NYX Black Label Lipsticks!

After reading reviews about NYX's Black Label Lipstick, I was on a mission to try them. I'm already a huge fan of their circle lipsticks and have quite a few in my collection. But these black label ones are amazing, far better than the circle ones! Why? Because they are highly moisturizing, almost balm like. I got them from trusty Cherry Culture in four shades - Acapulco, Nude, Beige and India for $6.00 each.

I only swatched two of the four colors because I haven't opened the other ones yet! =p




Nude and Acapulco are gorgeous GORGEOUS colors. I am in love with them! LOVE. I also like the faint grape smell as well. Reminds me of my childhood lip balms!

Acapulco is a vibrant pink with some purple tones. Slightly more pink, but depends on your natural lip color.
Nude is light beige with milky pink and peach tones.
Both have shimmer in it.




Acapulco

Acapulco again!

Nude

Nude again :) Sorry if you see little hairs... I haven't trimmed my beard yet, LOL :)

I use lip balm underneath and a little bit of clear lip gloss on top which is why the lipstick is lighter on my lips than on the swatch. I also use my ring finger to "blot" it, or to smooth it out since the color goes on a little streaky. I do this with all my lipsticks though, maybe out of habit. Makes life easier :)

I cannot wait to try India and Beige now! Now now now. Will show you guys swatches of it soon! 

Thoughts on the Black Label line? What colors do you recommend?

YAY FOR NYX <3 I love my BL lipstick in Nude as well.. My only problem with NYX lippies is that they smell SO terribly gross >_<"

Tracy D said...

Ebru said...

Love these colors! I've only tried one of these NYX black label lipsticks and gave it away to a friend who looked gorgeous wearing it. The color was just really wrong for me, gotta love buying online! lol I love how Acapulco looks, it's really pretty!

Shareena said...

wow..Acapulco is nice on you. I love the nude ones as well.. probably match my skin tone better.. I still searching for a nice pink without making my face look sick or tired.. ^-^
Thanks for the review!

These are so gorgeous on you! I love the colors, especially the Nude one. I'm oddly drawn to light peachy nudes, even though I have naturally more berry-tinted lips and peachy colors in general look hideous on me lol. xD

Thanks for the pics! I have yet to try any NYX lippies but they're definitely on my list :)

Emily♥ 에밀리 ♥エミリー said...

Oh, and the part about the beard made me laugh ;)

Unknown said...

I love nude of you! How flattering the color is? I have recently got 6 circle lipsticks but they tend to be TOO moisturizing for me. They made my lip lines even more obvious so I had to return them. I am only keeping 2 as they have no shimmers and seem to do a better job on not making the lines on my lips obvious. How would you compare these to the circle lipsticks? Do you think these are not as "wet" as them? I am still very interested in buying more nyx stuff, but I would love to know more before I do so :P Thanks in advance, Jen!

Amy said...

Wooww that lip color looks so pretty on you and I really didn't notice any hairs at all! :) I'm very encouraged to check these lippies out...

Priscilla said...

Both colors look great! I STILL haven't tried anything NYX but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on some products soon. Both colors are definitely on my to-purchase list! :)

sugar sugar said...

these look so pretty on your lips!! cannot wait for the other 2 swatches! xD

Unknown said...

The colors look really nice on you! I have India too - it's a pretty nude, but I hate how it settles into every fine lip on my lip ><

Anonymous said...

wow both of those colours are beautiful on you! it's not fair they're so expensive in Jp >_< lol

Unknown said...

damn it these are so pretty! You always sell me on lipsticks for some reason - dunno what it is but the pinks and coral oranges you pick always appeal to me :} Havent tried this line yet but I do love NYX lipsticks :D

laura said...

I love NYX lip stuffs, and I love that Acapulco color on you! It's the perfect blend of nude and pink!

And thanks for the recs, I am definitely going to Pike's! :)

Bijin Blair said...

Acapulco and Nude look great on you!!! Not too keen on the regular line, perhaps the colours that I chose didn't flatter me. Will check out the Black Label line right away, you're such an enabler!

Unknown said...

Awesome swatches and I don't even see any hairs lol. So like what you said, these are way better than round lipsticks right?

/ xw said...

I should get my hands on these!

Silkybow said...

omgsh all of those colours are so pretty. NYX looks like a good brand! :)

Unknown said...

Maybe I should try these ones as well, have a lot of the round NYX lipstick!
The nude one is so beautiful!

FashionableAsians said...

The Acapulco one is my fave of the two, perfect for spring/summer looks! definitely gonna pick that up if I see it around!
