Loading ...NYC, my favourite make up brand, kindly sent me a bundle of products to try out and review! I’ve been wearing their make up ever since I started earning. They’re possibly the cheapest make up out there, but don’t be put off by this – their quality is amazing and such value for money.
The “Rose Glow Colour Wheel Mosaic Face Powder” is hands down my favourite blusher out there. I love the cream rose and brown tones of the palette, the colours really do come together to form a rich glow. I bought this product when it was new, but unfortunately lost it on a night out a while ago, so could not believe it when it was in my package! Its so easy to use aswell, no fuss just simply applied with a brush (can’t be doing with all the mousses/small blusher products out there!). I do love my blusher! As a super pale girl, I love adding a bit of pink glaze to my porcelain foundation!
I love dramatic eye make up. In the past year or so I’ve looked up to Taylor Momsen for embracing the gothic eyeliner and dark eyes. I literally never leave the house with black eyes so to speak! I don’t feel myself without it. I’ve been struggling without liquid eyeliner so receiving the NYC version was a godsend. I created light flicks on both sides of my eye for a more dramatic effect. I then used The NYC “Metro Quartet Eyeshadow” brown shade all over my eyelid and cream at the sides. A bit of a change from my usual heavy black Urban Decay appliance, but I really love this look!
notice the flicks! really love this. Notice the slight pink glow on my cheeks!
i think my eyes look really smokey and effective!
I then added the Sparkle Eye Dust under my eyes to create a glittery shimmering effect. This really dazzled when it caught the light. To top off my look I used the “Lip Sliders Tinted Sugar Fairy Lip Balm” which although was quite sticky and thick, stayed on for a long time and kept my lips nice and shiny, plus it smelt good too!
can see the brown more in this photo!
So that was my lovely NYC package! I’ve been spoilt rotten with make up recently, which I’m not complaining about. I’ve also spoilt myself, by buying some jewellery online. My two favourites:
I do love my kitsch jewellery! Anyway I best get some shut eye, I have university at 10am tomorrow. Then come Thursday night I’ll be attending the Barry M Beauty Evening in Warrington, can’t wait to get some bargains! Barry M is amazing and I swear by its nail varnish. Until next time xo
P.S sorry for the quality of the photos, I got my new iPhone and I’m truly obsessed with it, I love it like a baby. Plus my big camera is on charge!
