THE VERDICT FOR APOLLO:

I've reviewed the texture and quality of NYX round lipsticks. The reviews are primarily for the colors.

Apollo is a frosted copper red lipstick. It's not for the faint hearted 'cos the color comes off quite strong, and may require a brave heart to wear it. Apollo has an orange undertone, and the slight gold shimmer gives this red lipstick a copper appeal. The bold shade just stands out. If you don't appreciate dark colors, then this may seem to you as a shade that your granny will wear.

This can also be an 80% dupe for Guerlain Rouge De Guerlain lipstick in 23 Geisha, which is a tangerine- red lipstick.


THE VERDICT FOR ICED HONEY:

Iced Honey is a frosted honey nude lipstick with silver shimmer. And it has all that I don't like in a lipstick. It's frosted, makes my teeth look garish, and the silver shimmer just makes my facial skin tone look darker than its original color, and the shade makes my lips standout, making me space ship Xanadu- worthy.

But for fair- skinned ladies, this might work as a glistening nude lipstick. Oh well, this ain't for me.

THE VERDICT FOR PUMPKIN PIE:

Mom's been raving about this lipstick ever since I gave it to her. After just a month, she's almost hit the bottom of the tube.

Pumpkin pie is a sheer peach- honey lipstick. It's a great nude, IMO. The luster that it has compliments morena skin tones so well. It doesn't wash you out, nor it stands out in a weird- kinda' way. And this may appear a bit peachy on fair- skinned ladies whilst still looking nude. One of the best colors NYX has produced!
