How's everybody doin'? It's the end of February already. I'm pretty excited for March because summer is officially here. Time to go to the beach again. =)
Anyway, now that the love month is over, imma remove the raining hearts in here. I will sort of miss these hearts but I'm thinking of a new animation for summer. And of course, as promised (I'm sorry it took me a long time to post this), I'm going to post a review about the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams I recently completed --- in all beautiful colors.

| Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams |
Last year, I fell in love with two SMLCs first, Antwerp and San Paulo. I even made a review about them that time. Afterwards, the rest is history. I get myself two or three new shades every once in a while, until finally, I completed the eleven lovely shades.
The Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream is not your ordinary lipstick, lip gloss, etc. I like it very much because it's very pigmented, lasts on the lips for quite a long time and it's very affordable (250 pesos and up online). Application is a breeze because of its doe foot applicator. The formula is creamy, and it glides on very smoothly, with a very weightless feel. After a few minutes, it dries up to a very pretty soft matte finish. It has this distinct creamy/vanilla smell too. The only downside is that it dries my lips and certain shades really settle on the cracks/lines. So to help, I use a lip balm first.
Over-all, I love the Nyx SMLC because there's no lip product like it out there. Even if dryness is a problem, I can always solve it by using my Carmex or Burt's Bees. I was once told by a friend that lip scrubbing will greatly help when it comes to dry lips. I'll try that soon. Best of all, the colors are all really pretty. I know this review is very late, but I really wanted to complete them first so I can see what really looks good on me. Here they are. =)
Again, picture-heavy.

| Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream Swatches |
Swatches from L-R: Amsterdam, Stockholm, Tokyo, London, Antwerp, Istanbul, Addis Ababa, San Paulo, Abu Dhabi, Monte Carlo, Milan
 |
| Abu Dhabi |
Abu Dhabi is a warm nude color with a brownish undertone.
 |
| Addis Ababa |
Addis Ababa is a bright hot pink shade. I never thought that I'll never be able to sport a hot pink lippie, but I do now. =)
 |
| Amsterdam |
Amsterdam is a cool-toned red.
 |
| Antwerp |
Antwerp is my favorite. It's a nude peachy pink coral shade. It's very pretty.
 |
| Istanbul |
Istanbul is a pale pink shade.
 |
| London |
London is a brownish nude.
 |
| Milan |
Milan is a cool toned and bright fuchsia pink.
 |
| Monte Carlo |
Monte Carlo is a raspberry red shade.
 |
| San Paulo |
San Paulo is another favorite. It's a bright rosy pink shade.
 |
| Stockholm |
Stockholm is a pinkish coral nude.
 |
| Tokyo |
Tokyo is a pale bubblegum pink. I hate to admit it, but I find this shade very difficult to pull off.
There you go. I hope you like Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams as much as I do. Gotta go to bed now. =)

thanks too anna. they're all very pretty but in choosing, you can start with my favorites. :)
Great color swatches! I'm inlove with NYX SMLCs too! And I super agree with you, there's nothing like it out there! What I love about that product is the weightless feel and the matte finish. I currently have four at the moment, Addis Ababa, London, San Paulo and Antwerp. I'm planning to get the red shades next!
Kainggit, you completed it na! :)
