NYX Round Case Lipsticks, Review, Photos, and Swatches

Lipsticks that Even I can Afford to Collect.
 
The NYX round case lipsticks ($4.99 for 0.14oz [$69.86/oz] HERE) NYX has 50! different shades of this product that range from super frosty finish to creamy. Overall, they're pretty good. They have some good slip, so it's not a hassle to apply right out of the tube, though for darker shades I almost always use a brush. The darker shades do leave a stain. That could be bad or good depending on if you like long wearing products. So overall, I love them a ton... except for the fake plastic fruit scent. But the scent doesn't linger and it's not super strong. I just don't like the scent of reasonably priced lipsticks in general for some reason. But otherwise, most of these shades were opaque on me with just one layer. So, pretty fantastic for the price! And I apologize for any typos or grammar errors, as it is 12:15 am as I'm writing this... life of a student, right?

> Indian Pink - Mostly opaque yellow based pink with gold frost shimmer.


> Tea Rose - Opaque lightish, slightly yellow based pink, but would work well on cool or warm skin tones. It has a creamy gloss finish.

> Fig - A more vibrant, teeny but cooler version of Tea Rose.

> Louisiana - Bright pink, but definitely not fuchsia with barely perceptible micro shimmer with a creamy gloss finish.

> Electra -  RED red. This is smoldering temptress red. I think it looks like a very neutral red, but some may see it as a slightly cooler tone. However, it will work on both cool and warm skin tones. It has a slightly glossy finish.

> Snow White - Dark red. Not a blackened red, but definitely darker than a fire truck red like Electra, with a slightly glossy finish.
