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
Yes. They are available in Sg.
The colour looks good on you!
Hi xYx
Thanks for confirming the availability in Singapore!
Hi Paris. Just like you, sometimes I put bright lipcolor to brighten my day.
Or at least the lips are brighter 😀
Hi Indira
With brighter lips comes a brighter day! 😀 Hehe… it does a lot for the self esteem eh?
very 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 >.<
Hi Connie
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.
Wow… becos of your blogposts, I’m starting to be a convert to red lippies, PB! Never really pictured myself in real red lipstick before, but hmm… why not, eh? *grin*
red does suit you!!! the color is so pretty! 🙂 I am leaning on reds too! YAY!
Hiya Nikki
Hurrah for red lipsticks! 😀
i read xYx’s words! but where in s’pore does NYX available?
after reading 2 post of lipstick review, i found out: red lipstick really is “your” lipstick! keep going gal!
Hi a.min
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!
That color looks gorgeous on you!
Hi fabulessbeauty
Thank you
oh another red… you wear red so wear and that makes me jealous. i need to see you wearing a pink or orange so i can feel better. lol
Hi jojoba
More reds coming up since its my colour! haha… There will be some pinks but it isn’t really me.
darn… i though you would have other colours than red…
Lovely! Did you use one layer or two?
Hey Karen
I used 2 layers for this one.
