New From NYX, and It’s Intense! New $6 Intense Butter Gloss

March 13th, 2015 by Karen 22 Comments

NYX Intense Butter Gloss in Funnel Delight
Wearing NYX Intense Butter Gloss in Funnel Delight ($6, one of 12 shades)

Yesterday I wore one of NYX’s new $6 Intense Butter Glosses while eating a piece of intensely buttered brown bread at The Cheesecake Factory.

(You know their brown bread, right? Man, I LOVE that stuff.)

I usually go easy on the butter because, you know, I figure I’ll just have to run it off eventually, but they brought out two hot loaves, and I thought, “Gee…I’m eating intensely buttered bread while wearing Intense Butter Gloss.”

So I ate a lot. 🙂

Color me weird, but things like that bring me great joy. It’s all about the little things, you know? You gotta get your kicks where you can.

Anywho, these really do feel like butter on my lips — like I spread a thick, creamy layer of fresh churned butter (made by happy cows, of course) on my kisser.

I keep thinking that I’m going to have to do some cardio if I keep wearing them, badum tish!

They’re a brand new line, and NYX rolled out 12 intensely pigmented shades for spring.

So far I’ve tried three of the shades — a red called Apple Crisp, a hot pink called Funnel Delight and a nude called Tres Leches — and I think the red one and the hot pink are hella impressive. Vivid (so intense that your natural lip color will be buried under an avalanche of pigment), opaque, full-coverage, and they apply smoothly, too.

But for me, the nude was the real test, because I have naturally pigmented lips, and a lot of the time I have to jump through hoops to get nude shades to show up, but not this time. No concealer on my lips, no lip liner beforehand — nothing. Just my lips and the gloss. That’s it.

These also last a pretty long while — from 4-5 hours if I’m just hanging out at the mall playing hooky and buying shoes, but throw a meal into the mix and things change. In other words, if you’ll be eating heaps of buttered brown bread at The Cheesecake Factory while wearing these, you’ll have to reapply after the meal.

Additional bullet points for the official makeup record:

  • Scent/flavor: They smell and taste faintly of butter cream frosting (yum). I don’t think it’s obnoxious at all.
  • Applicator: Hell, yes to the flocked doe-foot, which really helps get the gloss all the way to the edges and corners of the lips.
  • Texture: They have a creamy, non-sticky, moderately thick formula.

And did I mention that you won’t have to promise your first born kitten to a shady warlock with a hunchback in order to put one of these in your purse? Because they’re only $6.

SIX DOLLA-DOLLA-BILLS, Y’ALL. Let us all dance upon a hilltop at dawn with flowers in our hair and pray that the makeup goddesses do a BOGO at Ulta ASAP.

PRICE: $6 each
AVAILABILITY: Available now online and at drugstores and Ulta

    All 3 look great on you — lovely portraits.

    I never figured out how to wear a pigmented gloss. Doesn’t it just smear and drip everywhere? Any tips?

      I’ve never had a gloss drip on me! They tend to stick to your lips pretty well. And I’m not a real bad lip rubber, but I feel like the smearing isn’t too bad, it’s mostly the tackiness that gets on my nerves. But in all they keep your lips hydrated and gorgeous, so I’d pick up one and give it a try.

    These are lovely. I love that they are inexpensive and the color really looks like it pays off.

    Ha, BOGO was my first thought too! So they didn’t smear outside your lips? That’s my biggest problem with most glosses. (Cailyn, I’m looking at you!)

      Hi Kirsten,

      Surprisingly no! I’m a lip rubber, too, and these didn’t smear.

      Have you ever tried using a clear lip liner? Those totally help with keeping the gloss from migrating.

        I haven’t! I’ve been looking more at matte lip stains like LA Splash, Fyrinnae and the evil LC. I haven’t actually bought any yet though. I have a lot of lip products I don’t use already.

    Wow, a nude that is opaque on pigmented lips? I will have to check that out. The whole concealer thing is just way to drying.

    This post made me hunt them down at my local Ulta. I love nude glosses and really wanted trees leches…my local Ulta was cleaned out of almost all the shades!

    So I picked up a regular butter gloss in angel food cake.

    I’ve been looking for these everywhere and they are always sold out or picked over. I was on the fence about tres leche but since it looks great on you I might give it a go. I think I’ll just order online

    I am definitely adding these to my Ulta wishlist! My lips are still recovering from an intensely dry winter, so I really need these butter glosses in my life!

    Oh wow that’s some crazy pigmentation! I love the regular Butter glosses already, I’ll have to check these out. I have the same problem with nude glosses, only my pigmentation isn’t even; I have kind of a natural lip liner going on.

Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
