Day 2 of the 30 lipsticks in 30 days Project features another red lippie!
NYX Black Label lipstick – Opium
Opium is one of my favourite warm red lipsticks. Just like opium the drug, Opium the colour is intoxicating and a delight to my senses, adding a shot of color to an otherwise neutral look.
I pair Opium with neutral coloured eyeshadow and lots of black eyeliner and mascara. When the day is dull and dreary or when I’m feeling down Opium cheers me right up <- didn’t quite sound right eh? 😛
You can’t beat the glamourous feel of a red lipstick and you can’t help but smile when you look at yourself in the mirror 🙂
NYX Black Label lipsticks are US$7 and are not available in Malaysia but are available from various online sellers. I’m unsure if they are available in Singapore. You can see a more indepth review and some other swatches in my previous NYX lipstick review.
Watch out for a brand pick of Lancome L’Absolu Rouge lipstick tomorrow!
Stay beautiful,
Paris B

June 2, 2009 at 2:50 pmHi Paris. Just like you, sometimes I put bright lipcolor to brighten my day.
Or at least the lips are brighter 😀

With brighter lips comes a brighter day! 😀 Hehe… it does a lot for the self esteem eh?

June 2, 2009 at 3:18 pmvery nice red! I’ve never tried NYX’s Black Labels but LOVE their Round lipsticks 😀
Some makeup schools carry NYX products for sale to students but they’re way overpriced! The round lipsticks are about RM40 >.<

I’m playing with their round lipstick as we speak! Perhaps it’ll make an appearance 🙂 They shouldn’t jack up the NYX prices – its a great product but its only really great for the price I feel.

NYX is available at some Guardian stores in Singapore. I saw it at Paragon I think but I think Singapore girls can confirm this better. Thanks!
