest for a good matte nude lipstick continues.
