Hi Ladies,
NYC was nice enough to send me samples of their Cheek Glow, City Proof Lip Gloss and Sparkle Eye Dust which turned out to be perfect for spring! I spent Easter Sunday getting brunch with a girl friend and chatting for hours...it was great! What did you do?
(P.S. The earrings and watch are from my April Wantables Box and the necklace is from Hautelook.) Have a great day!

Here's what I thought of each:
- NYC Cheek Glow: West Side Wine
- Pros: Sheer Wine color. The color didn't show up well in the photographs, but gave a natural flush in real life. It's about $3!
- Cons: Not an intense color, if that's what you are looking for.
- NYC Up to 8 Hr City Proof Lip Gloss: Mauving All Night
- Pros: Lite, non sticky feeling. It's about $3! Color is pretty, although mauve isn't my thing. (Lips lined with Prestige Cosmetics Lipliner - LOVE).
- Cons: It didn't last 8 hours like the name implies. I'd say that it's similar to any lip gloss and stays on as long as you aren't eating or drinking.
- NYC Sparkle Eye Dust: Golden Champagne
- Pros: I REALLY like how this looks on! I blended it over the lid and then went back and lined my eye. It's about $3! Plus, it stayed on for about 8 hours without creasing or loosing intensity. (I used a primer.)
- Cons: It's a loose powder. The applicator stops it from getting all over the place, but it does get all over your eye area when you apply it. During the day, I constantly felt like the flakes were getting in my eye, although I have to say that this is a common issue for me. :)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteOoh, I'm sorry you didn't like the mauve lipcolor! I think it looks really pretty on you! Actually all of the colors look great on you, so either you chose well or they did. They must have used your vibrationally sound color chart. :) (I don't know what that means but now I have to look it up! Thanks!! LOL) Also, your wantables earrings are fab.

Ahh LOVE that eye shadow! I can't believe it's $3! Definitely checking that out
ReplyDeleteYep...gotta love the price!
DeleteVery pretty. The eye shadow is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteHow gorgeous do you look! Your makeup is so beautiful, and I really like how you matched it with the colour of your top, which is such a lovely colour (I'm a little obsessed with pink and pastel colours haha). Your accessories are so great as well! Love the entire look :) Thanks again for looking at my blog Merrie! x
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been obsessed with pink lately too :)
DeleteOh Merrie! I love the soft and colorful pastels on you! Both the jewelry and your makeup. You look like spring come to life. So beautiful. Eye shadow always falls down my face no matter what I do so I finally tried the Clinique chubby stick and love it.
