NYX High Voltage Lipstick - Stone & Flutter Kiss
03:11
NYX recently became available at my favourite online shop - www.feelunique.com and since I consider myself a fan of the brand, I just had to order a couple of new things to try.
The range of products is very broad, as well as the available shades and colours. The prices vary, I notice them being a little being higher when it comes to the face products, but as a whole I consider NYX to be rather affordable.
I honestly do not have that much of an experience with NYX, but most of what I have tried has not disappointed me. I own a couple of their jumbo pencils - one in gold and the oh so popular white one - I can't say that I use them that often, but they do a good job as a shadow base. My favourite contour powder is also theirs - the blush in Taupe, which by the way has been discontinued in its typical format, instead it can be found as a part of the HD range (also available at the website, but Taupe is not on the list). I have also tried their Butter Gloss in the shade Peaches and Cream, which I also enjoyed, as well as their concealer in a jar and eyeshadow primer in Pearl.
I am definitely excited to find out what more do they offer and I would make sure to share my impressions with all of you.
Stone and Flutter Kiss are definitely "my kind of lipsticks" but at the same time different enough from all I already own.
Each cost 7,54€ and contains 2.5 g of product.
The packaging is plastic and very lightweight, to me doesn't really look like something that would be very sturdy, but we shall see. Nevertheless I find it to be cute enough and I really enjoy the more "slender" format and the shape of the lipstick itself.

I will cut right to the chase - I do enjoy and recommend both shades I got, as well as the whole line itself. The formula is so so creamy, one swipe is enough to cover the lips and leave them evenly coated, without skipping or leaving empty areas. While creamy, the formula is still controllable and doesn't slide outside of the lip lines. The finish is not overly glossy either, a little bit shiny, but nothing dramatic.
Both of the lipsticks I own are quite pigmented and the whole process of application was very pleasant, they are very comfortable on the lips. The creaminess is present for a very long time and I can barely feel that I have anything on. The formula is not greasy, sticky and stays in place.
As I said earlier I do enjoy the thinner bullet and the shape helps to ease the application process making the a little bit more precise.
I would not say that the lipstick itself is hydrating but doesn't dry out the lips and at least so far I have never encountered anything negative to say about it.
On me Flutter Kiss leaves a slight stain while it starts wearing off, Stone on the other hand disappears completely without a trace.
I would not say they are long-lasting, but they aren't advertised as such either and they do leave marks on glasses or cutlery. One swipe is enough to bring the colour back to life and at least I have no issues with the wear time.

On me Flutter Kiss is a mixture of pink and purple, definitely looks a lot darker upon application. Stone looks very beige but in reality it is a brown with a gray undertone.
I would definitely add to my collection at least one more shade, something brighter and out of my comfort zone, since the formula, texture and finish happens to be just what I look for in a lipstick
