Packaging: The lipstick bullet comes in a sleek plastic tube wrapped in a plastic sheet. The lower body is black color and the upper body is in the color of the shade it represents. The cap is of transparent plastic which I think could have been of better quality. One has to be careful while handling these lipsticks as I believe the cap won’t survive any fall. Also the lipstick bullet comes a bit above the brim and so one has to be careful while opening and shutting the cap. The number is written at the bottom of the bullet and the name is mentioned on the body of the lipstick. Not so travel friendly.

My Experience with NYX High Voltage Lipstick Rags to Riches:

I love the names in this range.They have some really good colors in this range. Rags to Riches is basically a pinkish coral shade.A very apt shade for fresh sunny days. I love the way it brightens up the face. The texture of the lipstick is super buttery and it is very evident from the bullet itself. It looks buttery in the bullet also.I would advise to be careful while application as the bullet looks very soft. It glides on the lips with no efforts at all. There is absolutely no tugging or pulling. Because these lipsticks are overly creamy they tend to crumble on unexfoliated lips.

There are no shimmers in this shade. Also it is not very glossy. But the finishing here is neither overly matte nor too glossy. It has this perfect balance in between being matte and glossy. This shade is not very moisturizing but at the same time not too drying either. I generally use lip balm always but someone who does not have dry lips would not need a lip balm.

The pigmentation is very good and truly they are high voltage ones. One swipe and you get the desired color. Multiple applications enhance the color further. But I feel too much layering feels a bit heavy and sticky. The shade gives a good opaque coverage to the lips. The staying power is around 5-6 hours after which it starts fading away but leaves a pinkish tint to the lips. It does transfer to cutlery and would need re application after meal. These are not completely waterproof but would require a makeup remover to get off completely.
