New N.Y.C. Products!

Ah, new product releases! As you can see, N.Y.C. has several new products. In particular, I'm eyeballing the lip & eye products & some of the 24 nailcolor shades.

Although, I admit, I'm not much of a nail girl. Mainly because I lack technique & coordination. My nails always wind up becoming a hot mess before I'm even finished, so most of the time I don't bother.

However, that doesn't mean I don't find new nail shades exciting. On the contrary, I do! I haven't really tried that many N.Y.C. products, but I do like their liquid lipshines very much, & my Sister uses their long-wearing lip color & likes it.

What do you guys think of N.Y.C.? Do you have a certain N.Y.C. product that you love? Do tell! :)

New NYX Products!

There's nothing like the thrill of new Product releases! Especially from a brand with a proven track record of quality products at an affordable price like NYX.

They got quite a bunch of new offerings, plus new colors for some of their current offerings. Some of the new stuff doesn't intrigue, but some does.

What I find exciting are the new color selections available for their eyeshadows, jumbo eye pencils, & tinted lip spas. What do you guys think? Interested? Bored? Let me know in the comments! :)

Brightened Eyes

This is the look I wore in CG Amazemint Wetslicks Review. Since youtube users papercandles & pinkfairygrl1029 liked it so much, I figured I'd reproduce it in this video.

Fruit Pigmented Cosmetics?

I've just learned about a fairly new company (100% Pure) that uses fruit & vegetable pigments to color their makeup. How cool is that! It looks like most of their single-item products range around $13, whereas palettes are more.

Their site makes the following statement: "The first and only cosmetics colored from antioxidant rich fruit and vegetable pigments. While other color cosmetics are colored with either synthetic dyes or minerals, only 100% Pure color cosmetics are colored with fruit & vegetable pigments (patents pending)! All the antioxidants and vitamins in fruits are in the actual color, so you will be applying all the healthy nutrients of the fruits directly on your skin!"

Their lip butter got a rave review on megsmakeup.com. Have any of you, my readers, tried any of their products? Sound off in the comments!
