Bright Aspiration : NYC; My New Obsession.

Hey guys!

I am so sorry that I have been away for so long. I just felt like I needed a break from the blogging world and I hope you respect that.

You may be quite surprised that I had never actually tried anything from the brand NYC until a couple of weeks ago. And let me tell you, I am obsessed!

The first thing I picked up was one of their eye shadow quads. Apart from the amazing shades what I loved most about this is that it also includes a primer and cream highlighter, of which both I love! The primer really neutralizes my eye lids and stops my eye shadow from creasing. My favourite shade is the matt medium brown, which I have been enjoying wearing the most. The quad is called 938 Union Square and is designed for brown eyes, I have green, oh well it is still beautiful.

Individual Eyes 938 Union Square $4.99 (I found this is a makeup outlet and am not sure where this exact palette is available in the UK, but Superdrug do stock NYC and their are similar palettes here )

Another item I got was the NYC City Duet Shimmer Powder in 382 Halo. Unfortunately I am pretty sure this is a limited edition product and as I did not purchase this in Superdrug or Boots, am not sure where you can purchase it. I have to say, this is my least favourite product. I was pleased to find this as the bronzer side is quite light so I thought it would be ideal for my pale skin, but it really does not transfer much colour and neither does the highlighter. It is very shimmery and does add a nice glow to the skin which is great for summer, so I don't hate it, but wouldn't recommend it if you decided to buy it for a bronzer.

The next thing I picked up was more eye shadow, but this time a trio. This was also a big hit with me as their eye shadows are extremely pigmented and the colours are gorgeous. I picked up the colour 003 Electric Funk. They do have some weird names. This includes a beautiful emerald green, a shimmery burgundy and a pretty bronze. I love how their eye shadows have a quilted pattern on them, it's different and very appealing.

(I also couldn't find this available anywhere, I'm sorry guys)

The last thing I got from NYC was their Toughen Up Nail Strengthener. Lately my nails have been getting very rough and just not their best as I have been wearing nail polish more often so I decided to try a nail strengthener so see if it would help. This product is a miracle worker. I immediately noticed a difference in my nails. I left this on for a good week and it completely changed my nails, as well as leaving a nice shine while on. I will definetley be repurchasing this and using it very often. I definetley recommend this if you want to fix up your nails, go and buy it now!!
