I own a total of ten of them out of NYX's huge collection of Megashine Lip Gloss and they are (until this point of time) the best drugstore lip gloss that I've came across. I did not realise I've got so many until I took them out to do this swatch entry, but I'm still glad I've got them all. There are times that I may venture out with minimal eye make up (just concealer set with loose powder and generously applied mascara), to add some flush of color to my "empty canvas", these lip glosses come in just in place.
They are extremely high-shine and affordable (15ml). Those that are suppose to be pigmented are nicely pigmented, and they are not sticky compared to other more costly lip glosses in my collection. Therefore I don't see why I should not get more when the time comes.
Nope, I did not purchase them in Singapore as the range of products available at the shelves in Guardian's pathetic and prices are marked up exorbitantly. I did not purchase them all at one go, but through multiple online hauls I've done through a personal contact who is setting up her web-shop, at a lovely price. I'll make her shop opening blog entry here when it's up and running, so keep a look out!

All swatches are done with the doe-foot applicator that comes with the tube (nothing too special) and swapped only once on the back of my (NC25 to NC30 MAC color scheme) hand.

The pigmented ones can be sheered out to give wash of color or applied as per normal to give a lovely pop of color and glossiness. However as you can see from my collection, I personally prefer muted tones. They do come with a strong sweet cherry scent which some complained of, I fine with it as the scent wears off after application (or is it that my nose grew "immune" to that particular scent...) Oh well! They are comfortable to wear, not drying to my lips, last for a good four to five hours (with only light eating and drinking) for my lippy. Overall, I love them all!
