My Beauty Must-Haves: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

Looking for an amazing drug store beauty find? NYX’s new Soft Matte Lip Creams are going to be your holy grail. They’re flying off the shelves everywhere they’re sold–and for good reason.

This lip cream is unlike any other lip product on the market right now. It’s not a stain, it’s not a lipstick, it’s not a gloss. Instead, it applies easily like a gloss, but has the characteristics of a satiny matte lipstick.

For such an inexpensive price (it retails for just $5.99!), NYX’s lip cream applies like a high-end product. The cream is insanely smooth, opaque, buttery and pigmented. One swipe on the top and bottom lip will leave you good to go for an entire day. Seriously–it doesn’t smudge like lipstick and doesn’t need to be constantly reapplied like lipgloss. What more could a girl ask for?

NYX’s matte lip creams come in an array of shades all over the spectrum, so you’re bound to find a color you love. One reason I tend to shy away from matte lip products is because they tend to dry out my lips. But amazingly, the formula in this cream is moisturizing, and I’ve never had a problem with dryness. If you want to go for a glossy look, the lip cream is the perfect base that will hold all day.

NYX’s Soft Matte Lip Creams are available for purchase at Ulta and your local drug store.
