NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Custom Compact


I'm not sure if you've seen this before but this my friend is a fabulous smokey eye look in one  palette....her name is NYC individualEyes custom compact. This baby run's for $4.99 in chain drugstores and its worth every single penny of it. This little compact contains four eyeshadows a primer and a cream illuminator.... Check out the swatches:

The top row are the colors without  primer and the bottom row are the colors with the primer as you can tell they're pigmented even without any base.

This is a neat palette and for five bucks its definitely worth a try, you can check this out and some of the other great products from NYC here http://newyorkcolor.com/

*Influenster sent me this  product complimentary for the purpose of testing and reviewing but as always my opinions are honest ones.

CURRENT BEAUTY FAVORITES


First let me just preface this by saying I am a product junky and so I'm constantly getting new things and I have a whole slew of things I'm currently using but these are the ones the ones that stand out the most right now.
Sulfur 8 medicated shampoo....I had the hardest time finding a shampoo that would remove buildup from my hair and this does the trick (and no it doesn't smell like their other products)
Model in a bottle long lasting eyebrow sealer...this is actually works pretty well, now I will say that I don't suffer from thin eyebrows so I don't know how it would work for someone with entirely drawn brows but if you just fill in some spots or just need something with strong hold THIS is it.
Paula's Choice resist remarkable skin lightening lotion.... this is a dark spot treatment that contains 2%hydroquinone and 7% alpha hydroxy acid and I've been using this bad boy up recently in efforts to get rid of my most recent breakout and its definitely been working.
M.A.C studio finish concealer....this is an old classic I've had this same pot for some time now and still love it. This concealer works great under my eyes and to conceal any dark spots I get.
Everyday Minerals Base.... this is just a mineral foundation that I had the sample size in color winged butter which is a really light color for me so I've been using this under my eyes as a brightener.
Black Radiance continuous cream liner....hands down the best drugstore cream liner I've ever tried, not only is it true black but it just doesn't budge till your remove it.
