NYX Lippies ♡

Hello! So, I ordered some of the very famous NYX Butter Glosses and a Butter Lip Balm online. I swatched them on my arm:
Butter Lip Balm - Ladyfingers

Butter Gloss - Devil's Food Cake

Butter Gloss - Maple Blondie

Butter Gloss - Raspberry Tart

Butter Gloss - Red Velvet

Butter Gloss - Apple Strudel


Lip Liner - 850 Nectar

When I swatched them on my hand, they were really pigmented. I believe all swatches contain just one swipe of product. When I applied the glosses to my lips, they were really glossy....almost too glossy for my liking, to be honest. 
Now, longevity is a different story than just applying the product and wiping it right off. 
I wore Red Velvet to go shopping over the weekend. I spent maybe an hour to get to the mall and when I arrived, I looked into a mirror and the product bled/feathered like crazy!! I was so shocked. I have never used a pigmented lip gloss, so I don't know if this is common in pigmented lip glosses? Or maybe it was that color only? I'm scared to try any of the others haha. I'm thinking that maybe the lighter colors won't feather as much.
The lip balm was my favorite! It applies really smoothly and it actually leaves color. I was skeptical because I've seen many "pigmented" lip balms that don't leave any color, but I was glad this one did. And it wasn't like lipstick, it was subtle yet noticeable.
Now, the lip liner, I did not order myself. I'm not sure if it was shipped to me by mistake or if it was some kind of bonus, but I'm not complaining haha. The color came out really weird in the photo above, but in person, it looks just as it does on the tip of the pencil. It's a copper color with a slight metallic sheen to it. It applies really smoothly, as well. 
Have the Butter Glosses feathered for any of you as well? I'd definitely love some feedback! 
Thanks for reading!
