I've tried NYX soft matte lip creams before, but this is the first time I roadtested the Xtreme Lip Creams. These are amazingly pigmented lip creams with bold, rich shades with a glossy finish. I really don't think they are lip glosses because the texture is just like liquid lipstick. The product is saturated in color and applies thickly, as I said, just like melted lipstick. It comes in a sponge tip applicator for precise application of the product on the lips. Here are some swatches:
Pinky Nude, Skintone, Butter Nude, Nude Peach Fuzz, Natural, Strawberry Jam, Bonfire, Dolly Girl, Spicy, Absolute Red
Pinky Nude, Skintone, Butter Nude, Nude Peach Fuzz, Natural, Strawberry Jam
Natural, Strawberry Jam, Bonfire, Dolly Girl, Spicy, Absolute Red
Pinky Nude
Pinky Nude
Pinky Nude pretty much describes itself- a medium pink neutral. This is one of my faves from the collection as it is pretty much an everyday color for me.
Skintone
Skintone
I like Skintone although this would probably suit darker skintones better. A nice brown-based lip cream that has also some yellow undertones to it.
Butter Nude
Butter Nude
Butter Nude is a nice neutral brownish peach that is perfect for everyday wear for me. I love the versatility of this shade.
Nude Peach Fuzz
Nude Peach Fuzz
Nude Peach Fuzz is a nice nude shade for lighter to medium skintones. This would probably work great with a smoky or dramatic eye.
Natural
Natural
Eeeek, corpse lips! It's way too light for my yellow-olive complexion.
Strawberry Jam
Strawberry Jam
Now that's more like it! One of my top faves from the collection. This beautiful strawberry red is the perfect everyday bold lip. I love how pretty and eye-catching it is, yet can also be office-appropriate. Love, love, love.
Bonfire
Bonfire
Bonfire is a pinkish coral red with some extra shimmer. I tend to gravitate towards Strawberry Jam more, but this is also a pretty pinky peach-red in the same family.
Dolly Girl
Dolly Girl
Might as well be my top fave. Dolly Girl is your quintessential hot pink lip cream. Femme fatale pink, if you ask me.
Spicy
Spicy
Spicy is a nice orange red. I like how vibrant and super pigmented it is. One of my favorites as well.
Absolute Red
Absolute Red
Absolute Red is a va-va-voom red lip cream, saturated and shiny. Lovely for that night out in the town or a romantic date. It just gives the lips a very sexy look. Love this!
My favorites would have to be Strawberry Jam, Butter Nude, Dolly Girl, Spicy. If you love both pigment and shine on your lips, these Xtreme Lip Creams from NYX are the products for you. They are very pigmented and you will really call attention to your puckers. The only downside I can see is that this product tends to make your lips dry as the day wears on, so be sure to moisturize your lips regularly.
This retails for $6 each and is available at www.nyxcosmetics.com.
