NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact

TODAY I WILL BE REVIEWING THIS LOVELY EYESHADOW COMPACT FROM NYC! THIS WAS GIVEN TO ME COMPLIMENTARY FROM INFLUENSTER BEAUTY BLOGGER VOXBOX PROGRAM IN EXCHANGE FOR MY HONEST OPINION.I WILL BE SHOWING PICTURES OF THE COMPACT AND SWATCHES OF THE PRODUCT WHICH CONTAINS 4 EYESHADOWS,1 PRIMER AND A CREAM ILLUMINATOR.

IVE SEEN NYC AND HEARD SOME GOOD AND SOME BAD REVIEWS AND TO BE HONEST, I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANY MAKEUP FROM NYC BESIDES SOME NAIL POLISHES.SO I AM BRAND NEW TO TRYING OUT THIS EYESHADOW COMPACT AND FOR $4.99, IT IS A AFFORDABLE GOOD QUALITY PRODUCT! THE SHADOWS ARE PIGMENTED AND MUCH MORE BETTER WITH AN EYE PRIMER. I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY CREASING,FALL OUTS AND FADING. ITS NOT CHALKY,POWDERY AND DOES CONTAIN SOME SHIMMER BUT ITS NOT OVERWHELMING WITH SHININESS, JUST KNOW ITS NOT MATTE AT ALL! THE EYELID PRIMER IS GOOD BUT ITS NOT A WINNER FOR ME AT ALL, I AM RELIGIOUSLY INTO MY URBAN DECAY PRIMER SO ITS HARD FOR ME TO LET GO AND TRY SOMETHING NEW.THE CREAM HIGHLIGHTER IS VERY PIGMENTED AND REALLY GOOD LOOKING! ITS A BIT FROSTY,SHIMMERISH AND JUST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AS A BROW HIGHLIGHTER, JUST DONT OVERDO IT.

PRODUCT INFO.

OVERALL I DO RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT IF YOUR ON A BUDGET OR JUST WANT TO EXPERIMENT. I REALLY DID ENJOY THIS PRODUCT, ESPECIALLY TRYING OUT SHADES I NORMALLY DONT WEAR OR WOULDNT BUY. IM USUALLY A NEUTRAL COLOR TYPE OF GAL AND TO RECEIVE THIS COMPACT IN DARK SHADOWS WAS SCARY FOR ME! BUT I DID OVER COME MY FEAR AND PLAYED AROUND WITH THIS COMPACT! SO PLEASE DO CHECK OUT NYC EYESHADOW COMPACT IN THIS SHADE AND OTHERS, YOU WONT REGRET THE OUTCOME AND EXPERIENCE!

BEAUTY SWAP WITH FELLOW BLOGGER PHELICIA C.

TODAY I HAD TIME TO PLAY CATCH UP WITH MY BLOG LOL, I'VE REALLY BEEN LAGGING IT SINCE I WAS MOVING INTO MY NEW PLACE WITH MY BOYFRIEND AND OF COURSE NO INTERNET FOR A BIT AND I HATE TO USE MY PHONE TO DO STUFF LIKE THIS CUZ TECHNOLOGY HAS A MINE OF ITS OWN..... I'M FINALLY GONNA TELL ALL OF YOU LADIES ABOUT MY SWAP WITH PHELICIA CASTILLO, A FELLOW BLOGGER I MET THROUGH INFLUENSTER. SHE HAD CONTACTED ME RIGHT AFTER SHE SAW MY POST ABOUT BEAUTY SWAPPING AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE COOL TO DO ONE TOGETHER. IM REALLY GLAD SHE DID BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY FUN EXPERIANCE AND IT WAS LIKE AN EARLY XMAS GIFTS TO EACH OTHER AND LET ME TELL YOU, OUR BOXES TO EACH OTHER WEIGHED THE SAME, AT 20 LBS EACH! WHAT A COINCIDENCE! I BET OUR MAIL DELIVERERS GOT A GOOD WORKOUT OUT OF IT. WE DECIDED TO SWAP BEAUTY STUFF WE BOUGHT EACH OTHER BASED ON STUFF WE WANTED TO TRY AND SOME MYSTERY ITEMS TOO! WE SET OUR BUDGET FOR EACH OTHER AT $50 AND OF COURSE, WE BOTH KIND OF WENT OVER, OOOPPPPSS! COULDN'T HELP MYSELF LOL. WE ALSO SWAPPED ITEMS THAT WE NO LONGER WANTED LIKE JEWELRY,PURSES,MAGS,PERFUMES ETC ETC.   IM GLAD WE DID THAT TOO BECAUSE I HAD SOO MUCH STUFF THAT WAS JUST COLLECTING DUST AND AS ALWAYS I TEND TO FORGET THOSE THINGS EXIST SINCE IM CONSTANTLY SHOPPING AND NEW ITEMS ARE FAVORED MOST THAN OLD.I ALSO HATE TO DONATE MY COOL STUFF TO THRIFT STORES, I WOULD SO MUCH RATHER GIVE IT TO A FRIEND WHO WANTS IT. NOMORE JIBBER TALK, ONTO THE SWAP PICS!

HERE ARE HER WRAPPING SKILLS, ALOT BETTER THAN MINE I MUST SAY, SHE REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO MAKE THE STUFF PRESENTABLE

SHES GOT SOME BEDAZZLING SKILLS! I NEED TO DO THAT NEXT TIME

I RECEIVED MAKEUP,HAIR MOUSSE AND BODY CARE STUFF. I LIKED THE CHOICES SHE MADE FOR ME BECAUSE THIS WAS REALLY HELPFUL WHEN I MOVED IN TO MY NEW PLACE AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOWER WITH OR EVEN BRUSH MY TEETH WITH! THANK YOU PHELICIA! YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!

SOME MORE MAKEUP AND VERY GOOD SMELLING SHAMPOO!

SO YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING, "THATS 20LBS?" WELL MY BOYFRIEND AND I LIVED OFF OF HER SNACKS SHE GOT ME SINCE WE HAD NO FRIDGE AND NO GAS TO COOK. I FORGOT TO TAKE PICS OF THOSE AND THE RECYCLED ITEMS AND IM GOING TO BE HONEST, IM TOO LAZY AND TIRED TO DIG THOSE OUT FROM MY CLOSET TO TAKE PICTURES OF LOL. IM JUST GONNA SAY THAT I GOT WALLETS, PURSE,HEADBANDS,PERFUMES,NECKLACE AND BATH AND BODY WORKS/VICTORIA SECRET LOTIONS AND BODY SPRAYS AND MAYBE MORE? I CANT REMEMBER. NOT TO WORRY, ALOT OF THE STUFF WE SWAPPED WERE ALMOST BRAND NEW AND NOT GERM INFESTED, WE MADE SURE OF THAT.

NEXT TIME WHEN I DO A SWAP ILL DO A BETTER JOB OF TAKING PICS AND STUFF,I PROMISE.... BY THE WAY, PHELICIA AND I ARE GONNA DO A XMAS GIFT EXCHANGE, IM SUPER EXCITED FOR THAT ONE BECAUSE I GOT TO KNOW HER MORE BECAUSE WE HAVE CONTINUOUSLY TEXT EACH OTHER ALMOST EVERYDAY SO I FEEL LIKE I KNOW HER BETTER NOW THAN BEFORE AND VICE VERSA. BUT ULTIMATELY ITS NOT ABOUT SWAPS AND GIFTS, ITS ABOUT GAINING A NEW FRIEND THAT I DONT HAVE LIVING HERE IN CALIFORNIA, I JUST CANT SEEM TO FIND THE RIGHT FRIEND, NO OFFENSE BUT CALI GIRLS ARE TOOOOO MUCH TO DEAL WITH, NOT MY CUP OF TEA. SO IF YOU DO GET A CHANCE TO SWAP WITH SOMEONE WHETHER IF ITS A PERSON WHO LIVES IN/OUT YOUR CITY,HOMETOWN,STATE OR EVEN COUNTRY, ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT!
