Looking to save $$$?

luckybetty (880 reviews)

I don't want to sacrifice my skin care or body care products, but for lipstick I don't mind. NYC has at least 2-3 colors that I like. Besides, whoever thought that I could get a lipstic for less then $1.29? With this price I can even leave in my car! A regular cleanser/facial wash can easily wash it away. — 3 years, 8 months ago

Surprisingly not bad

MakeupGuru (404 reviews)

It's only a dollar, and yet this lipstick comes with good color selection, good pigmentation, and it's not drying. The packaging is very cheap, and the lipstick doesn't retract all the way, so it's not easy to put the cap back quickly. This one is better than their $2 long wearing lipsticks. — 2 years, 3 months ago

Great Steal

BronySergio (45 reviews)

I was looking for a cheap true red lipstick just to try with my skin tone. I've never worn any bright red lipstick before and wanted to for an upcoming wedding I'm attending. I knew I wanted to buy it in a long-lasting formulation (CG outlast, Revlon colorstay, Maybelline superstay, etc.), but didn't want to fork over $10+ unless I knew it would look good on me. So when I came across NY Color's Retro Red for $0.99 (not sure why everyone else here is paying $2.29?), I decided to buy it. Wow! These are the creamiest, longest lasting lipsticks ever (aside from the 16-24 hr ones I mentioned above). I bought this tube just to try a few times and then toss. But after realizing the amazing quality, I'm definitely keeping it and buying more! To be honest, I've never been a big fan of NYC. It just always looked cheap and low quality (even though I LOVE Wet n Wild stuff). After getting the blush sticks and now this lipstick, I'm starting to realize I shouldn't judge a brand by its prices or packaging. The one thing I wish for them to improve is their color selection. Most of the shades are boring and not unique in the slightest. None of the colors popped at me. Retro Red was one of the only ones I really liked. Even though the packaging is kind of a pain, I really like the bullet-like shape of the cap. It's kind of sleek and sexy. I have the NYC lipstick in Lilac. It is an ok product. I like the color, and I like the price (1.99), but it turned out WAY more sheer and sparkly than I thought it would be; not the color I wanted at all. It's ok though, the sparklyness makes my lips look fuller. These lipsticks probably work best when paired over another lipstick. I would probably buy them again, though not in this color, because the price allows me to experiment with colors I won't normally wear. On the lips, it feels rather creamy, but not the kind of thing you'd want to get in your mouth. Like if you painted your lips with really thin, watery plasticine. But that might just be me, because I don't like the feel of a lot of lip products. In the 1st few days of opening this, I was rather crayon-like and hard to get on the lips...you kinda have to draw it on. So I heated it with a blowdrier for 5 seconds before each use, and within 3 days it had turned soft and creamy, not like a cheap lipstick anymore! I dunno if that just happens, or if it was the blowdrying... anyways, i'd probably buy again, just not that color. — 2 weeks, 2 days ago
