| NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Pink Rose (top) and Smoky Look |
A lot of the YouTube beauty gurus mention
NYX Cosmetics and I believe it's supposed to be a drugstore brand. However, I've never found it at any of the drugstores in my area (San Fernando Valley, CA). I purchased these two Mega Shine Lip glosses on-line at
Amazon.com for $5.50 each.
Ulta carries NYX too.
There's a wide variety of colors to choose from and I picked two: Smoky Look and Pink Rose. Smoky Look is a nude pinky-beige with subtle shimmer and Pink Rose is a vivid pink with a lot of shimmer. While these glosses are not opaque, they give my lips a nice wash of color. I was impressed by the quality. They are not sticky or tacky but they do provide a high shine. This is in contrast to my Guerlain Kiss Kiss gloss which is also shiny but much more sticky. The NYX gloss is not a long wearing formula so like many lip glosses, I have to reapply often if I want to have color on my lips all day.

The one thing that I am not too sure about is the flavor. The glosses have a strong fake cherry flavor that is very artificial. On the one hand, I'd rather have a lip gloss taste like fake fruits instead of chemicals. But on the other hand, the flavor reminds me of cherry flavored Nyquil. Overall all though, I would repurchase this lip gloss and I want to try other colors. I definitely think they are worth $5.50.

I have really been wanting to try out these lip glosses :)

Hi! Let me know what you think if you try them. I just bought another one in Natural which is a pinky brown nude with no shimmer.
