NYX Cosmetics’ Lily of the Valley Black Label Lipstick (179)

I love the color and the very slight gold shimmer on this! This is definitely a cool magenta, almost a violet-magenta, so warm-toned ladies might not be able to pull this one off. (That's okay, more for me…)

The color is a bit sheer. That's about my only argument with this shade. I wish it had a little more color payoff. I can get a more intense color by applying another layer, but then it comes off far too easily and it feels a bit heavy.
