Castle is a light lavender-plum with a shimmery pearl finish.

The main thing to note about NYX's Extra Creamy Round Lipstick formula is that it is very thin and very slippery. It sticks to your lips well, and gives you good opacity, but it feels like it shouldn't. It is the wateriest lipstick I've ever worn. It does come off fairly easily if you eat, drink, or wipe your lips. I just carry the tube around with me and I haven't had any issues with it.

CONCLUSION

It's a nice lipstick. I really love the color and finish of this lipstick, especially if worn with bronze-gold eyes (as you can see above). It's a very cheap lipstick but you do get decent quality so I find it very worth it.
