The Round lipsticks are probably the most well known of the NYX brand, but I definitely prefer the Black Label lipsticks - both provide excellent coverage and color, but the BLL offers higher quality, more product, and most importantly (to me at least) - Moisture! ♥
The Black label lipsticks come prepackaged in thin paper boxes - the lipstick itself is housed in a shiny square plastic tube.

The lipstick feels very slippery and smooth and glides on the lips with ease - the lipstick tastes like grapes which I found rather pleasant.
*Nude*
An opaque nude that provides excellent coverage - this particular nude leans a tiny bit towards the pink side
***
*India*
An orange-y opaque nude
*Girly Pink*
A shimmery baby pink
*Diva*
Easily my favorite of the bunch, and definitely the most wearable. A very pretty mauvey-pink
The downside of the packaging is the base of lipstick is not labeled - if you misplace the cap, there's no way of identifying the lipstick by name!
I actually love these lipsticks more than MAC since they don't dry me out and they feel oh-so good on the lips! They offer a large array of colors in varying finishes and are under $10. (If you purchase during a Cherry Culture sale, they should be around $4.80 USD a pop!)
Pros
♥ Price - nab em' when they go on sale!
♥ Great Quality
♥ Moisturizing
♥ Mild and pleasant taste
♥ Wide variety of colors and finishes
♥ Most colors have excellent coverage (one swipe!)
♥ Sturdy packaging
♥ No animal testing
Cons
X Limited availability
X Can't really think of anything else
I don't understand why these aren't more wildly popular! I can't rave enough!
Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ (5/5)
FYI, the CherryCulture Sale is 20% off the entire site with code VDS20
**Sale ends tomorrow, Feb 1st!**

Today was another 'late' day at work. I'm getting home an hour+ later than normal and it's throwing me off! To keep my energy (and spirts up) I need to continue my dedication to power-walking with my favorite Liz!

I want that Diva shade! :D thank you for the swatches! i haven't tried any nyx lipsticks but i'm definitely sold into finding and trying the black label ones first since you said that it's moisturizing :)

Girly Pink looks so good. I love that color. Great review.
Thanks so much : D I actually got the purse on YesStyle.
I was able to try the black label lipstick too and I agree with you, its freaking moisturizing <3 I love the India shade!!
I agree Diva looks the prettiest of the bunch! and the swatches look super moisturizing indeed, cant wait to try these once i get my hands on them.
@Melanie - Thank you hun! I love sharing whatever I can find ^_^
@Rina - I love NYX products and I bet LA has actual shops stocked to the ceiling with them! Which is your favorite color?
@Sugarsugar - Oooh let me know which ones you decide to try, I'm always on the lookout for new exciting colors to try!
@Penelope, Donna, Dyna - Thanks ladies! :)
@NicNic - is NYX popular in Japan? I think I saw a few magazine adds for it awhile back ~ if you ever want to try any colors, let me know and I can send you a few :) Oh, and I have been dying to buy something from Apopofkawaii for awhile, your site is AWESOME and I love supporting my fellow bloggers ;)
@Tata and 나니 - Thanks ladies, let me know if you decide to give some colors a try! :)

Hi Irene! thanks for sharing your monthly favourite products in your comment :) i love how India and Girly Pink looks, all 4 shades look very pleasant I must say!
Hit me up when you visit HK sometime in the future ^_^ and I always offer custom-purchase for nearly every brand for bloggers...lol
hair mask = basically like a conditioner? You apply it after washing your hair with shampoo, leave it on for 5 minutes then wash =) that stuff is amazing!
Love makeup posts!

thanks for dropping by and following (L)
beautiful swatches! i love the diva colour too! they all look so moisturizing. you can see the shine that it gives ^^
The baby pink shade is SOOOO pretty!! Do you wear these on a daily basis?!! How would you compare them w/the Round lipsticks? :)
Irene! I read this on my phone so long ago and kept the page open because I have a burning question for you. I finally remember today while on my computer to come ask : ) I got some NYX lipsticks from a kind blogger, however none of the colors are working for me! They come out really frosty looking on my lips and you can definitely tell my natural lip color is many shades different than the lipsticks.
I have India like in your photos, and it does not look like that on my lips (very frosty on me). Did you put anything on your lips as a base before applying? I'd love to have it come out like in your photos! Thanks for the review of the other colors too...they all look very creamy and pretty on you.
PS - love the new banner! Even though it's not "new" anymore...but I meant to say that a while back : )
