I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! It's been a pretty busy one for me, but thankfully I now have a chance to squeeze in some quality blogging time. ;)
I just want to share with you these N.Y.C. Ultra Moist Lipsticks we bought. We were buying beauty and bathroom supplies at Walmart when my Mom saw these lipsticks that were on sale... I think we bought them for $1.29 each. Great price, huh? :)
We bought 3 colors - Petal (314), Blossom (316), and Retro Red (308). Petal is my sister's, Blossom is my Mom's, and Retro Red is mine. :)
They kindly let me use theirs to swatch:

Ultra Moist LipWear
Kissable shine with Vitamin E conditioning.
Make your lips stand out with New York Color Ultra Moist LipWear. A moisturizing lipstick in the trendiest high-shine colors that nourish and soothe your lips.
*from http://www.newyorkcolor.com/*
What I love about it:
- the colors are all beautiful
- it glides on smoothly
- it's long-lasting
-it doesn't dry out my lips (it really does soothe and moisturize)
- the price is amazing, very affordable :)
- it's a great "starter" lipstick
I've just recently started wearing really bold colored lipsticks. I used to be a lipgloss kinda girl... actually, I still am, but now I also looooove to wear lipstick. I am especially drawn to red lipsticks, there's just something about it that I love. Now that I've had enough practice with my N.Y.C. lipstick, I think I'm ready to try something from MAC. :D
Things I don't love?
- Just one: You just have to be careful when opening it. I'm not sure why, maybe it's the way it's packaged, but you have to open it straight up, not sideways. If you open it sideways, you'll risk the chance of hitting the stick and putting a dent on it, or worse, completely break it. Thankfully that didn't happen to me, I just put a tiny dent on mine. Haha. I don't know if I am explaining it properly, I hope I made sense. ;)
Despite that, I am definitely planning to buy more of this. I love it. I want to try other colors.
Speaking of other colors, here are the rest to choose from:
Cafe (301)
Mocha (304)
Ruby (305)
Sheer Red (309)
Chiffon (312)
Violet Shine (319)
Mahogany (320)Have you tried this lipstick before? What color(s) do you think I should try next?
I've never NYC's lipsticks - I'm gonna have to take a look next time :) I think you should try Cafe next - it looks like it would be a nice neutral everyday color (always a good option to have) ♥
ReplyDeleteIve looked at these lipsticks a lot but never bought any because I was scared they would be too cheap and not have enough pigmentation. Thanks for this post. Its encouraged me to try some of these lipsticks out.
ReplyDeleteThe colors look fun and vibrant. Wow prices are amazing too. I have never tried N.Y.C. brand before but this looks really tempting. Thank you for the review :)
ReplyDeletewhen we had a halloween party i needed red lipstick and nyc was the cheapest so i used it. it was really good! it went on smoothly and it stayed for a while. i love the mocha color!
ReplyDeleteAlexa P.-- oooh, that does sound good. thanks for the advice, alexa!

frigg!! you're blog updates are apparently not showing on my dashboard so I was wondering to myself "why is Mimi hasn't been updating her blog?" good thing I visited your site before I go to bed and I checked if I'm still following you (glad, I still am :D). It's just weird how yours is not showing up on my updates.
ReplyDeleteanyway,
wow! I am going to London Drugs tomorrow and I'll check out N.Y.C stuff there.. I got 2 nail polishes 3 weeks ago from N.Y.C for $1.29each
I love the Petal shade :d I need to buy that! haha
P.S
I've seen the first ep of HellCats. I'm loving the show!
Brent-- hi! thank you so much for stopping by and following my blog! :)
ReplyDeleteEm-- really??? that sucks, i wonder why. hope it goes back to normal. i am gonna go to your blog right after this. :) i love nyc nail polish too! and i still have to watch the first episode, i've been way too busy! ok, i'll visit your blog now. :)
Oh I don't know if they are available here but I'd like to try the Retro Red. Been thinking of buying a matte red from Avon so if I see an NYC then I'll definitely give Retro Red a try. Great buy Mimi!

ReplyDeleteI'm going to try NYC lipstick now before I just though they were cheap and would not last.
ReplyDeleteI've been eyeing them at the store, guess I will make a purchase now!
ReplyDeleteOoh, these are gorg! I have never before worn lipstick, so I wouldn't even know where to start! I really love the texture of these though; very smooth and creamy! Great review, Mimi!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the Petal and Blossom, and great tip about opening it. It does make sense and it's good you've let other people know so they don't end up losing a beautiful lipstick. :)

I'm really trying to work up the nerve to wear red lipstick. It's so gorgeous and I love it on other people. I'm just usually not so bold...but I'm willing to give it a try this fall! xx, Kelly

I wish we had NYC where I live :( All of the products I've seen look so great - and they're much cheaper than MAC, which would be kinda helpful :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! I really am wanting the CHIFFON color! Sooooo pretty and girly!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried out that brand yet, but I like the cafe color. Looks perfect. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like those colour:)...I need to try that brand for sure:)
ReplyDeleteKisses,sweetie
I haven't tried it, but I think the Cafe looks great. Thanks for the tips on how to deal with the packaging, too.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Carrie
Have you tried NYC's eye-pencil? I want a good black, not very expensive but jet black eye pencil and can't seem to find it! HELP!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried their lipstick, but your review sounds pretty good. How is the flavor? Does it peel or run?
ReplyDeletei love the colors! all of them:D

ohh I've had those lipsticks before, where it breaks if you open it sideways :( I hate smudging the inside of a lipstick case too haha
