NYX Super Cliquey Matte Lipstick ($9) is a new creamy matte lipstick available in 12 shades that launched with NYX’s Spring 2018 Collection. I know what you’re thinking, “Not more matte lipstick!” Yes, more. Sorry. I had hopes that Spring 2018 would be about shine but so far were off to a rather horrible start.
I probably would have avoided this purchase but I got two requests to review these so, I ended up purchasing one for review. I have to be a negative Nancy here for a second, apologies in advanced for turning into a grumpy old lady but this marketing is absurd. “Raise your squad goals with Super Cliquey Matte Lipstick!” Ugh please. Really" Squad goals" Just for the record I do not call my friends “my squad”. Maybe if I was twelve that would sound cool but not at my age. Sorry, rant over, hopefully I didn’t offend anyone.
NYX Super Cliquey Matte Lipstick is likely an unnecessary release for the brand. Why" Because aside from some nifty new packaging this isn’t a groundbreaking formula that brings anything new or unique to the brand’s permanent collection. Really, at this point NYX has any number of matte lipstick offerings and really didn’t need to do a new one. However, that’s what NYX does. Each season they bring out a round of brand “new” items and you can’t complain about that as at least you’re getting variety but sadly, not affordability anymore ...
