Thoughts: I kept seeing so many YouTubers reviewing this lip product from NYX. They kept saying they are testing the biggest lip product on TikTok at the moment. Out of curiosity, I had to try it out myself.

Here's a closer look at the color end.

Here's a closer look at the doe foot applicator.

Here's a closer look at the gloss end.

Here's a closer look at the brush.

Here's a swatch of the lip color on my hand. This is only the color end.

Here's how the lip color looks on me, both color and gloss.

Here's an overall look with Natasha Denona Mini Gold Palette.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's a slight scent while applying the color end. The gloss end I did not smell anything whatsoever. It smelled bland if that makes sense. It's hard to describe. I just sniffed the product and it smells like how it's applied. It's not my type of scent but it's doable. Secondly, the packaging is nice. I'm not a huge fan of double ended products like brushes and stuff. I actually did not mind with this product. I also like that the packaging matches the color of the lip product, and it's see through. If you own more than one, you can distinguish them apart. Also, you can see the product go down. With that said, it's well-made and sturdy. It's made out of thick plastic. Both the color end and the lip gloss are sturdy as well. I can feel a tight seal when I open and close. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For this reason, it's travel-friendly. It's easy to throw in your purse, bag, and even your pocket. It's also easy to hold with one hand. Third, the consistency is creamy and medium. It's not too thick that it's hard to work with. It's also not too thin that it runs while applying. It's a good consistency. With that said, it's easy to use. I apply the color end and wait about 30 seconds to a minute. While waiting, make sure you don't smack the lips together. It has a slight tackiness. If you smack the lips together, it might look streaky. Then I apply the lip gloss. It removes the tackiness and makes the color end smooth. Since it adheres to the lips, you need to prep beforehand. It's like a liquid lipstick with a gloss. It's not sticky, not greasy, and I find it slightly uncomfortable. The gloss seems a little thick for my taste. Then again I haven't wore glosses in a long time. That might make a difference. Once the color end has adhered to the lips, it's transfer proof. You will not see the color anywhere, but you will see the gloss on things. I saw shine on cups and so on. Also, the color end has a doe foot applicator which makes the tip easy to outline the lips. I filled the remaining with the flat surface. The gloss end has a nail brush look. Fourth, the color is a neutral brown. It's great all year round, as well as, for daytime. Pigmentation-wise it's up there. One layer was good enough for my skin tone. Lastly, it lasted until I ate. I have a tendency to wipe my mouth while eating. For this reason, it doesn't last that long on me. I'm glad I got this product. It filled my curiosity but to be honest, it feels like a normal liquid lipstick except it's shiny. If I don't want a matte look, I will go for this product. Another thing I learned about myself, my taste has changed when it comes to color. This would be my go to color in the past but it didn't appeal to me. I found that interesting!
