My Experience with NYX Super Cliquey Matte Lipstick Obvs:
The packaging of this lipstick is pretty unique but sort of unnecessary too. Oindrila has explained the packaging very well in her review of the shade “Chain Reaction;” I totally agree with her. The packaging, though cute, doesn’t do anything. You cannot retract the product and you cannot figure out how much is left, plus the quantity provided is too little. The only respite is that this is a color-coded packaging and super lightweight too. I feel NYX has tried to mimic the ‘By Terry Rouge Expert Click Stick‘ for the packaging and the finish too seems quite similar.
“Obvs” has been described as a “muted plum” by the brand and it is pretty much true. This is a very wearable and flattering shade of plum. It is a nice n*de-mauve shade and I love wearing it. It looks very pretty on the lips. It does not brighten up my complexion but I can wear it without any base makeup to look a little polished. I am totally in love with the shade and reach out for it when I don’t want to wear a bold lip color.
This lipstick is pretty pigmented and the color can be built up with a couple of swipes. It can hide lip pigmentation completely with just 2 swipes. I am happy with its pigmentation. It adds just the right amount of pigment with each swipe on the lips.
The texture is very soft and lightweight texture. It does not feel heavy on the lips unless you start layering it excessively. Since the formula is pretty soft, the lipstick just glides on the lips – without any tugging. As I mentioned earlier, too much layering makes the lipstick look patchy on the lips and some product crumbles off too.
The lipstick sets to a soft matte finish. It tends to transfer in the initial 10 minutes and then it sets in place and doesn’t move much. Since this is a pretty subtle shade it does not take much time to set and it does not transfer like crazy.
The formula isn’t very moisturising. I always apply a lip balm before my lipsticks. This one stays pretty comfortable and non-cakey initially, but reapplication and touch-ups throughout the day definitely dry out the lips. If I apply this lipstick at noon and keep re-touching after meals or drinks, my lips tend to become dry and feel parched by evening.
This lipstick lasts over 7 hours if I don’t eat or drink anything, but that’s never the case. I eat or at least drink something every couple of hours, so this lipstick does not last more than 4-5 hours on me, and it tends to disappear if I have something oily. So, the staying power varies.
This is not the best matte lipstick range but a good one to try. Everyone can try at least one shade from this range. Keep in mind, the packaging is not very practical and the product isn’t a boon for super dry lips.
