I'm finally having the time to put together this blog post! I always love finding lip swatch pictures and videos so I thought you would enjoy!
NYX Butter Lipsticks are a little hit and miss when it comes to pigmentation. Personally I don't really mind because it makes some of these more wearable. With 22 shades there's definitively a shade for everyone. They don't smell like anything and the more pigmented shades are the ones that last the longest. Really comfortable on the lips, they literally feel like a lip balm!
I did a video on them if you would like to see it:
L-R: Sugar Waffer, Snow Cap, Fun Size, Bit of Honey, Hubba Bubba, Candy Buttons, Cotton Candy, Gumdrop, Taffy, Lollies and Little Susie
Sugar Waffer
Sugar Waffer: In the tube it looks like a warm nudy color. It's no extremely pigmented but it does nude out my lips (which are a reddish color!) It's the lightest of the bunch!
Snow Cap
Snow Cap: This is the most neutral brown shade of the light colours and it's sheer. It is darker that Sugar Waffer and more neutral brown.
Fun Size
Fun Size: This is my favorite everyday color of these! Perfect nudy pink shade. Sheer enough that you don't need a mirror to apply it but enough to nude out my lips!
Bit of Honey
Bit of Honey: This one is a little too milky for my taste. It looks fine in pictures but it tends to emphasize any lines or dry patches. Under a lipgloss it would be perfect as a orangy-warm nude color. Again it's pretty sheer!
Hubba Bubba
Hubba Bubba: Hubba Bubba is a sheer but yet build able light pinky cool tone shade. It does emphasize your imperfections but the color is worth exfoliating your lips!
Candy Buttons
Candy Buttons: Beautiful coral shade! It would be perfect for spring and summer. It's more pigmented than the lighter shades and more of a mid tone orangy color.
Cotton Candy
Cotton Candy: Bright pink shade, it comes off brighter than what it looks like in the tube. It is darker than Hubba Bubba.
Gumdrop
Gumdrop: Gumdrop is a mid tone pink that really needs to be build up to appear brighter. Unless you love this shade I would skip it.
Taffy
Taffy: Darker and a little more pigmented than Gumdrop, Taffy is more on the mauvy side.
Lollies
Lollies: This is one of my favorites! It's a bright pinky coral. If you are more tan I would stay away because its white base might be harder to pull off.
Little Susie
Little Susie: Pigmented pinky red shade, if you're scared of reds or want a shade that you can wear everyday Little Susie would be perfect for that!
L-R: Fireball, Hot Tamale, Fizzies, Pops, Sweet Tart, Juju, Razzle, Big Cherry, Mary Janes, Hunk and Licorice
Fireball
Fireball: Orangy red shade. On my lips it looks pigmented but it's because my lips are already a reddish color. On the swatch you can really see how sheer it is. Again if that's what you like Fireball is for you.
Hot Tamale
Hot Tamale: Super pigmented orange shade! Perfect for summer. If you're looking for an orange lipstick that has a bit of red in it Hot Tamale would be for you! It's one of my favorite.
Fizzies
Fizzies: More of muted mauvy pink shade with some red in it. It's really sheer.
Pops
Pops: This would be an awesome nude color for darker skin! On me it looks more like a mauve brown that I could wear during fall. It's sheer but buildable.
Sweet Tart
Sweet Tart: More pigmented but still sheer Sweet Tart is more on the fuchsia red side than Fizzies.
Juju
Juju: True red color with a hint of orange in it, Juju is still on the sheer side but buildable
Razzle
Razzle: Bright purple pink shade Razzle can be build up to this shade or worn more sheer. If you're scared of bright pinks this is an easy way to start!
Big Cherry
Big Cherry: True red and pigmented Big Cherry is the perfect shade of red!
Mary Janes
Mary Janes: Deep red shade with a hint of brown in it.
Hunk
Hunk: Don't be scared by this shade. It looks dark in the tube but it goes on sheer and you can build it up to this beautiful purple shade. I fell in love with this shade and I can't wait for fall to wear it!
Licorice
Licorice: Deep purpely red shade, Licorice is clearly a vampy color! If you're into these type of lipsticks you need this one!
I hope you enjoy this post! Let me know what are your favorite shades!

I have been neglecting my blog in the last few months but I decided to get my act together :)
Hopefully this post will make up for it all!
I recently been in love with the NYX butter glosses. Seriously the best lip glosses I've ever tried, the only thing I like as much would be the Buxom ones and they are completely different.
I also did a lip swatch video:
This lip glosses are so creamy, pigmented (they show up true to color on my pigmented lips!) and they smell divine! They all have dessert related names which works perfectly with their cake batter scent! They last a few hours and don't end up in the corner of my mouth (a personal pet peeve!). For the price, if you haven't already, I suggest you run out right now to pick up at least one shade!
They are perfect whether you wear them on their own or layered over your favorite lipsticks (Read: Peach cobbler over Lady Danger by Mac or Sugar Cookie over Maybelline Vivid in Hot plum!)
Enough rambling let get to the lip swatches!
Crème Brulée
Crème Brulée
Perfect everyday nude shade! This is the one I know I'll ran out of first. It's a cult favorite for a reason!
Tiramisu
Tiramisu
Another beautiful nude shade. More brown than Crème brulée it's perfect if you have a tan!
Éclair
Éclair
Cool tone pink shade. It gives a nice light color to your lips even if they're pigmented like mines!
Meringue
Meringue
This one impressed me so much! My lips are naturally a reddish pink shade and this shows up true to color... so pigmented!
Maple Blondie
Maple Blondie
Beautiful sheer coral shade. It's darker than apple strudel but not as reddy-pink as peaches and cream. It might be difficult to see the difference between this one and the next two so at the end I'll include a picture with all of them... you're welcome! :)
Apple Strudel
Apple Strudel
Another amazing coral shade! Again see at the end to see them side by side!
Peaches and Cream
Peaches and Cream
This shade is still a coral but with more red and pink than the last two!
Peach Cobbler
Peach Cobbler
This is a orangy red shade. Like I said at the beginning this is perfect over Lady Danger by Mac but as you can see in the picture it can easily be worn on its own!
Strawberry Parfait
Strawberry Parfait
This is the sheerest of the older shades! It's a gorgeous fuchsia pink but you will probably need to layer it. If your lips aren't as dark as mine then it might show up better!
Cherry Cheese Cake
Cherry Cheese Cake
If Morange by Mac was a lip gloss this would be it! If you're scared to try orange lips and love lip gloss you need this in your life! This shade is surprisingly easy to pull off!
Cherry Pie
Cherry Pie
Perfect glossy red to wear all year around. It's lighter tun red velvet!
Now on to the new shades!
Fortune Cookie
Fortune Cookie
This is the definition of pale nude lips! I love the fact that it doesn't look milky on my lips (hate that!) With no self tanner I can pull it off but during summer it might be too light. If you have fair skin this will be the perfect shade!
Madeleine
Madeleine
Madeleine is a brown nude color that will be perfect for tan skin!
Praline
Praline
Not gonna lie this one scared me! I was afraid it would look ridiculous on me but the hint of red in this brow lip gloss makes it wearable. If you have darker skin than me... it will look way better on you :)
Angel Food Cake
Angel Food Cake
Well hello gorgeous shade! I was excited for this shade. It's a deeper and more brown than Crème Brulée but it looks AMAZING! What ever skin color you have... you need this!
Vanilla Cream Pie
Vanilla Cream Pie
If you love pinks but you thought Éclair and Meringue were too cold tone for you this shade is for you! There's a bit of warmth to it but not too much so it will suit most people!
Cupcake
Cupcake
Cupcake is BRIGHT! Almost look like a lip gloss version of Mac Viva Glam Nicki but it's more wearable. If you want to start wearing brighter lips this is for you!
Sugar Cookie
Sugar Cookie
Sugar Cookie is one of my favorites! Bright fuchsia, it is more pigmented and more purple than Strawberry Parfait. You might find with the next few shades that you need to apply it more than once to get it even but it's worth it!
Raspberry Tart
Raspberry Tart
Raspberry Tart might be scary in the tube but it's a beautiful and wearable purple!
Red Velvet
Red Velvet
A little darker than Cherry Pie!
Devil's food cake
Devil's Food Cake
Another favorite! This is a deep red shade. It almost look black it the tube but you need to try it on your lips to give it justice!
