R.I.P Item: NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder

22 Jan

I just wanted to make a little announcement about something terrible. My favorite go-to, super cheap, matte, amazing, drugstore bronzer has been discontinued! NYC (New York Color) Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder is no longer in production as I was informed by a customer service representative today.  Seriously you guys, I wore this nearly everyday. It was the perfect shade to contour with and to give my fair skin a nice boost of color.  I’m disgusted that they felt the need to discontinue it!! I’m going to run out tomorrow to see if any of the stores nearby still have some in stock, but also to look for something to replace it.

It’s a sad sad day…

Products I’m Loving Right Now!~

19 Sep

These are just a few products I find myself using every day or just loving at the moment!

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in “Blue Me Away!”: I’m wearing this on my nails right now and it’s the ultimate look-at-me shade! So bright and gorgeous!  It goes on great and dries to a glossy finish.

Kiss My Face Peaches and Creme Moisturizer: This is my nighttime moisturizer. I apply it after washing my face before bed.  It’s really moisturizing and thick but it absorbs into my skin really quickly.  Also, it smells amazing!!  Just like the Kiss My Face line should.  It doesn’t quite smell like peaches and creme though, it’s more like peach ring candy!

Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quad in “Chai Latte”: I find myself reaching for this quad a lot since I purchased it.  It’s very soft and blendable, and surprisingly pigmented for a drugstore shadow.  I especially love the highlight and lid colors.

Softlips Strawberry Sherbet Lip Balm: Softlips lip balm has always been a favorite product of mine.  I usually use this right before bed to keep my lips moisturized all night.  It’s very light and makes your lips incredibly soft.  The strawberry scent is lovely too.

N.Y.C. 5-Way Concealer Palette: I use the salmon-colored concealer every day to hide my under eye circles.  The only downside to this palette is that it’s a little dry, unless you apply it with your fingers.  This actually makes application a lot quicker and that’s how I use it.

N.Y.C. Color Wheel Mosaic Face Powder in “Rose Glow”: I have a really fair complexion and this blush is the perfect everyday shade for me.  The colors blend together to make a light peachy pink shimmery blush.  It’s perfect for creating a natural healthy glow.

Bargain Finds: N.Y.C. Liquid Eyeliner

8 Sep

new-york-color-liquid-eyeliner_1198083757_LRG

Pros:

~Availability: New York Color products can be found practically anywhere. In fact, I bought this liner at my local Wal-Mart.

~Formula: The formula is awesome! Not to runny or thick, and very pigmented.

~Lasting power: For me, this liner lasts all day without flaking or smudging.  I’ve read about others having problems with this, but I haven’t found any.

~Brush: The super skinny brush makes it so easy to apply. Its long, thin, and flexible which makes application not only flawless, but really quick.

~Price: This is the best part: N.Y.C.’s Liquid Eyeliner is only $1.99 (USD). Seriously.

~Other good things: It’s fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.

Cons:

~None! I honestly can’t find anything wrong with this product!

New York Color’s Liquid Eyeliner gets 5/5 stars, it’s the overall best liquid liner I’ve tried!~
