NYC Liquid Lipshine


I love a lipgloss but don't like ones that are really sticky. I have tried many lipglosses, but the one I keep coming back to is the NYC Liquid Lipshine. There is a great selection of shades but the two I use the most are 580 (Rivington Rose) and 578 ( Bowery Blush). Both are ideal for a natural lip look with just a hint of colour.
 


 


Have you tried these lovelies?
 
 

*I've been terrible with Brand Appreciation Week so I am now making it Brand Appreciation Month in the hopes that I will post once a week about my favourite brands*

NYC Foil Explosion

I'm a sucker for NYC Nail Polishes, I love the bright colours and how they last for ages without chipping. I've also been feeling the whole metallic nails trend. You can only imagine my excitement when I received them at a blogger meetup.


L-R Enchanting Fire, Aqua Mystic, Pure Air, Magic Earth, Power Of Elements

There are five shades in the collection and they retail at €1.99. I pretty much like all five of them, however I find Pure Air (the orangey one) takes a couple of coats to get it looking all even stevens.
 
 
Will you be trying these lovelies?
 
 
*This post was meant to be part of my NYC Appreciation week which I never got around to finishing. There are 2 more posts coming this week showing the love for NYC and then I will be moving onto my next brand*

NYC Smooth Skin Mousse Foundation

I'm always on the lookout for a budget friendly foundation that covers up imperfections and doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. I have found just that in NYC Smooth Skin Foundation Mousse. 
 
 I purchase 703 for when I have a false tan
 
 

I’ve never really been been a fan mousse foundations, usually finding they dry out my skin and look really gick on. This lovely is different though. The mousse is soft and glides onto your skin. The overall finish is one of a flawless nature and tends to last pretty well throughout the day.
 
Since first receiving this for review, I have repurchased it a couple of times, after all for €3.99 you can't go far wrong.

NYC False Eyelashes

I very rarely wear false eyelashes. Not that I don't love them but I find applying them on myself a complete nightmare. Give me a row of girls to put them on and I'll be grand but no such luck when I'm putting them on myself. I've tried many brands of eyelashes from the cheap and cheerful to mid range. Ones I keep returning to are the NYC ones, they are a great price and have a lovely selection to choose from.

Here are my favourite style (#974)


*I had planned on wearing them last week but an allergic reaction to another eye product meant they will be kept for another day*

I love how they are pretty natural but have a bit of Va Va Voom to them. I have tiny eyes so I need to trim these lovelies quite a bit but that's nothing major. All the NYC lashes are self adhesive but I would recommend using something like Duo Glue or the Eyelure Lash Glue to give them a bit of staying power.
