Oh, yummy, is all I can say. You can't go wrong for $4.

When I made my recent trek to an Ulta, I bought two colors (they had very little selection and do not sell NYX through their website, darn!). (On my second visit they had a good selection, but only 1 or 2 of each color.) You can find them at cherryculture. The online color selection looks like there is a great range. Another color I'd like to try is Copper Sparkle...Ginger Sparkle...Orange Sparkle (why not!) ...Rose Sparkle ...I can't choose just one. Now if only the Ulta was nearer to me, I'd check it out again. Why pick the same o same o, when it is reasonable to try something totally different. I might love it!

I took these first two pictures down. Next time I wear them, I will update the photos.
Fuchsia
Just what you'd think -- gorgeous!

Paprika
This photographed to the pink side, but it is really more apricot.

Wow, these are great colors. In the wand, they look metallic, similar to some of the Mark metallic glosses (which I can't find online any more.) They cover well, but are not quite as opaque or metallic as the Mark's are. They are definitely a gloss and not a liquid lipstick. They feel so much better than the Rimmel I talked about the other day. They feel great and moisturize well. Two hours later, it is still holding up well, not migrating, and -- did I say -- feeling great.

Have you tried these? what colors have you tried? Do you love them as I do?

Here's Pink Sparkle
Light, bright almost orchid shade. I've rimmed it with a Lancome Starlight. See the technique here.

Here's Copper Sparkle:
It looks like a beautiful rose copper in the tube. Rimmed with Clinique Whisper, also dotted in the middle.

You know, when these are so good, you don't need to spend the money on a Chanel. For the price of one Chanel, you could have several of these. Go for it!

5 for color
5 for staying power, do not migrate
5 for formula, metallic with a bit of sparkle shimmer, but not frosted
5 for no taste or smell, but no ingredient taste/smell either
5 for the feel, simply yummy
I'll say it again, my lips feel great!
