N.Y.C. Cosmetics Extreme Lip Glider Lip Gloss in Park Ave Pink, Plaza Punch, Metro Mauve - swatches, pics, review

Hello, Beautiful!

I recently tried out three shades of the N.Y.C. Cosmetics Extreme Lip Glider Lip Glosses and I'm very impressed. For the price - $3.99 each - they are very impressive. They go on really smooth, are non-sticky, and very shiny. The shades look better on your lips than in the tube, and they smell great too!

N.Y.C. Cosmetics Extreme Lip Glider Lip Gloss Review:
I haven't gotten this excited over a drugstore brand lip gloss in a very long time. I can't believe I haven't tried these sooner; they're amazing - especially for the price!

In the tube they looked like just okay shades, but they really came to life on my lips. I ended up loving the way Plaza Punch and Metro Mauve looked, which I didn't think I would like. The shade Park Ave Pink was too sheer to see any color, but there was light shimmer and plenty of shine.

I was really impressed with how smooth they went onto my lips. The slant tip applicator applied the gloss perfectly; it was just the right size. This gloss is non-sticky, very shiny, and feels comfortable on my lips. My lips felt hydrated and conditioned, something that rarely happens from a drugstore brand lip gloss.

This gloss smelled great too! I couldn't put my finger on the scent... at first I thought it was strawberry, then green apple, but then when I went to their website I found out they use a melon scent. Whatever it is, it smells delicious!

Overall, YES, I would recommend these! I was floored with how good these were! I think they're beautiful, affordable, and super shiny - a must have for any budget conscious beauty junkie.

  3. I adore these and own of each. My faves are the Carnegie Melon and Chelsea Rose, as they aren't terribly powerful and I love that they actually moisturize my lips. :D
