I recently purchased several NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss from Hautelook. They came in a pack of six, but they can be purchased individually at nyxcosmetics.com or amazon.com. They cost $5.50, though their prices usually range from $5.50-$7.10 on amazon. Each tube comes with 0.53 fl oz/15 mL.
Personally, I think these lip glosses are great for the following reasons:
- A lot of product: I have been using these glosses everyday since I got them and I still haven't made a dent.
- Highly pigmented: There is no need to wear lipstick underneath these glosses; the color you see is the color you get.
- Creamy formula: The gloss glides own smoothly on your lips creating a rich color without looking heavy.
- Great applicator: Each tube comes with a fuzzy doe-foot applicator that evenly distributes the product on your lips without streaking.

One thing to keep in mind is the amount of ingredients each tube has. The lipgloss contains chemicals like Polybutene, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, and Silica Dimethyl Silylate. My rule is: if you can't pronounce the names, don't put it on your lips! Try opting for a lip gloss with less ingredients. Next time you are at the drugstore or sephora, check the label before making the purchase.
Overall, I would recommend this product to all my readers. It is great for beginners who want to try out new colors, but don't want to spend too much. Personally, my favorite color is salsa because it is subtle, pink, and versatile. But don't be afraid to take a risk and try a new color. These glosses are perfect to where by themselves and they are affordable enough to by seasonal colors. Comment or tweet me any requests for future articles!
