NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

I was sent a NYC Liquid Lipshine in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster to test out and I just wanted to write a quick little blog on it. I had never tried this product before now, but let me just tell you that I should have. I haven’t been really wearing a lot of lip products lately (I usually wear my lips bare with a little bit of balm) and this product has changed that. First of all I fell in love with the color they sent me (Nude York City). This is the perfect nude color because it gives your lips a nude shine without making you look dead from overly pale lips. It has just enough of a tint in it to keep your lips looking full and healthy. I was also impressed by the staying power of this lip gloss. It is a little thick, which is a good thing because it makes the product cling to your lips longer, but it is not sticky at all. I also like the gloss because it doesn’t just sit on my lips; it actually moisturizes them due to the presence of vitamin E in the formula. The applicator is also awesome because it is flat on the sides so it allows for a smooth and even application. This gloss really is a great buy (and a steal at $2.49!) and is available in 10 different shades that can offer anyone a 3 dimensional gloss effect. You can find it at your local CVS, Duane Reade, Walgreens, Walmart, or wherever NYC products are sold or visit them on their website at www.newyorkcolor.com. All in all this is just yet another fantastic product from New York Color (they also make my favorite bronzer).

 

imPRESS Press On Manicure

    I received a complimentary imPRESS manicure set from Broadway nails to test through Influenster’s VoxBox. I applied my set in the pattern Dancing Queen (Zebra print) on Thursday night and I wanted to wait a little while to do a review on them. I know it’s only been two days, but so far I am in love with this product. They were extremely quick and easy to apply. The only slight issue I had is that I was watching something as I applied them and wasn’t paying attention and applied my left thumbnail first, which the instructions tell you to apply the thumbs last. Now I know why, the plastic tabs are MUCH easier to peel off when you don’t have the nail applied to your thumb. I was impressed with how good of a fit they have. The set comes with 24 nails in 12 different sizes, so that makes finding the perfect fit much easier. I have been using my hands normally and they are not lose or anything yet. The best thing about these nails is that they come in 36 colors and patterns (colors retail for $5.99 and patterns for $7.99 at Duane Reade, CVS, Walgreens, etc.).
