NYX lipstick Review/Swatches

Hi guys! I got my order from Cherry Culture (I bought everything myself) and here is a review of the 4 lipsticks I purchased!
Black Label Lipstick (The SQUARE one): Bling
Round Lipsticks: Pumpkin Pie, Indian Pink, and Doll (in that order)


 Round Lipsticks~~
 Pros:
  • Inexpensive (yaay)
  • Moisturizing
  • Nicely Pigmented
  • Lots of colors to choose from
Cons:
  • Smell and taste kind of artificial (beware! sensitive lips)
  • Do not last forever on the lips (since they're so moisturizing)

The ROUND lipsticks:


Pumpkin Pie: a nice brown, neutral lippy. It doesn't entirely mask my extremely pigmented lips, but still looks nice on. It's a warm lipstick that doesn't wash me out or make me look zombie-ish. :D


Doll: I really like this one! It's nice for the fall, since it's more of a berry color. It does look very doll-like when on my lips. This one should match most skin tones, although very fair ladies might find it a bit overwhelming. This one was the most pigmented. (love it!)

Indian Pink: Many people like this color, and I can see why. It's a corally-orange, with gold flecks. (they aren't gritty or anything, more like little shimmers). This one would look best with warm/neutral skin, but I'm sure cool toned ladies could pull it of too, since it is pinkish.
This was the only lipstick I bought that was shimmery.


I only got one Black-Label lipstick, and that was: Bling.
These smell a bit different than the Round lipsticks. They smell like artificial grapes, almost like a grape Jolly Rancher. These are higher quality than the Round lipsticks and last longer.


Bling is a nudey-pink, but it is a bit brighter on the lips than it looks.
Here are swatches on my arm of all four in natural light.


Bling, Pumpkin Pie, Indian Pink, Doll

I would only repurchase the Black Label lipsticks though. I don't like the scent of the Round ones very much, although for Doll, I am willing to put up with it. 



I hope that was useful, and if you have questions, feel free to ask!
