Wow. SMS is really close to CoC. I know that the shimmer is a difference but in this pic it's a negligible one. Thank you for swatching them for us.Send Me Sailing, Totally Fab, CoC, Nitrolicious
And the reason it looks so sketchy in most lip swatches is because it takes FOREVER to apply and add layers. Even with it being warm I had to keep adding and adding!

That's great! Thanks CartoonChic!
The NYX lipsticks I have don't smell like the NYX lipglosses.

I love shopping at ASOS, but never thought to buy makeup from them.
Flash of Flesh looks beautiful. I'm still going to wait. I'm going to cover my eyes nowFoF, NYX Sponge Cake, Dynasty at Dusk(so much for waiting to buy these lol)

I had such a hard time trying to show the difference lol. In the tube of course there is a world of a difference but it doesn't matter if it basically looks the same on!

I went on a google hunt once I found out that there might be a dupe for CYY, and I was lead there! Completely love that they have discounts and I can use it on the makeup. So glad they opened a US shop.

Thanks. The smell was the only reason I haven't tried their lipsticks. Their lipgloss smells like cherry cough syrup to me and I can't stand it. I need to make a trip to ULTA. Now you've opened up a can of worms!

My gut told me to pass on CoC b/c of the similarities. It looks really pretty but I have SMS and I tend to wear ls's more than lg's. I think it's the hair thing. I have trouble with my hair sticking to my non matte and satin lippies as it is lol. Thanks again. Your swatches are greatly appreciated.

LOL, I know tons of people hate the smell of the NYX glosses, but I LOVE IT! To me it smells like the canned Cherry cupcake frosting.. yum yum yum! And I love how well they sit on the lips.Thanks.

The lipsticks DO have a scent but it's different from the lipglosses. I'd suggest getting maybe only 1 or 2 to start off with just to see if the scent is ok to you.Thanks.

I'm not sure if it's just my poor vision, but all of them look alike to me except for Totally Fab. I don't have that one, but I do have Send Me Sailing and Nitrolicious. Glad I didn't BU Cult of Cherry.Send Me Sailing, Totally Fab, CoC, Nitrolicious

Lol, thanks for pulling in the reigns! I was about to go a little crazy like I did with Revlon lipsticks.

LOL! It's so easy to go crazy on NYX seeing as their soooo reasonably priced. I only have a few of their Round Lipsticks though (the cheapest ones). Haven't tried any others yet.

They all do look close except TF of course.
CoC & SMS Totally different in the tube though.

I'm still waiting for my lipsticks to be delivered today. UPS usually gets here around 3-4pm. Time is just dragging its feet. I also got my shipping notice for my lipglass order. I got one of each. The notice only shows the label creation, so I'm not sure of the delivery date yet. My guess is Monday, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if it's Friday. I got free standard shipping with the WINNER code. I was too cheap to spring the extra dough for 2nd day or overnight shipping.

Jete does have a noticeable pink tone to it. I really hope I catch it and MB going live like I did with the lippies. I was worried it would be dupeable with my Naked 2 palette but I don't think so. Plus, I honestly have no MAC regular pot shadows lol. I have an ancient palette from holiday 2003 (my first MAC purchase) and some of the EC's and some of the MES's from HC. Thanks for your swatches and pics.
