Cherry Culture Part 2- NYX Round Lipstick Swatches

So here are the NYX Round Lipstick's I ordered. I did a previous post of the other products I bought, so check that out at well. 

First of, I decided to order more of these lipsticks because a while back I ordered about  20 of them and really liked them. I might consider doing some swatches of them as well. These lipsticks are really creamy and moisturizing, which is very surprising considering the price. One of the main reasons I like them is because they don't irritate my lips. I started using Blistex Lip Medex when I was 10 years old, so now 11 years later I have a bad addiction to it.

I think using so much Blistex has made my lips sensitive to certain lipsticks and lip glosses especially the one's with shimmer, I just can't wear them at all.  

 In this order I basically ordered pinks because that's what I mostly use. I have to say I love every single color, something I wasn't expecting. 

In the swatches below the photos with the flash are a more accurate representation of what each color looks like in person. However, in the first set of lipsticks I couldn't use the flash because they are really light colors, but the color is fairly close in the photo.

Girl On a Budget- MAC VS NYX Lipstick

So, I realize not everyone can afford $14.50 lipstick. Therefore I am comparing MAC lipsticks with NYX lipstick that are similar in color. Also, I understand many women like to try different shades all the time so this is a way of trying new shades of lipsticks and not go broke. 

MAC- 

Girl About Town (on top) 

$14.50

NYX Round lipgloss 

Doll Pink (bottom)

 $2.00

So the NYX is a lipgloss because I didn't have a lipstick similar to the MAC lipstick. I really love both colors, they are like a fuchsia color. They have a blue undertone which is perfect for people with a cool skin tone. In fact, I just realized the NYX lipgloss has blue reflectives when in the light, but you can only see them in the case and only when the light hits it. 

MAC-

$14.50

NYX Round lipstick 

Chaos (right)

$2.50 

The MAC Red has a more yellow undertone when compared to NYX Chaos. I can honestly say that I love NYX Chaos because it has a blue undertone, which goes with my skin color. In the photo you can also see that the NYX Chaos is shinier than MAC Red.  Also,the  NYX Round Lipsticks are very creamy and slide on very smoothly. They do not dry out your lips, something that impressed me because of the price. The only thing I recommend is to be careful when applying the NYX Chaos because since it glides on so smooth, it is very easy to make a mistake. Don't forget to line your lips when using red!!!

MAC- 

Quiet Please (middle) 

$14.50

NYX Round lipstick

$2.50 

NYX Round lipstick 

Circe (right)

$2.50 

Sorry for the photo, these colors were very hard to photograph since they are very light. But as you can see all three are very similar. These are all great for a nude lip. MAC's Quite Please has more shimmer than both of the NYX lipsticks. NYX Circe is almost matte and has no shimmer in it, Frosted Flakes has some shimmer but that as much as MAC's. Also, MAC's quite please is kind of sheer so to get the color you have to out a few layers.
