It’ll probably be a bit before I get to testing these in full (they’re permanent, so there’s no rush!), but I thought you might enjoy checking out photos and swatches of NYX Macaron Lippies ($6.00 for 0.15 oz.) in the meanwhile.

Also… Wickied Lippies? I added lip swatches here.

See more photos & swatches!

Wow, you’ve got to give it to NYX! Most of these seem amazingly opaque and even! I was thinking something like this would just look patchy on, but they made it work! Would love to hear your thoughts about the formula.

Kimberly Avatar

I still wouldn’t buy any of them because I really not into unconventional lip colors, but I’m super glad that it seems like someone has finally come up with a decent line of unconventionally colored lipsticks. (And a drug store brand at that!) They all look pretty great. Hopefully they perform well too!

Melanie T Avatar

I definitely need orange blossom! Citron and black seasame look great for layering/mixing. I am very drawn to pistachio for some reason! So pretty!

Nicola Avatar

The “Violet” looks so pretty, I’ve already ordered it! 🙂 So excited, but might take a week or maybe two to arrive to me since I have to use shipito. Violet, Rose and Orange look the most wearable to me, the others are kinda bold but I love them nevertheless.

Helene Avatar

I can totally see myself buying and using some of these. Some looked a bit uneven, some looked really good. Will be interesting to read the reviews later on. I really like Chambord, Violet, Lavender and Black sesame. I’m not sure how the lighter pastelly ones will work with my skintone so Lavender might look horrid on me, but they are fun, these lipsticks.

artemis Avatar

Omg, they are so pretty! The first blue and the pale grey seem to have perfect looking textures :))) i’m curious about the way they feel on. I like all of them :)) i doubt they’ll be on the sites that sells nyx over here, tho 🙁

I’m still a bit miffed with NYX as there are no large displays in Canada and the refuse to come back to IMATS Toronto that past 4 years. Love these but like to no have to order online fro 80% of their products. lol

I love to get there wicked line as well. But Starting in the new year I’ll be one a 2 year no buy. (So I’m running around to get staples that will last me two years. lol )

I’m in Los Angeles, and I still have to order online… ULTA stated they won’t get these back in-store, and no other store carries anything more than “basics”. I only have one of these, which I love, but I’d like the option of picking up 1-2 at a time, but in order to make it worthwhile, I’d have to get more money together and place an online order.

Alexis Avatar

I know what you mean! l live in Toronto and Rexall/PharmaPlus carries NYX, but not the full line. Like they have matte lip creams but no butter glosses.
Target carries NYX too but goodluck finding stock. The displays are usually pretty empty, like the rest of the store lol!

Fran Avatar

Some of these colors are really beautiful! I wonder if there is any possibility of wearing Key Lime or Earl Grey as an eyeshadow? Light lipsticks yield a definite “corpse factor” on me. How similar is the Violet to Too Faced Melted Violet?

Veronica Avatar

Some of the pastels look a tad streaky, but Chambord is a delight. It says a lot that a budget brand produces a shade better than Kat Von D’s matte line. 9_9

Black Sesame is *amazing* for mixing with other lipsticks that are the wrong shade, and it plays well with every brand I’ve tried it with. I had an entire bin of nude lipsticks that were too warm/peach/orange, and now I can actually wear them!

Ginny Avatar

These are actually a little bit too white-based for me… the Wicked ones are more appealing to my adventurous side. But if I wanted a black lipstick this would be a cheap option.

Rae Avatar

Oh my god, are those little Ps I see on the Wicked lipsticks, too?? 😀 😀 That’s awesome, dude!

I’m still eagerly awaiting your reviews for all of these lipsticks (Betrayal and Immortal in particular), but thanks for the lip swatches 🙂 I’ve been seriously considering ordering those two from NYX sight-unseen & having them shipped up to Canada, but if they’re permanent, I might do some more purple-hunting first — Immortal’s not looking quite as opaque as I’d hoped it would.

panchita Avatar

I’m glad that quite a lot of these colors are wearable.

I remember that some lip products from NYX tend to smell soapy though–which could be a turn-off.
Do these lipsticks, and the Wicked ones, smell soapy?

Allie Avatar

I bought Black Sesame and Lavender when Ulta was having their sale on NYX. Thanks for the heads up on that! Black Sesame is so pretty, but when I applied it, it was very streaky and required many coats to get opaqueness. What is your secret?

Quinctia Avatar

Hmm…I’m still not very excited by these, so I think it’s my “meh” reaction to cream finishes. Though I still kind of like Earl Gray. So…I think I’ll pick up a few Wickeds and Earl Gray if I do a wacky NYX lipstick order.

Joanna Avatar

These, and the wicked ones, are so awesome. They are so inexpensive I might just buy a few to wear around the house while doing chores.

Teal lipstick just might be something I need. So weird and like, Italian Vogue or something.

taite Avatar

I have black sesame, earl grey, pistachio, and lavender and I love all of them … They can be a tiny bit streaky but they’re pretty opaque and for $6 a pop I can’t complain. The colors are so unconventional and fun I’m very excited for the wicked puppies 🙂

Johnna Quick Owens Avatar

I am really impressed with the range of colors. These look so fun, I may finally be able to convince myself to venture out of my red/wine/nude safe zone. Thanks!

Ashley Avatar

I have Blue Velvet and absolutely love it. I’d been searching for a bright blue lipstick for ages, and they were either too expensive (either the base price or because of shipping) or the formula was off. Really impressed with these. I’m going to try and get my hands on Black Sesame, too.
