Best Bargain Lip Products That Don't Look Cheap

I am never one to turn down a good deal, especially when it comes to bargain lip products.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like nice expensive things. But when it comes to lip gloss and lipsticks, which I own 100+ shades of (totally not kidding), it is better for my wallet if I can find a brand that softens the blow to my bank account. Because let’s get real, there are a gazillion varieties of lip products out there, and I need all of the options!

NYX Butter glosses and matte lip creams are the answer to my budget conscience beauty needs. There are 3 specific formulas they offer that I am smitten with…

Butter Gloss – the original shiny hydrating lip gloss
Intense Butter Gloss – super high shine and slightly more opaque version of the butter gloss
and Soft Matte Lip Cream – just what it says, a soft but matte version that looks more like a velvety lipstick

And they’re all under 6 bucks! I have used a lot of lip products in my life, and this brand kills the competition in terms of quality for the price. I can’t stop buying a new tube every time I walk in the drugstore.

Here is a comparison of the formulas in a few of my favorite shades…

#1. Wearing Butter Gloss in “Creme Brûlée,” which is a pale pink nude. (Other favorite shades – Eclair & Vanilla Cream Pie.)

#2. Wearing Intense Butter Gloss in “Sorbet,” which is a bright apricot shade (a lot brighter than it appears here). (Other favorite shade – Tres Leches)

#3. Wearing Soft Matte Cream in “San Paulo,” which is a matte true raspberry shade. (Other favorite shades – Antwerp & Istanbul)

NYX wins my personal award for favorite lip products!! They’re so cheap that you can buy 4-5 different colors and they equal the amount of 1 high priced department store brand! Love that they look like a million bucks on my lips without the high price tag.
