NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine review

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

I was happy to see this in my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster.com I loved the color it was just for me "Nude York City". When I opened it on my unboxing video (see below) 


 

I was pleasantly surprised. It was super shiny!. I think I actually said I would stop cars cause the shine was so impressive. That was before I even knew anything about it. Yes even though it had the word "LIPSHINE" in the name. I just figured it was another lip gloss. Well I can tell you it is not just another lip gloss. I really... can I say that again.... really love the consistency of this lip shine. It is not sticky and gooey. It applies so smooth and the applicator is awesome. Although it just looks like another doe foot applicator it isn't, it is flexible and covers your lips perfectly in one swipe. 

This is vey inexpensive at about $2.49. "It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias." Available at: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and other locations too.  Visit newyorkcolor.com to see all the other items that you can get. All from about &0.99 - $4.99. You can't beat that deal!!


 

Chow chow for now.


Impress

imPRESS press-on manicure nails were received thru my Holiday VoxBox from Influenster.com.

I was really imPRESSed by the color and look of the nails and the packaging. The color/style i received was Lil drummer Grl. I would have definitely used them, but when I tried to fit them onto my nails. None of them would fit. I have fairly long nail beds and my nails a re arched pretty well, so not one would cover my nails properly. For that I was disappointed.
"imPress Manicure retails for $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns, and is available at CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart and more. For a full list of online and in-store retailers, visit imPressManicure.com, where you can download an exclusive coupon and virtually try on all the colors and patterns!" there are 36 styles/colors. You cam peel stick and easily remove them although I did not get a chance to try them. I didn't see the point of trying to put them on my nails if they were not going to fit.
I am hoping that I could give these to someone who could use them and love them!. I was planning on giving to someone close to me, but I think the color is too wild for them. I may do a giveaway with them.
 Thank you imPRESS and Influenster for giving these in the Holiday VoxBox, but I unfortunately could not enjoy them for myself.
Chow chow for now.

Holiday Vox Box & BirchBox Dec 20111

 YEA!!!!!
I so loved my Holiday VoxBox. Can I say I love it any more?
Thank you Influenster for chosing me!!
Can I say how wonderful this is?
As you can see there are a bunch f things that came in the Holiday VoxBox. 





    • LARABAR flavor Apple Pie This is a great healthy snack although I am just not into this. .I am not a fruit bar kinda girl. (approx $1.00)
    •  Mentos Fresh mint flavor 15 pcs. Who doesn't want fresh Icy Breath? Thank you Thank you!!(approx $1.69)







    • Peel off cucumber mask from Montage Jennesse ust love these peeling facial masks! Feels awesome after it dries. (approx $1.99)











    •  NYC Liquid lipshine in Nude York City I am loving this one!! the color is fantastic and the feel is great! It is not sticky or goopy. (approx $1.69)









    • Softsoap Coconut Scub (bar soap)Can I say..... This smells fantastic. Funny I don't prefer to eat coconut, but I love the smell of it, especially in hair or body products.(approx $2.24)
    this has been an box of awesomeness so far!!!
    That's not it there is one more item

    • imPRESS press on manicure in Lil Drummer Grl These are so cute! I wish I could use them, but I have weird shaped nails and it is hard to fit false nails on them. :( I really liked the WILD color and would DEFINITLY use them if I could, but not everything is for everyone, so I will share the wealth with someone elso so they can enjoy the Holiday VoxBox! (approx $5.99 - 7.99)
    Box worth Approx $16.60 give or take a few. Prices were a rough estimate based on different local drug stores)
    Thank you INFLUENSTER!!!!!

    Now on to December BirchBox 
    So here we go with the next BirchBox. I was not completely disappointed, but I wasn't exactly ecstatic either. I was hoping for more since my last box was a downer. I did get a couple of nice beauty items and some other ok items. 
    I received 4 samples and 2 extras.
     
    • sample perfume of Ageless from Harvey Prince. The scent is not bad it is very floral like and I prefer citrus like scents, but this one is nothing compared to the last month scent of Shalimar. I would wear the Ageless perfume. I think it is great to keep in your purse and you forget to put on perfume you have this one as a back up..  Full size 100 ml $98
     
    •  Orofluido 0.17 fl oz approx $1.50 for the sample size. When I opened and removed this from the box I didn't know how to use this product, I did not explain how to use and there was no info on the bottle. It had no instructions, so I went to the BirchBox website to look it up. It stated that this is a "triple-threat oil: argan oil strengthens strands, linseed oil smooths cuticles to leave hair shiny and Cyperus oil fortifies and boosts manageability" How to use is to use on damp or dry hair. 3-4 drops rub in palms and distribute. I will definitly try this, but unfortunately there was no dropper so you will have to pour it out dab it with you finger tips. Full size 3.4 oz $29.99

     Benefit PoreFessional .25ml approx $9.67. I was really happy to get this sample. I wish it was a larger sample though. I don't think I will get many uses out of if. Maybe I am wrong, maybe a little will go a long way... this sample is a 3rd of the regular size. It is an oil-free formula and is to diffuse pores and fine lines for an "air-brushed" finish. To use as a primer before makeup apple a thin layer over moisturized skin starting from the center of your face outward. you can also use it alone or as touch up throughout the day. I wonder if this would work well on men too. Just curious... LOL Men have very large pores. Full size 0.75 fl oz $29.00
    • Jouer Lip gloss in BirchBox Pink 2ml approx $6.67. This is a cute color gloss. my only complaint is that it is the smallest sample. Last month we had a lip gloss too. It was also miniature. Keep scrolling down to see last month's entry on Nov Birch box or click here. This is suppose to help with dry lips too. It has shea butter and jojoba seed oil to moisturize and Vit A, C, and E to heal cracks and flakiness. I think this is great for winter. The full size is 0.21 fl oz $20.00

      The next two items were extras in the box. 


    • Show stoppers 2 srtips approx $0.83. these are double sides tape to keep our clothes from running away in those places we don't want them to move from. Full size 24 pk $9.99, but I saw on their website is $14.99 for two. which equals $0.62 for our sample
    • Eboost energy booster $1.40 need I say more? Full size is 20 pks $28.00
    Over all I thought this month's box was better than last month's, but still not sure if I want to continue the subscription. I am hoping next month will be much better since all the hype of the My Glam bag. If it is not it will not be worth it since the items in the glam bag were SO MUCH more and worth the cost of the bag in comparison. Approximate total for this month's BirchBox is $19.86. 
    See here for My Glam Glam bag pics

    Until the next post.

    My Glam, GlamBag




    I just got my glam bag in the mail today! I couldn't wait to rip right into the shiny pink bubble wrap envelope. I like the detail of the mailing packaging too!
    So below are the photos of each Item










    How cute is the bag too! 
    Thank you Michelle for all the little details!






    From Mai Couture:
    These are Blush in a rush blush papiers (sample). The color I received was SUNSET BLVD.
    This is a pigmented paper with refined shimmer to give your cheeks color without a brush. Just take this sheet and rub it in to your cheeks. I am ready to try this first thing in the morning when I apply my makeup to see how well it applies and if it is easy to use. Will let you know and update this blog on what I think.


    These Blush Papiers cost $17.50 for a whole pack of 50 sheets. I received 1 sample in my Glam Bag.














         Also from Mai Couture:
    Blemish Control Blotting papiers (full size). It contains Salicylic Acid. They are in a very pretty Blue. I use blotting papers all the time and it is nice to have Blemish control blotting papers. This was a full size of 100 sheets.
    Cost $20.00 for 100 sheets


    From Tarte:

    Lights, camera, lashes mascara (sample 3ml)
    This says it is suppose to increase lash volume by 424%
    If that is the case I intend to purchase this after using my sample size. 
    On the Tarte website they call it a "push-up bra" for your lashes. 4-in-1(lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning). I will be trying this out in the morning when I do my regular face routine also.
    Full size 7oz $19.00 
    so the sample is a little less than half the size. Approx $9.00










    From NYX:
    Soft Matte Lip Cream (full size) in the color ISTANBUL
    It says that it is not a lipstick or a gloss. It is a lipstick cream that goes on silky smooth but looks matte. 
    This color is great. I think the color can match just about any skin tone. 

    Cost $6.00









    On the left is NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in ISTANBUL.
    On the right is Urban Decay eyeshadow in SIN










    From Urban Decay:


    Eyeshadow in color SIN (full size 1.5gm). This is a beautiful champaign-like shimmery shadow. I have heard a lot of talk about this specific color shadow. This is so beautiful and cannot wait to use this one as well. Cost $17.00



    Eyeshadow Primer Potion (sample 3.7ml) gives you a more "vibrant CREASE-FREE shadow for 24+ hrs". I have  heard a lot about this product as well, for the lasting power it has for your shadows. Looks like I will be trying this one too in the morning! So far It looks like I will be trying everything. The full size is 10ml and costs $18.00 but is on sale for $10.00 right now cause it looks like they are trying to get rid of all the old style containers, since they have a new "tube-like" packaging now. So I guess if you want a good deal you should rush over and get it for $10.00 The sample is approx. $3.+

    Just like it was advertised: eveything you get you can use together to make a look. I will be checking out MyGlam.com to see what the stylist have done with this great GlamBag! 
    The approximate TOTaL for my Glam Bag was approx $55.00. So I think this was a great investment in a beauty subscription. I could NEVER go and get thee items for this price even if I begged or pleaded. Thank you Michelle for making my 1st Glam Bag so FANTASTIC and I cannot wait for the next one!

    Check out my you tube video on these items too! 


    Chow chow for now!!

    Beauty boxes and bag subscriptions


    I have 3 pending deliveries coming in the mail  
    Holiday VoxBox, Glam Bag and BirchBox
    • 1st is from a new company http://www.myglam.com/. This is from You Tube Guru Michelle Phan. This is a monthly subscription of $10 a month and you get deluxe and full sized beauty products. What's different about this and birch box is that you can get help and inspired looks from stylists with the items received in your Glam Bag. Not to mention they are going to have full sized products in it as well. They also tell you what is in the months Glam Bag before you even get it, which makes you so excited to open your package when you receive it. So I am here tapping my nails waiting for the 1st Glam Bag to come in and share with everyone. By the way shipping is FREE too.
    • 2nd is fromhttp://www.birchbox.com/  This is a $10 monthly subscription beauty box. You get 4-5 deluxe samples from great companies. Stila, Aveda, Nars, Redken, perfumes, etc. Sometimes you get some random items too, but it is a surprise every month. It's Like Christmas once a month. So I cannot wait for this month's Box. And by the way the box is so cute too. So try to recycle it and save on waste. Shipping is FREE here too. 
    • 3rd from http://www.influenster.com/ is my 1st VoxBox. It's actually going to be the Holiday VoxBox. This is completely for free. You can get anything from beauty, health grooming, snack, beverage and more. Just complete badges and when they have one that fits you, you will receive it in the mail. So keep up with it and make sure you complete as much as possible. I joined on Nov. 2nd 2011 and I was invited to get the Holiday VoxBox on Novemeber 26th. Sharing the info is the best way to get invited to these types of things also. So don't forget to share on FB, Tweet and you tube it if you do that! Yep FREE shipping here too.
    So whats coming in the Holiday VoxBox? A-Little-Fun-this-Season-Holiday-VoxBox
    • Some type of  "eye-catching nails" nail strips I believe
    • a "face mask" 
    • a "liquid lipshine" something that I think can last from the hints they give 
    • "Flavorful fruits and spices" this one I don't know what it is. A snack, fruit chews? who knows, but I can't wait to find out.
    • a "zesty fresh breath freshener"
    • last a "coconut soap". I love the scent of coconut. 
    • I also hear some may get an extra something if they qualify for it.
    Chow chow for now  until I get my mail
