NYX Xtreme Lip cream in 01 Dolly Girl
Things that go well together…
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Makarna ve peynir
Chocolate and peanut butter
Music and workouts
Manis and pedis
Ryan Gosling and shirtless-ness (that’s not a word…)
Dirty dancing and Clueless, viewed back-to-back with a tub of ice cream (gawd, I’m turning into a Cathy comic)
Kittens and baskets
And things that don’t go well together…
The words “discount” and “plastic surgery”
Wet socks and jogging
Cosmopolitans and empty stomachs
Blind dates and Craigslist
The Twilight films and Academy Awards
Shrunken pants and Harvard interviews
Lip products and the scents of plastic and butter…
Yes, plastic and butter.

Yeegh!
The thought of those together makes my tummy churn, and unfortunately, it’s the way I think the new NYX Xtreme Lip Creams taste and smell. even so, the list of things I like about these liquid lipgloss/lipstick hybrids practically outweighs their flavor and scent.
They’re highly pigmented, smooth, non-sticky, come with an easy-to-use doe-foot applicator, are available in a broad variety of bright and nudes shades, and sell for a sensible $6 each. They also last about five hours on my lips, which isn’t half bad for something as lightweight and glossy as these. Plus, on top of all that, I don’t find them drying at all.

With these, as long as I hold my nose, we’re good to go.
Lip swatches and pics
I tried something a little different for the eye look I’m wearing here, and I’m not 100 percent sure I like the way it turned out…
That’s the Guerlain Ecrin 4 Couleurs quad in Les Roses ($59) on my eyes. It’s from the spring 2012 collection coming in January to select Saks fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, Bloomingdales and Bergdorf Goodman stores.
I think the combination of hot pink in the crease and purple in the outer corners of my eyes looks alright in person, but here in these pics it kinda looks like I got into a fight.
Hmm… Well, if nothing else, it was fun to try something new.

As much as I love how these lippies look and feel, I’m having a difficult time digesting the way they taste and smell (eau de plastic and butter). Thankfully, the scent fades after about a minute, but the flavor lingers much longer than that — long enough to set off my gag reflex once or twice.
I know a lot of ladies who love NYX lip products and don’t mind their flavors and scents. because of that, I encourage you to give these a try, because if you find that you don’t mind the way they smell or taste, you are in luck! I think these have numerous terrific things going for ’em, and if NYX chooses to release an unflavored, unscented version, I’d be all over that.
