I love this!! It's so pigmented and creamy! It has no taste and a slight play-doh scent, but not strong enough to bother me. It's opaque in one layer. And lasts a good four hours on me with drinking. If left without a lipliner it will bleed/feather slightly. I love lining and filling in my lips with a red lipliner then topping it off with this for shine!

NYX Absolute Red Xtreme Lip Cream ($5.99) is an opaque cherry/blood red lip color with a glossy finish. NYX Xtreme Lip Creams are a lipgloss/lipstick hybrid as the product is completely opaque with one coat, yet it has the texture and shine of a gloss. I'd compare the pigmentation to OCC Lip Tars, though these are much more moisturizing.Absolute Red is such a perfect, sexy shade of red, and I can't imagine it looking bad on anyone. It looks like a "Snow White" red with one coat and if I blot my lips with a tissue, it takes on a bright raspberry color (which is essentially what it fades to on me). With two coats, it takes on a deeper red-wine shade.The first ingredient in this gloss is Castor Oil, so if you're familiar with it, you can imagine the consistency. It's thick and moisturizing, yet it's completely non-sticky/tacky or greasy. Also, if you're familiar with the scent of Castor Oil, that's what the gloss smells like kind of woody/plastic-like, but I don't even notice it anymore.The lasting power is just as really good the red in particular is still on my lips after several hours (although it will fade slightly).Highly recommend checking this one out.
