Review : NYC SMOOTH SKIN PERFECTING PRIMER

The NYC Smooth Skin Perfecting primer is a very favorite of mine. Not only is it greatly priced (3.99$), it also gives many great features to the skin. Filled with Vitamin E, it makes the skin smoother and moisturizes it. It also minimizes the appearance of pores. It's long lasting and helps your makeup stay on a lot longer. It has a shimmer to it, so it gives a natural looking-like glow to your face and you can even use it as a highlighter on the high points of your face. What I didn't like about it was the smell, but then again, very few makeup products have good smells. I would recommend this, especially if you are a beginner in the field of makeup or if you do not want to break your wallet's heart.

Review & First Impression: NYC Sparkle Eye Dust


 A big problem for every girl out there is the pigmentation of eyeshadows... well let me tell you that these little bad boys will not be disapointing you in the field of pigmentation. For only 2.99$, these individual eyeshadow come in 10 different shades. After applying it for the first time, it looked as if I had applied 3 different colors, blended one into each other; if you positioned yourself a certain way, you could see many different shades of the color you had applied. I loved the packaging very much, you could clearly see the colors. 

Color from left to right : Smokey Topaz, Golden Champagne, Aquamarine Sparkle, Brilliant Sapphire

Review & First Impression: NYC Ultra Moist Lipwear


I have always been a big fan of NYC products, for the price at which these products are sold, there are a lot of amazing deals you can find; one of those products that I am so in love with are these Ultra Moist Lipwear. These lipsticks that come in 10 different shades swipe amazingly on your lips leaving them very smooth and  moisturized for the time they are applied on. On the website, these are priced as 0.99$ for each individual lipstick; a very great price for the quality it offers.

Color on picture (from left to right) : Blossom, Sheer Red, Violet Shine.

-Very great packaging.
-Feels great while using it, no uncomfortable feeling for the hand during appliance.
-Can see the color very well, accurate to what is shown, before unpacking.
