“Featuring the brand’s latest viral product, Duck Plump High Pigment Plumping Lip Gloss,” it continues,

“The spot aims to flip the script on male stereotypes with a humorous look at the extreme plumping sensation of the gloss, which will leave audiences laughing.”

The brand also shared a 15-second teaser for the upcoming commercial, in which the “WAP” rapper investigates a tube of NYX gloss and says one of her viral catchphrases —

“That’s suspicious, that’s weird” — before applying the product to her lips.’

“Freaky!” she adds, giggling as the camera cuts to a screen reading “2.11.24.”

In conjunction with the ad, NYX has also released an exclusive new shade of the plumping gloss called Cherry Spice, which Cardi will model in the Super Bowl commercial.

Priced at $13, the shade is available only on the cosmetics company’s website.
