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.

NAIL POLISH HAUL

So I bought a bunch of nail polishes (like I needed some). I had been on a hunt to find a good online retailer for discounted polishes and I think I found a good one. Transdesign.com my friend, thats her name. I only got Essie and China Glaze but they had a few other brands like Color Club and Barielle. 

top row from left to right China Glaze: Go Go Pink, Flip Flip Fantasy, Kalahari Kiss, Kiwi Cool-ada, Secret Peri-Wink-le, and Classic Camel (priced at $2.99)

bottom row from the left to right Essie: Da Bush, Mojito Madness, Fiji, Borrowed and Blue, Bikini so Teeny, and Cocktail Bling (priced at $5.95)

I decided that I needed to reorganize my nail polish, for years I've had them in a drawer laying down and just wanted an easier way to find what I wanted to wear. So I came up with this:

A simple shoe box, now don't get me wrong it certainly isn't aesthetically pleasing but I was more concerned with function. This pic I took by the way before I placed my new twelve inside. 

I've been keeping the box under my bed, I'm not sure if I'm ashamed or not but quite frankly I don't want a nail polish rack ... I just don't want everyone to see how many polishes I have. My collection isn't massive but its not something everyone would appreciate. (I can't stand the OMG! do you need so many comments)

BUT back to a high note I'm pretty excited to wear them particularly flip flop fantasy and bikini so teeny, I just love bright nails. The polishes shipped very quickly, got em two days after I made my purchase. Shipping and handling was $8.95 and there was NO TAX.

Kiss® everEZlashes

SO I received these Kiss everEZlashes as part of my Influenster bride-to-be voxbox and was instantly excited to see them. If you haven't heard already these lashes are the first ever lashes to have a string attached to them in order to help with the application. I didn't want to get overly excited only to be let down but these have definitely lived up to my expectations.

All you need to do is apply glue to the rim of the lashes, wait for them to get tacky and place them on using the red strings that kiss has so GENIUSLY placed at the ends

and VOILA! DONE

after you get them on just gently pull the strings off

(side note...don't they look natural)

I typically have a hard time getting lashes on but these were sooooo easy, but still there are instructions on the back incase you have trouble figuring out how to use the kiss everEZlashes.

Look these lashes are simply amazing they are made with HUMAN HAIR, latex free, odor free, water proof, with a flexible formula for a 24hr hold  At $3.99 they are a steal. 

You can purchase these at places like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and many other drugstore or beauty supply stores. Check out http://www.everezlashes.com  for more information.

*This product was provided complimentary but as as always my review is completely honest.
