What's The Difference Between NYX Butter Gloss and NYX Intense Butter Gloss?

Press Samples

Sunday Mimosa, Sugar Plum, Cherry Custard, Summer Fruit

NYX is one of those companies that always has something new coming out. I swear to god every time I take my weekly trip to ULTA there's another damn lip product from them and I honestly can't keep track. Back in the day, when the Butter Glosses came out, they were revolutionary! A pigmented gloss that felt good on the lips at an accessible drugstore price? Sign me up! Somewhere along the way, NYX introduced the Intense Butter Glosses. Personally, I don't see the need to mess with a good thing, but in this day and age if you're not constantly updating than you're outdated. So... what's the difference between these two items? Why did NYX choose to keep the old formula even though there's a new and (possibly) improved one? And which of the two do I prefer?

NYX "Pink Lust" Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Review + Swatch

Honestly, I don't get NYX. They're always coming out with new products, which I normally wouldn't mind, except they put out multiple products that are so similar to one another and it makes me hella confused. NYX started with liquid matte lip products years back with their Soft Matte Lip Creams, but new they have Lip Lingerie, Whipped Lip & Cheek Soufflé, and the Liquid Suede things. Is it really necessary to saturate your own line? Where does the madness end!?

NYX Be Gone! Lip Color Remover Review

This product is a PR sample given to me for consideration. I posted this review because I wanted to, not because I had to and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

With long wearing lip products and liquid lipstick becoming increasingly popular, there's been a need for a gentle and effective removal method. If you're a liquid lipstick lover or do lip swatch videos, you may want to pick this up and make your life a little easier and less painful. This product is supposed to thoroughly condition and pamper the lips while effectively wiping away long-lasting lip color, and it does just that.

Product Review: NYX Bronze Smokey Look Kit

After holding off for about 2 years, I finally bit the bullet and purchased the NYX Bronze Smokey Look Kit when NYX was on Hautelook a few weeks ago. It's no secret that I'm a rabid neutral fanatic, so you'd think that I would love the living snot out of this palette.

WRONG! There are actually very few things that I like about it, which really bums me out because this thing has so much potential to be a girl-on-the-go's best friend. "What is wrong with it?" you may ask... well, keep reading and you'll find out.

NYX Eyeshadow Trio Comparison

NYX recently added a ton of new products to their line in what I assume is an effort to replace older packaging and products. So far the only new item that I've been able to get my hands on is an eyeshadow trio form the new Love in Rio eyeshadow trio line. The reason that I decided to pick this up over the other new and exciting products is because I currently own a very fallout prone Triple Shadows for Sexy Babe's Eyes Only trio (gee, what a mouthful) and I wanted to see if the new trio was an improvement on the old formula.
