The NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams, with each shade named after a dream holiday destination, is firmly on our list of holy grail lip products. For just $13, you get a wonderfully pigmented matte liquid lipstick that goes on smoothly with the doe foot applicator, and smells like a vanilla dream. The shade that seems to be constantly sold out is Stockholm, a mid-toned beige pink that pretty much makes for the perfect neutral lip.
Now that NYX has relaunched at Sephora Singapore, you might stand a better chance of stocking up on Stockholm in the short term – but act fast, because we expect them to be in short supply once again pretty soon. But while you’re at it, do check out the 8 new Soft Matte Lip Cream shades that have been added to the fold this year. Another benefit of this brand relaunch: we now get to enjoy new launches the same time as the US.
Berlin
This medium warm brown is as chic as the artsy city its named after. Brown lips are having a moment again; you’ll do well to have this bold shade in your stash.
Havana
Wear this blue-toned purple for a night of dirty dancing, or just to make a statement in the day.
Madrid
A deep cranberry red that’s a warmer-toned alternative to your regular red lipstick. Use this to create a berry stained lip.
Manila
This coral pink, as vibrant as the Filipino capital, will instantly brighten up the face. We recommend wearing it with a fierce cat eye flick.
Moscow
Yes, this is a full on navy blue. Obviously let your lips be the focus of your face if you choose to wear this – no competing blue eyeshadow, please.
Paris
A shade named after the City of Love is expectedly pink. Definitely a date-appropriate colour.
San Juan
An orange with peachy undertones is another shade we consider a staple, one that represents summer and is an instant mood-lifter.
Vancouver
Give this dusty deep purple a try, pairing it with neutral eyeshadow for a real polished look.
