Hi all,
I bought two of the NYX’s lip glosses from their “Diamond Sparkle” collection. This one is for my mom. Let’s see how it fared:
Price:
Ranges from INR 435-450.

My Experience with NYX Plum Sparkle Diamond Sparkle Lip Gloss:
Packaging: These lip glosses come in a transparent tube with a matte black lid. I really love the very simple but yet so attractive packaging. The matte black lid makes a lot of difference in the overall appearance. The body is really strong and won’t break if it falls. The applicator is a crooked, long doe-foot applicator. The applicator is user friendly. I like the small and a bit chubby packaging. You can easily toss the gloss in your handbag. I know that rhymed! 😀
Color/Pigmentation: I was looking for a brown lip gloss because my mom uses mostly brown matte lipsticks for work. So, I thought a brown lip gloss would be a nice change. This is a classic brown lip gloss with tons and tons of shimmer in it. I did not anticipate the amount of shimmer that transfers on the lips. It’s a bit too much honestly. A little shimmer is okay, but this is way too much shimmer to handle. The only way out here is to use just a little bit of gloss. Otherwise, you end up looking like a shimmery ball. The pigmentation is quite okay. The brown shows up less, but the golden shimmer stands out like no one else’s business!
Texture: It just feels a tiny bit gritty, that too if you purse your lips hard. I like the consistency of the gloss. It moisturizes to a certain extent, but it’s a complete no-no for dry lips.
Staying Power: Stays on for 2 hours and fades really quickly. The shimmers stay behind which is a dud!
