NYX butter glosses + lip swatches!


Hey there!

I have been neglecting my blog in the last few months but I decided to get my act together :)
Hopefully this post will make up for it all!

I recently been in love with the NYX butter glosses. Seriously the best lip glosses I've ever tried, the only thing I like as much would be the Buxom ones and they are completely different.

I also did a lip swatch video:





This lip glosses are so creamy, pigmented (they show up true to color on my pigmented lips!) and they smell divine! They all have dessert related names which works perfectly with their cake batter scent! They last a few hours and don't end up in the corner of my mouth (a personal pet peeve!). For the price, if you haven't already, I suggest you run out right now to pick up at least one shade!

They are perfect whether you wear them on their own or layered over your favorite lipsticks (Read: Peach cobbler over Lady Danger by Mac or Sugar Cookie over Maybelline Vivid in Hot plum!)

Enough rambling let get to the lip swatches!


Crème Brulée
Crème Brulée

Perfect everyday nude shade! This is the one I know I'll ran out of first. It's a cult favorite for a reason!

Tiramisu
Tiramisu

Another beautiful nude shade. More brown than Crème brulée it's perfect if you have a tan!


Éclair
Éclair

Cool tone pink shade. It gives a nice light color to your lips even if they're pigmented like mines!

Meringue
Meringue
This one impressed me so much! My lips are naturally a reddish pink shade and this shows up true to color... so pigmented!

Maple Blondie
Maple Blondie

Beautiful sheer coral shade. It's darker than apple strudel but not as reddy-pink as peaches and cream. It might be difficult to see the difference between this one and the next two so at the end I'll include a picture with all of them... you're welcome! :)

Apple Strudel
Apple Strudel

Another amazing coral shade! Again see at the end to see them side by side!

Peaches and Cream
Peaches and Cream
This shade is still a coral but with more red and pink than the last two!

Peach Cobbler
Peach Cobbler

This is a orangy red shade. Like I said at the beginning this is perfect over Lady Danger by Mac but as you can see in the picture it can easily be worn on its own!

Strawberry Parfait
Strawberry Parfait

This is the sheerest of the older shades! It's a gorgeous fuchsia pink but you will probably need to layer it. If your lips aren't as dark as mine then it might show up better!

Cherry Cheese Cake
Cherry Cheese Cake

 If Morange by Mac was a lip gloss this would be it! If you're scared to try orange lips and love lip gloss you need this in your life! This shade is surprisingly easy to pull off!

Cherry Pie
Cherry Pie

Perfect glossy red to wear all year around. It's lighter tun red velvet!


Now on to the new shades!

Fortune Cookie
Fortune Cookie

This is the definition of pale nude lips! I love the fact that it doesn't look milky on my lips (hate that!) With no self tanner I can pull it off but during summer it might be too light. If you have fair skin this will be the perfect shade!


Madeleine
Madeleine

Madeleine is a brown nude color that will be perfect for tan skin!

Praline
Praline

Not gonna lie this one scared me! I was afraid it would look ridiculous on me but the hint of red in this brow lip gloss makes it wearable. If you have darker skin than me... it will look way better on you :)

Angel Food Cake
Angel Food Cake

Well hello gorgeous shade! I was excited for this shade. It's a deeper and more brown than Crème Brulée but it looks AMAZING! What ever skin color you have... you need this!

Vanilla Cream Pie
Vanilla Cream Pie

If you love pinks but you thought Éclair and Meringue were too cold tone for you this shade is for you!  There's a bit of warmth to it but not too much so it will suit most people!

Cupcake
Cupcake

Cupcake is BRIGHT! Almost look like a lip gloss version of Mac Viva Glam Nicki but it's more wearable. If you want to start wearing brighter lips this is for you!

Sugar Cookie
Sugar Cookie

Sugar Cookie is one of my favorites! Bright fuchsia, it is more pigmented and more purple than Strawberry Parfait. You might find with the next few shades that you need to apply it more than once to get it even but it's worth it!

Raspberry Tart
Raspberry Tart

Raspberry Tart might be scary in the tube but it's a beautiful and wearable purple!

Red Velvet
Red Velvet

A little darker than Cherry Pie!

Devil's food cake
Devil's Food Cake


Another favorite! This is a deep red shade. It almost look black it the tube but you need to try it on your lips to give it justice!
