I really like this color! Putting on my “traditional-society-thinking” hat for half a second (it’s just too tight, it won’t fit right so I don’t do this often) this color is a little too bright for some, a little too “young girl” for most adults, not “young” enough or “bright” enough for most teens. It isn’t a bright enough pop for a “fun summer” lipstick. It’s not garish, it’s not totally subdued…it’s a royal bitch to categorize.
Predictably, I fell in love with it the moment I swatched it. It is brighter but not vibrant or neonesque; it has mauve undertones but it’s not a mauve shade; it’s “my lips but just a touch edgier.” I like the creme finish, as well. (I think a frost or shimmer finish might have been just slightly wrong…and if I really want a shimmer or sparkle, I can add a gloss topcoat.)
I can’t ever seem to find this at the stores that carry NYX, and it would occasionally be out of stock online - so for whatever reason or series of reasons, this color must strike a chord with plenty of other folks. I’m not sure, I’ll have to swatch them side by side, but I think that this shade might be right between Stila’s Long Wear Lipcolor in Petal (lighter) and Muse (more subdued / more mauve.)
