NYX Butter Gloss – Bling
TL:DR – The NYX Butter Gloss Bling keeps all the buttery smooth, non-sticky goodness of the OG Butter Gloss but amps it up with sparkle. With 8 glitter-packed shades like Pricey (a cool pink) and Pay Me in Gold (a golden shimmer), it’s great for bold, festive vibes. Just a heads up: the coverage is on the sheer side, it transfers easily, and the smaller applicator might have you dipping back in the tube more often than you’d like. But at £7.5 ($6), it’s great bang for buck.
The Details
NYX has taken their beloved Butter Gloss formula and added a sparkling twist with the Butter Gloss Bling range. This gloss combines the hydrating, non-sticky formula of the original with a dazzling shimmer, available in eight vibrant shades perfect for a little extra glam.
The Pros
Smooth Application: True to its Butter Gloss roots, the formula glides on effortlessly without feeling gritty—yes, even with all that shimmer!
Affordable Luxury: At just £7.5 ($6) per tube, it’s a budget-friendly way to add sparkle to your look.
Comfortable Wear: Users report a lightweight, non-sticky texture that makes it perfect for all-day wear.
Versatile Glam: Wear it solo for a subtle shimmer or layer it over lipstick to elevate your lip game.
The Cons
Transfer Issues: Like many glosses, it doesn’t have much staying power and transfers easily.
Pigmentation Varies: Some shades offer more colour payoff than others, so swatch before you commit.
Small Applicator: The applicator is smaller than some other glosses so it may require frequent dips for even application.
Final Verdict
The NYX Butter Gloss Bling is a great addition to any makeup collection, especially if you love a touch of glam. Its affordability and comfortable wear make it worth trying, though it might not be ideal for those who prefer long-lasting or understated lip products.
