Here's the lovely swatch. Berry Tea is described as a berry pink and I love how it seems to match the natural flush of my skin.

In Action

Ahem... I'm wearing this product on my lips and cheeks in this photo. There's just subtle hint of the product on my cheeks because I wanted to mimic my skin's natural flush but the color can be layered for a more intensified look.

My Take

Like I said earlier, this isn't the first time that I have tried a NYX lip product. I have reviewed the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream  in Stockholm way back. That being said, this Whipped Lip and Cheek Souffle reminds me very much of the  former, albeit this one is really more airy and whipped in formula. Even the scent is very similar to the former. It's lightweight and applies really smoothly.

What I love to do is just put about 3  dots on one cheek using the pointed part of the applicator and use my fingers to blend it out. I do my cheeks one at a time because the dots on the other side could dry up ahead and I could end up with an uneven color.

For the lips, I prefer to outline it first using the pointed tip of the applicator and then I also just use my fingers to create a blotted-out look. I love how this product feels cushion-y soft on the lips. 

The hugest cons about this product is probably it's staying power. On the cheeks, it's barely noticeable when I hit the two hour mark. When worn on the lips, it easily fades too, especially if you have a meal. It also easily transfers.

This product is something that a younger sister would enjoy using, especially if they are just starting out with makeup or if they are not really into makeup but need something that could prettify them in a jiffy. This is very ideal since it's a 2 in 1 product. I use this when I am in a hurry and need a means to an end. You know, when I need to look alive if I have to run errands.

PS.  I also used another NYX product to create that simple look in the photo above. I used the NYX Micro Brow Pencil to fill in my brows. I have the shade Ash Brown and it's a good match for my hair color. Just darker than Chocolate Brown but more on the gray side. As the name implies, the applicator is ultra thin so it's ideal for making those feather-light strokes so the brows look more natural. I wish I'd opened the cap on this photo so you can see the tip.
You know what I absolutely hate about this product? It's almost immediately gone...like I easily consumed it. Ha ha! Well, maybe that also means that I loved the product so much that I used it up so easily. I still have the spoolie though and I'm keeping it because it's not too big and it's good for brushing the brows post shading. NYX Micro Brow Pencil retails at $10.00 (about Php 540.00)

I checked out Nyx's website and as I write this, there are about 34 shades of the Soft Matte Lip Cream to choose from. They are all named after different cities around the globe; you got it right, there is a Manila shade. I wanted a nude one though so I picked Stockholm, one of the most recommended nude shade.

Here are some of the details on the label and you can see that it's made in....where else? :) It's also indicated that it can be used up to 18 months after opening (18M). I am not sure though if I could reach the 18 month mark since it doesn't seem like there's plenty of product inside the tube. And there's no way for me to squeeze the tube to the very last drop. 

SWATCHES

The color has been described as Mid-Tone Beige Pink on the NYX Website. I picked this one because I didn't want anything bright. I didn't want to get anything too beige because I will look washed out so I picked one that leans towards the pinkish side. So here are the swatches under different light settings.

IN ACTION

Since this is a lip cream, it is of course, creamy (LOL). Creamy in a mousy way, not in a runny way. Upon application on the lips it doesn't immediately set. You have about thirty second before it dries to a fully matte, flat finish that clings to the lips. No qualms about the matte finish since it doesn't feel uncomfortable. Well of course girls, you know how it feels to wear matte lipsticks. There's a certain tight feeling on the lips at first but goes away after a while.

So that photo would be a blowup of my lips before and after applying the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream. This is a matte lippie girls, so you know the drill about keeping the lips prepped prior to application.

For the staying power, I think it lasted on my lips without budging for about 4 to 5 hours, with careful eating and drinking. It would be a different story though if you eat oily food. No, it cannot brave our favorite Filipino dishes, sad to say.
