NYC Sun 'n' Bronze Bronzer Review




So whilst birthday shopping I was on the hunt for a new bronzer. I haven't really been too into using them in the past because with my skin being so light, I have been afraid of it making me look orange.

With that in mind I was looking for something with a dark enough color to give me a slightly tanned look, but with light enough color I didn't look orange.

The solution? Finding a bronzer with a mixture of colors. I managed to find a few and this one from NYC caught my attention. It wasn't overly pricey, and had a very nice mixture of colors.

I have to say I really like it, it does exactly what I wanted, if I mix the colors together then tap off the brush then I get the right amount of color so that I don't look too dark, just nicely tan and glowy.



Now I do have one little problem with this bronzer, as much as I like the color and effect it has, it breaks. As you can see pieces are just coming out of the tray, this means I have to be quite careful with it or else I might loose some of the powder and therefor the color. Because of this it will be hard for me to take this with me anywhere because I'm afraid it'd be completely broken by the time I got it there. I'm not sure if it's only gonna be the edges that do this or if it'll all break eventually, but this is an issue for me.



So this is what happened when I took it to the beach. It had already had a little more breaking to begin with, but after traveling with it, it's in pieces. It was handled with care, it wasn't thrown around, the case should've protected it well enough, yet this still happened. This Bronzer really has no durability at all, and I now have to be quite careful to use it.

That being said, since I do like the color I may buy it again because as I said it didn't cost that much, but I do wish they'd fix this issue. However, if it still continues to do this every time, I wouldn't try it again unless I heard they fixed it.
Have any of you guys had this problem with this? Is it just me?

Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick Review

Hey guys!! How was your week? Has school started back for you guys yet? My college recently started back so that's been interesting to balance with work. Today I thought I'd review the Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Kitten Heels.  I really really REALLY love this color and this lipstick in general.  This is my first ever liquid lipstick and I think it's awesome.  If you aren't familiar with liquid lipsticks,  they go on like a gloss, but dry like a matte or in  this case a cream lipstick. This one is gorgeous.  I'm actually really glad my boyfriend encouraged me to get this color (ok so I made him pick one... lol). This has pretty good lasting power to. It will need to be touched up after eating or drinking alot, but I feel like that's pretty normal for most lipsticks.  I would absolutely recommend this to you guys to try though,  it isn't too expensive and it's awesome. ^_^

The Drug Store Make Up Tag

1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand overall?   That's a really hard questions because I use a variety of brands, but I'd have to say either Maybelline or Covergirl is my favorite.  I'd probably have to go with Maybelline because I love their mascaras. 2. What are your favorite face, cheek and lip products? Hmm I think my favorite face product right now is probably the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. I really don't have a favorite cheek product because I don't use blush. My fav lip product right now is probably the Hard Candy Fierce Effects Lip Gloss in Make Me Blush. 3.Least favourite product? There are not many products I dislike but I'm not a huge fan of the Maybelline Super Stay 14th lipsticks. I find it drying. 4.What is your best makeup bargain?   Basically any ELF product is an amazing deal. 5.What is your favourite underdog product? (something you love that often gets overlooked)   I'm not really sure I have a favorite that gets ...

Anxiety Sucks

Hey guys!! I know this is my traditional type of post,  but I really have been having trouble with this lately and I just needed somewhere to vent. Anxiety really really sucks you guys. I've always been the kind of person who will get nervous about new experiences,  I've never liked being in front of people on stage or for presentations.  Even small groups would scare me, but I've never experienced anxiety quite like this.  Ever since December my anxiety has been far worse than its ever been. I was on my way to college one morning like usual, listening to music, singing along and all of a sudden my heart started racing, I was having trouble breathing, my hands were tingling, I got a headache,  and felt dizzy. Against my better judgment I continued to drive to school and after about 30 minutes of class realized I couldn't handle it. I was afraid to try and drive since I was dizzy so I ended up having to call my parents to come pick me up. At the time...
