I Tried the NYX Macaron Lippies Everyone’s Obsessing Over
BY: Favin the Maven |Aug 6, 2014
Earlier this year, NYX Cosmetics debuted their highly anticipated Macaron Lippies, a collection of 12 lipsticks inspired by the colorful French confections. They’ve been pretty much impossible to come by in stores, so I finally relented and ordered them online. Three of the dozen hues were sold out on NYX’s website when I placed my order (black, white, and violet), but the other nine shipped out to me in a cute lace pouch with a complimentary lip liner!
Read on for my personal verdict on each hue—although, to be fair, I think my golden complexion had a lot to do with how all of these look.
The Yeses:#09They call it: Lavender
I’m calling it: Easter Egg
Why I like it: It reminds me of the old-school supermodels. This one might be my favorite.
#04They call it: Blue Velvet
I’m calling it:Smurf BlueWhy I like it: This one had the strongest pigment. I didn’t need much, and I ended up looking surprisingly un-frostbitten.
#08They call it: Earl Grey
I’m calling it: Iceberg. It’s more icy blue than gray.
Why I like it: It feels gothy and high-fashion—I bet this is what Lorde will wear once she runs out of dark purple.
The OKs:#01They call it: Rose
I’m calling it: Miami Grandma
Why it’s meh: It’s not a bad color, I just have a terrible aversion to Pepto pinks.
#06They call it: Pistachio
I’m calling it: Teenage Teal
Why it’s meh: When I was 16, I wanted teal everything, even a car. I guess I grew out of it.
#03They call it: Key Lime
I’m calling it:SlimerWhy it’s meh: It’s a fun color for, say, a wicked witch costume. But maybe not for everyday.
The Nos:#02They call it: Orange Blossom
I’m calling it: Flesh
Why it’s a no: It looked bright in the tube, but matched my skin too closely and didn’t go on well.
#10They call it: Black Sesame
I’m calling it:StormWhy it’s a no: It gets props for evoking X-Men, but makes me look like I was struck by lightning.
#07They call it: Citron
I’m calling it: Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Why it’s a no: Did you see the picture? Not even if I was a bumblebee on Halloween. Not ever.

For me, both beauty and fashion need to be accessible and not intimidating. I love a great deal and a good DIY beauty treatment. I pride myself on trying new trends, being open minded and getting a great treatment without breaking the bank. In the name of beauty I will try anything once.
