Let's look at NYX ROUND LIPSTICK IN TEA ROSE.
THE VERDICT:
This costed me 100php. Sis Khymm bought this for me because she knows a NYX seller from Cebu and it's where she gets her nyx products from. I just thought of giving it a try because I've read good reviews about the color of the lipstick. I don't mind stacking up 15 lipstick tubes because I'm such a lipstick eater and it's currently my most favorite make- up product. :D
Okay, so Tea Rose is a lovely color. It looks like a coral shade in the tube but it pays off as a pink- nude lipstick with a coral undertone. It smells like grandma's perfume though, but at least it's not overpowering or annoying.
True enough, I'm quite impressed with the color. It's quite pigmented also. It feels VERY lightweight, as compared to the rich and thick lipsticks of MAC and Bobbi Brown.
Nyx is such a best bet for those who are on a budget but unfortunately, it's unavailable locally so we have to scour online sellers and find out if they're selling nyx. So if you're on a budget I suggest you try the brand. I just hope they open a branch in the Philippines.
In terms of quality, I would just give this a 3 out of 5. Truth be told, it doesn't last long. I wore this last night and hubby kissed me thrice on the lips and the lipstick was totally wiped out. I hate how I'd have to reapply it over and over again. I think the reason behind the unimpressive staying power is because the consistency feels too sheer and light, so it doesn't really last on your lips.
I hate raining on the nyx lovers' parade but I wouldn't consider repurchasing another. I might try Chloe. Bottomline, I wouldn't pay for exorbitant shipping rates for some nyx products, especially their lipsticks. I just hope they improve their formula. But this product ain't too bad after all, there couldn't be any worse than Ever Bilena lipsticks.

very pretty. i own a lot of nyx round lipsticks and i got them really cheap, cheaper than the ones online. they dont last longer so make sure your hubby doesnt kiss you lol.
ReplyDeletejust kidding...but what i do, i layer the lipstick. I have some tips and tricks on my blog ;)
tea rose looks good on you sis. im gonna be getting tea rose too. lucky you for getting it for a cheap price.
ReplyDeletebecky: no thanks, i'd rather have my hubby kiss me! haha. but tea rose is a lovely color, i must admit. :)
ReplyDeletenikki: yup. it's cheaper in cebu so i got mine there. :) i wanna try narcissus and chloe next. :)
i totally agree on this one,nyx' does have pretyy shades but lasting power is not really that impressive to start with.its too creamy kaya it smears kagad
ReplyDeletefor less than P50, you really get what you pay for. :) I got several of nyx round lippies that are really helpful in my past gigs. :) it does have a lightwieght feel and may not last as long but at least its pigmented. :) i agree with becky to layer the lipstick. :) apply, smack, reapply, smack, reapply. :) the reason i love nyx is that their rounds doesn't make my lips wash out. kinda like maybelline moisture lippies but cheaper. :)
ReplyDeleteshobe: agree. i hate how it smears easily. kahit dumampi lang kamay ko sa lips ko sumasama na talaga yung color.
ReplyDeleteshen: i'll try the smack reapply thingy but I think it's not a guarantee that the l/s will stay longer. i think the problem lies in the formulation of the product. take note, i have applied a lip balm prior to the l/s but it's still not helping the lipstick to last for at least an hour on my lips. but i have to agree with the pigmentation. it's very pigmented and the colors are gorgeous, at least.
i'll be purchasing the round l/s in chloe because it's a nice hot pink shade. i'll just have to dust off a bit of powder on top of the l/s. that way, it may last a bit longer (i hope). :D
Let me know what you think of this post! :)
