The best thing NYX has ever done for its product was including a full sized tube of butter gloss in the Ipsy bag. Seriously. I had been wanting to get another one for some time now, but seeing all you guys’ posts last week pushed me over the edge into making another purchase. I had my eye on Creme Brulee, but when I spotted this pretty lavender shade called Merengue, I knew this one would be the winner.
In direct sunlight
In shade
Color: NYX describes this color as a pink lilac and I would have to agree. Depending on your skin tone, this may skew more towards a cool-toned pink or a lavender. On me this looks like a medium-bright, very wearable lilac. Like the other butter glosses I’ve tried, this formula is surprisingly opaque for a gloss.
Texture: Butter glosses tend to creamy. This feels a touch heavier on the lips than the other color I own, Peaches and Cream. There is still a touch of that lipgloss stickiness. I also found this to be very moisturizing.
Application: This glides on from the tube smoothly. It can take a bit of work to get it to apply evenly, but I wouldn’t say that it’s challenging to work with.
Wear: This wore well for about 3 hours without food or drink and naturally, disappeared at the first sign of a beverage. It did not feather and unlike Peaches and Cream, did not leave a stain.
Price: $4.99
Cruelty-Free: That’s why I love NYX.
So what do you think? Did the Ipsy posts inspire you to buy a butter gloss? Would you rock this lilac shade? Let me know in the comments below!
I LOVE NYX products- good quality at very affordable prices. Haven’t tried the Butter Gloss, but you’ve got my interest peaked.
They are so lovely. Besides some glosses that I’ve gotten as gifts, these are the only ones I own.
I’ve been wanting to try the butter glosses forEVER but haven’t yet – this makes them sound perfect for summer. I don’t think I could pull off this color but the formula sounds pretty great!
I really love them. They have a lot of more natural looking colors and a few oranges and reds too, if that suits you more.
I love this color, this is one of them I don’t have, I’m definitely picking it up!! :)))
What colors do you have? Any that you would recommend?
Oh my gosh I have about 10-12 of them almost all of them lol. A couple that i reach for most consistently are: eclair, sugar cookie, peaches n cream, cupcake, creme brule and cherry cheescake. Im quite obsessed w these glosses lol!!! ♥♡♥
