I would probably buy this again!

The NYX Powder Puff Lippies have a sponge like cushion applicator with a fat rounded tip. This rounded edge makes precise application really hard and it’s not very easy to apply the lipstick evenly on the corner of the lips. It’s easier to wear these lipsticks after defining your lips with a lip liner so that the lips only need to be filled. These lipsticks have a soft, mousse-y texture which feels extremely comfortable on the lips. However, I found that the formula wasn’t very consistent across the range when it came to coverage. The shades ‘Squad Goals’ and ‘Pop Quiz’ were a bit streaky when applied and needed multiple coats for even application. I also felt that this applicator added to the uneven application as it made the lipstick move around the lips.The lipsticks stay true to their name and dry down to a powder like finish. They are not extremely matte and feel comfortable on the lips without drying them down. The NYX Powder Puff Lippies don’t accentuate any dryness on the lips and don’t settle in the fine lines. These lippies remind me of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in terms of the formula.

Staying Power: The NYX Powder Puff Lippies are not transfer proof and have very inconsistent formulas.The shades ‘Squad Goals’ and ‘Cool Intentions’ stayed put on the lips for 3-4 hours with light snacking and then started fading away from the centre of the lips. The shade ‘Moody’ also stayed put on the lips for 3 hours but instead of fading away evenly, the colour started bleeding and gave me a weird ring of colour around my lips. It was like the water and the lip pigment were separating. The shade ‘Pop Quiz’ started bleeding around my lips in just 1 hour of application. I had to take the lipstick off and apply something else as it looked unappealing. However, none of these lipsticks will stay put through a proper meal as they are not matte lipsticks and they rub off pretty easily. My Overall Experience:

Even though the NYX Powder Puff Lippies look like a fun lipstick to own with the unique cushion applicator and nice shades, I was left a little disappointed with them. The formulas were inconsistent, they didn’t last very long and some shades started bleeding around my lips. I would probably only re use 2 out of the 4 shades I own but they would not be my first choice when it comes to picking up a lipstick. I feel that NYX has many more lipstick formulas which are definitely better than these and have more colour options as well. So from my side, I would not recommend these lipsticks, especially if you are looking for a long lasting lipstick.

Pros Cons
• Comfortable on the lips • Limited availability
• Different cushion applicator • Inconsistent formula
• Universal shades • Patchy and Streaky on lips
• Certain shades start bleeding.

Formula? On point. Packaging? Not so hot.

I have purchased this product on more than one occasion. I like their colour selection, and the formula is great. I don’t find that it’s too drying on the lips, but i would still definitely recommend a lip exfoliate or lip balm before application. The packaging of the product is what gets me. To be honest, the applicator isn’t great. I don’t like the feeling of the sponge on my lips, and it sort of feels a little more invasive than just a classic doefoot applicator. I find myself putting a small amount of product on the back of my hand, and applying with a lip brush. I tap it in with my finger tip to blend, and voila, kissable lips baby.

Very unique, comfortable lippie

I like this a lot! The formula really does feel like powder, it’s silky and light. The price is very affordable and it creates a very subtle look or you can build it up. It’s comfortable and although it does fade after half a day it’s easy to reapply and it fades quite pretty. Only downside is it’s hard to get a precise line with these, even with a lip brush because of the formula. I got th shade Puppy Love which is a fun summer coral.
