Dupes and similar shades
I would not call any shade an exact NYX Butter Gloss Bling Hustla dupe without side-by-side swatches. Compare by mutedness, undertone balance, reflectivity, and how much depth the gloss keeps on your lips.
The closest options will likely come from muted taupe-rose and neutral brown gloss shades, not bright pink or very deep brown glosses.
