🫦 What shade is your favorite!? 🫦

Okay, so you've heard me rave about the NYX Fat Lip Oil in 'Missed Call,' but let's dive a little deeper into why this little $9 gem has earned a permanent spot in my makeup bag. When I first heard about 'fat lip oil,' I admit I was a bit skeptical. Would it be too thick? Too greasy? But NYX really nailed the formula. First, let's talk about the shade 'Missed Call.' On the lips, it’s this gorgeous, juicy berry-mauve shade that gives your natural lip color a serious boost. It’s not a true opaque lipstick, but it provides enough pigment to make your lips look fuller and more defined, almost like a sheer, glossy stain. You know those days when you want a pop of color but don't want the commitment of lipstick? This is it! It’s one of those shades that complements so many skin tones, bringing a healthy flush to your face. For those who love a 'red lipstick' vibe but prefer something softer and more comfortable, 'Missed Call' offers that vibrant, healthy lip look without any of the dryness. The 'fat' in its name isn't just for show – it truly delivers a plump, hydrated look without any of that dreaded stickiness. Seriously, I can't stand lip products that feel tacky, and this one passes the ultimate hair-in-the-wind test with flying colors. It glides on effortlessly, feeling incredibly nourishing, almost like a treatment. My lips feel softer and smoother even after it wears off, which is a huge plus. And speaking of wear, while it's a lip oil, I'm genuinely impressed by its staying power. It doesn't disappear in an hour like some other oils; I get a good few hours of comfortable wear before needing to reapply, especially if I'm just drinking. Now, how do I make this lip oil work even harder for me? I’ve gathered a few tips and tricks you might find useful. For a subtle, everyday look, one swipe is all you need. If you want to enhance the color and make it last even longer, try pairing it with a lip liner in a similar berry or nude-mauve shade. Outline and lightly fill in your lips before applying 'Missed Call' on top – it creates a beautiful, defined pout with added depth. I've also found it's fantastic for topping off a matte lipstick. If your favorite matte shade is feeling a bit dry, a dab of this lip oil in the center of your lips instantly transforms it into a more comfortable, glossy finish without compromising the base color too much. It's truly versatile! You know I mentioned ELF's Honey Talk lip oil in my initial review. While I still adore Honey Talk for its sheer, peachy tint, the NYX Fat Lip Oil, particularly 'Missed Call,' offers a more substantial color payoff and a slightly longer wear time in my experience. If you’re deciding between the two, think about whether you want a hint of tint (ELF) or a more noticeable, juicy wash of color (NYX). For just $9, the NYX Fat Lip Oil seriously competes with higher-end alternatives. It’s an affordable luxury that delivers on its promises. So, if you're on the hunt for a comfortable, non-sticky, nourishing lip oil that gives you a lovely pop of color, you absolutely need to try the NYX Fat Lip Oil. I’m already planning to pick up a few more shades – maybe a clear one for those no-makeup makeup days, or a brighter one for summer. What shades are you eyeing? Let me know your favorites!
