Overveiw and Review-New York Colors

  Hey hey hey!  I'm back!  I want to start a new mini series of overviews (collections of one category) and review the products loosely for time and length matters! I will link all the previous O&Rs in the posts, but not this one because it is the first!
  Nail Polish: In a Minute-$1.72 @ Walmart

• 247 Prince Street- A shimmery purple that is kinda sheer, but layers well. 9/10
• 296 Water Street Blue- A creamy bright blue (My fav) That only takes two coats to be beautifully opaque. 10/10
• 206B East Villiage- A shimmery teal that is not as opaque as 296 but more than 247. 9/10

  Nail Polish: Regular-$.93 @ Walmart

• 105 Starry Silver Glitter- Great for tying together ombre or sponging. hard to get off though. 9/10
• 146A Love Letters- Perfect for French tips or really nude nails. 10/10
• 133 Purple Pizzaze Frost- A unique royal purple tye dye kinda color that looks really good! 10/10
• 112 Times Square Tangerine Creme- This is a neon orange that is kinda weird and turns a gross color ofter a few days...6/10

  Face:

• Blushable Cream Stick in Big Apple Blush- I love this! It is a gorgeous mauvy kinda pink with no shimmer. The texture is amazing and I highly recommend! 10/10
• Cover Stick in Yellow- Sometimes it help, sometimes it doesn't. It wears off and creases easily... 5/10
• Loose Powder in Translucent- The only problem with this is that it irritates my skin on sensitive days. 9/10

  Eyes:

• Kohl Eye and Brow Pencil in 925 Sable- These aren't my choice eyeliners but I can work with them. 7/10
• Eyeshadow Color Wheel in Beyond the Sea and Purple Rain- These are soft and pigmented and if you can find them, try them! 10/10
• Eyeshadow Single in 905 Gossip Girl- A gorgeous pinky champagne that works for the lid or browbone! Not as pigmented as other shadows but it works. 9/10

  Lips:

• Lip Tins in Sugar Angle, Sugar Baby, Sugar Kiss- These are all kinda sticky and goopy but they moisturize nicely. 7/10
• Liquid Lip Shine in 555u Iced Orchid- I love this. it is smooth and creamy and one of the best! 10/10
• Extreme Lip Glider in Park Ave Pink- A beautiful baby pink that glides on and tastes like watermelon 10/10
• Smooch Proof Lip Stain in Champagne Stain- This does not last. That is what a stain does. It smells, looks and feels great. But it doesn't stay on. 7/10
• Long Wear Color in Berry Rich- I love this formula! It is creamy, moisturizing, and long wearing! I got this purply shade though, so I don't wear it as much. 10/10
• Regular $1 in Petal- These smell so bad! They are really sheer but greasy so to get color you need to layer on a bunch but then it is gooping on your lips. 2/10

SO that is my overveiw! Tell me below, what your favorite NYC product is or what you are thinking of buying...Have a good day everyone!h

MyGlam Brushes

  Hey! I am back! Meg from Show Your True Colors asked me to do a review on these and so here it is! BTW, I don't always use my own pictures. Sometimes I have to use Google images because if I wait to use a camera, it takes me forever to upload ans then I forget. I would appreciate it if no one left comments on the matter. Thanks!

  I only have 3 but that is how many have come out. First thing I want to say is that these are really good! The eyeshadow brush is about 2/3 the size of the Elf Essential Eyeshadow brush and I have so much more control! I use it everyday! The fluffy blending brush is bigger than the one I have from Mary Kay and is perfect for blending harsh lines but not so much for applying crease colors. The eyeliner brush isn't stiff but not to flexible either. it is very fine and can make a thin or a thicker line making it good for under the eye!

After I washed the fluffy brush once (even with conditioner) it got scratchy! Not unusable but not as silky soft. I haven't washed the others but I hope they don't get scratchy. I do use them every single day and I love them! I hope that they continue to send them out (maybe a pencil brush?). Sadly you cant buy them now but I think they will send out more! Hope you enjoyed! Love you!

Glam Bag! April 2012

So this was MyGlam's last chance on me...I am sad to say that, I will indeed, not be able to try Birchbox, because they have won me back! They had a gorgeous bag, great products and wonderful brushes!

picture found at http://www.minaslater.com/

  The Bag: It is a shiny, metallic baby pink like the packaging of the first Glam Bag. I love it! It is my second favorite (1st is February)
  The Contents: No Coupons!!! Thank you for finally listening to us!
~ All-Belle Eyelashes: These are supposed to be really comfortable and comes with a, supposedly, good glue. I cant wait to wear these because none of the eyelashes I have tried are good.
~ DermStore Lip Quench-Moisture Infused Lip Treatment: This smells so good! It also works really well! Any signs of chapped lips were gone after using this once! Have you tried it?
~ Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Radium: Happy day. I have been wanting to try this eyeliner for such a long time but I dont want to spend $18 on it! Now I can Compare formulas to the Nyx Slide-on Eyeliners before buying a full sized one of the Urban Decay version.
~ MyGlam All-Over Eyeshadow Brush: I love the MyGlam brushes! They are pink and black and have really soft bristles. This is smaller than the average eyeshadow brush but that is really good because theya re usually big.
~ MyGlam Eyeliner Brush: An angled eyeliner brush is not what I need! But it is perfect for eyeliner because it is not thick but not too flimsy. I really enjoy these! Cant wait for more!

Thank you for reading and tell me if you want reviews! <3-

Haul 21-Needs and Sales

So, I bought most of these with my own money except a few things! Tell me if you want a review or something. I will do a nail polish collection after my birthday. It is towards the end of April so by May 1st!
 NYX: ULTA
*Mega Shine Gloss in Sugar Pie-A perfect shimmery nude color for smokey eyes.
*Mega Shine Gloss in Nude Pink-great creamy (no shimmer) gloss for everyday. I compared it to Beige and this one is a little better for now.
*Mega Shine Gloss in Golden Pink-a deeper pink with a golden shimmer and glimmer! Wonderful to spice up a plain look.h
*Jumbo Eye Pencil in Lime-a universal green to use with mineral eye shadows. This and the next are the only ones I could find with wood instead of plastic.
*Jumbo Eye Pencil in Strawberry Milk-Perfect for intense color that stands out.
*Eyeshadow Trio in TS15 Aloha/Mink Brown/Deep Bronze-So soft and creamy with beautiful colors. This looks similar to Cover Girl's Shimmering Sands I think (I don't have it).
*Ultra Pearl Mania Eyeshadow in Oro Pearl-a gorgeous bronzey gold without glitter but it looks metallic!
ESSENCE: ULTA
*Regular Liquid Eyeliner-I don't have any liquid eyeliner so this extremely matte black is great to try since I needed to get one.
BOOKS: SAM'S CLUB
*The Hunger Games Trio by Suzanne Collins-I love these books and I got them all hard back for $31.54! How cool is that! I needed them!
ELF: WALMART
*Studio Blush Brush- The one I had made my face hurt so I decided to get the studio brand from Elf that is really soft.
*Studio Complexion Brush- the same story for the two powder brushes I have. It looks really fluffy!
So that is my haul and I just want to say, Happy Easter everyone!

Eyebrows By Essence

 Sorry everyone! I have not been posting that often and I hope I can kick it up a notch. I have had writers block and couldnt think of anything to write until now! I have been using the same eyebrow routine for a while now and wanted to share because it is really good for me!

  I dont over pluck my eyebrows (if anything I need to do it more often). I have some thinner parts and some that are really thick. it looks rediculous in my opinion. To fill them in, my entire routine costs about $2. The two Essence products I use are the Eyebrow Designer Pencil ($1) and the Clear Brow and Lash Gel ($1). These are at Ulta and I dont need a comb because the pencil has one!

The gel is optional but it is what makes it so I dont have to touch up my brows throughout the day.

But honestly this is the coolest packaging ever. Totally. It last long and If I am in a hurry, I can use just this because it has a good effect but lasts longer and applies faster that the pencil. What are your favorite eyebrow products? Inexpensive or not? Do you want full out reviews on these? Love YOU~~~!!!!
