NYX Round Lipstick in Saturn

Hello, Bloggers!
I love, love, love NYX's Round Lipsticks! I own ten NYX lipsticks as of right now, and I have intentions of buying more in the near future. =D I'm a little makeup crazy.
Sooo...anyway. I have decided to start swatching my NYX Round Lipsticks individually. I relied heavily on swatches from other bloggers and YouTube videos to decide which lipsticks I should buy since the swatches both Cherry Culture and NYX have aren't anywhere near the actual color of the lipsticks. I also prefer lipstick swatches actually on lips instead of on the arm. Therefore, I decided to make blog posts on my NYX Round Lipsticks.

Today, I am swatching NYX Round Lipstick in Saturn.


Saturn is a gorgeous bright pinkish red. It has gold shimmer in it, which makes it a bit more wearable in my opinion.

*The above photo was taken outdoors in natural lighting. I didn't use anything on my lips that would effect the color outcome of this lipstick, such as lip liner or lip gloss. Saturn was applied over my extremely pale, bare lips.

I really like the color payoff of Saturn. It's extremely pigmented and very opaque. However, like all NYX lipsticks, it doesn't last too long. I find that it has the least staying power out of my NYX lipsticks. If you lightly touch your lips with it on, the color will come completely off. So, it's not my favorite, but it is a really pretty color. I'm just not willing to deal with the upkeep it requires to keep it staying in place and prevent it from feathering.

More swatches on the way:

  2. Seriously?! Ah...dude...sometimes I wonder if we share a mind! We're great! Haha, that's such a coincidence. I've been wanting to post my swatches for a long time now, but I just hadn't gotten around to it until now. Haha...I still can't believe we were thinking the same thing! Golly. XD
    I'm sure your swatches will turn out better than mine did... I just can't get used to swatching, and I have no idea how I want it to look. =(
    I'm super excited to see all of your pretty lipstick swatches!
