NYX Round Lipstick: Peach Bellini

Hey Beauties ❤❤
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend and are ready for your week. I'm getting ready for maternity leave so I am working strange hours, but I can not complain cause after next week I won't have to go in at all, YAY :)

Today I wanted to share a NYX lipstick I picked up back in September. I love NYX lipsticks, they are pigmented, long lasting and come in beautiful colors. And did I mention they are affordable? Whats not to love about that?!

This shade is called Peach Bellini. It is a gorgeous bright red-orange shade. I love this color on others but to be honest it is a bit out of my comfort zone. I am hoping I can force myself to wear it in the summer because it is so beautiful! Like other NYX lipsticks this is a great formula. It lasts a couple hours before you need to re-apply and looks lovely with a gloss over top!

Overall Thoughts...
I would re-purchase this. It is a great deal for $4 available on CherryCulture.com (Worldwide)!

                  What is your favorite NYX lipstick shade?
                                                                       ❤❤
