  • “They were really comfortable, not sticky at all”16:50–16:54
  • “What really sets this apart from the other dimethicone lip blur products I've tried is that the color doesn't settle into my lines and it does not catch around my dry patches”16:52–16:57
  • “5 hours later, before eating dinner, the color was still solid. It had slightly transferred to my water bottle straw, but it didn't look worn at all on my lips”
  • “Once I had dinner, there was still a soft wash of color left behind”17:38–17:42
  • “Honestly, very impressed by this. NYX got it right. I was wrong. I'm definitely going to be purchasing more shades”17:40–17:46

4.2Smushy Matte Lip Balm
  • “It's a kind of a lip balm. It looks like a mousse. It feels like a mousse on lips. It's slightly tinted and it stands a bit and no dryness. No dryness while wearing and it's not patchy”45:06–45:11
  • “If we compare this product to matte lip mousse from Krice, I'm not a big fan of this product from the main line because they are dry and they look patchy. This product is better”45:20–45:26

Brand note

NYX is the drugstore brand that shows up when creators want affordable, functional makeup with actual shade options. The Wonder Snatch Lifting Setting Powder gets the most talk — it's mattifying and smoothing, but the tiny .2 oz size makes it expensive per ounce, and some find it gives flashback or doesn't control oil all day. The brand's lip stains also get consistent love for longevity and precision. Overall, NYX is a solid go-to for budget-friendly basics, but you have to watch the value on some products.
