The $50 NYX Lipstick Vault That's Giving Beauty Lovers Heart Palpitations
Gird your loins.

Lipstick vaults are having a moment. From Tom Ford's Lips and Boys to Urban Decay's Vice offerings, your collection isn't complete unless you've got a rainbow's worth of lip shades—and then some! However, sometimes the price tags can, well, bankrupt you, which is why it's no surprise that Nyx's new, easy-on-your-credit-card-bill Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Vault is a beauty lover's dream come true. Here's everything you need to know:
1. The lip colors are miniature. AKA perfect for on-the-go applications. At 1.6 ml, they strike a perfect balance between giving you enough product if you fall head-over-heels in love with a shade *and* being small enough in size that you can throw several in your bag if you just can't decide.

2. It boasts every shade under the sun. The vault contains all of their Soft Matte Lip Creams, plus two exclusive colors: Bancock and Los Angeles. From the fall-ready deep blues and browns to the poppy pinks and reds, it's the grown-ass-woman equivalent of having every Crayola in your box.
3. It's mind-blowingly affordable. And not just in comparison to the other lipstick vaults, which can set you back hundreds of dollars. It costs $50, which means you're paying just over $2 per color, and given the range you'll get, you're pretty much set for the foreseeable future.
4. It sold out, but is now available again?! Last year, Nyx's inaugural lipstick vault sold out within 48 hours. And given that this new one is even more wallet-friendly, it's no surprise that it sold out practically immediately. The good news is that it *appears* to be available again. But in case it's sold out, for the second third fourth time, by the time you finish reading this sentence, you can sign up for the Nyx newsletter to be the first to find out when it's back!
