MESS New York Lip Varnish

by Shannon on November 25th, 2007

I recently discovered MESS New York, a mineral makeup boutique in NY. They use pure Mica in all of their products and I was intrigued by their Lip Varnish, which is supposed to be like a liquid lipstick. I have Murray Hill, which MESS describes as a “Pink Lemonade Glaze with a Fairy Dust Finish.” We all know how I love pink.

The Lip Varnish applicator is like that of a nail polish brush. Even though the Lip Varnish appears to be thicker than a gloss, it doesn’t go on clumpy. The consistency on your lips is not tacky and does provide the coverage that a frost lipstick would give you. MESS’ Lip Varnish also seems to last a bit longer than a typical gloss would last.

MESS New York is also available online and is currently having a sale of up to 60% off. www.messnewyork.com

    Sounds promising, I’ll look into it. I don’t know much about this mica though. Do you know where I can find more info on it? I’m honestly unfamiliar with it.

    yea, i mean mica is used in toothpaste to polish the tooth surface! however, mica also translates to “to glitter” in latin (thanks wikipedia) so we can’t deny the shine that this gloss will have. plus that color up there looks like such a gorg raspberry that i don’t think most people would even mind its all mica!
