Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick - Candela Babe (Warm Rose Nude)

Where to start this? A lot to pack in! Generally speaking, because we can't post a separate review for each color that we've tried, NYX XXL Matte is fan-freaking-tastic!! Especially for the price. Is it perfect? Not 100%, but it's darn close. IMHO, the only things that could be improved are the transfer factor (more on that in a minute) and the amount of colors they have. Meaning, they don't have nearly enough! 🤨😁 To clarify what I meant about improving the longevity, immediately I must say this product is actually quite excellent at loving me for a long time! Ha, ha! In the drugstore, it's become tied for my #1 spot. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink is the almost-identical twin to NYX XXL, but it rates much lower on the performance scale. Maybelline has a ton of colors! The two brands even smell the same. I wish the experience had been the opposite, believe me. Yet, if I could only buy one of the two, without question, it would be NYX! When the colors are fairly equal, (like NYX's Stamina vs. Maybelline's Pioneer or NYX's Deep Mesh vs. Maybelline's Composer, for two examples) there isn't hesitation which to reach for because I know NYX isn't going to embarrass me later in the day. In fact, Stamina lasted overnight! It had faded a little bit in the center of both lips when I got out of bed the next morning, but it was still decidedly visible. And it was only visible on my face, not on the pillowcase! 😲 About the formula, NYX XXL is super pigmented, super creamy, smells utterly delicious (like angel food cupcakes) and has a large, terry-like doe foot applicator. It applies like a dream! The applicator is particularly excellent, makes it very easy to add shape correction, enhancement, whatever effect you might want. Liner is mostly rendered useless unless you have a special need or a specific look you're trying to achieve. I would suggest exfoliating lips prior to use, and also making sure they are hydrated, but not greasy on or around their surface. Afterwards, I find it best to keep my lips open and separated until they fully dry, maybe two or three minutes. Then it's all-day gorgeous! 🪞💄 Longevity has always been my #1 criteria. To provide my personal scale of context, Revlon Limitless Matte has overtaken their Overtime Lip Color (the original) to now tie with NYX XXL for my #1 drugstore spot. Revlon changed their Overtime formula somewhere along the way and it isn't quite as ironclad as it was before. The colors are a little thinner now and it just doesn't have the same "pow-wow." As in, "Pow!" that color looks rich and vivid, or "Wow!" look how it lasts! NYX still needs (a tiny bit of) improvement to be truly100% transfer proof like Overtime *used* to be, but it's damn close, and better than plenty of department store brands that cost 3x as much! Lastly, a note on colors, specifically the reds, because I haven't found the depictions to be totally accurate. Color is very subjective, I know, so please take my interpretations for whatever they may (or may not!) be worth. I would describe Stamina as medium depth, neutral-cool red; not quite as intensely blue as TLB's Bawse Lady, but definitely not warm. Sizzlin' is the same shade only deeper/darker, and Untamable is the neutral-warm answer to Stamina. Not orangey, just not cool-toned. All of these shades are handy depending upon what you're trying to match, and they're all beautiful! 😍

I don’t wear lipstick often but this one has changed that! I have three colors. I most recently got Undress’d and Flaunt It when looking for a nude/every day color. I love how it feels, I love how it looks, and it stays on even through dinner. It almost acts a little like a lip stain with how well it stays. It applies really nicely too. I don’t always need a liner. This is a nice, matte lipstick. I also have Push’d Up which is an excellent color for going out. Images show swatches of different shades and different lighting.

So pretty! I usually use a hint of it on top of another color. Looks so pretty. It lasts all day long. Doesn't smudge. Matte. Leaping bunny certified, cruelty free brand. A great price. Exactly what I wanted!

I like this liquid lipstick pretty much! It looks good and stays on for several hours! It has a matte finish but in the pic I added gloss over top of it. It’s a super good value for the money too! It’s somewhat moisturizing I guess I would say, it doesn’t dry your lips out terribly like some liquid lippies on the market. I am pleased with the color I bought too, it’s a nice kind of chocolate brown! Overall, it’s a good buy! I really like Nyx makeup in general!

This NYX matte liquid lipstick is exactly what I was looking for. Its smooth application does not feel dry or sticky and lasts all day. A little goes a long way and less applications means a lasting product making it well worth the price. The shade is a lovely brick red which is bright but not overwhelming on my olive skin tone. The only thing negative I'd have to say about this product is that it's difficult to remove; but is that even an issue if you want a color to last you the whole party and be able to kiss without transfer?

LOVE THE COLOR and how it stays on! It does become a matte lip stain almost so I just put a bit of gloss over it. I debated over this color, “Flaunt It” or Cannes, and super happy I chose this one, stays on forever. GORG!

Definitivamente es mi marca favorita de labiales, no me resecan las labios , no deja plastas de pintura , no se cae a pedazos el color, duran muchísimo. Tengo ya casi todos los colores

Topissime acheter foncer!!! Il est extra pas de transfert et super doux ne desseche pas les lèvres

Saw this i. Tiktok but was more expensive so checked on here and got for much cheaper. It's a lovely colour of pink and lasts a while.

Me encantó el color, lo volveré a comprar Dura mucho y no se siente incómodo como otros labiales mate

Ich würde auch 10 Sterne vergeben! Der mit Abstand beste Liquid Lipstick, der wirklich wirklich wirklich ohne schmieren hält (nachdem man ihn in Ruhe hat trocknen lassen!). Ich brauche einen Lebensvorrat davon!
