NYC New York Color Big Bold Gloss Review

I received ANOTHER VoxBox from Influenster this month. Yay! This VoxBox was called the Varsity Voxbox. This blog post will focus on one of the products I received in this box: NYC Big Bold Gloss. This lip gloss is a "plumping" gloss. Here is what Influenster has to say about Big Bold Gloss.

Have you always dreamed of the full, plump lips? Get voluminous lips in one effortless stroke with NYC’s Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss! This sultry gloss adds up to 50% more volume and four hours of shine for lasting wear!

 First of all, I hardly ever EVER wear lip gloss. I am a chapstick kind of gal (Baby Lips by Maybelline and EOS are my current favorites.). Of course, an exception was made for this VoxBox product! While I have heard of plumping lip glosses, I have never actually used any, so I was not quite sure of what to think. This was the first product I tried.

The shade I received is called "Pleasantly Plump Pink." It is a nice, subtle pink and it blends into my lip's natural color quite nicely. The smell is chemically and not very pleasant. After putting it on, I could feel the stickiness and my lips had a strange tingling sensation. I did not really notice any difference with this lip gloss. My lips looked exactly the same! Overall, I do not suggest this product.
