okay, this time i'm going to review my most favorite drugstore brand, NYX!! Because the price at the NYX store here in Indonesia just too pricey for me, i bought them through an online shop called Toko Makeup. They sell it in much lower price than the store, just like in the nyx web. If you're Indonesian and you want buy some new make up collection, go check them!!
here it is!! My smlc collection!!
L-R : London, Zurich, Cannes, Antwerp, San Paulo.
As a carefree girl since high school, i feel proud of myself for having this lip creams. you know how hard it is to make yourself do that girly-thingy if you're a carefree girl. And so .. yeah, here it is. The well-known NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London, Zurich, Cannes, Antwerp, and San Paulo.
here's the swatch on my hand
When you first open the cap, it smells like heaven. something like cupcake ... or vanilla? something sweet and delicious like that (you definitely must try smelling it!). The colours you see from the bottle is the colour that you get from inside the bottle. The pigmentation is really good! because when i wipe it from my hand, it left some colors on my hand.
pardon my totally bare face. And for the pimples, and for the eye-bag. like i said, totally. no. make. up.
Sorry for all the photos here for not putting any make up on (besides the swatches, of course) because i prefer taking photos without any of it, i just simply like bare face the most <3 And i didn't filter all the photos so you can see the true colour of the lip cream on my skin tone.
London
London is a mid-tone beige. And it's a nude colour. i love it for being nude. and i love nude for being barely there. the pigmentation is nice, and it glides smoothly on skin. actually i like this colour because it nude, but it's too pale on my skin for daily use. i think it'll be nice with smokey eye shadow or something.
Zurich
Zurich is a matte muted rose. it has pinkish tone on it. it's a light colour but cover my lips nicely, which means good pigmentation. i love it for (also) being barely there. i think this one is suitable for light make up, like spring make up or something.
Cannes
Cannes is a Matte muted mauve. it gave the "my lips but better" feeling when i first applied it on my skin. so it become my daily lipcream because it looks barely there.
Antwerp
Antwerp is a Mid-tone yellow-toned pink. it has coral-ish colour, and this colour is the best seller in every shop i think. the pigmentation is good and it made my face looks healthier. but i rarely use it as a daily lipcream, beacuse i think it's too bright for my daily use. but i always wear it to a party, because it's bright but just enough to make my face 'ready' with a slight eye and cheek make up.
San Paulo
San Paulo is a plummy pink. it's the brightest colour of all lip cream i have. i usually don't use bright colour like this anywhere. but well, i must try this sometimes because ... well, i bought this right? and that's the purpose of this thing -- to be worn on the lips, and make your face prettier!! but ... yeah, maybe i have to collect my confidence to wear a lip cream as bright as this one.
Every lip cream's staying power are great!! i usually wear it on 6 am in the morning, and i can still see it on lunch. but when i eat, it starts fading, but still there. but not as clear as before. well, it still works for me though.
so, the conclusion of this nyx smlc review is :
+ has a great smell
+ glides nicely on the skin
+ has many variation of colours
+ cheap!
+ great staying power
+ matte finish
- .... i can't find any
so will i consider to recommend and repurchase this? Definitely yes!!go check them if you haven't guys!

Cannes look soo soo pretty on you! I'm from Thailand and I just ordered the nyx soft matte lip cream in the color Cannes and Copenhagen (I own Adis baba) from Amazon! I can't wait to try them out (especially Cannes). Thanks for the review, it's difficult to find someone with similar skin shade with actual lip swatches.

Glad it could help you! Yeah, i also find it difficult to find other review with similar skin tone to mine, that's why i always choose neutral colour for beauty products. Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog and enjoy your Cannes and Copenhagen!
