❤what I think❤

The consistensy of this primer is rather thin but still feels smooth, goes on easily. It can instantly brightens and illuminatse my skin. It contains small shimmer particles, but once you fully rub it into the skin the shimmer turns to a glow and won't be noticeable.
It does not minimize pores or even out skin tone, not as I noticed, but it does prime the skin and make the next step applying foundation more easily especially when you have dry skin. I use this in the center of my face where I need highlight and it works great. 

I personally love it for cool weather or when my skin is dull, but not for the summer time because it make my face looks oily , and I don't recommend this for oily skin. 

overall:

★★☆☆☆

Pros:

Smooth texture

Brightens, illuminates skin

Provides a smooth application for foundation

Affordable

Cons:

Contains shimmer

Does not minimize pores 

Does not even skin tone

Not for oily skin

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.
