NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm

I'm so glad that NYX products have become more readily available within the UK as I have an obsession with these little tubes of product that masquerade as gloss on first inspections but actually apply as a matte lip stain, yes I am of course talking about NYX's Soft Matte Lip Creams.

Each NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream's comes presented within a tube much like a typical lip gloss and also feature a bog standard soft foam doe foot applicator which actually works really well with the product. The shade housed inside corresponds to the colour of the outer packaging which makes finding the shade you are after that little easier in the morning.

The newest addition to my stash of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream's is Stockholm - having visited Stockholm I do find the name choice a little bizarre as a nude lip isn't something I really associate with such city?
Anyway that aside NYX's Stockholm is a rich medley of pink and brown with a slight yellow undertone.
It is very much a neutral shade but fairly deep for a nude and somewhat akin to Bobbi Brown's Tawny Pink Creamy Matte Lip Colour both in shade and finish.
One thing that has to be said about the NYX Soft Lip Creams is that the colour pay off is beyond wonderful.

If you are familiar with Collection (2000's) Cream Puff's Lip Products then you will not be disappointed by NYX's offering aptly called Soft Matte Lip Cream. NYX's Soft Matte Lip Creams are thick and unsurprisingly a cream like substance that feel soft and velvet like on the lips. They apply wonderfully with one swipe of colour giving full opaque coverage with intense pigmentation. Just as the Collection 2000 lip puffs have a sweet vanilla scent so do the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, yes it is slightly artificial smelling but not unpleasant and once worn I do not find it to be all that detectable. Unlike some matte products I do not find these lip creams in any way drying and have found them to be more comfortable than most matte lip products to wear so much so I often forget I actually have anything on my lips. My only criticism is that I do find the Soft Matte finish to highlight any dryness of the lips. In terms of where each application tends to last around the 3 hour mark excluding eating or drinking.
