I got this lip paint in the Best Beauty Gamble Ever. I've tried the London shade and found it pretty good, so I was happy to try New York.
This product comes in a clear glass bottle with a gold lid, the same as the London shade, so the product is visible through the glass.
It applies with a soft tip on the end of the wand that connects to the bottle cap. It is easy to apply.
The New York shade is a very loud, deep, plum colour. I love it, but it is incompatible with my skin tone unfortunately. I did try wearing but it completely swamped my pale face. Blotting it as much as I could did help a bit, but not enough for me to wear it in public. Like the other shade, it needs oil to remove it.
All up a pretty good product, but I won’t use it again because the colour is too much for my skin.If I was going to repurchase it, $20 seems a fair price. I like that it applies easily and doesn’t bleed. A good product overall.
Received this in the last BR vault haul. By reputation and a couple of other products that I have tried from Mellow, I had relatively high expectations for this product.
Packaging has a gold top and a see through barrel so you can see the shade of lip product. The shade name is on the bottom. Doe foot applicator. No scent, not that I can smell anyway.
Application: Smooth, easy and even. Not patchy, or sticky at all, no need for second application. Dries down in a couple of minutes. Finished look is flawless. A firm top 5 of my lip products. I would repurchase and would like to try other shades in the range.
