NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: Addis Ababa


Saved the brightest for last! I think a lot of people will really love the colour of this one - it's a real "look at me" shade. Ten years ago, I'd have been all over it. It's a bit bright for me these days, sadly.

    That is by far my favourite of the NYX lip creams that you have reviewed. Gorgeous with your beautiful pale skin!

    I think I have too much yellow in my skintone to pull it off.

    This looks great but it's the kinda product I'd buy and never ever use. I just don't think I have the kinda face that can pull off suck bright lip shades. Though I might actually use it if I was to apply a full face of rather OTT makeup on a day when I know I wont be leaving the house. Not that I'd do that of course cos it would be a bit sad *cough*

    Yeah, I'd never be sad enough to do anything like that either, Joy. *ahem*

    Hi, I'm from Brazil, I found your blog today and I loved!
    this color is beautiful, but I thought it was more pink, I mean, dark pink.

    Hi Paola - I'm glad you like my blog. :-)

    It is a bit surprising the difference between the colour in the tube and on the lips. It looks much darker and brighter in the tube.

    Hi Catherine! I'm a bit of a NYX junkie, and currently in the process of reswatching all my NYX products, so you'll be seeing a lot more of it if you keep reading! ;-)
