NYC Lip Sliders

This is another item i picked up at Dollar Tree for $1 a few months ago. I had been curious about the NYC Lip Sliders for a long time but i couldnt find them anymore!

This particular shade is Pink Sugar, a warm deek pink. It gives lips a healthy flush but isnt 100% pigmented so they color payoff isnt amazing.... however, it is a gloss and not a lipstick so thats to be expected. These are a tad thick/sticky and i have a feeling if left in a purse, car, etc where its hot they would def. melt.

Overall i'd give this a 7/10 if i had to rate it, but it was worth the $1 i paid for it.

Maybelline ShineSensational in Mad About Melon

I purchased this a couple months ago at Rite-Aid in a small haul and i mainly picked it up 1) it was new, and 2) i love anything melon! LOL.

Sadly, im disappointed with this gloss. The gloss itsself is a pretty orange/peach shade with multi-colored shimmer that smells like cantaloupe - but its VERY STICKY which i absolutely hate. The first time i put it on my lips were sticking together and i was like OH NO!!


Overall the shades for these are super cute and great for Summer but the formula is bad :(

Lip Smackers Coca-Cola Lipgloss

I bought this super cute tasty gloss a while back at Rite-Aid for roughly $4. It smells/tastes EXACTLY like Coca-Cola soda! It's a multi-colored shimmer in a super sheer nude base. The gloss itsself is actually very moisturizing and its amazing for everyday use because of how neutral it is. Lip Smackers also sells these glosses in other soda flavors :)

AVON Color & Gloss Duo in Sunset Glow

A few weeks ago i put an order in through AVON, where my husband works, for a Foundation Adjuster, and a Color & Gloss Duo in Sunset Glow. Because he gets a discount I purchased both for under $5 total.

This is the Color & Gloss Duo in Sunset Glow. Its a warm peachy-pink lipstick and gloss. This product is very interesting in the sense that it can be used a few different ways and it gives you two products in one travel friendly case. These also come in various other shades.

Ways You Can Use The Duo's

1. Wear the lipstick alone.
2. Wear the gloss alone
3. Wear the lipstick underneath of the gloss
4. If you have two or more Duo's you can switch out the gloss compartment on the bottom for another shade from a different duo

PROS
lipstick is VERY creamy and silky
gloss is not sticky at all and has high shine
travel friendly 2-in-1 design
affordable, $6.99 each for both products. (on sale right now for $4.99)
comes in a few different shade combinations
multiple ways to wear/use it

50/50
Because AVON isnt a drugstore or store-sold product it may be harder for some to find. - You can order through a Representative or online at shop.avon.com.

CONS
None!

I was surprised at how much i liked these, because if you've read some of my posts before (especially for the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams) you'll know how much i hate lipsticks and glosses - usually. This duo, even when using both products, is never heavy or sticky on my lips and it's very moisturizing. The color pay-off is great and overall i really like this duo. I've already ordered more!! lol

NYC Liquid Lipshine Swatches & Comparison

Click any image to enlarge it.

 

 

A while ago i bought my first NYC Liquid Lipshine, which was Brighton Beach Peach. Since then i have bought 3 more so i figured i would show them all to you side by side for comparison. I have found these at CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, WalMart, Kmart, Dollar General, and Family Dollar.

NYC Liquid Lipshine
Brighton Beach Peach - Sheer peachy-pink shimmer
Prospect Pink - Bright pearly pink shimmer
Nude York City - Sheer pale nude shimmer
Wine N Dine - Deep plum shimmer

Price: $2.50-$3 each (comes in more shades)

Product:
All of these are a tad sticky, but only if you apply them super heavy. If you apply a sheer-medium amount they aren't very sticky at all. Pigmentation varys with shades which is nice because there's a gloss for everyone. Some are sheer, some are medium, and others are full coverage and give a lot of opacity. So depending on what you like, theres a gloss for you. Each gloss has a vanilla-caramel scent and a high shine finish as well as a straight flexible wand.

Overall I like these a lot but i really have no use for Wine N Dine, unfortunately. It's much to dark for me although it is a very pretty shade. I may try toning it down somehow or wearing it super sheer. We'll see. These are definitely worth the $2.50 i paid for them and i would highly suggest them if you're looking for a new gloss.

C.O. Bigelow Organics Moisturizing Lip Shine in 'Golden Peach'

I bought this C.O. Bigelow Organics Moisturizing Lip Shine in 'Golden Peach' for $7.50 from Bath & Body Works a few weeks ago on a whim. I have never tried their glosses or balms and decided since peach is my fav i should give them a try!

This lip gloss is not thick or sticky at all, its very moisturizing and light feeling on the lips but it does give a pretty shine! The shade is pretty sheer, it isnt really noticeable. The flavor "Golden Peach" is basically self explanitory, lol, its smells/tastes just like peaches!

Overall, this is a really nice product! If i bought anymore i would probably re-purchase this one instead of trying something new.

Victora's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in More Mimosa

Victora's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss in More Mimosa is the first VS lip gloss i ever bought!!! I got it about a month ago in the 2 for $12 sale (along with the Soothing Lip Balm in Pretty Buff). More Mimosa has a sweet orange sherbet scent, the gloss itsself is a little too sticky for me but it isnt ridiculously heavy or goopy. Overall, i like this gloss alot more than some others than i own but the VS Soothing Lip Balms are 10x better!
