NYC Bronzer in Sunny

Hi everyone! This is a review on the NYC bronzer in Sunny. This is one of my favorite bronzers. I can use it all over my face or use it to contour. This bronzer is pigmented, but not too pigmented.It is definitely a light warm toned bronzer. I would recommend this for people with light to medium skin tones, because i don't think this would show up very well on deeper complexions.

Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Trio in I'm Getting Sunburned

I've been hearing nonstop about how great the Wet N Wild eyeshadows are. I know I'm kind of late to the party on this one, but I finally bought and tried one. I picked up the eyeshadow trio in I'm Getting Sunburned for only $2.99, and trust me that was a big steal for these eyeshadows! They are incredibly pigmented and soft. They almost remind me of the texture of a stila eyeshadow. Overall, these are great quality eyeshadows, and I would highly recommend these if you are on a budget or not.

Color Description:

Browbone: Very Frosty purple pink
Crease: Matte chocolate brown with orange glitter
Lid: Orange-toned gold

MAC Studio Finish Concealer

Ok, so I was on the hunt for a concealer with a really cool undertone, because my skin has a lot (and I mean a lot!) of pink in it. Every other concealer is way too yellow for me. Anyway, I had seen reviews raving about MAC studio finish, and i figured i should try it, because MAC's shades normally match me. So I made my way to the counter in Macy's. I even had the woman working there apply it on me, just to make sure it worked for me. When I say I looked flawless with this concealer I mean it! It looked amazing! So needless to say, I bought it. I didn't realize until a week after I started using it that it oxidizes on me. After a few hours on my NW15 skin, it turned orange. That's why I have mixed feelings about it. I wouldn't recommend this for under the eyes, but it work well on blemishes. Since this is such a good concealer, I just have to bite the bullet and fix it during the course of the day. But that's the only bad thing I have to say about it, and if you have a darker skin tone than me (most people do) then it may not even oxidize on you.
