NYX Butter Gloss Review and Swatches

 

NYX Butter Glosses may just be the best glosses ever! I recently discovered these glosses when I stumbled into Ulta the other day and I am in LOVE! I purchased 8 of the 22 shades and I definitely will be picking more of these up. Below I have my list of pros and cons as well as color descriptions and swatches:

PROS:

1)    They are super creamy, literally feel like “butter” on the lips and are not sticky at all.

2)    They are sheer but buildable (some colors are more sheer than others but you can intensify them if you choose.)

3)    They smell like sugar cookies!

4)    They don’t dry out your lips at all. Personally, I have super dry lips and most lip glosses tend to dry my lips out, but these don’t! In fact, I put one on before I went to bed and when I woke up I felt like it acted like a lip treatment and moisturized them. Absolutely amazing!

5)    As I said earlier, they come in 22 shades. These shades range from a naturl/nude to a deep plum. They provide a shiny glossy finish without shimmer.

6)    They only cost $4.99!!!!! That alone should make you want to try them. I purchased mine at Ulta, but some Target and Walmart stores carry NYX as well. FYI Ulta frequently does buy one get one 50% off on these glosses!!

CONS:

1)    They don’t contain shimmer (this may not be a con for you.) I tend to wear more shimmer glosses, so at first I was a little disappointed that no shades contained any. However, once putting these on my lips I was so impressed it didn’t matter anymore.

2)    The really dark shades tend to be a little streaky :( I didn’t purchase any of the real dark shades for this reason. Again, everything is personal preference so I would definitely use the tester before your purchase and test them yourself on your hand.

Below are the shades I purchased:

From left to right: Strawberry Parfait (Berry/Fushia), Cupcake (Hot Pink), Vanilla Creme Pie (Baby Pink), Tiramisu (Brown Nude), Angel Food Cake (Mauve), Maple Blondie (Deep Peach), Crème Brulee (Natural), Éclair (Lavender/Pink).
