these are amazing and have spoiled me. dirt cheap, super pigmented and sparkly without looking cheap! i just recently purchased a Chanel glossimer...and perhaps it's because I'm not a "true" lip gloss fan, but I prefer NYX l/g!! More bang for your buck! I want to collect them all now.

I LOVE THESE lipglosses! I went to designer frangraces to purchase these but they didn't have any lip cutips or whatever so I put it on my finger yet it wasn't sheer and it was highly pigmented. I plan on building my collection of NYX! I'm in love. The texture of these are great too. Not too sticky. make your lips POP ladies!

I cannot rave enough about these glosses!! First of all I would say that these are highly pigments, so I would consider them to be liquid lipsticks rather than a gloss. I love how the color is buildable with these. They come in a rectangular tube rather than a cylinder. They newer formula has a cherry scent (not taste) that is really nice. I have one in Beige that is made of the old formula and it has a floral scent to it. These have a longer sponge tip applicator which IMO isn't as precise, but still love this stuff. I already own 7 and plan on more!! At the moment, Natural is my HG.

Love, love, love! This brand is way above drug store quality. These are not sticky and are true to color. The color you see in the tube is the color you get on your lips. And unlike other drugstore lip glosses, these have a nice "Juicy Fruit Gum" smell to them. Stores only carry a limited shade variety, so check out their website for more color options.

I got this in Vanilla, which is a really pretty gold. The color is a bit light for me, but with moderation, looks good. This is so thick, and not stick, and stay on for a long time. It mosutrizes my lips, and I like their nice cherry-banana smell.

I love NYX glosses--they are my official favorite / HG . Its true that theyre not as subtle as Lancome Juicy tubes or as long lasting (JT are my other lipgloss HG), but I find the colors photograph REALLY well and go on really smoothly. I have the lipglosses in Ice Princess (113) and Frosted Beige (112) and they both look fantastic and really suit my fair warm and cool toned skin. Ice Princess is a frosty light pink that gives a 'pretty, romantic' look especially when coupled with a rose-colored blush or cool tones on the eyes. Frosted Beige is a sexy nude color that gives me that 'playing on the beach' kind of look if I do a dramatic smokey eye with it. I have Ice Princess on in one of my profile pics (the one with the yellow outfit and henna on my hand) if any of you are interested in checking it out.

I bought this in Tea Rose online hoping the color would be OK since I found no reviews. I was surprised and very pleased by the gorgeous cool pinky-mauve with very fine shimmer. The texture is great, non-sticky and lasts a decent amount of time for a lip gloss.

I also bought in Chandelier, a sheer almost opalescent pink with fine glitter. A very unique shade. I am loving NYX glosses and I only paid $2 each! You can see these in my pictures.

I have to say, I love this lip gloss! In fact, other than Nars, it's my favorite. I use the shade "French Kiss", which is a natural, lightly shimmered pink color. The Mega Shine line does have colors with a lot of pigment, as well as colors that are more sheer, as others have mentioned, so just test it out before you buy it. It's not too thick, not too thin, and seems to last longer than most, and at $6CAD you can't go wrong!

A lot of the mega shine glosses are more like lacquers/liquid lipsticks however some are sheer too. Its just best if you're at a place that has testers but they're still a steal for the price! the glosses are huge, the packaging isn't bulky and because its squared-shape it doesn't annoyingly roll around.


The colors come in a nice variety for everyone from funky to bold to neutrals/nudes in frosts, shimmer, glitter, irridescence, cremes, sheer, etc.. and some of them are really beautiful that I wouldn't guess I paid so little for it. They have a faint cherry/bubble gum like scent that fades after application (none of mines remind of flowers), the applicator is a long slant doefoot sponge so it takes some getting used to and seems to work best with some colors than others.. at least it seems a bit hard to control with the more opaque colors.


They're a steal for the price and some of the best budget glosses out there! One of my favorites and doesn't burn a hole in the wallet while being able to try out some unique shades too. I like to collect these everytime I see them. They're also my favorite glosses from NYX so far because there's a huge selection, always a winning forumla + simple packaging (some other NYX glosses are ridiculous in package).

Wow! What a great gloss! I have this in Beige, but it's more of a dewy nude pink. It gives a sexy nude lip. And you can't beat the price!

NYX megashine l/g are my favorite glosses, ever since I discovered them at my local Longs Drugs. They go on very smoothly - the applicator is very convenient to use. The are very pigmented - which works well for my dark-sh pigmented lips. They are very glossy :) They last for a long time too - I always touch up after meals so all I have tested them for is 5-6 hours and they held up to that very well. And they come in gorgeous colors - love their Vanilla (thts my staple), Burgundy (I use it as a stain - apply and blot), Walnut. Will definitely try more colors. And whats more - they are dirt cheap!

These are fantastic! I am so happy that my Eckerd has started selling NYX. I bought three of these, and they are all great. They don't feel the least bit sticky, have a soft scent that isn't bad at all, and the packaging is very sleek and not at all cheap looking or feeling. The color selection is very nice as well. Beautiful colors. I will keep buying these for sure!

I bought this in Goddess of the Night in a light gold color. It's very smooth feeling - like oil, not goopy. I use it over lipstick & works as well as some of my more expensive lipglosses (can you say Cargo?). However, it doesn't last as long as my MAC l/g, but for the price, you can afford to re-apply - guilt free!

I really like this product!!! I have it in Goddess of the Night. On my lips, it looks like a subtle peachy pink. I would definitely buy this again in this shade and most likely other shades. It has nice texture, not too sticky. It's definitely glossy. The smell doesn't bother me. It smells like candy or lollipop.

I have this in Goddess of the Night which should be re-named Cheezy Porn Star. The gloss texture is nice, it's just the color that is wrong, probably for anyone other than Barbie. It is a Super Frosty Pale Pink, Almost White. Too much for me.

Colour: African Queen

Oh boy, was THIS ever made for queens! Only half-joking, as I do enjoy bright lip colour from time to time (I may be a gay male but no queen!), and this is the best one I have of all brands. This shade is bright pink, but not disgustingly so, since it has a lovely blue sheen. It stays put for a long time and tastes like strawberry banana.

this l/g, like other reviewers say, is like a liquid lipstick. it is highly pigmented, so i use it as a stain. and the texture isn't too sticky.
it is also very scented, which i can get past it. so wear it as a stain, but it is not a good gloss. will purchase again.

Very glossy, very pigmented and NOT STICKY!

I purchased this in (123) Copper. This comes in a large 15 ml tube with a doe-foot applicator. I have been searching for this brand and finally found a display with some glosses and eyeliners at a tiny beauty supply store. Most of these lipgloss shades seemed too dark for me but I couldn't resist this pretty and bright copper shade. I don't typically wear browns or bronzes on my lips and this doesn't work well when applied straight from the tube; it's highly pigmented. After I blot it down, however, I am left with the prettiest stain, nice and shiny. Really good stay-power when worn this way. This is definitely more like a liquid lipstick than a gloss, so if you're looking for a sheer veil of color you aren't wanting this opaque gloss. I dislike the floraly taste/scent but can put up with it. I found this for all of a $1.49 - a total bargain. So far I have been impressed with this brand.

Not as super-heavy as other lip glosses. I don't get my hair caught in it nor do I feel like I have thick liquid weighing down my lips. it can be hard to keep it from straying around outside the lips. However, these are true GLOSSES. the clear shade is actually my favorite, because it makes my lips look like GLASS. if you want porcelain doll-unreal lips that shine like crazy, this is the gloss for you. it is also well worn over lipstick or other gloss colors. doesn't fade.
