NYX Round Lipstick in Electra
Hey friends,
I am back with another lippie review!! ๐ and its red!! I have always had fascination for red lips, I still have. I collect different reds and look for occasions to wear them, hehe, red lips look so feminine, yet bold and powerful, vintage and classic and its fashionโs favourite lip colour. I love a good old red mouth :-* ๐ and I think everyone should have at least one red lippie in their vanity box : -).
I had a couple of warm-toned reds, but still didnโt have a cool-toned one and wanted to see how cool tone red would look on me, would it be better than warm reds or not?
So, in a quest for hunting for cool-toned red, I stumbled upon NYX Electra on IMBB sale and instantly grabbed it.
Price:
Umm, it varies. I think my total cost with shipping came around to Rs. 250 to 275, I think. Otherwise, in india, it retails at around 400 rupees and online purchasing will cost 4$ . for 4 gm.
What the Company Claims:
NYX Round Lipstick is smooth and moisturising with every application! This is a velvet-textured lip cream that covers the lips with rich color that smoothes and moistures lips with each application. NYX Round Lipstick is NYXโs best selling lipstick.
My Experience with NYX Round Lipstick โElectra:โ
NYX lipsticks need no introduction, he he. I really like how the packaging looks. I just lurrve the jet black casing with the transparent bottom which shows the true colour of the lipstick inside and it closes with a satisfying click and it smells soapy.:stars:
The pigmentation is awesome! Just one swipe and the true colour is out there, but being red and a slightly deeper shade; it bleeds and it bleeds like its nobody business! It smears, it smudges, pheww because of which I donโt dare wear this colour outside my house. I have worn it only once, for a very formal fine dining, but not without apprehensions. I was constantly checking if it has smeared here or there. Because I had left my hair open and yes, one strand, just one strand of hair touching the lips can smear this lippie:haanji:
Although, I had worn a lipliner underneath, it didn’t last for more than one hour and yes, after eating some food, your lips look au naturel ๐ :stars: :stars: with no trace of this colour anywhere.
It is a gorgeous red, completely cool toned. I liked how it looked on me. I did numerous photosessions wearing this red lippie at home :puppy: :puppy:, but now, its time to move on and find a cool red โ albeit ; with lasting power, which I can actually utilise outside the four walls of my home :hihi:
Pros:
*Its a true cool red and a gorgeous one at that!
*Affordable, you can test/experiment how some colours look on you by using NYX lipsticks and can move on to other more expensive/better brands to buy that kind of shade.
*Extremely pigmented.
*Doesnโt dry my lips.
*Transparent bottom, easy to locate the shade.
Cons:
*It bleeds, smears, smudges, pheww!
*It has a glossy finish, although whether it should be matte or glossy is a personal preference, but I would rather have a matte red lipstick, so that I can wear it on its own when I want it to look slightly understated or just apply a clear gloss over it to make it look glossy whenever I feel like it.
*Soapy smell.
*Poor staying power even with a base.
*Easily transfers on teeth ๏
*Should be stored under right temperature conditions or the lipstick melts off in the case.
Would I Repurchase?
No.
Would I Recommend it to Others:
Nope, there are tons of reds out there and the red quest usually goes on ๐

kyunn neha…!!! soo many lippies hai you k paas…. usmein ek blood red bhi sahi ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ :-*
i ll never hav d confidence of wearing dis color. . . pretty color though. . . .
try wearing this at home though…. ghar pe lagate lagate slowly ull start feeling ..ohh what the heck..!! lemme wear it out!! :-* :-*
staying power is problem with NYX lippies ๐ u shd try blotting it with tissue and reapply , it will last little longer
Nice review !! love the last pic
thankyou deeptima… :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:
ya the staying power of nyx lippies is bad.. but this one is worse.. probably because its a deeper shade and such colours tend to bleed more..
ill try the tissue trick and see :yes: :yes: :thanks: :thanks: O:) O:)
I love that last lip photo! I’ve never dared to try a cool toned red, since I am warm toned. Which one are you? This would look so good for a retro look with crimped hair and a black or white outfit.
pata nahi shai.. i still dont know if im cool toned or warm… generaly kabhi both tones suit me .. kabhi both give problems.. so i have settled onto the idea that im a neutral :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
yep its amazing for retro and pinup looks…
i wear it as a pinup ๐ ๐ ๐
Neha poutmati No2… heheheheh
but great shade… would look awesome for evening parties ๐
beee hahaha scahi.. iv also always loved pouting!! :puppy: :puppy: :puppy:
ya this kinda shade is good for pinup looks… just thi lippie.. subtle eyeshadow. and winged liner.. mast dikhta hai :pompom: :pompom: :pompom:
it’s a beautiful red!! but i’ll be kinda scared to wear it outside too…(i always get too concious)
ya hai toh achha.. but u can alway start from trying subtle red.. slowly slowly build confidence and ull b surprised how u will..wanna wear such true red shades … :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin:
atleast mere saath toh aia hi hua :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:
i wish i could carry those red ๐ฅ
OMG super gorgeous pout nehaa!! I have recently started wearing red outside but that’s not like the super duper red, it’s a little toned down. I wish i could pull off such ahot sexy red. It’s HOTTTTTTT!! :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:
hihi thankoo rati…. :shying: :shying: :shying: :shying: :shy:
me too i still wear toned down reds only ..
but i wear full on reds only to certain places and i know that ill be comfortable wearing it in certain friends’ company… red lipstick is soo hard to wear it “just” anywhere” :struggle: :struggle: :struggle:
umm you dnt wear a red lip pencil underneath coz most reds are kinda high maintenance. they DO need a lip pencil.
ya i do wear a lip pencil… even under this i wore one… but phir bhi yeh wali nyx smudge hoti hi hai rati :(( :(( :(( :((
I guess all NYX lip products have a soapy smell that’s the reason I never end up using them. i do like the textures of the round lipsticks though. ๐
OMG…so much of red….very very hot neha s….its such an amazing shade…. :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
haha ya its hot… but not a nice one to buy.. :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali:
i will hopefully review an “almost dupe” soon. u shud try that!
thankyou dimpi.. and u can call me neha… no need to say neha s. ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ :puchhi: :puchhi:
