Today I've got five additional shades to show you!
NYC Liquid Lipshines
(retail: $2.50)
Usually
when I receive several shades of a particular product for review, I can
easily pick out a favorite, and there are usually a few shades that
just don't work for me. So what's surprising here is that I truly love them all.
Three out of the five glosses here contain shimmer, but the shimmer in Fashion Ave Fuchsia and Nude York City is more of a subtle sparkle--no big chunky glitter. The shimmer in Brighton Beach Peach is that neat type of light-reflecting shimmer that helps keep it from being frosty. It's gorgeous in person.
Definitely enlarge this photo to get a better look:
If forced to pick a favorite, this is totally going to surprise you but I'd have to go with Fashion Ave Fuchsia. Shocking for me, I know!
Wine n Dine:
The
most opaque of the bunch, this one veers into liquid lipstick
territory, but without the heaviness of a liquid lipstick.
In person, this is a bit more wine-colored than my pictures indicate.
It's absolutely perfect for fall, and on my NC20 skintone it's not
overly bright or bold--it's really the perfect blue-based red lip for
me.
Fashion Ave Fuchsia:
Oh
where do I begin with this one? In the tube, it seems like a
super-bright fuchsia; the type I would normally pass right over at the
drugstore. But on my lips, this shade takes on a milky quality, yet it's
also got that pretty sparkle to it. It's just sheer enough to be
wearable for me, and even though I usually cannot pull off blue-based
pinks, the sheer milky quality of this one makes it so much easier to
wear. If you're afraid of fuchsias, I think this one might convert you.
Brighton Beach Peach:
Lots
of gorgeous light-reflecting shimmer in this one! I was so scared that
this peachy-nude was going to turn frosty on me, but NO. Not frosty at
all--just a beautiful, shimmery peachy-nude that works so well for me on
light makeup days.
Nude York City:
A
nude that doesn't turn chalky or look like concealer on my lips. Yes! I
love that this color has a touch more brown in it than other nude
glosses I own, which seem to have more pink in them. This one's so
versatile--great with no makeup or with a smoky eye.
I
hope this post helps those of you who are considering picking up a few
of these glosses--so far I have yet to encounter a shade that I wouldn't
wear on regular basis. They're just so easy and so wearable--especially
at just $2.50 a pop.

OOOO, looks GREAT. They look great on you! I might have to check these out, the colors are fab!
ReplyDeleteI love the NYC Liquid Lipshines! They went from my least favorite (pre-2011 relaunch) drugstore glosses to my most favorite. My favorite shade is Midtown Mulberry which has more of a creme finish. I love everything about them -- the consistency, colors, scent, applicator, and price.
ReplyDeleteNice, thank you! I have a lot of these and LOVE them (got one or two on sale w/ the new blush sticks, then went back and bought more, haha) but don't have all the ones you swatched - yet, that is :) Current favs I wear all the time are Honey on the Hudson and Big Apple Spice, followed by Rivington Rose and the two LE's from summer, Midtown Mocha and Cosmo Pink. I have Fashion Lane Fuchsia too, but it's quite bright and I'm not used to it on me yet. I need to get Wine and Dine now, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love the scent of these? mmmmm buttercream frosting... These are easily my favorite lipglosses now. I hope they bring out more colors, I'd love to see a true mauve and a coral. I wouldn't turn down a pinky-nude YLBB or brighter "pinup" type red, either.
i own nude york city and the peach shade.
ReplyDeleteif i do recall, they're a little too sticky for me.
i'll stick with my NYX lip-glosses..they're the best i've come across.
I definetly want Fashion Ave. Fuschia. I have Brighton Peach and love it and the other pink one but i cant remeber the name of it.
ReplyDeleteI have Midtown Mulberry! I love it. It's MLBB.
ReplyDeleteI bought all of these and love them. The only thing I'd change about them is to copy Chanel with the packaging... otherwise they are perfection!
ReplyDeleteI'm sold! going to be looking for these next time I need an inexpensive pick me up! I may end up with them all!
ReplyDeleteI bought Brighton Beach Peach 'cos I wanted a pale peach color, still on the search for one but that one's not bad
