First of all I’m going to start by saying
that this was the first NYX product I’ve ever used, and I can confirm that I am well
and truly sold! It was love at first swatch. So, NYX products are not readily
available in stores in London, and I actually had to purchase this product from
eBay and it cost me no more than £4!
This lipstick is very creamy and I
find it gradually wears to a matte finish. It’s not at all drying and neither
does it collect or exaggerate chapped lips. However, I would suggest a lip balm
application before use, as with all nudey-pink shades, dry lips are more
noticeable. The pigmentation is absolutely beautiful, it actually reminds me of
the colour payoff of MAC Amplified lipsticks. Also, I love the name ‘Strawberry
Milk’; it’s just such an accurate one for this baby pastel pink shade. Reading
up on reviews, I’ve found most people complaining about the colour washing them
out, however I find it looks super cute with a pink tone blush (it looked
beautiful paired with MAC’s blush in ‘Pink Cult’) and winged eyeliner. I also
find this colour to work well on top of a slightly darker pink shade (I used
YSL Rouge Volupte shade 7), but only placed in the center of the lips to
produce fuller lip shape.
Overall, I’m so impressed with this little
gem and the price tag that comes with it is just a bonus! I cannot wait to try
more colours. Any recommendations?
