Review: New NYC Extreme Lip Glider Lip Glosses

If you saw my drugstore report a few days ago about this new collection of NYC lipglosses, then you know that I was very excited to FINALLY see a new product from NYC (other than their seasonal color collections, I just haven't seen much from them in terms of brand new products lately).

I'm delighted to tell you that it was worth the wait, because these little Pixy Stix-shaped glosses are awesome!

NYC Extreme Lip Glider Lip Glosses (retail: $2.99):

The colors I purchased were Big Apple Red (top), and Chelsea Rose (bottom):

I put a CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine next to them so you can see how they compare in size:

As you can see, these NYC glosses have a plastic slant-tip applicator and I love how small the tip is because it allows you to apply your gloss with much more precision that a regular-sized slant-tip.

Here are some swatches on my hand:

These glosses pack a lot of pigment and sparkle even though they are sheer on application (as you will see in a minute).

So, how do I like these lipglosses? I LOVE 'EM! Here's why: first of all, they smell and taste exactly like a Watermelon Jolly Rancher. No joke--it's darn near identical! So fun. (But don't worry--if you don't like watermelon, the fragrance and flavor disappear after about 5-10 minutes.) Next, I love that even though those glosses are sheer, they are extremely pigmented (especially for a $2.99 gloss). Also, I LOVE the consistency. It's not too sticky, and not at all goopy. Literally, you can layer this gloss onto your lips with a VERY thick coating and it will not goop up in that area where your bottom and top lip come together. If you wear gloss, you know what I'm talking about!

I am a self-professed gloss eater and most glosses don't stand a chance at lasting more than 30 minutes on my fidgety lips. Since I have a bad habit of rubbing my lips together a lot when I wear gloss, I tend to really layer it on thick when I first apply it. Otherwise, I know it will be gone in 10 minutes. So what I love about this gloss is that I can put a very thick layer on and it looks fabulous with no goopy mess!

Here are some pics of both shades on my lips:

Big Apple Red

Chelsea Rose

Do you see that shine? It's amazing! I really, truly love it, and I cannot wait to go back and get some other shades. At just $2.99, I have to give this gloss my seal of approval as an official Bargain of the Day:

Congrats, NYC! These glosses are affordable AND they rock!
