Shade Descriptions
Transylvania – matte deep violet
She Devil – deep plum
Bewitching – burgundy with blue undertone
Temptress – deep royal purple
Russian Roulette – red with blue undertone
Fairest – pink beige
Enchanted – peach pink

I especially love Temptress, Transylvania and Enchanted.

I don’t think Fairest looks good on me. I think the rest of the shades look amazing.

When I wore Temptress out with friends, I got a ton of questions on what was I wearing, who made it, and people were pleasantly surprised to find out Nyx.

Have you tried any of these?

  1. As a lover of purple lipstick, and no small snob about what’s actually ‘purple’ (i.e. blue based violet, not red based – athough Transylvania is on my list 😉 )… I pretty much have to own Temptress. Also, I want it. Badly. Like, Yesterday.

  3. Ooooh! I’ve been majorly lemming the new purple NYX Wicked Lippies, but Temptress does look really good — and more pigmented than the lipsticks, from the looks of your swatch.

    AND of course Transylvania. Do you prefer the formula of the simply or soft mattes? (It looks similar enough to She Devil on hm screen that I’d go with the latter if the formula’s a lot better!)

    1. I really like the Simply formula, but I haven’t tried wearing Transylvania for more than 5 minutes. I need to see how I like it over a few hours. I love the simply because it’s comfortable to war for hours on end. And Yes Transylvania and She Devil do look similar in person.

      1. Thanks, lovely! I’ll keep that in mind when/if I make my order — NYX is HARD to get up here! We finally have access to most of the main line, but for anything else, it’s pretty hit and miss. Mainly miss 😛

  6. Loving the vampy colors! Temptress is so gorgeous. This is the next set I have to work on, now that I have the Wickeds and the Macarons. Thanks for the swatches.
