Packaging
The NYX Soft Matte Lip creams are packaged in a color coded lipgloss tube with a matte black cap. The bottle is opaque but color identification is a breeze incase you own more than one of these and chances are you do since they are amazing! It comes with a doe foot applicator which helps in applying the lip cream evenly. The shade names are mentioned on the bottom and personally I love the travel friendly packaging and apparently so does my dog, Willy as you can tell from the bite marks on one of the tubes :p
Texture
The best thing about the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream is their smooth consistency. They have a light air whipped formula which applies easily and settles into a soft matte finish. It does not dry out my chapped lips and the formula is just amazing. I do need to exfoliate a bit if I have extremely dry and chapped lips in winters but thats very rare. They sort of remind me of the L’Oreal Moist Matte Lipsticks however these feel much more lighter on the lips. The NYX lip creams have the most comfortable mattel formula I’ve ever tried.

Shades
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Zurich Review & Swatches
Starting off with the lightest shade, NYX Zurich is a beautiful rosy nude with a coral undertone. Its my favorite everyday lipstick and looks extremely natural and flattering. Its perfect for pale to fair skintones.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Cannes Review & Swatches
Definitely one of the best nude lip colors for warm skintone, NYX Cannes is a mid toned rosy brown. This is that one color that everytime I wear, people always stop and ask me about. Its perfect for daily wear, office wear or to rock with a smokey eye. This will compliment fair to medium skintone quite well.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Antwerp Review & Swatches
A slightly bright but still quite neutral is the NYX Antwerp. Its a pinky coral which I used to wear often during my college days. It goes on lighter on the lips and can be built up. If you love pinky corals, then this is a good everyday shade.

Pigmentation
Most of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams are well pigmented with the darker shades provide an opaque coverage in a single swipe. As for these neutral colors, they need a couple of swipes for medium pigmentation. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Cannes covers lip pigmentation adequately but you might need a lip liner below NYX Antwerp or Zurich.
Staying Power
These NYX Lip creams stay put for around 4-5 hours depending on the amount you eat or drink. The darker shades like Amsterdam or Transylvania last much longer on me however with these particular shades being quite light, they fade in a few hours. Oh and did I mention that the lip creams smell like warm vanilla which is bound to make you hungry in a jiffy?
For the price, these are the best lip products I’ve ever used. NYX keeps launching new shades every couple of years which keep me hooked. Right now, I’m eying the Kylie colors like Rome, Berlin & Dubai. The NYX Lip Creams are priced higher in Sephora hence I prefer buying them from Beautyjoint as their shipping prices are quite nominal compared to other websites. If you have a cousin or relative visiting from the USA, then this is one range you must ask them to get for you!

HBM Rating
HBM Recommendation: The NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams are hands down the best lip product that I’ve ever tried be it in terms of the texture, pigmentation, shade range and price. These particular colors are some of my most highly used neutrals and I love them to bits. If you haven’t already tried this range then trust me, you must!
