NYC Cityproof Twistable Intense Lip Color – South Ferry Berry Review
Hola Amigos,
How are you all? Hope you are taking good care of yourself these winters. Winters and the cold gloomy weather calls for bright lips. Though I am not comfortable wearing bright shades (well, haven’t worn them much, except at my wedding :P), but I am trying them out these winters. And they do add the pop of color to my lips. Twistable crayons are a rage, so today I bring you one such product which delivers the quality and is very light on pocket. 😀
Product Description:
The quickest route to amazing lip color! With intense, high-density color pay-off and a shiny, medium-gloss finish, your pout will stay put hours after initial application. The clever pen format was designed specifically to suit those on the move who don’t have a mirror, or, for that matter, time for fussy lip products. Just twist, glide on and go!
Price:
$3 for 0.07 oz / 2 gm.
My Experience with NYC Cityproof Twistable Intense Lip Color – South Ferry Berry:
Though I wanted to give bright shades a go, I wanted to pick something which is not costly since I was not quite sure if I would really wear them or they would lie unused in my stash. So while searching for the same, I found this shade and picked it up.
NYC Cityproof twistable intense lip color comes in a retractable jumbo pencil/crayon form which has a plastic wrapping containing the list of ingredients. The pencil is twistable as its name says, so no sharpening and no product wastage. The plastic body has the same color as the shade inside making it easier to locate in your stash. It has a clear plastic cap which closes nicely, but I am not too sure that it would stay put in your purse as well, so better to carry it in a side pocket of the purse. The base of the crayon is twisted to get the product out. On the side of the tube, the logo, product name, and other information is mentioned. The bottom has a black label indicating the shade number and name. The pen format makes it easy to line the lips and apply the color.
The color is a deep cherry red with a hint of pink undertone, nothing like berry at all. It doesn’t have any shimmer but has creme finish and shine to it. The formula is very moisturizing and dry lips will love it. I love how it glides on the lips.
But yes, it will highlight flaky lips, so exfoliating prior to application is a good idea. The pigmentation is okay, a single swipe will deposit around 60% of color which can be easily build up. But the color bleeds heavily and transfers like crazy if layered on too much. Also, it does settle in fine lines. You can blot and wear it like a stain as well. The application is very nice and smooth and it is very creamy and hydrating on lips. The formula is very comfortable and lightweight and you just feel like you are wearing some lip balm.
The staying power is average. With drinks, it would survive for around 4 hours but loses its intensity in around 2 hours. But I don’t mind reapplying due to its texture. 😀 It does leaves a faint stain on lips which also goes in some time. It will not survive any meals though. It has a sweet candy like smell which goes away in sometime after the application.
