Some legends are sweet, like these bright candy-colored glosses in The Legends Lip Gloss Set ($15) by NYX.
Not only do they look like candy, but they taste like it, too (like the sugary outer layer on Sour Patch kids, yum!).
The kit comes with five lipglosses in Classic Pink, Classic Coral, Classic Red, Classic Fuchsia and Classic Violet, all of which start bright when you apply them but sheer down to about 50% intensity over the first 10 minutes or so.
The moderately thick, semi-sticky formula lasts about two hours for me.
I’m kinda bummed they aren’t as bright and I wanted them to be…but I still think they’ll be fun layering glosses, especially with bright lipsticks.
PRICE: $15 for a set of five glosses
AVAILABILITY: Available now at NYX counters and online

For $15 I think it’s worth a shot, the colors look really pretty. I really like the Classic Pink and the Classic Violet.

You mentioned Sour Patch Kids so naturally my mouth is watering beyond control. Hang on a sec…I’m slobbering on my keyboard…
Is this a different gloss than the regular line? The packaging on that is square so…I wonder if the formula is different too?

Classic violet is pretty 🙂 I wish it were as purple (blue purple) in the swatch as it is in the tube, but I’m not surprised that it’s more magenta on.

These sound great and I love that they taste like Sour Patch Kids! I think there is room for a Classic Nude shade, but the five that are included are beautiful!
Amber says
These are SO gorgeous!! I love the look of the neutral set too but I think I already have so many shades similar. I’m such a sucker for the NYX gloss formulas (most of them!) Thanks for the great swatches. I can’t wait to find these!

Hi Amber,
You’re welcome. I hope you love these and find them useful. I’ve been wearing them a lot as layering glosses. They’re great on top of nude lipsticks.
Speaking of NYX, have you tried the Macaron lippies yet? What do you think?
