Beauty on a Budget: NYX Lip Lacquer Pot Review and Swatches

Dude!

NYX Lip Lacquer Pot reminds me of the NARS Lip Lacquer Pots only cheaper! $5 bucks, 12 shades, loves it!

Jump!

NYX Lip Lacquer Pot are coming atcha shortly from NYX but while you’re waiting the Muse is here to give you a little sneaky peep.

NYX is releasing 12 shades of lip lacquer sometime this month which will range for $5 each, score, holy cheapness batman! It’s a highly pigmented gloss that can be applied with fingers or a lip brush and comes housed in a tiny pot.

The Muse finds it hard to speak no evil about these little guys as they are quite nice. Not digging the taste as it does have a slightly odd thing going on there but aside from that it’s golden. I tried it in Okie Dokie Artichokie (No, I so did not keep a straight face when I typed that) and found the shade was way off and didn’t look so fab on me however in the pot it’s a rather pretty shade of shimmering nude beige-brown. I see a crimson shade or two on my press sheet which I think will be way more suitable for my skin tone than this particular shade, so yay for hauling when they release later this month as I definitely want to pick those up. The formula is quite thick and emollient and glides on fairly well leaving behind plenty of pigmentation so indeed it lives up to it’s name, “lacquer”. It has a nice glossy shine with the added benefit of great color pay off. I found the jar was a tad too tiny for my finger so fingertip application was a no go but I’m not complaining as I rarely like to touch my lip products.

Overall, the variety of shades combined with the great formula and inexpensive price tag make NYX Lip Lacquer a nice little beauty on a budget pick.

Likey lots, Muse Approved for purchase.

Available shortly from NYX.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    Want. And that is the cutest name for a shade. XD Though what that color has to do with artichokes, I do not know. XD

  • Jane

    I love the look of this product. I hope I will be able to find it in other stores or on cherry culture. I cannot get onto the NYX website for the life of me. But the product does look very promising.

  • Tammy

    Looks nice! I have yet to try NYX. I’m not a fan of sticking my fingers into pots,though. Oh, and the color looks nice on you!

  • mercedes

    hi muse! another question for ya (sorries 😀 ) did it have good staying power of lets say mac lipglass? *raises her eyebrows in disbelief*

  • Fullyunderstand

    I just got the Georia Peach and I love this gloss!!! It is more pink than peach, but it’s smooth and lasts a pretty long time. I definately will be getting more colors.

  • Christina

    MUSE, I’d love to know how Georgia Peach, Rainbow and Corallicious are – that’s the ones I am interested in!

    • Fullyunderstand

      @Christina,

      I have the Georgian Peach and Rainbow. They are gorgeous…Georgia Peach has a little bit of a pink undertone, but it’s a soft color. The Rainbow is a great over any lipstick. They are definately my new faves to use for a nude lip.

  • Christina

    hi Fullyunderstand, thanks so much for confirming I need them – me’s a nude lip junkie (and coral junkie, so I guess I better try that one too 😀 )

    • Fullyunderstand

      Chrisina, I bought Georgia Peach first to make sure I like them. Then I went back and go the Rainbow. I loved them both so much…I just ordered the Coralicious and Night in Manhattan. I should have just ordered them all and got it over with…LOL.

      • Christina

        way to go girl :))) it was smart to try them out first – could’ve been their texture would not be good or anything right? I think I’m gonna trust you gals and get 3 or 4 at once though thanks 😀

  • Ally

    Hey Muse, have you ever tried the NYX jumbo lip pencils? I just got my first- shade is Soft Fuschia (gorgeous pink with a hint of brown). Wow these are so great! Super soft, creamy, and totally pigmented!! They’re like a super creamy lipstick in a big pencil. Nice staying power too. Not too impressed with the shade range however 🙁 Anyway, just wanted to give you a heads up on these in case you haven’t tried them. Such a great product!!
