NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss

Well I'm back in action after yesterday's perfume fiasco so it's time to start reviewing one of my latest purchases.  I'm an avid reader of fashion magazines and beauty blogs and many rave about a cosmetic line called NYX.  Founded in 1999 and based in Los Angles, NYX offers us the latest and the great colors and shades, while not compromising on quality (or at least that's what I've heard).  So I headed down to my local Ulta to pick up....what else......a lip gloss!

I grabbed NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Sponge Cake and decided to take it for a test run today.  First, the color is more on the sheer side, so if you're looking for a pure pigmented color, this isn't it (although I did see a matte lip gloss offering by NYX so not all hope is lost).  It does offer a great amount of shine without your lips looking as if they were coated in oil.  It also wore very well - not sticky or tacky to the touch - it even passed my "hair caught in lip" test (meaning that if your hair blows upon your lip, it slides right off it).  My lips also stayed soft all day as well so there is obviously plenty of moisturizers in the formula.  I did have to re-apply throughout the day but let's be honest - all lip gloss are like this so to me, that wasn't a drawback.

At a price point of only $5.49 (at Ulta) you really have nothing to lose.  I definitely plan on purchasing another color soon!

Talk to you all later!
