Top 5 lipstick formulas

I love love love lipstick! I could wear it every day, every single minute! I love my dark lipsticks, but also my nudes! So here, my top 5 lipstick formulas, in alphabetical order!

I’m sorry that I didn’t choose 5 different brands, I chose only 2 brands: Essence and Nyx. I really like the Essence Matt Matt Matt lipsticks and I just really love all the Nyx lipsticks I own. Both Essence and Nyx are so good and so affordable!
1. Essence Matt Matt Matt lipstick
The Essence lipsticks are like the Catrice lipsticks but with a more matt finish. They’re also not drying but I have one blue Matt Matt Matt (Vibrant Shock) lipstick that isn’t that good. But all the other colours are beautiful! Click here to check out these lipsticks.
I own the shades:
  • 02 Perfect Match
  • 03 Wow Effect
  • 07 Purple Power
  • 08 It’s A Statement
  • 09 Rockin’ Princess
  • 11 Rave It Up!
  • 13 Out of the Box 
  • 14 Adorable Matt!
2. Nyx Lip Lingerie

The Nyx Lip Lingeries are liquid lipsticks that are so beautiful! They dry completely matt and for me they aren’t drying. I’ve read some reviews that people don’t like them because they’re really dry, but for me they are perfect! Click here to check out these lipsticks.
I own the shades:
  • 01 Honeymoon
  • 17 Seduction
  • 20 French Maid 
3. Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick
The Nyx Liquid Suede Creams are really beautiful and really soft. They have a cream to matt finish, and they’re really easy to work with. Nyx came out with a lot of colourful shades in the Liquid Suede range. Click here to check out these lipsticks.
I own the shades:
  • 12 Vintage 
  • 21 Brooklyn Thorn
  • 24 Alien 
4. Nyx Liquid Suede Metallic Matte
I only have one shade of the Nyx Liquid Suede Metallic Mattes, but I  just know that it’s one of my favourite lipsticks. When I first tried this lipstick, I wasn’t sure whether it was going to be a cream finish or a matt finish. I know the name says ‘matte’ but I have tried ‘matt’ lipsticks that weren’t fully matt. But the Nyx Liquid Suede Metallic Mattes have a matt finish and they are so pretty! I’m definitely buying more of these lipsticks! Click here to check out these lipsticks.
  • 39 Modern Maven

The Nyx Matte Lipsticks are like the Essence Matt Matt Matt lipsticks. Normal lipsticks with a matt finish. They’re really beautiful and Nyx has a lot of different colours in this range. Click here to check out these lipsticks.
I own the shades:
  • 04 Pale Pink

Shirley Cuypers

Welcome to Shirley Cuypers, your go-to blog for book reviews with a sprinkle of makeup looks, bullet journal inspiration and more. I’m Shirley, a Belgian book blogger who loves to talk about my passion for reading and being creative. On my blog, you will find honest book reviews and reading recommendations, but also creative blog posts such as inspiration for your bullet journal and makeup looks, and lifestyle blog posts like product reviews and tips. Reading has always been my escape. From an early age, you could find me with my nose buried in books. I started reading in Dutch, my native language, but then I discovered the English section in my library and fell in love with English books. On my book blog you can find book reviews and book hauls where I share what I’m currently reading, what I loved and which books I recommend picking up. Whether you enjoy fantasy, romance or young adult, you will find lots of different titles on my blog. My goal is to help other book loves find their next favourite read! Besides books, I occasionally write about makeup, bullet journaling, and other topics. I really enjoy being creative, and I express this by playing with makeup or keeping a bullet journal. You can find several makeup tutorials and bullet journal spreads where I share my creativity with you. These creative outlets balance my reading life, and add a bit of colour to it.
