NYX Cosmetics NYX Waterproof Full Throttle Lipstick,

I had been buying pricier lipsticks because I wanted matte without having it look dry. But I really didn't want to pay so much if I could find a drugstore product that would look as good as the more expensive brand. Most drugstore mattes, sadly, go on too thick and show every line on one's lips. NYX Full Throttle, however, gives the soft matte look that I like, has a decent color range, is long lasting -- and costs much less than what I had been using.

I purchased three shades of this lipstick: Loaded (described as a deep mauve, but is more like a maroon colour), Nightcrawler (much deeper than the swatch on the site), and Kiss the Dust (a lovely deep beige). The formula of this lipstick is amazing. It's creamy during application, but dries down to a very matte and waterproof finish quickly. Once it's dry, it's transfer proof. Very similar to a liquid lipstick, but without the difficulty to apply since it's in a stick form. My only complaints are that the beveled tip is not very useful and goes flat after one or two usages. Also I wish there were more product in the tube than the 2.4g (0.08oz). Overall I love this lipstick, and I hope they expand the line in the future with more shades!

Every time I experiment with another lipstick I'm disappointed. The coverage, lightweight feel, awesome color and lack of scent have made Full Throttle my signature lipstick. Please never discontinue it!!

I thought this lipstick many times and I can't seem to find it anywhere else Alta use to sell it but now I come here to get it and I'm so glad that they have it

I'm very much impressed with the formula of these lipsticks. Upon application, its very creamy and comfortable, then it dries down matte. BONUS POINTS for being smudge-proof & waterproof! I just wish they would have more wearable day to day colours, such as pinky nudes, mauves & warm beige.

I only got to use this twice because I dropped it and it completely broke and the lipstick part flew out & rolled under the bathroom cabinet! Anyways...I really liked the colour, formula and ease of application. It's great for the price! It's Matte but not drying at all. Really liked it for the 2 times I used it!

Bought of bunch as Christmas gifts and for myself. Goes on very smooth, like liquid silk and dries to a beautiful matte. Only flaw is that I found with the darker colours, it took a couple of layers to get an even colour. But still a great bang for your buck.

My lipstick was slightly smushed near the tip as soon as I unwrapped it. I've used it two times since then and, unfortunately when I tried to use it today, the whole lipstick broke off and flew across my bathroom while I was opening the tube. Very easy to break!

I bought three different shades of this product, to my horror they broke off as I twisted the lipstick up to apply. How disappointing and not really worth the money spent. If you do not mind the mess a broken lipstick can create, then buy get. They are very nice shades, and have terrific staying power.

was broken and lipstick complete dried, no moisture at all and its my favorite brand, looks like it has been store to long.
