New York Color Cosmetics (NYC) is one of the value drugstore brands that tends to do a pretty good job with delivering good makeup items for little money. Although I have at times had issues with some of their glosses, I really like their new line of plumping gloss, Lippin Large Lip Plumper.

This gloss is rather thick and fairly well tinted, so it tends to give a decent amount of color. Although on the thick side, I did not find it to be sticky like some thick glosses can get. The gloss gives a pretty strong tingle, which I also like. But as usual, seeing actual plumping from any volumizer is rare for me. I buy them simply for the tingling feel and because many are just plain good glosses.

I tried all six shades and the skin swatches are below. Funny thing–I could feel them tingling a bit on my arm!

You can find NYC Cosmetics at major drugs stores and big box retailers, such as that red and white bullseye place.
