First of all I commend NYX on their lovely packaging. I love how they are all colour co-ordinated to their shade so I can easily see which is which in my makeup storage, and I think they look very cute.
The lip creams are unlike anything I've ever tried before and I think that added to my excitement to try the product. They may be liquid with an applicator - which makes applying very easy, but they are nothing like a lip gloss. They aren't sticky but feel really soft on your lips, which is probably why it says 'soft' in their name. Eventually they dry on your lips matte and I am very impressed with how they set. The lip creams last a really long time - through eating and drinking mine still hadn't come off!
I bought Athens first, a nude shade that I loved that so much I went to get another shade. I ended up choosing Abu Dhabi because it is still a nude but darker and more brown toned. I am very used to pink toned lipsticks so I have really enjoyed something a bit different with these lip creams.
Swatches of the lip creams:
As you can see, Abu Dhabi is a lot more brown toned, Athens is quite peach toned. A shade I would quite like to try is 'London' because this is probably the middle ground of the two. I would definitely like to purchase more shades (there's 21 in total!) and at only £5.50 what's not to love?
These are both such pretty shades! So need to try these
