In a moment of madness, I picked up the rest of the entire NYX Butter Gloss line after having been gifted two by a friend. These may just be the be-all, end-all of glosses for me.
The glosses come in an assortment of shades, ranging from a few neutrals, to pinks, to peaches and finally to some oranges and one red. They are on the milkier side, which the lighter colours tend to display more. The brighter peaches and oranges tend to look more juicy than milky and come across as having a slightly gel-like appearance (although they don’t feel gel-like).
There is a slight tackiness, but it’s so slight that chances are you won’t even notice it, although it does give the gloss some grip on the lips to help increase the longevity of the product. I wouldn’t say these are especially long lasting, they are a lipgloss after all, but you can expect about two hours of wear before you’ll need to re-apply (assuming you haven’t been eating or drinking).
As for the scent/taste of the gloss… well it’s a bit bizarre. The shades have a lovely buttery, slightly vanilla, creamy scent to them (some smell stronger than others). It’s certainly a tasty scent! However, once you get the product on the lips, it does tend to actually taste like plastic. I don’t find the taste to be off-putting really, but it is something worth noting as they definitely do not taste the same way they smell. Some colours have more of a plastic taste than others, so it’s not completely widespread across the entire range. (At the moment, I’m wearing Peach Cobbler and it has one of the stronger plastic tastes.)
In my opinion, these Butter Glosses are an absolute must-have. My favourites out of the bunch are Creme Brulee, Strawberry Parfait and Vanilla Cream Pie.
See below for pictures and swatches of the entire collection of Butter Glosses.
