It was a little tricky using the applicator (which is fairly large) to color my lips evenly. The colors are gorgeous! You can find these $4.00 online at Cherry Culture or in Ulta stores for $4.99, not available at Ulta online.

I used the DuWop Reverse Liner to hold the color for colors that are darker or more intense.

Gold Pink 131
The color is deeper and more of a wine than the photo shows.

Chandelier 157
This is really a gorgeous color. The picture doesn't do it justice. A really great light-medium orchid pink with a lot of sparkle. Every bit as nice as Too Faced; maybe not quite as sparkly.

Crystal Red 152
This is a beautiful red, shot with a lot of tiny glitters, more vibrant than this picture shows. I love it!

Ice Princess
In RL this looks pinker, but it is still very light. It has a lot of teeny sparkles in it, but you don't really see them on your lips.

Juicy Cherry
This is a clear cherry, with no micro shimmers.

Silver Plum
This is a deep plum with silver micro shimmers, which makes it look iridescent.

African Queen
This is a beautiful irridescent magenta.

How does it feel?
More glossy than some of their other formulas, but very moist. I tried it just by itself, but it would be nice as a touch over other lippies especially if you wanted to bring some bling into them.

Color story
It comes in a wide array of colors. I'd be willing to bet all of them are wonderful. Whoever is the creative director behind their colors gives other expensive brands a run for their money!

How about you?
Have you tried this formula? what colors do you have?

My recommendation
These are certainly worth your while to try. If you pick a color you know is you, then you will be very satisfied. Go for it!

Check on this post often, because as I try another shade, I will update the pix.

Karin
5 for color and applicator (all their applicators are good)
5 for moisture
4+ for gloss feel, a little slippery, but still nice, not sticky at all
4+ for lasting power, it might migrate a little, but not much

Thank you! You just sold me on Chandelier and African Queen. I’ve been buying my MAC stuff on http://www.rock-the-catwalk.com so am going to try getting my NYX stuff there, too. Thanks doll!
