My Experience with NYX Full Throttle Lipstick Loaded:

Let’s begin with the packaging of this baby. The lipstick comes in a sleek glossy black plastic tube with a cap color-coded at the top that helps to easily spot the shade. The cap of the lipstick tube shuts very securely with a click sound and ensures that the lipstick packaging is purse-friendly. The range name is printed in white on the tube along with other necessary product related information. The lipstick has a normal twist up mechanism, which works pretty smoothly.

The shape of the lipstick bullet is quite different from usual lipsticks. The bullet is pentagon shaped and has different edges. Overall, I did not find any con about the packaging except that the bullet of one of these lipsticks got detached from the base.

The shade “Loaded” is a cool toned berry plum kind of shade. This shade is suitable for all skin tones and it would flatter medium to deep skin tones amazingly well. The color is bold and vibrant. It looks lovely on the lips and instantly enhances the entire makeup look. Such shades look lovely in winters. The lipstick does not contain any sheen or shimmers. It sets to a soft velvety matte finish initially and later on it looks perfect matte on the lips. The formula is amazingly pigmented. One swipe gives opaque coverage and covers the pigmentation of the lips. I apply two coats to get perfect and even color on the lips. The color spreads evenly on the lips and never gets patchy. It does not give any streaky finish.

There is no significant smell in this lipstick, which is a pro for people who do not appreciate fragrant makeup much. The edgy bullet is pretty useless and since the formulation is too soft and creamy, it slips while applying and does not give sharp lining to the lips. So, I prefer applying these with a brush rather than directly from the bullet.

The texture of the lipstick is incredible. I found its texture similar to Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Crayons. It is so soft and smooth. It glides effortlessly on the lips like a lip cream and once it comes in contact with the lips, it sets pretty quickly to an ultra matte finish within seconds. It goes pretty smoothly on the lips without causing any dragging of the lips. Normally, matte lipsticks have the tendency to cling to the dry patches of the lips, but not in the case of this one. It does not highlight dry patches, but still it is always advised to prep the lips well to get perfect finish. The formula is so lightweight and feels super comfortable on the lips. The lipstick is smudge proof and transfers a very bit. It survives normal sipping and light snacks, but it fades away from the center after a heavy meal. The lipstick is very moisturizing and it has a non-drying formula. It keeps my lips hydrated all the time. It does not settle into the fine lines of the lips.

The lipstick lasts for approximately 6-7 hours on my lips with a little fading. It leaves a stain behind, which can be taken off easily with a good makeup remover. This lipstick gets removed well with an oil-based remover, since it sticks to the lips like a waterproof lipstick.
