Anywho, these NYX lippies which i purchased are just dupes (according to my research after 2 hours looking at what colours i should buy and also which ones would suit my face) I didn't want to buy lippies which i then could not wear due to the fact that it maybe too pigmented or something i wouldn't wear out. I'm extremely happy with my selection and i was so careful (hence why it took me 2 hours - i didn't look at just 4 lippies, but overall a huge array of colours)
The following dupes are according to my research and also the colour simularity to MAC's Lipsticks. I do not own any MAC Lipsticks at the moment (I had a Cindi Lauper Viva La Glam one, which i gave to my mum and she left it in the car and it melted..... so goodbye to that one - it was such a waste!)
L2R: Iced Honey, Sky Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Tea Rose
and swatches...
Left to Right Swatches:
Stockholm (Soft Matte Lip Cream), Pumpkin Pie, Iced Honey, Sky Pink, Tea Rose
(My Tea Rose, as i mentioned i got it around 2 weeks earlier hence why my swatch different compared to the others.)
DISCLAIMER: I suggest you google the images between the two. I wanted to try out the colours before i actually head out and get myself an actual MAC Lippie and i really don't like the idea of trying our the lippies on my hand at the MAC counter because....
- Germs, Bacteria (bet you never thought of that!) and annoying sales assistants.
- I hate trying on cosmetics in store because it tends to get messy and yucky.
NYX Pumpkin Pie is a close dupe to MAC's Freckletone/Dressmaker, Dressmaker - I really like the whole nudey orangey colour and when applied on my lips it's pretty neutral (i'm unsure what my tone is - i think i have a warm tone LOL) But i wouldn't say it's an exact dupe.
NYX Iced Honey is a very close dupe to MAC's High Tea - my boyfriend's mum bought MAC's High Tea and said it was a bit too nudey for her, on my lips with Iced Honey it was a nice and a hint of shine. It's personally my favourite.
NYX Sky Pink is a very close dupe of MAC's Angel - My boyfriend's mum also has MAC's Angel and at first i was very skeptic about the colour, as i thought it might be a Barbie pink colour (i dislike the whole pastal pink colour on my lips) but it was actually a subtle pink and it sorta looked a bit dolly on me but i guess it was mediocre.
As for my NYX Tea Rose i didn't bother looking for a dupe - but since for the sake of this post. I found that MAC's Fanfare is a great dupe.
NYX Lip Cream in Stockholm: Overall, this goes on really easy and smoothly. I love the pigmentation and also how it feels on my lips - I love how Matte it is as well! This wins me over my MAC Dazzleglass and since it is a lip cream it seriously does wonders! It's glides on smooth and also i just love the texture and the vanilla smell! I like to top NYX Pumpkin Pie with Stockholm and it just looks wonderful on my lips. Definitely a 5/5 for me!
Overall, NYX lippies are really good for everyday wear (in my opinion) of course they will only last 2-3 hours and they're great if you're experimenting with lipstick (like me) - Personally, i'm not a lipstick person but after receiving all these colours which i purchased from eBay, it's something that i can wear for going out and probably Uni as well.
Pros: Inexpensive, Can see the colour of the lippie on the bottle (great when you're trying to find a colour), Great Range of Colour, Addictive Vanilla Smells (reminds me of my shampoo LOL), Moisturising and glides onto the lips perfectly.
Cons: Doesn't last as long - but lipstick in general won't last long anyways. Nothing else really.
I love these lippies, I love how they're pretty good quality and also they're pretty cheap too. I've used NYX's Eyeliner pencil and it works wonderfully. I love NYX cosmetics overall and i wish they were widely more avaliable in Australia - unfortunately i have to buy them online :(
I would give these lippies 4/5! and you can also find heaps of great dupes with the large range NYX has :)
Hope this was helpful!
Love, J
