Just a quick review of the New York Color Appleicious Glossy Lip Balm ($2.99; Press Samples), launched back in January as part of the brand's spring lineup! The balm itself has a nice tint and the apple core moisturizes with a hint of shine. These come in ten shades ranging from reds & pinks to nude browns!
The packaging is like a regular, twist up tube - pretty sturdy for the price. The colors are mostly shimmery, the lighter ones a tad frostier than the darker shades that seem more wearable on my skintone. The moisture core adds a touch of shine and a little bit of glossiness too that wears off sooner than the color does, after about 2 hours. I only needed a swipe for the darker colors to show up and the shimmer isn't very obvious once on the lips. The lighter shades though have quite obviously chunky shimmer. Now, these are a lip balm, but they are neither too moisturizing, nor drying. I find them to be good this time of the year and they would definitely wear better over another lip balm in the winter.
If you have very dry lips, try to stick with the pinks or anything with a little more color as there's not much shimmer to emphasize dryness. As for the scent, there's a slight fruity scent that doesn't bother me much and fades pretty quickly. Overall, its a nice little budget buy, good to toss into your bag for a quick wash of color!
