"This is one of those things that got so hyped up on YouTube and on social media, and I could not have been more disappointed. But I understand that some of you do like this NYX Butter Gloss, so if that's you, you get four glosses, and I like that it comes with a clear, colorless one too."

"I found these NYX Butter Glosses to be underwhelming. I felt like they were far and away some of the worst lip glosses I've ever used."

"I can't resist lip glosses and whatnot and I've heard so many good things about these NYX Butter Glosses. I recently purchased a few of them and so far they're pretty good. But they do have flavorant in them, which is like, okay, I didn't need that."

"These NYX Butter glosses I was not impressed with you get a scented version of petroleum jelly um and then you get this little lip scrubber thing which I don't recommend using those because they can end up just worsening dry chap lips"

L'Oreal....this is just bad

"I bought these NYX Butter glosses because I'd heard such good things about them, and I'm kind of disappointed. They're not bad, the color is really pretty, but they don't stay on very long, like at all. They're deeply moisturizing, these aren't drying, but they do have fragrance in them which I find annoying because it's a common irritant in lip care products. I don't necessarily need the lip gloss to smell like creme brulee, but it is an enjoyable scent, I'll give it that."

"I've talked about these for years. The NYX Butter Glosses, they glide really well, it comes in a ton of different colors, it just never lets me down. It's not sticky, it's a nice consistency, glides well. I love that you have so many colors to choose from. It's so inexpensive, so if I forget this or leave it in a purse and need another one, I don't feel guilty having to buy more colors because they're so affordable. It's just a staple in my collection. I wear them all the time. They're so good. It's been around for a long time for a reason, because it's better than all the others."

"I have this NYX Butter Gloss in brownie drip and I'm gonna put it over the Baby Lip for a little extra. I often get asked, there was actually a point where I had all the butter glosses from NYX in my makeup kit. I still love them. It's been one of those glosses, it's been a favorite amongst makeup artists like the makeup community for so many years, it just never leaves, everyone still loves it. The way they feel on your lips is literally like butter, like melted butter is on your lips. It's so nice."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.
