Review- NYC IndividualEyes Custom Compact

I found this compact when I went to a trip to Walmart. I bought it in 943 smokey green.
I never bought NYC eyeshadow before so I didn't know what to expect, but I was really impressed! I might have to start buying more eyshadow's from them.
The color payoff is great, in the swatches that's only on pass without the base they supply you with.
The base or primer is thick but it doesn't crease and the eyeshadows blend well over top of it.
I didn't really use the highlighter but gives you a nice highlight without looking too shimmery.

My Rating (Scale 1-5 1-the worst, 5-the best)
Quality- 5
Packaging- 4.5
How long does it stay on- All day
Would I buy it again- Yes!
Price- $5.00 CAD
Overall- It's a great compact! and works great for green eyes
Where to buy- Any drugstore that carries NYC products.

Mini Reviews #1! Physicians Formula, CoverGirl, NYC

Hey guys, happy weekend!  I've been saying for awhile now that I've had several products waiting to be reviewed.  Since I still haven't found time to write up full reviews of them, I decided doing "mini reviews" would be a good solution.  Today I have four products to share with you, from Physicians Formula, CoverGirl, and NYC.

(Note: for more info/photos of the PF Happy Booster blush and NYC lip stain, please visit my recent favorites post, here!)

Clockwise from top left: Physicians Formula Happy Booster blush in Natural, Physicians Formula Conceal RX in Soft Green, CoverGirl NatureLuxe foundation in 315 Bamboo, NYC Smooch-Proof lip stain in Forever Mine Wine

Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting blush in Natural

Hello, pretty!  I raved about this in my previous favorites post (link at the beginning of this post), and I love it here, too.  A lot of it has to do with the cuteness factor, I'll admit it- I really loathe shimmer blushes, but the fact that it SMELLS LIKE VIOLET, is decked in hearts, and is the prettiest peachy-pink shade allows me to overlook that small fact.  The packaging is kind of bulky, and as I opened it for the first time the piece where the top locks into place broke off.  As long as I don't lift up the blush part to use the brush underneath it's fine, but still kind of off-setting.  At any rate, the product itself is gorgeous!

Physicians Formula Conceal Rx Physicians Strength in Soft Green

Physicians Formula has to be the drugstore brand with the longest names ever.  The blush I'm mini-reviewing in the post has one too.  Who has time for that?!  When you're finally finished saying the name you've forgotten what you're talking about.  I digress.

I bought this concealer about a month ago, totally meant to review it, but forgot about it because it has gotten practically no use from me.  I thought the idea of a green concealer would be great.  This one, however, is too thick and cakey- the thickness is too much to blend easily and it's incredibly dry.  It also doesn't look good underneath your skin-colored concealer; it turned my skin an ashy color.  Not a fan, but I would love to know if anyone has tried it and made it work for them!

CoverGirl NatureLuxe foundation in 315 Bamboo

I've been using this off and on since I got it about a month ago.  The color is a tiny bit dark for my face, but it still works.  The only thing I dislike about this foundation is the coverage- I can't stand foundation/face makeup that gets into the "medium coverage" category, because even that feels too heavy to me.  This feels a little heavy even though it is I think technically "lightweight" coverage.  I love the squeeze bottle, though- the packaging makes me think it's a tinted moisturizer sometimes!  The finish is just right for me- not overly dewy, but not matte, either.  I always top my foundations with some type of powder (whether its bronzer or translucent), so this is no exception.  If I wasn't so picky about the coverage levels of my face makeup, I'd probably love this. 

NYC Smooch-Proof 16 hour lip stain in Forever Mine Wine

This has got to be my favorite out of the bunch!  I use it every time I want a deep, "seductive" lip that I don't have to worry about too much throughout the day.  It lasts me a good four hours (without drinking) and the color is just fabulous.  I also love the idea of lip stains (I know, I'm kind of a newb when it comes to lip products, haha), because I don't even feel them once they dry.  This one does cling a little to patchy areas on my lips, but it's not obvious in person.  I can't wait until this summer when I'm back in proximity to a Walmart (no where close to me stocks NYC, it's really strange!) so I can pick up more of these!

That's it for my mini reviews post!  I hope they were still thorough enough to give you an idea of how the products worked for me.  Anything you've tried/loved/hated?  Thanks for reading! :)

Favorites, finally! (As of recently)

I know I totally missed my March favorites post- I had every intention to do it (I've been able to try out quite a few new things recently compared to normal), and then time just escaped me.  However, I decided I could still do a favorites post even if it's not an official "monthly" one.  I hope that's OK with you all!  I'll still do an April favorites so I don't get off track.

Clockwise from upper left:
1. Lancome color design quad (filigree, kitten heel, click, the new black)-  My mom got this eyeshadow mini as part of a GWP and since she doesn't really wear eyeshadow, she gave it to me.  The colors are gorgeous!  I'm not a fan of The New Black (I have it in the full-sized version from years ago) as the glitter is chunky and the texture isn't smooth, but I'm in love with the peach, taupe, and gold.

2.  Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow & Mood Boosting blush in Natural-  I got this over spring break but started using it regularly just recently.  I'm not a huge fan of shimmer blushes, but the color is perfect- it has enough pink to still be peachy (without leaning too orange).

3.  Maybelline Fit Me foundation in 115 Ivory- I've been using this on and off for the last month, and it's what I turn to when I'm in need of a bit more coverage.  It's still on the lighter side of the spectrum, but being someone that really dislikes foundation, it gives me enough without feeling heavy.  It's also creamy and moisturizing on my dry skin.  I was actually a little surprised I was this light, but seeing as I haven't gone out much this winter my skin has lightened up a fair amount.

4.  ELF Studio contour brush- I'm loving this for more precise crease work.  I wrote my review of it which you can find here!

5.  Maybelline Lash Stiletto Voluptuous- This is the version with the curved brush.  I bought this to use for my friend's makeup in the film I worked on, and then I kept it for myself afterwards. ;)  I'm planning on writing a review of it in the near future, because I love the volume and length it gives.  I normally dislike Maybelline mascaras so I was a little surprised!

6.  NYC Smooch-proof 16-hour lip stain in Forever Mine Wine- This might go into holy grail status for me in terms of lip products.  I haven't tried many, but this one lasts literally all day and fades evenly.  The color is gorgeous, too- extremely flattering on my fair skin.  I'm planning a review on this one too.

Swatches:

Thanks for reading!  I also received my Sigma F80 flat top kabuki in the mail this week, so stay tuned for my review and giveaway. :)

NOTD: ELF and NYC=a combination I'm loving!

You know that one nail polish that you've never really used, and it sits there taunting you every time you do your nails?  Because you don't give it enough "love"?  That is my bottle of NYC 103A Paparazzi Pink Glitter.  I got it for like $0.65 on clearance at Target last year, thinking it'd make a great glittery top coat- and it does, but I don't wear many shades that would typically go with a pinkish glitter.  Tonight, however, I was randomly playing around with my nails and tried this over another ELF polish, Innocent (a pale milky beige cream).  I kind of liked the result, and thought how even MORE awesome the NYC polish would look over my ELF Smoky Brown.  I think it does, anyway.  :)  Behold:

(Goodness, please click to enlarge these!)

I was hoping it would have more of a Chanel Paradoxal vibe, but unfortunately this is very pink (while Paradoxal is more purple/blue).  But hey, it doesn't take much to make me happy.  I'm excited about this combination if only because it cost me a mere $1.65 to achieve!

What are some nail looks you've been rocking?  

Wednesday Weekly Favorites: No Theme!

I've actually been using a lot more this week, but they've been posted about several times already.  :)  Like, my L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen mascara, Maybelline Amethyst single eyeshadow, Covergirl Eyelights Vivid Ruby eyeliner, etc.  While I'm thinking about mascara, I just wanted to share a trick with you- I'm a big fan of Clumps Of Mascara.  B is so funny, and hers was actually the first makeup blog I followed.  Anyway, she posted about this trick when applying mascara that really wowed me!  You swipe the brush up your lashes, but stop at almost the ends of them, and hold for several seconds.  It really helps "lift" them!

OK, back to my favorites.  :)

(ELF Neutral Eye beauty book, EOS Lemon Drop lip balm, NYC Shimmer Color Wheel face powder, Jane Blushing Earth Sheer blush, Maybelline Jade Unstoppable eyeliner)

ELF beauty book- I posted about this here (See that post for swatches, too).  There are so many lovely combinations with it!

EOS lip balm- I bought this a few weeks ago, and ever since it's been my favorite lip balm.  It smells just like a lemon bar and keeps my lips moisturized nicely.

NYC mosaic face powder- This color, Shimmer, was I think a limited edition one a year or two ago.  It's pretty pigmented and has been working nicely as a bronzer for me.  In the swatch below it looks orange, but the little amount I use doesn't show up that way.

Jane blush- This is the perfect "glowy" cheek blush, in my opinion.  It's shimmery but not overly so, and it's sheer so the color is buildable.  It gives me the right amount of color (Just a little!).

Maybelline Upstoppable eyeliner- These were on rollback at Walmart a couple weeks ago, and since I wanted a nice dark-green-but-not-teal eyeliner, I grabbed it.  It sure has good staying power!  It's not 100% budge proof (If you really dug your finger over it it would lighten a little), but definitely better than most I've tried.  

Swatches:

(Jane Blushing Earth Sheer, NYC Shimmer, Maybelline Jade)

(Jade eyeliner after rubbing my hand for about 10 seconds)

That's all for now!  Hope you're all having a nice day today.

(And if anyone is interested, my recovery so far has been wonderful.  The Vicodin is taking care of the pain because I haven't felt any yet.  My cheeks are swollen, but not too bad.  I feel so lucky, lol; I know so many people who just felt like death after getting their wisdom teeth out.)

Introducing my love affair with Revlon Super Lustrous! And a collective haul

Guys!  I can't believe it took me this long to rediscover Revlon Super Lustrous lip glosses.  I say rediscover because they were actually the first lip glosses I wore (Way back in middle school).  They bring back great memories!  I only owned maybe two, and I don't remember at all which ones they were- this was when I wasn't that into makeup and was only starting to use it, so they didn't get much attention and were eventually lost.  But I remember staring at Halle Berry's face on the ad at Target and deciding to buy one!

All retrospection aside, I hear about the Super Lustrous lip glosses all the time around here.  It was time I picked one up.  Naturally, I had to get Lilac Pastelle, although had I not seen swatches on various blogs, I probably would have stayed far away.  I fear "different"-colored lips (On myself- I don't think I could pull them off well), but this doesn't look crazy purple when applied.  It's just a nice, light lilac/pink color.  I'm so glad I purchased it!

Lightly applied to my lips

This leads me to the rest of my collective haul over the last two days:

NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Plaza Pink, L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara, Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Lilac Pastelle, Rimmel eyeshadow quad in Urban Flower, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polishes in Sun Kissed and Green With Envy

This is my first NYC Blushable Creme Stick, and after hearing their good reviews on various blogs, I decided to get one myself.  My main motive was my $1.00 off coupon I had for NYC.  I really like how smooth and easy-to-apply this is, although it's not very pink at all.  I'd say it's more of a light peach.

I've been talking about getting the L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara ever since I read Mandi's rave about it on her YouTube.  The brush is nothing special (It reminds me a lot of the Covergirl Professional super thick lash brush), but I'll let you know how I like it.

This Rimmel eyeshadow quad I picked up because I had a $1.00 off coupon from Redplum.com.  I've only used their trio eyeshadows before.  I thought the colors were pretty in this one, but I'm having the same problem with a lack of pigmentation that I did with the trio.  

Lastly, I got these Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polishes yesterday at Walgreens for 2/$4.  They're going right back to the store.  The formula is great, but I need different colors; I can't work these whatsoever.  They make my hands look yellow and my mom even said they were bad.  LOL.

I can't wait to go to Target again!  I'm definitely going to be picking up another Revlon lip gloss.  I have a Target coupon for $1.00 any Revlon color product (I got it with my receipt last week), and then in today's Smart Source insert, there were 2 Revlon coupons.  One for $1.00 off any cosmetic, and one for $1.00 off any tool.  Be sure to check your Sunday paper for similar deals!

What are your favorite Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss colors?  Any recommendations?

Wednesday Weekly Favorites: Going Lighter

This week I finally felt like I made the transition to more "summer appropriate" makeup.  At least for a little while, anyway- who knows how long it will last.  I'm usually not one to lighten up my eye makeup during the hotter months, but this week I tried especially hard to hold back!  I also experimented with wearing less foundation again.  As I've mentioned before on here, I'm a foundation newbie- I just got into it recently.  And ironically, recently I've had more breakouts than normal.  It could just be due to the hot and humid weather, but I decided I'd see what wearing less makeup on my face would do for my skin. 

Anyway, enough talking!  These are my favorite items for this past week:

Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express mascara- I've mentioned this numerous times here, but I seriously love it.  It's the only Maybelline mascara that has given me good results!  

ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder- This one I've also mentioned on here.  I've been using the blush, and I have to say it's about the only peach color I've tried and liked on my skin tone.  It has enough pink and shimmer in it to even out the orange.

NYC IndividualEyes compact in Central Park- Can you tell by now that I like this?  LOL.  I've been using this palette almost every day since I got it last week.  I love that bottom champagne color; it's getting the most usage by far.  I just love the colors together for a soft, neutral, everyday eye.

Aveeno Clear Complexion foaming cleanser- I've been rotating my cleansers (I collected quite a few last month, and now I'm trying to use them up), and this week I'm using this one.  I like that the foam consistency feels non-irritating on my sensitive skin, and it blends easily into a lather.  

NYC Smooth Mineral Natural Veil- This is just a translucent powder, but I really like the quality of it. It's very finely milled, and it sticks with me all day.  This week I've just been using concealer on my couple remaining pimples (Thank goodness the others cleared up!), and then dusting my entire face with this.

Mary Kay eyeliner in Amethyst-  I've been pairing this with my NYC IndividualEyes compact eyeshadows, and it's a great combination, especially for green eyes.  

Wet 'n' Wild Idol Eyes eyeliner in Dark Brown- I've been using the smudge-tip a lot, and then I'm also trying to just finish up the rest of this eyeliner.  I've had it for a few months and now have other dark browns I like better, so I want to get rid of this.  LOL.  It's still a good eyeliner, though, don't get me wrong.

Have you used any of these products?  What are your current favorites?

And one last thing before I go for the night-

I got this at Target today:

Definitely expect a review in a week or so once I've given it a fair trial!  

Review: N.Y.C. IndividualEyes Custom Compact in Central Park

Let me start out by saying that I've probably walked by these N.Y.C. IndividualEyes palettes over a thousand times and they never appealed to me.  It was something about the colors- they just seemed a little off in my opinion, so I just couldn't get myself to purchase one.  

However, now having heard so many good things about the quality of this product, I decided I should at least try one.  Making this better is that the All You coupon page has a new $1.00 off any N.Y.C. product of $1.72 or higher coupon, so I used that to get this for even cheaper.  Score!

Anyway, the one I got today is called Central Park, and it's specifically for green eyes.  

These compacts come with four powder eyeshadows, one cream eyeshadow base, and one cream illuminator.  I tried to take a good picture that accurately showed the colors and how everything is labeled in the package:

The amount you get for the price is great; this is probably one of my most favorite things about this.  On the back of the package it clearly states how much product you get of each type (I forgot to take a picture, sorry!).  Each eyeshadow is 0.056oz (MAC eyeshadow is 0.05oz), and the primer and illuminators are each 0.051oz.  

The eyeshadows are all soft and have nice pigmentation.  They blend surprisingly well.  I wasn't thinking I'd be blown away by the colors, but they are so much prettier on the eyes than just in swatches.  I'll talk about this at the end.

The highlighter color is a gorgeous, shimmering champagne (I LOVE champagne shades and cannot have enough.  This may be my current favorite).

The all over lid color is a light, shimmering gold that almost leans slightly green-toned.  I wish I could describe this better, because it's not at all green, but it's not a true gold at all.

The crease/contour color is a matte, muted brown, that is slightly darker than the picture above shows it.

The second crease/contour color is a dark, muted chocolate brown with a tiny amount of shimmer strewn throughout.

Swatches:

(The champagne color is really close to my skin tone, which is why you can hardly see it)

I only just tried the eyeshadow base, so I can't say how it works yet.  But it has a nice and creamy consistency.  I swatched the base and illuminator and tried taking pictures, but it just wasn't showing up well.  I'm sorry I can't show you exactly what those look like.

Anyway, I can't wait to get myself back to Target and grab myself another one of these.  Like I said earlier, the colors look a lot better once they're on your eyes.  I was really surprised by how much I liked the combination!  I used the all over lid shade on my lid, the matte brown in my crease, and the dark brown along my lash line and into the outer corner.  In this picture below, I used a very light hand when applying.  I think you can still get the general idea:

(And excuse my unfortunately broken-out skin!)

Have you tried any of these?  Which do you like best?  

My Eyeliner "Collection"

This should hardly be called a collection, as I don't have too too many.  I've also tossed out quite a few recently that I just wasn't using or had a similar color of.  And let me just mention while I'm thinking about it- ELF's $1 brightening eyeliners are terrible.  These came to mind just now because I tried one in Coffee, a dark brown, not too long ago, and it smeared and smudged and never dried on my lid.  It just sat there, all sticky and gross.  This is one I just tossed out tonight as I was going through my stash.
Anyway, here they are:

From left to right: 

Pencil: Milani Liquif'eye in Silver, L'Oreal HiP eyeliner in Violet Volt, N.Y.C. Waterproof eyeliner in Teal, Rimmel Spark It Up! eye darkening pencils in Tiger's Eye, Peridot, & Black Gold

Automatic: Clinique Quickliner in Roast Coffee, Wet 'n' Wild IdolEyes eyeliner in Dark Brown, Covergirl Exact Eyelights eyeliner in Vivid Ruby, Mary Kay eyeliner in Amethyst, E.L.F. waterproof eyeliner pen in Coffee.

These are my current pencil eyeliners.  I'll talk about these in order from left to right.  I rarely use the Milani one because of the color (It also irritates my eye a little), but it has awesome staying power and glides on gorgeously.  The L'Oreal HiP works the same way, and it's the same kind of "Urban Decay 24/7 drugstore dupe" eyeliner, like the Milani Liquif'eye.  This one doesn't irritate my eyes at all, though, and I love the color.  The N.Y.C. waterproof pencil is my favorite plain teal eyeliner- it retails between $3 and $4, so it's also my favorite SUPER inexpensive, easily available eyeliner.  The next three are all Rimmel Spark It Up! eyeliners, and these are probably my favorite "fun" eyeliners right now (I say fun because they have shimmer in them- they aren't gritty, though).  They're a little more expensive at around $5 a piece, but still not bad at all.  They are incredibly pretty, too!  

Swatches, in same order as pencils are shown above:

The three Rimmel eyeliners are on the far right- Tiger's Eye is a darker bronze, Peridot is a dark slightly-more-green-than-blue teal, and Black Gold is like an antique black gold, like the title.  I don't really know how else to describe it!  These last pretty well as long as you don't touch them- so, they aren't as durable as Milani Liquif'eye or L'Oreal HiP eyeliners, but they are still good quality.

These are my current retractable eyeliners (With exception of the ELF pen).  80% of them are shades of dark brown, and that was totally not intentional.  From left to right: My Clinique Quickliner is my everyday "I just want something quick and neutral that will stick" eyeliner.  It's a deep reddish brown, and it's got wonderful staying power (Actually, all of these have pretty decent staying power).  The Wet 'n' Wild IdolEyes eyeliner is my favorite for a deep chocolate brown color.  It also has great durability, and it's only $1.99 at most drugstores.  This is what I would recommend to anyone that wants a super cheap, great quality, basic eyeliner.  The Covergirl Eyelights eyeliner is just a standard dark brown, nothing too special about the color.  The quality is average, but it really stays on my waterline.  The Mary Kay eyeliner is a GORGEOUS shade of purple-gold that I just love.  If you have green eyes like me, I think this color is a must-have!  The pencil is tiny, though, so I probably wouldn't repurchase this at $10.  Finally is the E.L.F. Waterproof eyeliner pen, which feels like you're applying a felt-tip marker to your eyes.  This is OK, but I don't personally like the look of liquid eyeliner of any kind.

Swatches, in same order as pictured above:

The Clinique one is obviously a fair amount lighter than the other browns, which is why I don't use it if I'm looking to do a deep, smokey eye.  For neutral looks it's perfect!

What are your favorite eyeliners?  

Just wanted to say/ Mini-Haul

I have had ELF's Mint Cream nail polish on my nails since Saturday, and although the tips are chipping just a bit, I've gotten countless compliments on the color!
I compared it to Sinful Color's Mint Apple polish (It was the color I had on my nails when I received my package from ELF), but it's not similar at all.

The ELF polish is lighter and has no shimmer in it, like the Sinful Color one does.  The formula is also a lot lighter; Sinful Color's is rather thick but still workable.

Although ELF nail polishes are far from durable (They chip on me after a day), I think a good top coat would get them to last a little longer.  Mine is just an old one from Revlon, so I can't say I'm using the best.  

In other news, I had a $1.00 off coupon for NYC that I used today at Target, and I purchased their Mosaic Translucent Highlighter.  I also stopped by Walgreens and bought a Rimmel Spark It Up eyeliner in Peridot (A deep shimmery forest green).  These eyeliners are gorgeous; I have them in Black Gold and Tiger's Eye.  I used to have Lapis, but it got lost somewhere in my car... lol.  Anyway.

They're nice but tend to lack in the staying-power department, if it's hot or humid or anything.  I'm pretty sure this one will do just fine as long as I set it with a matching eyeshadow.

Pictures:

Rimmel Spark It Up eyeliner in Peridot

I also got a Wet 'n' Wild Mega Last lip stick in Bare It All- it's a light brown, almost nude color.  Unfortunately it looks kind of muddy on my lips, but maybe with the right gloss I can pull it off.  I'll swatch it later when I can upload some more pictures again.

Review: NYC Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil

For some reason I just discovered these pencils- I'm probably way behind, but I had honestly never seen them until yesterday!  The only places I know of that carry NYC in my area are Target and Walmart.  When I came across them at my Walmart, I got really excited.  :)  Urban Decay 24/7-looking eyeliners for $3.99 with a $1.00-off coupon?  Yes, please.

I got mine in Teal, which is exactly that- a darkened blue-green with just a small amount of sheen.  No shimmer.

See how smooth they look?  They perform just as smoothly, too.  The packaging looks cheaper than Urban Decay's 24/7 pencils, but that's to be expected at $3.99.  I'm not one to get hung up on that though.

I was really impressed by the staying power these had on my hand.  The left swatch is normal; the right is after letting it sit for 10 seconds and lightly rubbing my finger back and forth against it.  How did it last on my lids?

Without a base, I noticed some teal in my crease after about 1 1/2- 2 hours (Keep in mind I have pretty deep-set eyes and not particularly oily lids).  However, with a base- I tested this all day today- I found no creasing whatsoever.  The eyeliner stayed put on my upper lash line and looked just as vibrant this evening as it did this morning.  Nice!  I did only test it on my upper lash line, though- I rarely wear much eyeliner on my lower, so I'm not sure how well these would work in the waterline, either.

I did just do some reading up on MUA's reviews of this, which you can find here:

http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=77212/Waterproof_Eyeliner_Pencil_-_all/New_York_Color/Eyeliner

Most of the comments were good, and a lot of people thought it really worked well on their waterlines.  

For $3.99, I think these are a really affordable, good quality eyeliner for anyone who likes Urban Decay's 24/7, L'Oreal HiP, or Milani Liquif'eye.  They are super-smooth to apply, and they hold up to 8+ hours of wear- as long as you use a base.

Another plus:  If you can find them, they also come in a decent variety of colors for a drugstore eyeliner: Black, Dark Brown, Mink, Smoky Plum, Moody Blue, Sky High, and Teal.

Oh and one more thing- you can do like I did, and use the $1.00 off any NYC product from Allyou.com (That I posted about here).  That brings the price down to only $2.99!  You can't use more than one of these at once, but I'm sure you can print out multiple and use them at different times.  

Coupons: Rimmel and NYC

Just a heads up to any Rimmel and NYC cosmetics fans, in case you haven't seen this-
Go to Allyou.com (The website of All You magazine), and on their coupon page, you'll find one for $2.00 off any Rimmel item, and one for $1.00 off any NYC item priced at $1.72 or higher.
These are manufacturer's coupons, so they'll work at any major retailer (I used the Rimmel one at Target today!).  Just print them out and you're good to go!

Drugstore Dupe- Edition #1

Hey ladies!

Just a quick post on a drugstore dupe I've been meaning to show for a while.
This one is for NARS lipgloss in Orgasm, a beautiful peachy pink.

There's a very similar colour by NYC, but for a fraction of the price. It's not quite as pink as the real deal, but it's pretty close!

     NYC on the left, NARS on the right



The NYC one just has a number (554A), and it's not as sticky as NARS. But, it is more goldy/orangey than NARS.

Thanks for reading!
