After using these glosses, I wondered - what exactly makes them sooooo irresistible?
Is the pretty packaging?
Is it the beautiful gliding formula of the gloss?
Is it the range of 22 non-shimmery lip shades with a great mix of pastel and bright colors?
Is it the non-sticky creamy formula?
And I think I hit on the answer when I say - its all in the name!
I mean, can you resist a lip gloss, so prettily packaged with the name "Butter Gloss"?
(Lets keep aside the fact that trying to glide a chunk of butter on the lips feels pretty yucky and not fun. )
Just the name is enough to conjure up an image right from the pages of a glossy magazine.... Awesome marketing, NYX! Kudos!

Price: $5 USD, they have lots of pretty shades too!
My Experience:
Let me start with what I don't like about these 1st, cos thats a short list!
- NYX don't ship to Canada and Rest of the world, so we miss out on all the good stuff and sales. I don't consider their "partnership" with MyUS as a shipping option - thats too expensive to buy these pocket friendly products!
- As much as I love the sturdy packaging, I wish it was partly clear so I could see the product inside :(
- Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... thats it? Really?
Now for the good stuff:
- Pretty cool packaging - its fun to line them up in the drawer! :)
- Lots of pretty shades to choose from
- Non-sticky application with a beautiful glossy finish
- Average staying power of 2-3 hours but provides longer lasting hydration - no need for lip balms with these babes
- One of the most comfortable-on-lips formula, especially from drugstore
Tiramisu is a pretty dull shade for my skin tone, but could be a nice MLBB shade for paler cool toned skins.
Its a cool toned nude 'Dusty-Rose'-ish pink-ish brown.
Cherry Pie is a beautiful Orangey Red, which makes it a great day wear for Summer.
Overall: Well, what is not to love? This is probably one of the best products from NYX. If you don't have them yet, try them soon, cos you're really missing out!
