Review: NYX round glosses + swatches

NYX Round glosses are a great buy at Cherry Culture. I don’t see how you can go wrong for $2! There is a very slight scent and taste of lemon, which goes away almost immediately. It is not objectionable.

NYX Sparkle 05
Isn’t this a gorgeous color for a softer look! It reminds me of the look of the new Too Faced ones, but there is less glitter. Shown in 3 different lights, one without flash.

Doll Pink 08
This is a very pretty pink. It looks good in different lights.

Apricot 19 Wanted to try something different.
Applied heavy, right out of the wand. A glorious apricot, not quite as pink as this shows. It comes down to a lovely moist stain after a bit.

About 2 hours later, after drinking a couple of cups of tea. Still a lot of product on my lips.

Peach 13
This is a beautiful, light clear peach. Used heavily, it is more opaque. I know it’s going to be a favorite.
Photobucket

Pinky Natural 26
Starts out strong, ends in a pretty pink stain-look, that is a bit deeper.
Photobucket

Ballerina Pink 36

This is a pretty bright but soft pink that is almost a neutral on me. It was very pretty in RL.

Wild Orchid 12
This color is fab too! This one is more metallic in look, with a teeny bit of spark that adds vibes, but you can’t see it.

Queen of Africa
This is a gorgeous magenta, but I applied this sparingly over my lips that were stained with whatever was left of my color from earlier.

Photobucket

Golden Red 04
This is a glorious color! I don’t think the picture does it justice. It’s just a perfect color with the right amount of pizazz.

Color Story
It comes in a wide array of colors. It’s hard to know, when purchasing online, if there is sparkle in all of them, perhaps not. But, what the hey! for $2.

I figured if the color(s) didn’t look like me in RL, they would become stocking gifts, since I shop all year for the holidays.

How about you?
Have you tried this formula? what colors do you have?

My recommendation
These are certainly worth your while to try. If you pick a color you know is you, then you will be very satisfied. Go for it!

Check on this post often, because as I try another shade, I will update the pix.

5 for color and applicator
5 for moisture
4+ for gloss feel, a little slippery, but still nice, not sticky at all
4+ for lasting power, it might migrate a little, but not much

I tried these and they feel great on the lips… very silky.
