As you know, the NYX soft matte lip creams have been out of stock for ages! I have become so obsessed with matte liquid lipsticks recently and have wanted to get my hands on more colours from the NYX range. Whilst browsing a couple months back I came across these- Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcreams. I'm always up for trying out new (unknown) brands, so I gave these ones a go.
I was able to find them in 5 different shades which are named by numbers;
These Manhattan shades make great NYX dupes as listed below. So if you can't get hold of NYX, give these a try.

Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcreams
The Manhattan lip creams are exactly the same as the NYX soft matte lip creams with the coloured tube which represents the colour of the lip cream, a doe-foot applicator, vanilla scented product and a super creamy formula. Once applied, the formula will look a little glossy but it dries matte within a minute. Like many matte lip creams, they are not very hydrating so I would recommend a moisturising balm underneath.
I would definitely recommend these lip creams. They are so affordable, easy to get hold of and have a gorgeous matte finish (without leaving it looking patchy!) They lasted on my lips for roughly 4-5 hours and slightly came off in the inner part of my lips after eating and drinking, which I expected.
