New York Color Expert Last Lip Color Mattes in Smooth Beige, Creamy Mauve, Pure Coral, Velvety Fuchsia & Red Suede

OUUU. AHHH. New matte drugstore lippies. The New York Color Expert Last Lip Colors ($1.99) are now available in 5 MATTE shades - Smooth Beige, Creamy Mauve, Pure Coral, Velvety Fuchsia, and Red Suede. All are pretty colours. But sadly, these are not matte. 

It's clear that there's a sheen to these lipsticks. I'd say the texture is more of a satin finish, not much different from the original New York Color Expert Last Lip Colors (reviewed here). Perhaps the shine is a tad less shiny and more opaque but hardly so. In general, the formula is the same for both products - comfortable wear for up to 4 hours, strong vanilla scent, and a slight drag on application. As per usual, the two lighter colours catch on to dry patches and I'm in love with the three most vibrant colors. 

448 Smooth Beige

449 Creamy Mauve

450 Pure Coral 

451 Velvety Fuchsia

452 Red Suede

Overall, the New York Color Expert Last Lip Colors are great budget lipstick buy. However, in the grand scheme of product quality, they are mediocre. The colours are pretty but not particularly unique and they are most certainly not as matte as I had hoped for them to be. 

Have you ever tried a matte lipstick that wasn't matte?
