I confess, beauty and makeup videos on YouTube are my guilty pleasure. Chelsea Wears in one of my favorites and recently she showed a collection of her NYX lipsticks. One color that stood out to me that I haven’t tried was the NYX Matte lipstick in Hippie Chic. So naturally when I found myself at Ulta the other day, I had to pick it up.
Hippie Chic is a pale peachy pink color. This was my first NYX matte lipstick and I have mixed thoughts on it. This lipstick can be a bit patchy on the lips even when you apply a lip balm first. I found that mostly happens towards the inside of the lips so it’s not terribly noticable from a distance. And if you add a gloss on top, it’s even less noticable.
I expected this NYX lipstick to be dry as a bone after a few minutes post application but it never dried totally matte. For me, it stayed a bit glossy and still felt silky even after an hour of wear. My lips didn’t dry out either, which was nice.
I’m in love with this color! I think it looks really nice with my fair skin without being too much of a shocking pink. What do you think of NYX Hippie Chic Matte lipstick? Would you wear this color?
Available at NYX, Ulta and Cherry Culture.
The color looks great! I have a few of their round lipsticks and they have this soapy, perfumey scent/taste that I cannot stand on my lips. Does this have any scent or taste?
Hi Amy. No, I don’t notice any scent or taste with this one.
That particular shade of peachy-pink is lovely on you! I think it may be a touch too light for my skin tone, but it’s pretty nonetheless!
Thanks Becca! It is a very light shade that may look a bit bright on darker than fair skin tones.
