Hello lovelies,if you are a lipstick person like me then this post is for you because today i am going to share my thoughts on the So Matte Lipsticks by Nykaa. I am sure you all know about Nykaa,it 's one of my favorite websites to shop for Makeup and Beauty products although they have grown so much with time that it's kind of overwhelming whenever you check the website,they have so much on their website so it was very exciting to see them launching their own line of makeup products and they started with Nail enamels and i have few of them and i really like them but recently they launched their So Matte Lipsticks and today i am going to talk about them,also they have recently added 8 more shades in the So Matte Lipstick line and those are called the Fall Winter collection and i have purchased two of them so wait for my next post to see swatches of them but for now let's get started with this post.
They had launched 12 shades in this range,there is a good range of shades be it pinks or nudes,reds or deep dark shades like this one,there is something for everyone.I really liked this deep dark purple-ish plum shade so i had to pick it up.
Packaging
Initially when i saw the launch the thing intrigued me the most was the packaging.I wanted to buy these lipsticks just because of the packaging because these are the first affordable lipsticks which have magnetic packaging,there are a lot of High End brands with these kind of magnetic packaging but everyone can't afford that nor do i,so i was excited that Nykaa has launched a lipstick with a magnetic closure.However the packaging is no way near to the High- end Brands and that's very obvious because the price range on these is very affordable so you cannot expect a Dior or Chanel packaging from them so considering the price range i found them pretty decent.
The lipstick comes in this beautiful watercolor print cardboard box which is coordinated to the nykaa logo.
The lipstick comes in a square shape matte black tube which has nykaa logo in silver color and on top it has N written in the same font.The name and no. is written down below on a silver sticker, also on the box with a color coordinated sticker.The cap is magnetic so when you put the cap it closes with the help of it,however i feel that the magnet is not strong enough to hold the cap intact,there might be a chance that your lipstick can open up in your handbag while travelling. Although i really like the magnetic packaging i do not feel that it's enough secure and tight.
Since this is a creamy formula it's quite moisturizing but i won't say that it's hydrating for the simple reason that these do not dry out your lips but do not provide extra hydration either and after a while the shine and the color fades quite evenly.
I am loving this lipstick especially for the winter time,it's very comfortable,doesn't dry out the lips,doesn't accentuate the fine line and dry patches,incredibly pigmented,glides smoothly.I am thoroughly enjoying this formula in this winter season although i still feel that they shouldn't have launched this product as claiming it to be So Matte because it's not, apart that i do not have any problem,the color range is good the packaging is nice,so i would highly recommend you guys to try out at least one shade if you are looking for a comfortable lipstick for this season,also i would suggest this formula for the lovely moms out there because my mom loves to wear dark shades and in this season it feels little uncomfortable to wear matte shades ,so initially i bought this lipstick for her but now i am also enjoying this formula so much that i have bought Spiced Cabernet and Mulled Wine from the fall and winter collection so check out the swatches of them which i am going to do in my next post.
If you are planning to get these lipsticks or you have already got them then lemme know how you like it :)

Formula
Lemme tell you right away that these are not matte at all as the company claims it to be.These lipsticks are more of a creamy lipsticks,i would not say that these are semi-matte because these have a lot of creaminess and shine to them and despite knowing that they are not matte i got this formula because currently we are in winter season and this season is not at all suitable for matte lipsticks although some people like wearing matte lipsticks and that's completely fine but because i have dry lips already i don't want them to make the situation even worse, also dry and chapped lips doesn't look nice at all,so basically i got this formula for these winter months and i don't mind it being creamy.

The one i have is a deep berry purple-ish shade so it can last 3-4 hours pretty easily,on me it was intact for almost 2 hours and then it started fading,if you will eat or drink it will transfer and fade pretty quickly since it's a creamy formula.The shade i have stains the lips significantly however i cannot say about the lighter colors but this surly does,so if the color is completely gone you are still left with some color on your lips because of the stain and i am fine with it.
