In New Zealand, true beauty bargains are hard to find due to how freaking expensive cosmetics are here. Fortunately, the internet exists but it will never beat wandering the aisles of Farmers and stumbling upon something that catches your eye at a price that won't make you cringe.
Enter BYS. I've used a few of their products before - mainly nail polishes, but they recently entered the market via Kmart. After reading a post on xoVain about clear lip glosses, I was keen to get my own but ended up falling back into old ways AKA buying what I wanted but in purple.
Fortunately for me, it wasn't such a bad choice. I usually hate wearing lip glosses but I feel so abnormal walking around uni in full makeup so I usually omit the lipstick in favour of a Revlon lip butter or tinted lip balms.
This product reminds me of the makeup I used as a kid - pungent candy scents, little to no pigmentation but so much fun. BYS's megashine lipglosses are exactly that - they smell like candy (in this case bublegum) and leave your lips glossy and gorgeous.
As you can see, there is very little pigmentation. It applies pretty much like a clear gloss unless you pack it on like you did when you were 8. It is long lasting, even through drinking (eating, not so much) and it smells ridiculously tacky and amazing.
I love how this product is like a throwback to my childhood but still maintains itself as a serious product. After using this, I'd consider buying a clear one to put over matte lipsticks due to the staying power this product has. It was super cheap too at $5NZD. You do get what you pay for, don't go expecting some miracle product, but it works and I love it.
What was your favourite childhood lipgloss?
