Hi Darlings,
Today’s review is going to be of the NYX Lip Lingerie, this is a very popular formula by the brand and all the shades from this line are somewhat nude: they have different undertone and darkness.
On the website they say: “Luxurious liquid lipstick with a plush, Matte finish. Each sultry shade will coat the curves of your lips with irresistibly creamy color.”
They are available on nyxcosmetics.com for 7$ each and I have two shades Embellishment and Bedtime Flirt.
EMBELLISHMENT
This is the first shade I got and one of the most popular: it’s a really cool toned mauvey grey. The shade is quite different from what I usually wear but I wanted to try it.
PACKAGING
The packaging is really long and skinny in a hard plastic material. The shade name is a bit tricky to find but overall I like it.
FORMULA & APPLICATION
It has a really long doefoot applicator that I really like because it makes super easy to draw a crisp line but it picks up too much product that I have to clean on the neck of the bottle.
I hate this liquid lipstick, the formula is super thick and gloopy, somehow it menages to be super creamy and super dry at the same time.
It is quite moussy but it dries into a matt finish but it sooooo PATCHY. It clumps up on the side of the lips, it’s uneven and it looks terrible. It’s also really sticky.
It doesn’t really have a scent.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
Being this gloopy it does come off quite quickly and really crumbly, it lastes about two hours on me before becoming really uncomfortable and it’s SO HARD to remove. I really have to scrub my lips to take it off.
DUPES
Some dupes I’ve found online are (just to be clear Embellishment is the first one):
- Sephora Cream Lip Stain in 13 Marvelous Mauve
- MAC Lip Liner in Soar
- Nars Velvet Lip Glide in Bound
But as you can see none of those is a match, they are all warmer.
RATING:
- Colour: 7/10
- Longevity: 4/10
- Application: 5/10
- Pigmentation: 3/10
- Comfort: 3/10
- Scent: 8/10
GRADE: D-
This liquid lipstick is so disappointing, I like the shade, the packaging and the scent. But the formula is super clumply and patchy, the application is difficult because is so stricky and the lasting power is terrible yet it’s so hard to remove. Such a strong pass.
BEDTIME FLIRT
Even after the terrible experience with Embellishment I decided to give this formula another chance and THANK GOD I DID, If you have been following this blog for awhile you’d know that this is one of my favourite lipstick of all times! I love this shade, is a dark rosy brownie nude that is absolutely stunning for everyday wear or pared with darker smokey eye.
PACKAGING
The packaging is really long and skinny in a hard plastic material. The shade name is a bit tricky to find but overall I like it.
FORMULA & APPLICATION
It has a really long doefoot applicator that I really like because it makes super easy to draw a crisp line but it picks up too much product that I have to clean on the neck of the bottle.
Can’t believe how different this formula is: it’s creamy but matt and it goes on like a feather it’s so lightweight and comfortable. Be careful though, you need the thinnest coat or it will clump up.
It’s not sticky or dry, it goes on super smooth and it meshes with the lips becoming one with them.
It doesn’t really have a scent.
SWATCH
LASTING POWER
Once it dries IT LASTS ALL DAY, on me it stays put for 7 hours before fading, you can easily wipe it off and reapply it.
DUPES
I wasn’t able to find a dupe in my collection but I’ve seen this post on Pinterest it being a dupe for MAC Velvet Teddy. Swatch from www.daintyalice.com
RATING:
- Colour: 10/10
- Longevity: 9/10
- Application: 8/10
- Pigmentation: 10/10
- Comfort: 10/10
- Scent: 8/10
GRADE: A
I love love love this lipstick, so glad I got it dispite the terrible experience with the previous one, I like the formula since is so creamy yet matt, it’s a bit tricky to apply because you have to do such a thin layer or it will get clumpy but the lasting power is amazing, it’s not drying and I can’t recommend it enough.

I’ve had similar problems with NYX lipsticks before. Just like the Embellishment one! But maybe it was those particular shades! Will maybe give these a shot again! thanks! xx
The shades are SO hit or miss! You can try bedtime flirt, that a really good one 😉 let me know what shades didn’t work for you though, I want to buy more and I’d love to avoid the misses 😊💕
unfortunately I don’t have them anymore 🙁 I just threw them away :/ I hate having lipsticks I don’t like, otherwise I’ll be reaching for them anyways and then spend the entire day feel awful and trying to fix it when it goes bad 😥😥
I totally understand, I’m the same 😘😘
I have been very hit or miss on their lipsticks – especially these ones! I have 3 different ones and they all seem totally different in formula etc. I love how you rated them too, so useful! xx
Thank you! It’s so random, I want to try more shades but I’m hesitant because if that 🙁💕
OMG I LOVE EMBELISHMENT I HAVE GOT IT the only thing is that i mix it never tried it on its won maybe i should and see if i experience a similar problem. nice review
With what do you mix it? I’m desperate to find a way to use it 😊💕
I also have the Bedtime Flirt lippie, and I love it! I have other shades of the NYX lip lingerie range, and with some, I had the same problem with the formula. It just felt gloopy and too much. But with others, it was really good! Strange that they differ so much from shade to shade!
It’s crazy how much the formula changes between each shade, but Bedtime Flirt has my heart!
They all so different on the lips compared to the swatches! Loving the colors though.
Thank you for stopping by 😊💕
I love establishment, I also have bedroom flirt and I feel it’s a bit meh. It’s strange how the same lipstick can be totally different on other people, it’s like perfume
😂😂 True story! I LOVE bedtime flirt 😍😘
Crazy how different they are! Love the second shade (:
The best 😘😘
What pretty colors. Thanks for the reviews!
Thank you for reading 😊💕
Bedtime flirt is also my favorite shade!
Love it! 😘💖💖💖
Embellishment looks so disappointing! It’s such a shame because the color is so lovely. But i’m glad Bedtime Flirt is better! I’ll have to try it out ☺️ great review always!
So heartbroken for embellishment but yes, bedtime flirt is the bomb 😍😍 you’ll love it
Pretty colors! Thanks for your reviews, this is helpful. I love mattes, but it’s hard to find ones that are not drying or make my lips cracked.
Thank you for reading 😊💕
My preface are the nude shades. Like how they are matte and not all shiny and glossy. Love the different colors.
Nude shades are the best 😊
“Bedtime Flirt” looks so good on you! I actually really love Embellishment, but I have friends that had the same experience as you did with that shade. I do agree that it dries your lips out and crumbles, BUT I love the color so much I couldn’t give it up. I like to put a very thin layer of balm on first (my personal favorite is Aquaphor) to avoid all of this.
I have to try your tip, I love the colour too, I really want to find a way to make it work 😊 thank you for the suggestion 😘😘
Buying their products is always risky…. I just bought their butter gloss kit and I like only one of the three!
I have three of those too and you are right, I only love one, I feel like with NYX I either LOVE their products or I HATE them, there’s no in between
Those shades are really pretty! I love them all. LOL!

Your reviews are awesome – I love the detail and the images! The photos are so helpful to get an accurate sense of shade and finish. Definitely saving this one!
Thank you so much, you are so kind 💖
It’s odd how the formula isn’t the same, such a shame as the colours are beautiful! X
True story ☹️
Wow, it’s incredible how the 2 are actually completely different… I know which one to avoid now 😉

It’s crazy that the formula can be so hit or misses 😀
Such beautiful shades! I love NYX. They have great products!
And they have so many shades 😘😘
I love how you explain this! I haven’t tried the Embellishment and I def want to try it now!
You should try the other shade, Embellishment is terrible 😅
I have Bedtime Flirt and really love it. But, you are right, their products can be hit or miss. I’ll skip trying the Embellishment as I haven’t tried that one yet.
Bedtime Flirt is the bomb! 😍😍
Such a great review on these lippies. I am a huge fan of NYX. I’m eager to try a few of these shades out.
xoxo,
