The Budget Blogger | NYC Expert Last Lipstick

     Hey guys! I want to start this little series about super affordable makeup products that I find amazing. I don't plan to have a schedule for this series but I want to make a special category for really affordable products, as even some drugstore products can sometimes be a little too pricey for what they are worth (in Canada at least).

     The product that I want to talk about today is the NYC (New York Color) Expert Last Lipstick. Now, I know what you are thinking... NYC? Really Lauren? But hey, I know NYC has a reputation of not being near the best but this product really hits it out of the park for me! Where I live I can get these lipsticks for around $1.79/$2.00 or at Walmart for 3 for $3.00 which is an amazing price. 

     These lipsticks are super buttery soft and glide on beautifully. I have 5 shades from this line out of the 20 shades that they offer. I own, Blue Rose, Candy Rush, Creamy Caramel, Coralista and Smooch. Personally I love all these shades and I would like to have all the shades from the whole line. Not only do these lipsticks glide on beautifully but they have one of the most amazing smells on a lipstick that I have ever smelt.

     Although I LOVE these lipsticks, there is one negative that I see in them. This negative is more towards a claim they make than the actual lipstick. The lipstick claims to last up to 6 hours, now I don't know about you, but I am a talker... I love to talk and I usually eat food within 6 hours so I have never experienced a lipstick lasting more than 3 or 4 hours on me and these lipstick are no different. So maybe if you don't really speak or eat with this product on, they will last longer but considering they are not a staining lip product of any kind, they don't last that long at all. 

      I also have a concern with the packaging. If packaging is huge selling point for you, you may not like these lipsticks for that one purpose... As you can see in my pictures, the labeling wears off and this gives the tube a "cheap" look. The lipstick bullet itself doesn't go fully down into the tube so you have to be careful when placing the top back on that you don't take a chunk out of the bullet. 

    In the end, this product is Lauren Michelle Makeup approved and these are some of the best lipsticks from the drugstore in my opinion and I will be purchasing more shades fro this line as time goes on.

xo,

     Lauren
