Review:New York Color Liquid Lip Shine By NYC Cosmetics

[Image from Influenster.com]

I received this NYC Liquid lip shine in the color Nude New York through the Influenster VoxBox program. I have always loved NYC cosmetics products so I was very excited about receiving this product to try out. It have pure pigments that create a 3D gloss effect and is infused with Vitamin E that provides shine and moisture for your lips.This formula is non sticky and provides excellent shine and soft lips. It comes in 10 different shades from nudes to brights. It can be purchased at many different Drugstores.

Again I say I was super excited to try out this product due to my love of the brand in general. The color I received was Nude New York and it is a beige color with a silver shine almost to it. I tried it on and it is not sticky and moisturizes the lips pretty well and the color lasts a while. The color does transfer although onto cups and food when you eat or drink something which personally I can live with. So I will defiantly be purchasing more colors to try out!.

Review:impress Press on Nails by Broadway

I received these impress Press on Nails by Broadway Nails through Influenster VoxBox program. These nails are perfect for girls who simply don't have time to get a manicure or give themselves one. Its quick easy and long lasting and really simple to do all you do is fit the nail to your own, peel off the plastic backing, stick and hold for 10 seconds and you have an awesome manicure! It comes in 36 colors and patterns they retail for $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns and are available at most drugstores.

When I tried these nails I was very skeptical because on past press ons I have tried before have ruined my nails. So I had my doubts about these but to my surprise these were easy to apply and take off to. So since the removal was so easy my actual nails weren't effected at all. They last for a long time but can get nicks just as easily or even more easily then regular nail polish. All together though these nails were great and I defiantly would buy them again if I needed to use a press on nail system.

The x out wash-in treatments formulated to help kill the bacteria that causes breakouts, it helps prevent pimples and even out skin. The x out treatment works to lift away dirt and leaves behind a medication to help keep pores clean. It is sold in a 30 day supply and comes with shine control to help with excess oil and is sold for $19.95.

I tried this product through the Influensters VoxBox program, I used this product as a spot treatment so far. It dried out the spots fast and by the next morning the were reduced dramatically. I would defiantly recommend this product as a spot treatment because it really does work. This products active ingredient is benzoyl peroxide which helps kill bacteria. You can use it as a facial cleanser, mask or a spot treatment. It has a creamy texture and has microbeads that exfoliate your skin which cleansing it. All around this product is a good one.

Review: Profusion Cosmetics





I found this brand of makeup while looking around the beauty section. I decided to try it because the price of the product. For only 4.99 you get 39 eyeshadows and three blushes.

The shadows you get are quite pigmented and you can use the wet or dry. In the swatches above I did not use a primer so when a primer is used the color will be much richer. The blushes on the right are pretty pigmented as well although they come off a little bit chalky so you have to blend them well.


You can buy Profusion products at walgreens if you are interested or on their website.I am in no way sponsored by this company and payed for the products myself.

Brown Dramatic Eye For Fall

This is a great look for fall using the Urban Decays Naked Palette.


Start out with a fresh clean face and then apply a moisturizer and a primer.

Then apply your foundation and concealer and set it with powder. [The flash makes my face look tan in the first picture but its actually pale like this] I used mac's mineralize foundation in NC20, select cover-up in NW20, and mineralize skin finish natural in Medium.

Then apply a light dusting of a light bronzer to your entire face. I used N.Y.C. smooth skin bronzing face powder.

Apply a peach or bronze blush color to the apples of your cheeks and work it into your hairline. I used mac's melba.

Add a highlight color to your cheek bones, bridge of the nose, chin, above the brows and in the inner corners of the eyes. I used mac's Perfect Topping.
Fill in your brows. I used naked and buck from urban decay.

Apply a light champagne shade onto the lid. I used Macs mineralize skin finish natural in medium for an eyeshadow.

Apply a coppery brown to your crease and outer v. I used smog from Urban Decay.
Blend a darker brown into the outer V. I used Hustle by Urban Decay.
Apply a highlight to your brow bone. I used Virgin by Urban Decay.
Smudge a black shadow across the upper lash line and wing it out a bit. I used creep by Urban Decay.
Smudge a brown shadow on your lower lash line, curl your lashes and apply a black mascara. I used smog by Urban Decay. I used L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara.

Product Review: L.A Girl Crackle Polish


Hey everyone, I've been wanting to try out crackle nail lacquer for a while but wanted to try one under 5 dollars since I wasn't sure if I would like it or not. So I went to my local rite aide and saw this crackle polish by L.A. Girl for only 3.99 a bottle. So I decided to give it a go and I absolutely love it, I have only tried the black one so I can't say for the other colors but the black is great. Only you have to use a thicker coat or the crackle effect isn't as good. The other colors it comes in is white, light blue, pink, red, silver,purple and royal blue.

Drugstore Finds



I went to cvs a few days ago and picked up a few things. I got some great deals too hope you enjoy the couple things I picked up!
I got this gorgeous shimmery nude lipstick, it gives a sheer coverage but gives a beautiful effect over darker shades making them less deep and overpowering. It also gives a wonderful glossy effect if worn alone on bare lips. This lipstick is around 7.00 but I got it on sale for 3.00.
I also purchased this lipstick its a beautiful bubble gum pink, it gives a wonderful pink tint to the lips. It has a slight sparkle to it in the bullet form but when on the lips gives more of a gloss finish. This would normally cost around 7.00 but I got it on sale for just 2.00!
I bought this lip stain from NYC Cosmetics, I have already tried two other colors of this brand of lip stain and loved them so I decided to pick up another. It is a deep red color and costs 4.99.
This eyeshadow from milani has a beautiful red pink color to it, it also has flecks of gold sparkle in it. When on the skin it gives more of a pink finish with a gold sparkle to it. This eyeshadow retails at 7.00 but I got it on sale for 4.00.
I also picked up this glitter eyeliner from Wet n Wilds Fantasy Makers collection. It gives off beautiful sparkle but when touch moves easily I haven't tried it in with a primer so I will see if that helps. This retails for 4.00.
I also picked up this lip gloss by NYC for halloween looks and just because i've never actually seen a black lipgloss before. It is quite pigmented and has silver flecks of sparkle in it. It retails for around 3.00.
