Today we’re continuing my series reviewing all of the NYX lip products. If you missed my first post, I reviewed all of the traditional lipsticks that NYX has released. In this post, we’re going to turn our sights to the NYX Liquid Lipsticks. I’m hopeful this series will help you wade through all the the formulas that NYX has released. If you’re anything like me, that wall of NYX at Ulta can be a little overwhelming. My final post will be for NYX Glosses and that’s coming soon!
This blog is a companion to my YouTube Best & Worst of All NYX Lipsticks (Part 2: Liquid Lipsticks). So if you’re interested in live swatches and more detailed information, check out the video below.
