One of the best lipstick formulas that NYX Professional Cosmetics has to offer is their Soft Matte Lip Cream.The vast majority of the shades in this line are travel-inspired, named after cities around the world. NYX has just released 12 new shades of Soft Matte Lip Cream to the already hefty line of colors. That means there are 12 more cities to explore!
I was way late to the party when it came to non-bullet lipsticks, and after I grew tired of dried up, crusty liquid lips, I picked up Soft Matte Li-… I picked up SMLC. The texture is most similar to a mousse, but it dries down similar to a liquid lipstick. It’s kind of the perfect hybrid between a traditional lipstick and this new, high-tech liquid stuff.
The major difference, and what sets it apart the most, is the wear. It lasts for ages and some colors even turn into a stain on your lips which feels… invisible. After this formula dries down, it’s easy to forget you’re wearing it. There’s no tightness or pulling – just comfort. That’s how SMLC made its way into my top 10 favorite drugstore lipsticks of 2017!
The 12 New Shades of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream are…

Is your city up included in the new batch? What do you think of the new shades?
I’m kind of surprised that there are no wackadoo colors in here, like Moscow or Havana – bright navy blue and purple, respectively. These are all really wearable and dare I say nude. The conspiracy theorist part of my brain is telling me to make sure that these aren’t all just the same color on different skin tones, but obviously, that part of my brain is dumb.
Each tube of SMLC will run you $6.50. Right now, you can find the new shades of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream on the NYX Professional Makeup website (scroll all the way to the bottom of the shade list) and in NYX stores. I’m sure they’ll be shipped out to drugstores stores in no time, though! Which ones do you want to pick up?
