I don't know if you have noticed yet but I am a total lip product junkie & yet I have long been searching for the perfect drug store nude lipstick, without any luck. Either their far to pale for me & give the concealer lips effect, or a weird orangey based colour leaving my lips looking tangoed.
Last month I was having a mooch around Superdrug & realised I never pay much attention to the NYC cosmetics stand, so I had a look & found that they have a nice range of lipsticks for just £1.99.
440 Creamy Caramel stood out to me as a nice looking nude; a brown based nude with a slight pink tone to it, that I've long been after. For just £1.99 it was worth a try, so I made the purchase.
This applies very smoothly on to the lips with a nice colour pay off & feels very soft when on. Even with the formula being nice & smooth it doesn't settle into fine lines, I am so impressed with this because I would tend to expect a cheaper brand of lipstick to do just that!
There is a slight artificial vanilla scent (the typical cheaper lipie smell) , but it doesn't translate onto the lips.
The packaging is nothing flash, but its secure & does the job perfectly for £1.99. The clear lid that shows the shade of the lipstick, securely snaps onto the base which is the shade of the lipstick, & this goes for all lipsticks in this range.
In this pic I am wearing NYC Expert Last Lipstick in the shade 440 Creamy Caramel. |
To sum up I am very impressed with this NYC Expert Last Lipstick, soft formula, great colour pay off & a price tag of just £1.99
I would most definitely re purchase as this is the perfect budget friendly nude lipie.

Have you tried any NYC lipsticks?
Thanks for reading guys, I hope your all well & had a lovely weekend.
I would never pick up this product going by the colour of the packaging as it looks really dark, but it looks so nice on!
ReplyDeleteI've found that most nude lipsticks leave horrible lines on the lips too, yuckyyyyy! I will definitely have to look at this the next time I'm in there. I have one of their eyeshadow palettes it's quite good :)
You look beautiful!
