MAD ABOUT MATTE LIPPIES

Anastasia | ColourPop | Kylie Lip Kit | Kat von D | NYX 

For the last few years I have been collecting lipsticks like they were never going to be produced

again. Do I wear them? Not usually.  Maybe its just me, but i feel the color is gone within 30 mins of putting it, then you have to reapply, and it's a vicious cycle that repeats all day long.  (First world problems I know.)  Enter stage left the matte lippie that last hours upon hours.  I see the Anastasia all over Instagram as well as Ms King Kylie's lip kit selling out in a matter of seconds.  But for those prices, I refused to purchase any cause I'm not trying to pay almost $30 for a tiny tube.  Especially not knowing if it's really that great.  However, I have found one of, if not, the best matte lippies you can buy almost anywhere these days;NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream.  Of course you can buy these at Ulta & Target, as well as CVS and really at $6 a tube, you can not beat it.  I have now about 10 NYX Matte Creams ranging from the basic (as seen above) to their specialty lines like the Lingerie & Suede creams.  I would say on average I can go at least 4-5 hours without touching up.  If i drink anything without a straw or eat anything, I'll have to touch up way more often than the 4 hour mark. I am currently waiting for my ColourPop colors to arrive (any day now!!-- also they are $6 each) to test them as well, but I've heard their staying power is even better than NYX.  I'd buy the Kat von D or Kylie Lip Kits, but those things are always sold out, so I can never get my hands on them! Now the Anastasia is supposed to be pretty darn good as well, but I can't find these babies in store anywhere.  I mean anywhere..... kind of annoying.  Anyone know where I can get them here in Dallas?
