NYX Megashine Lipgloss in Beige and Plush Red, review, photo, swatches
I am a lipstick-girl. I love creamy non-shimmery lipsticks more than any gloss or anything . But does that not mean I don;t wear glosses. I do, but I tend to be too picky about them. The rave or diss reviews about the NYX Megashine Glosses got me really curious. So, here is my take
The shades I have are Plush Red and Beige.
Plush Red: As the name suggests it is indeed a plush red color. It's creamy and has strong pinkish undertones. You can wear it full on for an almost Gothic effect or pat it lighter to get a subdues beautiful color.
Even though I wear the brightest reds comfortably in the day time, I would not recommend wearing this one since it's very opaque and shiny at the same time.
Beige: Having taken quite a few peeks at different blogs, I saw, the Beige is not really 'beige'! it;s a beige-pink very close to the Lakme Lip Laquer I had used and yes, used up completely! I needed a replacement since it was withdrawn and this one has effectively taken up it's place. It's a great color for my NC 41 skin tone. Doesn't wash me out at all and looks wonderful with heavy eyes as much as with light eye makeups.
Now
What I liked about these
What bothers me:
Bottom line: If you can stand the smell, this is one of the best things around!!
Have you used these glosses? What do you think of the smell?

What I liked about these
- The quantity is huge. Normally glosses come in 5ml or even 3 ml ( Maybelline Liquid Diamonds) bottles. These are 11 ml tubes!
- About two dips are enough to cover both of my lips. You can even layer it for a more opaque and shiny finish.
- It highly moisturizes my lips. Even when it's gone, my lips remain completely moisturized and I don;t need to reach out for a lipbalm for the entire day.
- Opaque and can be even built up further.
- It's thick and difficult to spread around. But once you do, they don't feel sticky on the lips.
- The tubes do not leak which is the BEST thing I like about them!
- The packaging is cute and effective. The small boughs ( even though I am not girly enough to go gaga), look cute. The doe foot tip of the applicator is a bit curved to ensure better application and it picks up the right amount..
- Even though the price is too higher than that in the US, for about 450 INR, I am still happy.
- Wide shade selection even though here in India, the site mostly stock on the shimemry light pink shades and the browns. Duh!

What bothers me:
- The scent. They smell ugly, cloyingly sweet and synthetic and it take quite sometime before it disappears. The first time I tried it on, I was simply appalled!
- Mostly the browns and the shimmery pinks which are way too lighter for Indian skin tones are available here. Why don't the sites cater some more shades?!
- Even though the price tag that they come with is alright, I cannot stop calculation how many more I could have got hold of for the price they sell in the US.
Bottom line: If you can stand the smell, this is one of the best things around!!
