NYX’s Butter glosses have been around for a while but I’ve
just recently discovered the right colors for myself and I freaking love them.
They take me by surprise because I’m not really a gloss girl but these have me
converted.
They come in a wide variety of colors. I originally tried this product in Merengue
and I remember really disliking it – mainly because the color was unsuitable
for me and also because the consistency was thinner and thus applied patchier
than the two recent ones I’ve purchased. This time I chose Vanilla Cream Pie and Peaches
and Cream and it’s these two colors that I will be reviewing today.
These butter glosses are so convenient to carry around
because they are moisturizing enough to replace my lip balm and pigmented
enough to act as a lip color. I have no problem applying these on dry lips and
they hide rather than accentuate dry spots on my lips. They really do melt onto
the lips like butter and they feel light on the lips as well.
At around $5 USD, they’re very affordable. Although I
purchased mine at full price, they often go on sale at Buy 1 Get 1 Half Off at
Ulta.
The applicator is slanted at the base which allows for precise application on the lips.
On my lips, they last about 3 to 4 hours (without eating) -
which is decent staying time for a gloss. It’s definitely not a watery gloss. I
feel like they have a base that really attaches itself on the lips and this is
what keeps it on. Needless to say, it won’t be completely removed with a
napkin.
These are scented. They have a
very sweet, sugary frosting scent. Unless you are very sensitive to scents, I
don’t think you need to worry too much about it. Personally I find the scent quite pleasant and
after a few minutes I don’t even notice it anymore.
Vanilla Cream Pie is described as mauve on the website and correctly so. It has fair colour payoff but the consistency is lighter than Peaches and Cream.
Peaches and Cream is described as a pink coral.

Overall, I recommend checking these out. Since there is a wide color selection, I believe everyone can find a color that is suited for them. Of the two, Peaches and Cream is definitely my favorite because the color is more flattering on me and the consistency is a bit thicker. Lighter colours tend to be more watery than the darker colors.
