NYC New York Color Expert Last Lipstick!

Here's yet another product from Influenster that I absolutely adore! 

NYC New York Color Expert Last Lipstick, in 447 Forever Fuchsia. ♥

It's such an amazingly bright color.  It really is forever fuchsia too. I tried it one night and woke up with it still on.  Which is actually pretty great!! I like to pair it with a lipgloss because I'm not a super big fan of the matte look.  It goes on like butter and feels amazing. 

 Ignore my bathroom here.....LOL but here is the lipstick with my favorite charm off my bracelet from my grandma. :]
 NYC Expert Last Lip Color in 447, Forever Fuchsia. 
Sooooo pinky! :] Beautiful color. 

I also really like that it has blue undertones.  Blue undertones help to make your teeth look whiter, which I'm all for.  This lipstick can be found online for just over $2. & it's actually really high quality.  I still kinda can't believe it.  But if you're looking for a new lipstick, you should really check theirs out! ♥

P.S. Have you ever used NYC? Which is your favorite product? :]

Influenster: Jolly Vox Box 2013

I was lucky enough to be chosen for the most recent Vox Box from Influenster! 

The Jolly Vox Box is one that Influensters wait all year for, desperately hoping to be picked.  I was elated to find that I had been picked for it this year.  


This year's box had five different items in it. 

It included:
  • Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer, $5.49-$5.99
  • NYC New York Color HD Color Trio Eye Shadow, $2.99 
  • Ducklings Mini Rolls, $2-$3
  • Skinny Cow Candy, $3.99
  • Puffs Tissues Plus Lotion, $0.49
I received these items complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. 


 This is what the products came in.

This is what it looked like when I opened it.  It was stuffed full! 
 The first thing I saw were the Skinny Cow peanut butter creme chocolates. They come with 6 pouches, each with 3 chocolates in them.
 This was what the rest of the box contained.

 I was really happy to see the Puffs plus Lotion tissues.  I have had an on and off again cold and tissues with lotion are the best! 
 Here is the lip gloss I received! I got shade 500 Luna.  It's a very pretty color and a very interesting consistency. It goes on like a lip gloss but looks like a lipstick.  It makes your lips feel pretty smooth and creamy. 
 My eye shadow from NYC New York Color was in shade 781 Long Beach Sands.  They are very beautiful and pigmented shades that go together very well.
 The mini duck tape is really cute. It's so tiny! 
 My print is a Hawaiian flower theme in a nice blue and white.
This was the insert that came in the box.  It describes what the products are, what they do and how much they can be found for.  

I really enjoyed receiving and opening this box, and continue to enjoy using the products.  They all go together pretty well and are inexpensive but very good quality.

I think this is a very smart move for Influenster.  The products are inexpensive and easy to find and purchase.

Thanks for reading!

Influenster's Varsity Vox Box: NYC New York Color's Big Bold Gloss

Me wearing the NYC New York Color Lip Gloss over an orange lipstick


I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive one of Influenster's latest VoxBoxes: The Varsity VoxBox.  I love this box.  It has products that are aimed towards college students, which is perfect for me!  It contains NYC New York Color's Big Bold Plumping and Shine Lip Gloss, Kiss's Nail Dress Nail Adhesives, Clearasil Daily Clear Refreshing Superfruit Wash, Airheads Xtreme Bites, and Tide PODS.  


 As you can see, all of the products are very reasonably priced, which is great for college students!!









One of my favorite products in this box was the NYC lip gloss.  It is very sheer in color, but still adds a little pigment, which is great for people like me who are very pale.  It adds some color to me so that I look healthy, instead of dead.  It goes on with a slight tingle, but it isn't uncomfortable like some plumping lipglosses.  
  It really is a gorgeous color.  It isn't too big or too small of a tube.  You definitely have a lot of product in there, but you can put it in your pocket.  I have worn it on its own, as well as over lipsticks and I love it for both! For being a pretty thick [but comfortable] lipgloss, it really isn't sticky like you might imagine it to be.  
 Here is a picture of the applicator, which I think is quite nice.  It's soft but effective.
 Another angle of the applicator.  It really is huge compared to other lip glosses.  This makes it very quick to apply, another appealing factor to college students!
& here is the tube once more.  

If I would have to rate it I would definitely give it 5/5, or in Influenster terms, an A.  It's easy to apply and really spruces up any looks.  I am definitely going to buy this lipgloss in other shades.  
I recently wore it to a family party and found the color to be very complimentary with my skin color and very comfortable as well.  In this picture I am wearing it over an orangey lipstick.  
Ignore my kind of odd expression here.  The lipgloss is quite long lasting!  It held through my lunch and apple juice!

 Here my lipgloss is still on after eating cheese and crackers with my cousin.

 Seen here is my apple juice, and rather odd tights. 


Thank you to my boyfriend Dave for taking my phone and snapping at least 150 pictures of our family get together! Without that I would not have any of these pictures.  

& Thank you to you, too, reader!
