This formula was hyped up as being lip balm like, but I think that even back then when they lauched at least Max Factor's glosses beat these. Formula is comfortable, but it's thinner than my favourite lip glosses and it disappears from the lips quickly. If I compare it to the new Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Lip Glaze, NYX formula doesn't feel half as balmy. NYX launched a few lip oils in the last years, maybe those are richer. 

The brush is a regular one with a tapered and an irregular design. This is a mascara that adds a lot of length with one coat. It's also nicely volumising, it very decent at definition because it has good hold, so the lashes stay in place once the mascara is on. It can even hold my stubborn lashes curled a bit, which I appreciate given that it's a regular, washable formula. However, that hold also means it's one of those mascaras that leaves the lashes quite stiff - if you dislike that, their Big Bad Lash formula is softer and has a very similar effect (that one is another of my big favourites along with Max Factor's 2000 Calorie). 

Formula is nothing like a lip oil and I've tried a few. It's a thin, liquid formula that doesn't really feel like it will stick on the lips like a gloss. It feels more like a liquid blush and or a basic lip stain. It doesn't stay glossy long on the lips and it dries, leaving behind a stain. I've never been a fan of stain on my lips, as the always tint the inner central parts dark  and look uneven. Since this formula isn't hydrating, the tint catches on dry patches. The lips don't feel nourished after it dries and they look chapped. 

 

For me the formula is simply too thin and I prefer the comfortable formulas of Catrice's, Essence's, Milani's and A'Pieu's lip oils.
