NYX Cosmetics’ Helio Round Lipstick

When I saw this swatched over on another blog, it looked like a silvery-white with faint tinges of blue. I had a hard time finding swatches of this color anywhere else, to compare. I finally bit the bullet and ordered it, thinking that I could use it under some of my darker lip polishes to brighten them up. This color, though, is very very subtle. It will probably best be used atop some of my darker Buxom lip sticks, to lighten and soften those colors (I'm thinking primarily of Fresno and Bombay.) The silver-white shimmer isn't what I expected, but it's something that I can work with.

This was part of my first order for NYX lipsticks, along with B52, Chloe, Jupiter, Peach, and Thalia.
