I was in the bathroom at Target last week, and I looked in the mirror and realized for the millionth time that my Prune Drama Girl lipstick had completely worn off leaving just a shimmer of silver behind.

I got fed up and decided that I’d had it, I was buying another lipstick that I could actually keep on!

I always have trouble making up my mind when I’m deciding on a new lipcolor, and it’s even harder to pick one out with my husband staring over my shoulder (although this time he actually wasn’t rushing me), so after looking at every lipstick in Target, I ended up with N.Y.C Ultra Moist Lip Wear in Violet Shine.

Violet Shine looks mostly pink with a hint of violet, and it seemed to be the most similar color to Prune Drama Girl that I could find.

Violet shine is a tiny bit darker than my natural lip color, and a bit lighter and pinker than Prune Drama Girl.

Unfortunately, the similarities don’t stop there - the NYC ultra moist lip wear doesn’t last very long with my constant chapstick use either, but I don’t mind applying a 99 cent lipstick every hour as much as I mind applying the Lancome lipstick every hour.

The color is pretty, but I don’t think that I’d buy this again, unless they had a fabulous color that I couldn’t get anywhere else.

If you’ve tried N.Y.C. lipstick I’d love to hear what you think about it - leave a comment and let me know.

I’d also love to know about your favorite long wearing lipstick.

It seems I’m still on the search for the perfect one.
