I hope everyone is having a good week so far! After I had been using the NYX Butter Gloss in Crème Brulee for a while, I decided to purchase another shade in Angel Food Cake, and I wanted to review both of them here.

Crème Brulee is a pale pink shade that is nice for the Spring and Summer, and Angel Food Cake is a mauve shade that is perfect for the Fall and Winter. Both glosses have good pigment, and they apply smoothly and evenly with the doe foot applicator. Even though these are lip glosses, they do not make my lips feel sticky. The Butter Glosses also live up to their name because they make my lips feel soft while looking glossy.
The only con of these glosses is that I have to reapply them throughout the day because they only last 2-3 hours without eating or drinking, and they are also not transfer-proof. However, I expected that because glosses tend to not last as long as lipsticks. These glosses are affordable, and there are more than 40 different shades available, ranging from pink, purple, red, orange, nude, and even Bling! shades. I would definitely recommend trying these lip glosses. The NYX glosses are a great alternative to the Kylie Cosmetics Gloss because the NYX glosses have the same results as the Kylie Cosmetics Gloss for a fraction of the price.
Overall, the NYX Butter Gloss has good pigment and does not make the lips feel sticky, but it is not long-lasting. However, the glosses are great for the price, and I would definitely recommend them!

Thank you for the review! Definitely going to try these out! Xo
You’re welcome! 😊 They’re one of the best glosses I’ve tried!
love this review! thought i’d let you know I’ve tagged you in an award over at my blog!
Thanks & thank you for the nomination! 😄
Such a great review, I have a love/hate relationship with lip glosses but I love the Soap and Glory ones! X
Thank you! 😊 I’m glad you like the Soap & Glory ones b/c I tried the gloss stick & lip plumping gloss & hated them!
Great review 😍 i love these lip glosses, i recently purchased them, and i am so happy with the formula and colour!!
Thank you! 😊 What shades do you have?
Madeleine, praline and red velvet!!
Those look like pretty shades!
They are: madeleine is a warm pink, praline a dark nude and red velvet, a really bright red!
How funny!! I believe I own both of those colors!! LOL!! They are very lovely colors, but yes they don’t last long cuz they are a lip gloss. ♥
That’s funny haha 😄 I know Crème Brulee is one of the more popular shades & that’s why I tried it first!
Nice!!
I’m a huge fan of the Ashley Tisdale lip glosses from BH cosmetics. They don’t last long either but I usually put her lip and cheek stain on underneath so I’ve got some color and reapply the gloss as needed. Plus they’re super affordable as well:)
Ooo I should check them out! 😄
Definitely!! I highly recommend 🙂
I own the Tiramisu butter gloss and I love it so much! The scent is also divine!
Tiramisu looks like a pretty shade!
Love this! ❤️
Me too! 😄
I really love that darker color. I actually never wear lipgloss but I have heard that the NYX butter glosses are really good! Thanks for the review xo
No problem! & they’re great especially for the price! 😄
Love these, so cute and cruelty free 💕
I agree! 😄
Nice
Thank you!
I’m impressed that the lip gloss doesn’t leave lips sticky like other glosses. I love the look of lip glosses, but I’ve never liked the gross, sticky feel.
You should definitely try these butter glosses then!
You know I wonder if the different shades are all different in formula because I have a dark purple shade and it’s just not good, it -is- sticky and applies unevenly and unless I’m imaginging things it’s also runny (??). And you know me, I usually like my NYX lip products.
So basically just saying: it’d be interesting with a comparison!
I thought all of the butter glosses would have the same formula. I’ll have to get a darker shade to try!
I love all my butter glosses but even if it has the same formula the actual pigment/shade can affect it! That’s why black shadows or dark liquid lipsticks are sometimes weird and patchy and inconsistent x
That’s a good point!
