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 closing down the cap. The number is written at the bottom of the bullet and the name is mentioned on the body of the lipstick.  It’s not so travel friendly.

My Experience with NYX High Voltage Rockstar Lipstick:

“Rockstar” is truly a fresh and vibrant red shade which tends to lean over being more orange. I can say it is the best combination of red and orange. For people who do not want to try bright orange or bright red shades, and want to play safe, should give “Rockstar” a try.

This color brings out the freshness and is very apt for day use. Just like the other lipsticks from this range, the texture is super buttery. I would advise to be careful during application as the bullet looks very soft and can break easily. 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 lips that haven’t been exfoliated well.

There are no shimmers in this shade. Also, it is not very glossy, but the finish is neither overly matte nor too glossy. It has this perfect balance between matte and glossy. This shade is not very moisturizing but at the same time not too drying either.

I generally use lip balm, but someone who does not have dry lips would not need a lip balm.

The pigmentation is super duper awesome and truly live up to the name “high voltage.” One swipe and you get the desired color, there’s not much difference in single and multiple applications. Also, layering feels a bit heavy and sticky. The shade gives a good opaque coverage to the lips and will cover all pigmentation.

The staying power is around 5-6 hours after which it starts fading away, but leaves a pretty orange 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.
