I have recently discovered that I own an obscene amount of lip products. In an effort to downsize without having a blog sale or burning all the makeup in my possession in a bonfire, I thought it would be a neat little idea to take inventory of my lipsticks, glosses and stains.

| NYX Extra Creamy Round Lipstick in Orange Soda LSS588 |
One of those lipsticks where the color appears almost exactly the same as the tube and a hand swatch. On my hand, it looks a tad dry and highlights the lines of my skin. However, on my lips it seems to fill up my lines quite nicely. I don't often have dry lips so I didn't need a balm prior to putting this one. The color is quite a bit lighter than my original lip color and gives off a cross between the wrong shade of lip concealer and dead person on me, probably due to my Asian skin tone. Not a lip color that I would personally pick for myself, ever, as I don't see an occasion that requires me to look like a corpse. It isn't drying but not particularly moisturizing, either. When I smoosh my lips to even out the color, it slides around a little too much for my liking and results in a patchy finish. I find that if I keep my mouth closed even for just a few minutes, the color will settle and form a very obvious line on my lips.
