Stunning red lips for 4 bucks? - Check it out!

We all want those gorgeous, luscious red lips that have a matte finish and feel smooth and creamy, don't we? No? Well, maybe it's just me, but I'm in LOVE with this look; it's like, BAM in your face - you can't stop looking at my lips - type look...a few months ago I NEVER would dare to play with this color, but hey, we all grow up some time don't we? I had gone on a bing-makeup spree recently at ulta and this just so happened to be the very last tube of the NYX stay matte lip cream in "spicy".  It spoke to me from the shelf where it sat crooked, looking like it's been picked up 10 times and put back 10 more.  I contemplated, I put it down, I picked it back up, and ultimately I brought it home, and I am SO glad I did.

So, what do YOU need to know about this stuff? A few things - first, it's dirt cheap, for about 4 bucks you can pick this baby up in store or online.  Second, it is super pigmented - the second you touch this stuff to your lips it is in your lips it is bright freakin' red.  It IS named spicy for a reason, after all.  Third, it is not exactly a long-wearing lipstick (at first)...it does dry out a bit after wearing it which may not appeal to everyone.  After a few hours I find an application of simple lip balm can re-hydrate your color and keep it going strong.  I really like this stuff for the price and this COLOR - I just cannot say enough about this red....hot, that is all.
