NEW YORK COLOR new products 2012

 I'm really excited to see some new affordable products from drugstore lately. Believe it or not, I cannot even remember what was the last time I purchase makeup products, sad. 

Anyway, I was in the drugstore looking for some wet n wild products then I found these from NEW YORK COLOR. 

 I'm always looking for a primer works for my skin and how can I miss this one. The packaging and formula of this reminds me of the Rimmel fix and perfect primer 002. I haven't try it yet so will have a separate post soon.

 Here are two bronzing powders I pick up from NEW YORK COLOR. 

706 Hamptons Radiance is a really beautiful color combination of peach, gold/bronze,cream color, I love it. It reminds me of the ELF studio golden bronzer and

also physicians formula shimmer strips bronzer. All colors are very pigmented as you can see.

 708 Coney Island Grow is a combination of dark brown and cream color, not as shimmery as the other one but not bad as well. I think this is more suitable for use as a bronzer because I prefer matte finish. 

The swatches are very similar, personally I really like the  706 Hamptons Radiance even though I already have shimmer strips bronzer from physicians formula( very similar), if you already have product like this or color like this I don't recommend to have these but it won't hurt if you want to try, I mean it's under $5, like most of the products from this brand.

ELF Goldern Bronzer

NYC Quick Dry Nail Polish 264 Lincoln Square Lavender

Revlon lipstick Pink in the Afternoon

 Naruko Skin care:

These two Naruko products are mentioned in my skin care post, I have been using this for almost two months now. I really like them because they works very well brightening my skin and also keep it moisturized. Usually I will add a layer of sun protection after I apply them then put makeup on.

ELF Golden Bronzer:
 Love the texture and color from the ELF Goldern Bronzer, I use them as eye shadow and highlight  for everyday makeup look, the texture make it really easy to work with, takes no time to apply and blend .

NYC Nail Polish Color: 264 Lincoln Square Lavender: 

So far the best color that I had for spring and summer. I'm really shock by how beautiful the color shows on my nails, pink lavender color with glossy finish. I don't even need a top coat with it. Another great thing about this nail polish is I can achieve different finish with different layers, one coat will leave a juicy, pastel color, two coats: opaque pink lavender color.

Last but not least is the Revlon lipstick color: Pink in the Afternoon. Pink rosy color, feels good on lips and looks very flattering.

Thanks for reading and have a good weekend!

Current Bronzer

H&M Bronzing Powder

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Sunny720A

ELF Studio Bronzer Golden 

( L to R, H&M Bronzer,NYC Sunny, ELF Golden)

Comparison between these three:

Color:  

H&M bronzer and NYC Sunny are very similar color. NYC Sunny is slightly darker, they both are matte color. ELF Golden Bronzer contains of four very shimmery color, very pigmented.

Texture:

ELF is the most soft one, feels creamy and easy to get on the brush. H&M Bronzer is next then the NYC Sunny. I feel the NYC Sunny is more harder pressed powder, I need to use more pressure to load it on my brush and also need more time to blend.

Summary:

I like my H&M Bronzer the most. The texture, color is in between the other two and more natural on my face. Since I'm not a bronzer perosn, I don't use it everyday and I don't want it to be so obvious. 

ELF is more suitable as a multitask powder for me. I use all four color as eye shadow, use the lightest shade for highlighting my nose, cheek bone. NYC Sunny may be good for night out, on photo or camera.
