Review of N.Y.C Lipstick- Flirty 417B

Pink metallic colors never looked good on my nails, however pink metallic on my lips, and we have take-off!

When I came across a cheap $1.99 tube of lipstick by N.Y.C I initially was going to leave it alone, however I had some bad luck with lipstick that cost 8 times that price, and figured what the heck, may as well try a cheap brand, maybe it'd be better than some high end, high priced brand of lipstick.

I had used N.Y.C in the past, but never liked their lipsticks because they always felt too dry on my lips. That was years ago though, and I figured I would give the brand a run again, maybe they improved? Maybe not?

I bought N.Y.C Lipstick in the color Flirty 417B. I was not able to test it in the store, but by the looks of what I could see through the clear cap, it looked like a color that would work well with me. Through the lid it looked like a pinkish purple hue, with a nice shimmery additive that I knew would make the lips shine.

My Use:
 
I was surprised at how far N.Y.C had come since my teen years, because this lipstick was just as smooth and moist feeling as a high end brand would feel. I loved it, it easily ran across my lips and left a beautiful shimmering metallic pink behind. The color is rather beautiful, and bold, and more than likely wouldn't work too well on those with pale skin. However if you were to pair this color up with a nice sun kissed glow on your skin, you'd be left with some cosmetic lip magic.

Last:
 
Surprised again, N.Y.C Flirty stood with me much longer than other expensive brand lipsticks do. In fact I only had to touch up about 3 times throughout an 8 hour time period, and that included drinking from a soda can. The lipstick will come off a bit on a cup or can, but the color remains, only a little faded, but still very present.

All in all the last is spectacular.

Overall:
 
Go ahead ladies, N.Y.C is not just a brand from your teen years, they are keeping up with times, trends, and deliver low cost cosmetics with really awesome high end results. I highly recommend this brand, and this particular lipstick color.
