NYC New York Color

As I already wrote in another post, today I received an AMAZING early birthday present....my Influenster holiday VoxBox!!

In the box I had quite a number of cool things, but I'm just focusing on one product specifically in this post. That product would be NYC New York Color LIQUIDLipshine!

Straight from the city that never sleeps, NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway!

A beauty-editor favorite is Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias. Start shopping for NYC at these stores nearest you: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others. Visit NewYorkColor.com to check out all shades and fun products from New York Color!

I received the color "Nude York City" which is a super cute play on words, however, I'm not really a nude lip girl. Give me red any day of the week and I'll be happy! Keeping that in mind I decided to try it anyway....and I'm glad I did!

The color isn't too overwhelming nor does it wash me out which is what I would expect a nude to do since I'm pretty pale. The texture is just right, not that sticky and the glitter is fine enough to not irritate me ("sandpaper" lip gloss is a pet peeve of mine).

Don't be dissuaded from picking up any of the NYC products thinking it's junk because of the price, it truly is a great brand for a great price and today that's a super bonus!

imPRESS Press-on Manicure!

Today I received an AMAZING early birthday present....my Influenster holiday VoxBox!!

In the box I had quite a number of cool things, but I'm just focusing on one product specifically in this post. That would be the imPRESS Press-on Manicure from Broadway Nails in color 110 Joyride (a pretty dark sparkly red)!

The packaging alone would make me pick these up because it's done so perfectly!

This changes everything!

For a full list of online and in-store retailers, visit imPressManicure.com, where you can download an exclusive coupon and virtually try on all the colors and patterns!

Personally, I'm partial to any of the red colors they have (such as: Joyride, Tweetheart, Control Freak, and Call My Agent) as well as nearly all the patterns (such as: Holla!, Payback, Dancing Queen, and Lovestruck). I think you could easily combine more than one set such as Text Appeal on each nail, but use Lil Drumr Girl on your accent nail for a unique look!
