Ah, it seems like only yesterday that Nyx products were finally made available in Boots stores throughout the UK, and thank the Lord they were! Since then their makeup really seems to have taken the beauty world by storm, with numerous products even selling out they were that in demand. From their Contour Palettes to their 'Liquid Lingerie' Lipsticks it seems like theres nothing out there Nyx can't create as a winning product. Plus, when you factor in their relatively cheap cost compared to similar but more expensive brands, what is there not to love?
A few months ago I attended a beauty bloggers event down in London, and Nyx happened to be one of the brands scheduled in. Funnily enough, Nyx were actually one of the brands at one of the first ever events I attended in London, way before their range had even come out in Boots stores. Ever since this event I've loved the brand (even splurging on their advent calendar this Christmas just gone), and this time around when I saw some of their upcoming product releases, I even did a little inwards squeal to myself in excitement. Those new products? The new 'Liquid Suede' Cream Lipsticks.
Released in the prime of the 'Liquid Lipstick' trend, the Nyx Liquid Suede Lipsticks come in a variety of different shades, ranging from your everyday gorgeous nudes to outrageous and bright baby blues. Yep, you heard right - theres a bright and bold sky blue shade bound to brighten up anyones day, so there's definitely shades out there to suit everyone. In the end, I went for the shades 'Soft Spoken' and 'Cherry Skies' thanks to my love of nude and deep red lips, aswell as the deep purple shade 'Oh, Put It On'*.
Soft Spoken is a beautiful, warm toned nude which gives lips the most beautiful tint of colour. I absolutely love wearing nude lipsticks on a daily basis to work, with my current favourite being the beautiful 'Twig' from MAC. However I think Twig may have been ousted from my number one position thanks to this mauve-pink shade. Cherry Skies is also exactly as promised - a gorgeous, deep cherry red colour. The perfect shade to encapsulate the Autumn/Winter seasons, Cherry Skies is so deep and vibrant, and it actually reminds me of Taylor Swift for some reason - I think its pretty much identical to her statement lip colour, and probably for a fraction of the cost. Oh, Put It On is a gorgeous deep aubergine kind of colour, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart! It's definitely a kind of vampy colour and looks incredibly dark, and I love rocking it when I'm feeling like going for the grunge kind of look.
The consistency and pigmentation of these lipsticks is insane, and the swatches above are only from one swipe with the doe foot applicator. The product glides on the lips easily, and whilst it goes on like a liquid it dries to a semi-matte finish with a small shine - its more of a velvety kind of lipstick than anything else, and I totally get where the 'suede' comes from. My only slight issue with the Liquid Suede collection has to be its transferability - on occasion the darker colours have transferred slightly, but other than that it's staying power is amazing. Seriously, the majority of it hardly budges if you try to remove it, and throughout the day I only had to reapply a couple of times.
Altogether I'm thoroughly impressed with the Liquid Suede lipsticks - it just goes to prove that you can have amazing quality products at affordable prices! Once again Nyx have brought out products which will be loved for years to come, and I personally can't wait to add a few more shades to my collection. Do you own any of the Liquid Suede lipsticks? Which ones your favourite? What are your thoughts on the collection? Let me know in the comments below!
