NYX Mood Lip Gloss Review, Photos, and Swatches

NYX Mood Lip Gloss ($6) Set the mood with any of our Mood Lip Glosses available in 4 shades! Each lip gloss transforms into a different beautiful hue based on the person’s mood. The moisturizing formula applies clear and shiny, then develops into a rosy tint that is perfect alone or over a lipstick!

My Thoughts:

NYX’s Mood Lip Glosses are great for everyday use. They are the type of glosses that change color based on you. So the same shade you use may look different on someone else. The glosses go on clear and then change color gradually a few seconds later. The good thing about the glosses is that they are not thick and sticky. Yay! However, just like your typical lip glosses, the NYX Mood Lip Glosses aren’t super long lasting. I mean what lip gloss is right? The Mood Lip Glosses don’t feel heavy, and they are pretty moisturizing. My favorite thing about the glosses? I love that when the color disappears, it leaves back a slight stain on your lips. You don’t have to worry reapplying right away. It’s a definite repurchase for me.

NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumper Review, Photos, and Swatches

NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumper ($6) Boost your lips to its fullest shape and size with our Pump it Up Lip Plumper. Our Pump it Up Lip Plumpers come in 5 assorted colors and each shade acknowledges well known sensual celebrity lips such as Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson, along with plenty other desirable famous vixens. With one swipe of the Pump it Up Lip Pumper, your lips begin to tingle and the transformation from thin to full will occur instantly!

My Thoughts:

NYX’s Pump It Up Lip Plumper is a lip plumping lip gloss. One swipe of the lip gloss, and it’s hello Angelina Jolie lips! You immediately feel a tingling sensation upon application. The tingling doesn’t bother me. However, I have a feeling if you’re sensitive to these types of products, it’ll feel more like a burning sensation. The cinnamon oil is what causes the tingling and gives a cinnamon flavor to the glosses. I found the glosses to look better when layered over a lip color than if you were to wear it alone. The glosses can be either too sheer or frosty if worn alone. They also have shimmer; some more than others. Out of the 3 NYX Pump It Up Lip Plumpers I tried (Jessica, Lindsay, and Lisa), Jessica was my favorite. Jessica gave a nude lip color with a bit of shimmer. Lindsay wasn’t a favorite of mine because it was too frosty for my taste. Also, it was too much a cool-tone for me. Lisa was like a clear gloss with shimmer. Overall, I really liked NYX’s Pump It Up Lip Plumpers. The shades are all very pretty, and the plumping effect wasn’t bothersome.
