NYC Smooch Proof 16 HR Lip Stain – Rock On Ruby Review

Hello beautiful ladies,

As I have already told you about my increasing love for lip products, especially after getting addicted to IMBB, here I am back with another lip product and this time it’s from NYC cosmetics. NYC, as you all must be knowing is an US-based company which has a good selection of products in an affordable range. Today, I will be writing about one of its lip products called – Smooch Proof 16 HR Lip Stain.  With the increasing number of lip products coming in the market, every company is trying to come up with something which stays for a long time and this product claims the same. These lip stains are available in 10 colors and are pretty affordable. Continue reading to find out whether they actually stay for 16 hours or is it just a claim?

Rock On Ruby Lip Stain 3

Packaging:

The packaging of this product reminds me of my childhood, the days when I used sketch pens. This lip stain seems exactly like a bold sketch pen or a marker. The outer cover of the pen resembles the color of the lip stain.  Rock On Ruby is like a dark ruby color which can be seen on the packaging too.

Ingredients:

My Take on NYC Smooch Proof 16 HR Lip Stain – Rock On Ruby:

The reason I bought this product was due to the 16HR claim, but when I actually tried it, I was a little disappointed. It did not transfer on the mug while drinking, but it actually faded after a certain time. It’s good and stays for a good time, but not for 16 hours.  Another part about the product which I wasn’t too pleased about was that it made my lips dry, maybe its not only with this product, maybe all the lip stains do so in order to stay for a longer time on the lips, but I actually felt a little uncomfortable. I tried using a lip gloss over it and it helped me for a few minutes, but after that, it was the same feeling, but the product isn’t too bad.

I love the fact that it resembles a bold marker and makes the application so easy. All you have to do is open the cap and use it as if you are coloring a picture. It gives a perfect outline to the lips due to its pointed tip, which helps to fill in the color accurately. The color can be easily recognized by the pen color which makes it easy to recognize from a bundle of different colors. Now, finally coming to the price, it’s just $4.99, that is around 268 INR.  So, getting a product at this price is not too bad, even if  its not perfect.

Cons of NYC Smooch Proof 16 HR Lip Stain – Rock On Ruby:

  • Doesn’t live up to the claim of staying 16 hours on the lips.
  • Dries my lips.
  • Not available in India.

Final Verdict:

Except the two things I mentioned in the cons, I don’t find anything wrong in this product. Actually, you can’t go wrong with a product which is as affordable as this one.

Would I Repurchase NYC Smooch Proof 16 HR Lip Stain – Rock On Ruby?

I already have 3 shades in this and the main reason I bought this was due to the 16 HR claim and as it does not fulfill that, I may not buy it again. I would rather love to try something similar with some other brand.

Do I Recommend NYC Smooch Proof 16 HR Lip Stain – Rock On Ruby?

Despite the cons I mentioned, I do recommend this product due to the fact that it is actually very reasonably priced and we can always find ways to convert the cons in our favor 🙂
