I've been looking for a cheap nude lipstick for the rare occasions that I wear heavy eye makeup and Peony was a clear winner! It's a shade darker than my NC40 skin, which keeps my lips from looking like I simply applied foundation over it. I love that the pink undertones and the subtle purple shimmer add some life and make the color look healthy. It's a tad more slick and moisturizing than other Nyx Round lipsticks I've tried and the staying power isn't so great, but I'm not really complaining considering the price and color. It's pretty much the perfect nude lippie for me!

This is a very pretty pinkish brown color in the tube but it does not have much color once applied to the lips. It's probably because this is very close to my natural lip color. Almost MLBB if it were a tad lighter and more pigmented. Very subtle, can be used for an everyday look. However, probably will not purchase again though the price is very good.

Of all the NYX Round Lipsticks I ordered this is close to the bottom of the list. This is only because I prefer a lip color with more...COLOR! If MAC Spice lip liner were a lipstick, this would be it.In my opinion this exactly the color of Spice liner with a tiny bit of pinkish shimmer. The shimmer does not show up once applied to your lips but it looks pretty in the tube.Not a bad color at all, just not my thing. If you like a nude lip you will probably really like this color.

This lip color just looked ok on me. It's a pinkish-nude light brown shade and looked so pretty on the nonpareilboutique website that I just had to try it. It's not a bad color; it just doesn't do anything special for me. I think it would work better for fair complexions or those who like nude lipstick shades--neither of which describe me. On me, Peony just looked like the shade of my lips. It looks a little better with some lip gloss on top, however. I added E.L.F. lip gloss in Goddess and it added some oomph to it.

Surprisingly, although the color in the tube look like another tan colored but this turns out as a nudish-pinky-light brown color on my pigmented lips (I'm nc40 asian btw) maybe it's the purple speckles they add that turns the color into pink. Since I was looking for a nude lip color that doesn't make me look like I've drink up a bottle of foundation, this color is just perfect, nude color that doesn't make me look pale.Plus the formulation is creamy and doesn't dry my lips. I've taken one lippie because the staying power is badddd....but since it's hard for me to find the right 'nude color', definitely will buy again when this product runs out. UPDATE : sadly, I have to take out 4 lippies because apparently this lipstick contains ingredients of I don't know what that causes me to have mild allergic reaction to my lips. It's itchy and sting my lips. will not buy nyx round lippie again :(EDIT AGAIN : I was trying again the lipstick and no allergic reaction this time! been using this for more than a month almost on a daily use (I love the color so muchhh...), so I'm upping the lippies into 5
