I got this in sparkling nude.. which surprisingly doesn't have a separate review page for just the colour itself.PROS:the colour is gorgeous, if you're looking for a nude that has a hint of peachy-pinky-mauvey colour, then this it. It doesn't make your lips look dead, which I find most nudes do, and it won't wash you out.-the packaging is super cute and sleekthe formula is creamy and smooth and easy to applyCONS:it's not completely moisturizing, use a lip balm or gloss with itit dries your lips slightlyit was 8 $ CAN for a lippie... slightly expensive for a drugstore lipstick.

Maybelline Wetshine Diamonds was my favorite drugstore lipstick and I was so mad when they discontinued it. These NYX Diamond Sparkle lipsticks are the closest thing I have found, but miss the mark by being a little too sparkly. I have the shades Sparkling Nude which is kind of similar to Wetshine Cocoa Glow, but not as pink-its like a really sparkly Urban Decay ABC Gum if you remember it, and sparkling orange which is really a bright peachy coral similar to that orangish red that was released in the MAC Fafi collection or UD 5180 lipstick. So here's the breakdown:Pros: -Moisturizing, which is rare for a sparkle lipstick-Build-able color on the bright and dark shades-Does not look cakey or waxy like the round lipsticks-Not overly soft like the round lipsticksCons-Can cross the line from sparkly to frosty, especially on the lighter shades. However, The frost can be toned down with gloss, and when paired with a gloss, some sparkle still shines through. I like to pair these with BE Buxom gloss, but I think any sheer gloss would work, and I always wear gloss over lipstick. Still, it be better if these had just a little less frost.

I love this lipstick! I have two shades and both are wearable and glamorous looking. They are lightweight and packed with pigment and are frosty/shiny without being glittery. NYX is hard to find where I live and I just happened upon them when visiting a friend in another state and I wish I had picked up more of them. This is an inexpensive lipstick that looks expensive on. I'm going to have to go online and order more. You have to try this lipstick!!!!!!

Finally, I've found the gorgeous pink color I've been hunting for! I've been looking for a replacement for the Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds lipsticks in a particular shade of pink and haven't had luck yet... until now! I picked up the NYX Diamond Sparkle Lipstick in "Rose" at my grocery store for about $5. I am very impressed! Packing is simple, but works and looks fine. I loved that the lipstick isn't scented and doesn't have that gross waxy lipstick scent. The "Rose" color is like a very wearable Barbie pink, like a pretty pink flower color. It's a like a cool/neutral medium pink. It isn't super bright and comes off very soft when on the lips... very pretty for spring! I prefer lighter, more natural lip colors, but I have a hard time finding a nice petal pink that isn't too bright or doesn't show up at all. This is perfect! The shimmer isn't over-the-top and doesn't feel at all gritty. In fact, it's less gritty than the Wet Shine Diamonds that I was trying to replace. It feels nice on my lips and not at all drying. I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this lipstick in the "Rose" color. I'll certainly be buying a few more colors, but since I've been looking for my perfect pink for so long, I'm sure this will remain my favorite. It goes so well with my fair skin and also with a sunless tan! Another good way to describe the color is a bubblegum pink, yet a very wearable version that looks soft and shimmery. I've seen many ads in magazines for Maybelline lipsticks and other brands, but when I go see them in person, they don't look like that at all. Finally, I've found my HG pink lipstick :) Love love love it!

These lipsticks looked so pretty online I had to try a few colors. With my black hair and medium/tan complexion, I thought I'd look better in darker, deeper shades so I bought Sparkling Walnut and Sparkling Rust. Both lipsticks have lots of tiny glitter particles and are shimmery/frosty. Sparkling Walnut, while a pretty rosy-tan shade, was not quite as deep of a color as I would've liked. It was a tad too frosty for me but I'll still wear it now and then. I like Sparkling Rust a little better...but it looks a lot like the NYX Round lipstick in Topaz which I also own. Sparkling Rust is a shimmery bronze shade. Both are very pretty, just perhaps not as deep of a shade as I would've liked. I would still try other colors, possibly.
