This is the first time I've ever worn a NYX lippie. How can you go wrong for $2.00 at Cherry Culture (regularly $3.50)?! The colors are certainly lovely. They are definitely worth a try.
In a way, they remind me of the old Artmatic, Emerge (sold at Phar-Mor for .69, discounted from $1.19) or Wet n Wild. They all had striking colors. Until I saw my label, I hadn't thought they'd be under $2 -- but we are talking way back when.
This is a mix of Louisiana (a light, bright color, in for this season)(the SA at MAC was wearing a similar color) and Fusion (a medium toned, orchid pink with a shimmer).
The picture was taken about 2 hours after I applied it. So it has good staying power.
This lippie is moist, but not gooey. My lips still feel comfortable (and I didn't put a balm underneath.) There is no discernible taste or smell. It feels good, but not luxurious, the way a Chanel or even a Lancome lippie feels.
I asked myself, if someone told me this was a Chanel or a Lancome lippie, would I know the difference in feel, scent or taste? Well, yes as to scent or taste, since I'm familiar with both of the other brands. And it feels different. And Chanel, especially, has very designer type colors, worth the price for that.
Is that any reason to turn it down because of reverse snobbism?
Have you tried any of the colors? What are your faves?

5 for value
5 for color selection
3 because you can't tell if the color has shimmer or not when you order
5 for moisture level
5 for nice packaging, love the way the color shows on the bottom of the tube; love the saying: lip smacking fun colors -- they are!
4 not luxurious, but whadya want for $2/$3.50?
