NYX Round Lipsticks - Reviews and Swatches

My latest ULTA haul includes five of NYX's Round Lipsticks.

At $3.99 a pop, they're a pretty fantastic deal. ULTA does many promotions and coupons, so I  shopped while NYX was BOGO 1/2 off (also added the ULTA $3.50 off coupon) and scored big with these.

Check 'em out:


Peach Bellini, Haute Melon, Indian Pink, Chic Red, and Snow White.

Swatched, same order:


The Shades:

Peach Bellini - A peach/coral color with a lot of shimmer. I real liked the shade, but the chunks of glitter just threw me off. Wasn't feeling it:


Haute Melon - An orange shade. The formula felt nice and smooth and I felt like it was a great summer color. A bit brighter in person:


Indian Pink - A soft pink. I felt it looked a little odd on my pigmented lips, but it is a pretty nice everyday shade:


Chic Red - A very bright pink red... blue undertones here. The color is very opaque and made my teeth look super white:


Snow White - A darker, vampy, more sultry red. I feel like this one looked the best on my warm skintone. Too bad the picture quality on this one is the worst of the bunch:


Here I am wearing Snow White:


The Formula:

This lipstick is incredibly impressive for the price. It lasts about four hours for me and isn't very drying. They are creamy, pigmented, and doesn't carry a strong smell. NYX's lip products have quickly become some of my favorite.

Final Verdict:

You can't beat these lipsticks at these prices. The range of shades and finishes is just amazing. ULTA has a pretty decent collection but check out their website at www.nyxcosmetics.com for a much bigger selection. You really can't go wrong with their lip products, and I definitely recommend them to all.
