NYC Extreme Lip Glider Lip Gloss Review & Swatches

L-R:  Mulberry St. Mocha,
Chelsea Rose, Plaza Punch

I never had a particular desire to try these NYC Extreme Lip Glider Glosses since I wasn't a fan of the NYC Lip Shines (too sticky for my taste), but the shades in Chelsea Rose and Plaza Punch were available for clearance at CVS so I picked them up to try.  They sat in the bottom of my drawer for over month until I decided to try them and I immediately regretted not trying them before:  these things are awesome.  Sadly, however, I think these might be being discontinued since when I went back to grab more at 3 different Rite Aids and 2 CVS's I've only been able to find the shade in Mulberry St. Mocha.  Read on for more info and swatches!

My biggest concern with any lip gloss is the sticky factor.  I have a very limited tolerance for sticky lip glosses, and by limited, I mean next to none.  Luckily, that isn't an issue with these Gliders.  That surprises me since they are a bit thick and thicker glosses tend to be the sticky ones.  They also have decent pigmentation for a gloss.  We're not talking a liquid lipstick or anything, but people will see that you have a  color on your lips rather than just a transparent gloss.

Mulberry St. Mocha

In the tube Mulberry St. Mocha is a rosy milk chocolate color.  On the lips it just give your pout a brown tint.

Chelsea Rose

Chelsea Rose turned out to be my favorite.  Very natural, MLBB shade that gives a nice rosy pink tone to the lips with just a touch of peachiness.

Plaza Punch

Plaza Punch is a pleasant berry pink.  I haven't worn this as much as the other two, as the others are more neutral colors, but if you're looking for a fun pop of color without being too dramatic, this is the color for you.  


Bottom Line:  Amber LOVES <3<3<3<3<3


As noted in the intro, I'm scared that NYC might be getting rid of these, so if you're interested in them you may want to grab them up while you can.  


I was so relieved to find these weren't sticky.  There's nothing worse than sticky gloss all gunked up and your hair getting stuck to your mouth all day.  Is stickiness a dealbreaker for you too?  


UPDATE 1/30/12:  NYC confirmed to me that these are being discontinued :(  So you definitely need to grab them up if you see them!
