The liquid lipshines are the new, re-formulated version of the older lip shines from New York Color. If you did not like the look and feel of the older lip shines, these are something that you must try. They feel more like a lip gloss, only less sticky. These lip shines come in 10 shades that range from sheer coverage to full, pigmented, opaque colors. I like how the range is a nice mix of cremes and shimmer. There are a couple of duo chromes too!

The revamped version feels light, goes on smooth and packs a lot of shine and most of all, is super hydrating. They have a slight, sweet fruity smell which I don't mind at all and have decent wear time(about 3 hours)for a gloss.
'Fashion Avenue Fuchsia' is a very light fuschia with fine shimmer that looks almost invisible, letting the color show through well. 'Midtown Mulberry' is a deep berry that is very pigmented and goes on super creamy. Both these colors look good on their own and will look great on medium-dark skin tones.

'Big Apple Spice' is a duochrome with hints of copper & berry that looks fantastic on top of any boring, matte lipstick. It is quite pigmented to be worn on it's own too. 'Nude York City' is a shimmery nude that looks almost like a clear gloss on me. A dab of this along the centre of the lower lip looks absolutely stunning.
Overall, these are fantastic glosses for the price($2.49) and I think NYC did a great job with the packaging too! It's definitely worth a pick up and I'm sure you'll only go back for more.
Have you tried the NYC Liquid Lip Shines? Do you like them? I'd love to know!
