So NYX lipglosses are supposed to be really amazing, etc etc. I pick this one up six months ago and I really love the colour. Its a beautiful & rich burgundy colour that makes my lips look very seductive (in my mind at least!)
So here are some things to know about this gloss:
- Very richly pigmented.
- It smells a little like cherry flavoring.
- Goes on smoothly and stays longer that most glosses because it is so dark.
- Not sticky.
- Problems: the colour bleeds after some time!! That is my only issue with this gloss - if I use it just as a gloss with no prepping of the lips before, the colour can bleed after a while.
The colour is very intense and cannot really be worn all the time. So I was kinda wondering what to do with this gloss and I came up with an idea. I dabbed just a teeny bit on my finger and spread it on my lips as if I were applying a lip balm! It looked great and basically showed up as a lipstain!! It gave my lips a healthy flushed look which I am loving!! Plus there is no issue of bleeding and getting on your teeth.
So tip of the day: To make a dark gloss wearable for any time: use it as a lip stain! So without further adieu, I present some pics for you!
