I don't know if it's NYX, or my color perception, or some other factor...but it seems like a lot of NYX lip colors whose names suggest a deep or vampy red, have an almost hot-pink tinge. Instead of this being what I think of as a "pinup" red, the color looks like a slightly more grown up shade of fuchsia. It applies smoothly, has a light grapeseed scent, and doesn't dry my lips out. The color also tends to stay in place for a few hours - par for the course, for the NYX Black Label lipsticks that I've tried. The color payoff is pretty rich without having to go over my lips two and three times - another point in this line's factor. I really do wish I knew how to find a softer red that is either neutral or has blue undertones...but doesn't look magentoid!

Beauty Tip

Wear healing lip balm at night. It helps keep your lips from chapping, drying, or peeling, especially in winter.
