I just got the Coralberry shade which is a nice pink with only a hint of orange mixed in. I'm not happy with the coverage of it; on me it took a lot of swipes to see the colour against my lip tone, and afterwards I feel that the colour is depositing unevenly. As well the matte effect does not work with me and with this stick it's an absolute must to go over top with a gloss coat to even things out and make it pop. It'll do for me for now as a casual day lip enhancer. I think it just isn't working for me in particular, but the colour swatch on my wrist looked amazing. Maybe I'll try another shade.

I used to love these in the old formula. Shine City was a staple of mine! The new formula has a lot of shine and some interesting colors - but is is very drying. I own Berry Allure (225) and it leaves an odd, bright pink stain that I wasn't expecting from a gloss. In an misguided attempt to try again (I was thinking maybe it's just Berry Allure that's a dud) I also tried Super Natural (which is quite similar to NYX Natural) and Snow Pink and I returned both.
