Review: I Nuovi Megalips Velvetshine Chinatown Glam

October 2, 2009 Paris B 9 Comments

I Nuovi has a new lip product that I think will be a hit. Over time, I’ve discovered that I belong in a minority of women who prefer using lipstick over lipgloss. Recognizing this, I Nuovi has a new Megalips Velvetshine lipstick/lipgloss to cater to BOTH categories of women!

The product comes in a dualended tube with 2 different applicators. On one end is the Lip Shine which has a sponge tipped doe foot applicator like a regular gloss.

The other end has the Lip Velvet which has a brush applicator as is commonly found in liquid lipstick.

My colour is Chinatown Glam which is, as you have seen a very bright combination – not for the faint hearted! However, the formula allows you to modulate the intensity of colour so you can wear it as sheer or as strong as you like.

I like the Lip Shine – its sheer and glossy yet not thick and goopy as regular lipgloss tends to be. It goes on very smoothly and I get a lovely slick of red lips toned down for the office on days when I’m feeling nice. There is a light Vanilla scent that does not bug me but which thankfully fades quite quickly.

On days when I’m feeling a little more daring, I use the Lip Velvet which is of a thicker consistency and more pigmented. It goes on very pigmented and despite the Velvet name, does not go on matte but shiny and shimmery. In Chinatown Glam, the Lip Velvet is rather dark red. Nothing over the top though. I do find it a little too metallic and drying on its own so I’d recommend you layer this for best effect.

When I really want to go all out, I layer them one over the other. If I layer Lip Velvet over Lip Shine, I get a super strong lip. But if I do it the other way round and layer Lip Shine over Lip Velvet, I get a more toned down lip colour that is glossy as opposed to shimmery. I like both shades!

By this reckoning, I’m getting 4 colours out of 1 tube of lip product – not bad at all! The colour lasts despite all that glossiness. I can make it through to lunch without touching up even though I’ve been drinking water and coffee.

Each Megalips Velvetshine retails at I Nuovi stores and counters for RM60 (Malaysia) or S$30 (Singapore) or US$25 (online)

Pros: Versatile lip colour, Lipshine is Non drying and not sticky, Pigmented colour and lasts on lips

Cons: Lip Velvet can be a little drying, Color swatches online are off – see Chinatown Glam online and see the actual color above and you’d know what I mean

Prettybeautiful likes Chinatown Glam too and Connie likes Barely French 🙂

If you aren’t feeling very brave, don’t go for Chinatown Glam but try one of the other 8 more subtle shades available in the I Nuovi Megalips Velvetshine range. I’ve seen the magic Chinatown Glam can weave so I’m thinking of trying one of the more subtle colours to see if it can be amped up. Perhaps Harajuku Chic or Sahara Magic or even Latin Lover. You? 🙂

Stay beautiful,

Paris B

      Hi Synaesthesia

      I’m like that with glosses. Rarely wear them yet get tempted to buy. Thanks for your comment – just the lip velvet alone is really quite sexy 😉

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
