(Edited) In-depth Reviews of NYX Butter Gloss and Soft Matte Lip Cream
I did an Ulta haul a couple of months ago, picking up a few NYX products and here is my review. Warning: pic heavy.
First up are the Nyx Butter Glosses. I have e to say I’m not a gloss person. If I’m going to reach for a lip product, I go for lipsticks or lip stains. These glosses however, I’ve been reaching for more often, particularly the nude shades. If you’re a person of color looking for a nude gloss, I highly suggest Angel Food Cake, Praline, or Ginger Snap (which I will be swatching today).
Obviously since it is a non-sticky gloss the formula is not long-wearing at all and sometimes does travel outside my lip lines. I like to use a clear liner with most of the shades.
Red Velvet is described as a deep red. This is great over red lipstick.
Cherry Cheesecake is an orange. This is my least favorite out of the bunch as it settles into the fine lines of my lips and is almost a milky orange gloss as opposed to a jelly finish that I had expected.
Raspberry Tart is a medium-tone violet. I like to layer this over a purple lip liner as it does feather and it is semi-sheer on my lips.
Ginger Snap is described as a chocolate brown. I bought this thinking it would be a nude for me but it is a little too dark for that. I do like it as a subtle throwback to the 90s brown lip color trend.
Devil’s Food Cake is a plummy red. I absolutely adore this color and this is by far the most opaque out of all the shades of the BLG I own.
I get about 2-3 hours at most out of the BLG.
(From L-R: Butter Gloss - Red Velvet, Soft Matte Lip Cream - Morocco, Cherry Cheesecake, Soft Matte Lip Cream in Ibiza, BLG - Raspberry Tart,Ginger Snap, Devil’s Food Cake, SMLC - Copenhagen. The last one is the NYX Simply Vamp Lip Cream which I will write a separate post about. (No flash).
Butter glosses from top to bottom: Red Velvet, Cherry Cheesecake, Raspberry Tart, Ginger Snap, Devil’s Food Cake. With flash.
The butter glosses have a doe foot applicator and I find that with most shades one application is enough to cover my lips.

These are the NYX Matte Lip Creams. From top to bottom: Morocco, Ibiza, Copenhagen. The dark purple swatch is a Nyx Vamp Lip Cream which I will do a review of in a different post. (With flash).

The matte lip cream applicators are slightly thicker than the butter glosses and again for most shades one application is enough.
I love Nyx Matte Lip Creams. I think they are some of the best affordable matte lip products I tried, with a beautiful shade range. Everyone will find at least one lip color that will suit them.
Morocco is a bright orangey-red.
Ibiza is a deep rosy pink.
Copenhagen is deep purpley-red.
For me these lip creams last about 5 hours, less with eating. However, it also differs by each shade. I find that Morocco tends to flake off on me even without eating. Ibiza lasts a little bit more but fades away leaving that weird ring around my mouth. Copenhagen lasts the longest and when it does fade, it leaves a nice stain unlike the other colors.
