The butter lipsticks were released January of this year, and are listed for $6.00 on their Website. Here's the description as seen on the NYX website:

The unique texture seems to melt onto the lips, giving full, yet lightweight coverage with a luxurious satin finish. 
• What it is:  Full coverage lipstick that feels like it melts onto the lips.
• What it does:  Adds a pop of color to lips.
• Why we love it:  This lightweight formula is non-sticky and deposits high impact color with just one stroke.
• How to use:  Apply directly on bare lips or over lip liner/primer for more pigmentation.


Happy First Post!
