Review: NYX Pumpkin Pie Round Lipstick

Dear lovelies,

Today's post will be my first review about lipstick. Honestly I don't wear lipstick on my daily basis. But if I do, I tend to pick more nude and natural shades. Therefore, today I will share one of my nude lipstick from NYX. Yes, NYX again!! Hahaha.. because as you know, I just can't get enough of NYX products ^^

It is NYX Round Lipstick- Pumpkin Pie (LSS630). I have actually picked up other shades too and generally impress with NYX's Round Lipsticks due to price, color selections, and color payoff. I have also noticed that Pumpkin Pie has particularly snatched everyone's heart for nude choices. So, I was so happy when I finally picked it up.

Packaging

It comes in a small and convenient black tube with the shade name is written on top of the cap. The base of the lipstick shows the color/shade you get.  This is really effective because you don't have to open the cap to see the actual shade.

Color, Texture and Pigmentation

Pumpkin Pie is a peachy nude color. It has semi matte finish which looks natural and wearable for anytime. The pigmentation is rather light with one swipe, and you really had to layer it on to build up the color. But I'm totally like it because I don't need to worry if the color will look tacky on my lips. The texture is creamy and smooth but slightly dry and doesn't moisturize enough. I must apply lip balm before put this lipstick on to avoid dry lips with crack.  The wear time was also quite good - two (2) to three (3) hours depending on how much you are eating/drinking/talking during that time.

Price

Considering the price and the color selection, I couldn't resist to pick some shades from them. It retails around IDR 47,000 or USD 4.00.

Overall thoughts

Before I continue, a little heads up for you that actually each of NYX Round Lipstick has slightly different texture. I bought other two shades and they are not as dry as Pumpkin Pie. I have no idea if in this case I unluckily got the bad quality one. Another concern is that most of NYX Round Lipstick tend to be easy to melt due to the heat. If it happened to get your lipstick start to melt/break, put it immediately in the refrigerator for few minutes to avoid further breaks. 

Other than that, Pumpkin Pie shade is really beautiful and natural. The application is very smooth, creamy, and buildable. Not forget to mention, that the price is not expensive at all. 

Lastly, I'd recommend using this particular lipstick on top of lip balm and maybe clear lip gloss to seal it and make it work a lot better. And after all, I would still buy this again just for the price and colour.

Let me know which shades of NYX Round Lipsticks that you adore the most??!!

Amour,
