NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss - Miami Babe

I've been dabbling in some NYX products lately and honestly haven't been that impressed with what they have to offer. I was a little apprehensive about buying another lip product after being very disappointed in a lipstick I bought earlier this summer. I'll have to review that one at a later date. I had almost given up on NYX products but bought their Mega Shine gloss in Miami Babe on a whim. I read about it being a my-lips-but-better shade and I've been on the hunt for that. I thought I found it in the Revlon balm stain in Honey but it stains my lips a bright pink. Not very natural! I was actually very pleased with the NYX gloss, though!

Kiss me quick! Our signature Mega Shine Lip Gloss delivers shine, moisture and softness and envelops lips with glistening color. The finish is both creamy and steamy and ensures knockout glamour. Available in a variety of sinful shades.

This gloss is available in 39 shades on NYX's website. And at $5 a pop you really can't beat that. NYX describes Miami Babe as a creamy brown-pink. I think that's pretty accurate as evidenced in my swatches below.

The formula of this gloss is pretty thick and creamy. It felt really nice on my lips and actually moisturized them. The color is so pigmented I think of it more as a liquid lipstick. To me, glosses are not as opaque as lipsticks get and this gloss is very opaque. Plus, it really sticks to your lips. Like, it won't budge after you let it sit.

 I've been wearing this pretty much everyday since I got it. It's a great everyday lip color. The perfect pinky nude color. I get a few hours of wear out of it but I'm sure most people would get a full day because I'm constantly rubbing my lips together and it really takes a toll on my lip products' wear time. I do think this color would look great on a variety of skin tones so I do recommend this to everyone!

I do believe NYX has redeemed themselves! What are some of your favorite NYX products?
