does it work?? jelly job full-bodied shine gloss (nyx)

The name of the new NYX lip product is a little bizarre: Jelly Job. Despite the unusual name, the Jelly Job Full-Bodied Shine Gloss has received a lot of hype online recently, with influencers and beauty enthusiasts alike eager to share their reviews. There are all sorts of colours to choose from in the product line, but with a $21 CDN price, there are two questions that come to mind: does it work and is it worth purchasing? Keep reading for a full product description and review.

First thing is first. Many prices at the drugstore are completely ridiculous. The costs have increased significantly in recent years. I am aware that the cost of everything has increased across the board, but the increases in the drugstore makeup aisle are even more outrageous. (Especially when you look at brands like Essence, who are still able to keep the costs low and the quality high.) NYX has always been a little more expensive than other drugstore makeup brands in Canada, but $21 CDN for the Jelly Job Full-Bodied Shine Gloss is wild. This is a splurge and that is something to think about before adding it to your cart. 

Now for the product claims. According to the brand, the Jelly Job Full-Bodied Shine Gloss provided full-bodied shine and volumized-looking lips. NYX states that "our lightweight formula, paired with a new spatula applicator, delivers jelly-smooth shine and jelly-juicy volume, creating the glassy, high-shine lips of your dreams." There are nine shades to choose from and a cherry scent. The product is supposed to provide a glassy finish, smoother lips, volumized appearance, and no stickiness. 

So...does it work?? Eh. Sort of. There are some pros and cons to this drugstore lip product. The pros? The shade, Honey, It's Jelly, is a nice neutral and it offers lots of sparkle and shine. The cons? The price, the applicator, the scent, and the way this product feels on the lips. (Okay, so there are more cons than pros in this case.) The "new spatula applicator" that was described is fine, but it is essentially a hard plastic applicator that does not make application any easier or more comfortable. As for the cherry scent? It is really strong and a little overwhelming. The actual product feels sticky, goopy, and uncomfortable. While it looks beautiful, this is not a product that I would recommend. The quality did not impress me and neither did the cost.
