I recently found a display of these newly packaged NYC Liquid Lipshine glosses and couldn't resist them. I previously had tried this line but had a big problem with leakage from the old square tubes and didn't like the applicator. I truthfully thought it was an entirely new product (the colors in the line are new) until I sat down to look up the product info. I like that they are revamping products including the names. I like that they try to keep to an NYC theme, it is much more memorable than previous ones.

The new packaging is about a million times better (if you don't remember the old one check this out). The applicator is now a longer than normal doe foot which has some nice bend to it (I tried to capture this below, I think I failed!). As for the scent my husband says they smell like cake batter (my sniffer is still broken from being sick). The texture is lovely in my opinion, not too sticky or slick. No tingling or anything like that. I never test wear time on gloss because it lasts about 10 seconds for me no matter what.

It's available in 1o shades, I found them at Rite Aid but haven't spotted them anywhere else yet (including other Rite Aid's). Here is the product page, they sell for around $2.49.

If you like these let me know, I will swatch all my reds and everything else for ya!

Can you really have too much lipgloss? I think not.

Just a simple boring lipgloss swatch, can you tell I'm a sucker for packaging?

Can anyone blame me for getting really excited when I spotted these tubes? I'd never tried anything from Jesse's Girl before but when I saw these I knew I had to have them. Liquid Crystal glosses are unlike anything else I've seen, they are prismatic and flash various pretty colors as you move them in the light. Violet changes from pink to lilac to blue. It's kind of hard to explain. The only two left at Rite Aid were Violet and Wicked, I'm not sure what other colors they carry but here are the two I now own:

Wicked, and this may be weird, reminds me of fish scales. Something about the gold-green sheen it has.

I don't really have much to say on these, they are alright but nothing I would purchase again. They aren't overly slick or sticky, just blah. (and truthfully I hated the color of Overtime Wine).

It claims to last up to 8 hours but it's a gloss, if you eat/drink/kiss/talk a lot or like me rub your lips together every 2 seconds it won't last anywhere near that long.

I've had these waiting for a review for awhile and am just finally getting to them! L'Oreal Infallible 6 hour Never Fail Lipgloss has been out a little while but I only recently decided to give it a try. I picked up 3 shades: Plumped Pink, Posy and Rebel Red.

Now the first thing I have to point out is that to me the thought of a 6 hour lip gloss is a little absurd. Gloss is known for wearing off and needing reapplied and I'm not gonna lie, I don't mind.

Now when I pull the wand out of the tube this is what I'm greeted with:

Maybe I'm pervy or it really does resemble...nope...gonna keep my mouth shut lol! (but my husband just came up behind me and agreed without me saying anything!) This applicator is kinda large and clumsy. Not such a big deal for the pale shades for the for the red? What a pain. These also have two formulas supposedly, the normal one (Posy and Rebel Red) and a red cap one (Plumped Pink) which is supposedly a plumping formula but I can tell no difference in anything but the packaging. Also, the caps are supposed to have a "mirror" at the top but it's just a shiny cap and too small to really see in anyways.

The texture of these is disgusting. When first applied it isn't so bad, just sticky. Not like a MAC lipglass (which I also dislike but is standable) but just...sticky. The shine is pretty good, nothing grand but for everyday wear it is perfect. Once it "sets" though it is worse, sticky and "gummy" My lips stick together and the shine dulls down very quickly. I feel like when you blow a bubble in your gum and it pops and sticks to your lips. Ugh, gross.

As for 6 hour wear...what a bunch of bull. This is gross and gummy within 5 minutes, the longest it lasts is about an hour if I can stand it. If you try to wipe these off after application with something like a tissue be prepared for it to stick horribly to your lips. Also, with Rebel Red the shade you see in the swatch is when it is first applied, if it only looked that good after 5 minutes. The shade doesn't just sheer down it becomes uneven and blotchy (and don't forget the shine disappears!). Blech, big disappointment.

Here are my swatches, these are all freshly applied. Don't let their looks deceive you: stay away from these! They sell for around $10 in drugstores and for that price you can find wayyyy better drug store glosses or for a couple dollars go for a high end gloss. I never use these because I feel like I have to reapply more than usual to keep from the gummy texture and they just aren't worth the trouble.

While I sat at my computer and drooled over the new MAC Superglass collection I pondered why there was never a drug store answer for anything I really truly wanted. This time it was super shiny and uber sparkley lipgloss. So when I walked into my CVS and saw the tubes of Milani 3D Glitzy I was over-joyed. I typically like Milani glosses so I was in love with these the instance I picked them up.

To tell the truth I HATE MAC glosses because of that disgusting overly sticky texture. It clings to my lips and highlights every bit of dryness that is on them and just does not wear well for me. I'm glad I found these, I can't afford the $18 price tag of a MAC gloss at this point either. These are probably more similar to their Dazzleglass from what I have seen but I don't have any to compare it to.

The texture is good, not too runny and not too sticky. Just like I like my glosses. I have 5 of the 7 (and I wish I could find a tube of that blue Movie Star but I've checked everywhere) and here are my swatches:

I will also mention that these pretties were out of stock forever at my CVS's, not sure how hard they are to find elsewhere. They retail for around $6.99 each.
