This is a fantastic lipstick and I finally bought it (I owned a lot of NYC already) based on reviews here (thanks all!) This is a semi-sheer lipstick that reminds me of Essence's sheer and shine...

This is a beautifully sheer, dusty rose pink that you can't beat for the price. It's got a wonderful finish without being sparkly, unlike most of the other lipsticks in this price range. I'm not...

Applies evenly and smoothly. Moisturizing. Not super pigmented, but still a beautiful dusty rose shade. Not shimmery or too shiny. Great when you want a subtle lip. It isn't exceptionally packaged,...

Due to budgetary constraints I have had to turn to more drugstore makeup over higher end. This is another puppies that was a great find. I don't see it as being violet as the name implies but a...

I passed by the N.Y.C. rack and decided to pick up Violet Shine because it looked pretty in the tube. And I'm glad I did! Regardless of the name, this shade applies as a rose pink on my asian...

I bought this product while I was browsing through the cosmetics aisle at a Kmart a week ago. I'm not really into lipsticks, but when I saw how cheap these NYC lipsticks are, I decided to give it...

I am loving this very pretty lippie right now! Violet Shine is a strange name for a lippie of this color. You cannot use the label on the tube to judge the color as the label is a deep,...

Its a nice pink color for a cute every day look without just being a plain nude color. It's not super pigmented but I didn't really expect it to be. Fantastic for the price :D

I bought this product after trying two other lipsticks from N.Y.C. that I actually really enjoyed. Violet Shine has some shimmer in it, but not the overly silvery type of shimmer in most...

Great dusky pink color. Very nice to use for everyday. It is also pretty moisturizing. And at only $1, the price is fantastic as well.

This is a really pretty color. And it is moist, and does last. I also love how inexpensive it is. It is worth a try.

i think this lipstick is good for the price it was only .93 at h.e.b and its kind of sheer, not that pigmented but good if you want just a wash of color and they kind of smell funny. If you get it...

I love the color this has, it's a fuschia (definitely not a violet) with no shimmer that starts out kind of sheer but can easily be built up to a bright color. At the same time it's a pretty...

Very nice color, not too red, not too pink or light colored. Goes on smoothly and stays for a decent amount of time. Smells: Like lipstick

What a great color for a dirt cheap price. On me this is a bright medium cool pink that leans fuchsia if I layer it on thick. My favorite way to wear it though is blotted down, so it looks softer...

This is about the same shade as my lips knocked up a shade or 2. It's not a pop of color, but it's pretty natural for my lip tone. I love the scent and creamy smooth feel.

This is probably as close to a HG pink lipstick as I have gotten in a while. The color is a medium berry-mauve pink. It goes on slightly sheer with a bit of shine, and DOES moisturize accordingly....
