NYX Liquid Suede Cream Cherry Skies Lipstick.

As I mentioned in my last post, not only did I buy one NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick – I bought two, which couldn’t be anymore different from one another; Pink Lust and Cherry Skies.

Sticking with my favourite shade to wear – red, I decided to try and branch out from the obvious blue tone 1950s classics and went for one that was extremely dark. The lipstick instantly reminded me of a 1920s vampy shade that a femme fatale such as Louise Brooks or Theda Bara would have worn. It was so bold and daring and would definitely stand out, so I decided this was the one to try.

I also thought it would be wise to buy a lip pencil to apply under the liquid lipstick and therefore make it last longer, so I chose the closest shade I could find aptly titled, Dark Red. I only  realized once I’d got home that the lip pencil was a retractable one which, although a great idea, over the years I’ve had many that snapped fairly easily. However, my apprehension was entirely unnecessary as the lip pencil worked wonderfully and didn’t break! So I’d definitely recommend the NYX Mechanical Lip Pencils. It’s refreshing to be able to actually use  a pencil and not be fearful of pressing too much encase it snaps, plus, no sharpener is needed!

When applying the liquid lipstick I soon realized that with this shade and product, less is definitely more! I also learned that it was extremely important for me not to rush and take my time as the colour is so bold and obvious any messes would clearly stand out. As I started to apply the lipstick I actually felt a bit intimidated and anxious as to how it would actually look on me. Before the product dried it was almost black and although I love being bold with lipsticks, I definitely don’t think I’m ready to try something so stand out just yet. I can’t pull it off like Kylie Jenner that’s for sure!

However, as soon as the liquid had transformed into a matte lipstick I was very happy with the shade, it was different but still ultimately a classic vintage colour – just what I aim for! All I really needed was a blunt bob and I could have almost pretended I was a 1920s Flapper, well, maybe not but it’s always nice to have an imagination, right?

I did notice that this shade didn’t seem to last as long as Pink Lust, the lipstick I reviewed in my previous post. The only conclusion I can come up with is because it’s such a bold colour and contrasts so much with my actual lip colour, it must be more noticeable. Either way, this is only the first time I’ve worn this lipstick so I’m sure a bit of patience and practice will help to improve it.

NYX Liquid Suede Cream Pink Lust Lipstick.

Today I finally got to try my new NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the shocking fuchsia shade called Pink Lust, which I purchased from Boots for only £6.50! Just recently NYX Cosmetics have opened in stores across the UK and all I can say is, it was definitely worth the wait – there are simply so many items to choose from! It truly is a make up lovers dream.

Ever since my favourite Beauty Blogger, Em aka mypaleskinblog mentioned this brand in her videos I have been so excited to see what all the hype was about and try the products for myself. I’ve previously posted about NYX Cosmetics in another post and true to my word, I’ve bought more products to try! I absolutely love how the shade of the lipstick matches the packaging, it’s so pretty and very pleasing to the eye.

What I love about NYX is the amount of lipstick products they have available, there are so many styles and finishes to choose from! Therefore, I knew as soon as I saw the Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks I had to try them out, especially as I’m slightly obsessed with liquid lipsticks right now. I really love their Soft Matte Lip Cream and as this was an extra pound more, I was hoping this would be even better – and I was not disappointed!

As I’m such a lipstick lover, I’ve been trying to branch out and try different shades, as often I’ll buy a similar colour thinking it’s slightly different and it’s an almost exact match. I decided to go for something that would stand out, be vibrant and a bit edgy and as soon as I saw Pink Lust I knew I had to try it. Like I’ve said many times before, I absolutely love the colour but I only really wear nude or hot pink shades, rarely pale or neon pinks. However, I thought I might as well try a new shade and see if it may change my mind.

As the lipstick is in a liquid formula before it dries, I applied it without a lip brush and just used the wand stick instead. It was easy to use and quickly dried into a matte finish within seconds! The shade is so bold and pigmented and I only needed to put one coat on my lips. I didn’t even have a lip pencil similar to this shade, so I wore it alone and hours later it is still very much intact so I’d say this has lasted very well!

This colour is perfect for anyone who loves a bold shade and of course, the colour pink! Plus, it’s such a vibrant and warm shade to wear for the summer, it definitely brightens up your face. I actually have another Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick so I look forward to sharing that with you all! I can’t wait to try out the other variations of lipsticks NYX have to offer, there are so many shades and amazing creations!
