*I got the NYC Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss for review from Influenster. I was not paid to review the product and all opinions are my own.
When I received my Varsity VoxBox I was very excited to try the NYC plumping and shine lip gloss, but sadly I was disappointed. And here's why:
1. The applicator is HUGE and messy
2. It's very sticky
3. It transfers like a bitch
4. No plumping effect
Don't get me wrong the color was nice, and it looked good, but I wouldn't repurchase.
I was shocked when I saw the applicator. It's seriously huge! Which makes applying the lip gloss messy and gross. It's also sticky, like most lip glosses. So you end up with sticky lip gloss all over your mouth. On top of that, it transfers easily so now you have sticky lip gloss on anything that touches your mouth. Cups, a fork, your boyfriend. Lastly, my final complaint; the whole selling point is plumping 50% more volume, and I didn't see that. It did tingle like a plumping gloss but there was no obvious size difference.
So, yeah, not my favorite to say the least. I wouldn't spend my money on it.
