NYX Girls Lip Gloss Frosted Red Review

by Shabby

Hello everyone!
NYX has always wooed the ladies with some of their very affordable makeup products and this particular lip gloss range is a treat for all lip gloss lovers. While even Indian brands are charging more than these babies they are such a steal. So please read on to know how I feel about the lip gloss.

Product Description:

Round Lip Gloss provides sheer coverage with robust colour to accentuate a pretty pout. Made with mineral oils and vitamin E, they come in 36 shades.

Price and Quantity:

3$ for 2.5 ml

My Take on NYX Girls Lip Gloss Frosted Red: 

People have some favourite things, right? Like some love mangoes and some like cherry. I have a soft corner for lipsticks and for me a lip gloss was a complete no-no. I naturally have fuller lips and gloss simply made them look even more plumped up. I simply did not like glosses. But even then I picked these up just because I loved the colour and also wanted to check this range out.

The packaging is simple and effective. The black lid has a doe foot applicator which is quite effective. The plastic long bottle like design is also very travel friendly and can be tossed into your vanity bag without any problem.

The consistency of the gloss is medium, not too sticky and not too runny. It glides on easily on the lips. It looks like a bright red with minute shimmers but on the lips the colour is quite sober and not OTT at all. It can be worn for casual day events as well as night events. Though the shimmers are not very prominent it does make the lips look a bit shinier.

Why I like this Lip Gloss?:

  • Affordable
  • Many shades to choose from
  • Travel friendly design
  • Minute shimmers
  • Not very sticky

Why I don’t like this Lip Gloss?:

  • Shimmers may not be everyone’s preference
  • It does tend to feather away and the shimmer particles sometimes cause problem

MABH Rating: 3/5

Will I recommend this to you?:

Well, if you would like a shimmer lip gloss at an affordable price this is ideal. But for those who do not love shimmer do not try this product.

Will I repurchase?:

No, given the fact that I usually do not use lip glosses I would rather stay away.

NYX Color Lip Balm Grazie – Pink or Red Toned? {Beauty Query}

Adi asks..

Hi Lancy 🙂

I noticed you’ve reviewed the NYX Color Lip Balm in Grazie and I was wondering if you could give me an idea as to what the exact colour is like? I have seen the swatches in the review but I still wanted to ask because I already have picked up Obrigado from this range and I don’t want to the two shades to be very similar!

Obrigado is a deep red with pretty much no pink in it. I have attached the swatch so can you tell me if Grazie is even a little bit similar to this? I guess Grazie has a bit of pink in it right? Is it a bit like Berry Crush from Baby Lips?

Would really appreciate any help on this 🙂 :*

Hey Adi! NYX Grazie is of course a pink toned lip balm but the pink is not a ‘hot pink’. It is a beautiful wearable melon pink with rosy red undertones to it. The brand describes it as a red toned pink but I feel there is more pink in it 🙂 Sometimes, it really showed on my lips more like a reddish pink shade but when I swatched it now, it looks more or less similar to Maybelline berry crush, but with a water melony tint! The color that shows up depends on your skin color and undertones. I remember it showing up on my lips more redder (than pink) some days.
But I am sure you will love the shade Grazie! It moisturizes lips so well and leaves behind a lovely tint. I personally liked this one more than berry crush in terms or tint and fragrance. I don’t own Obrigado; but while checking the swatches online, I find it to be more on the red side – no pink tint as you said. Grazie and Obrigado won’t be much similar I guess. Give a try! 🙂 I hope you will love Grazie! If you are still confused, go for another shade like Merci. It is more pinker than Grazie! What say?
