NYC Big Bold Bronzer in Manhatan

Hello my beauties I hope you are all well :) 

Todays review is on a very very affordable bronzer that I am actually enjoying alot lately especially with me been alot paler since last summer I found the bronzers I was using before are getting a little too dark for me to use on an every day basis.  This bronzer has been just right for me and I just had to share it with you.  

It is the NYC Big Bold Bronzer in shade Manhatan :) Available from Superdrug at only £3.99 which is less than €5.  In the pharmacy where I got mine I only paid €3.99 for it :)  

There is 2 shades available Manhatan and Metropolitan 
We are getting a whopping 17.1 g of product for our prices which is amazing :) and even better news ....... They are both matte :) :)  In all fairness I have to admit I love matte bronzers I prefer them over shimmer ones any day.  I do own one one shimmer bronzer which is beautiful and amazing and has lasted me a long time in fact i have it over 2 years and still haven't hit pan.  I only use that one when I am going out.  

Manhatan is the perfect bronzer for anyone who has fair to medium skin-tones :)  Its a very light natural tan shade and would be perfect for everyday bronzing.  Metropolitan is suitable for anyone with medium to dark skin-tones in which I will also purchase as I wear a darker foundation when I am wearing tan ;) 

You may have noticed the tiny speck of shimmer in the bronzer but to be honest I do not even know why they are there because even when you swatch this you will not notice any on your face at all.  Even when I swatched the bronzer on my finger all I got was pure matte powder.  If anything the powder gives a warm semi glow to your face which is exactly what we need especially when we are pale.  
I love how smooth and soft this bronzer feels against the skin it feels like silk.  It blends out beautifully and of course its build-able so do not worry if you are the palest of pale this beauty can be as light or as pigmented as you want it to be.  I love the fact that you will not get too much powder on your brush while using this either as its nicely compacted leaving you with 100% control of how much you want to apply to your face.  Plus you are not losing too much product in the process :) 
In the picture below I swatched the bronzer twice over to make the shade stand out in the photo but it can be lighter :) 

Overall I highly recommend you try their bronzer out if you are looking for something to warm up your complexion a little this is for you.  I find it great especially if I have a foundation that is a little too light for me it blends out to a beautiful natural finish.  I love to use my elf Kabuki brush for this.  I also use this for a natural contoured look too as I said before its build-able so I just apply and apply until i am satisfied with the even contoured look :) :) 
In the photo below I used the NYC Big Bronzer in Manhatan all over the face and neck for a more warmer looking complexion :) 

For the price you are definitely getting your moneys worth :) :) And just to add to this positive review its one of NYC's top selling products :) 
Have you tried this bronzer yet?  
Whats your thoughts on it :) 
Until next time 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter 

I love love love hearing from you all :) I make it my duty to read each and every one of you comments and every time i get a comment from you it highlights my day thanks so so much to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

NYC Blushable Creme Stick Review

Well hello there my beauties :) 

Once upon a time i purchased these NYC Blushable Creme Sticks used them, loved them, adored them and moved on to something else and forgot about them for a while (as you do when you have too much makeup).  I even took them too much for granted that I hadnt even got round to blogging about them because i got so used to having them in my daily routine (as you do again).  But recently I was chatting to a fellow blogger and these particular blushes came into the conversation and I was saying that i must get using them again and get more shades then she hit me with a bombshell ........She told me that they have been discontinued earlier this year :O :O I couldnt believe it.  Thats when i really needed to find out if i could get them or not.  Anywhere I searched had not got them and told me the same thing "We no longer sell them" :( 

UNTIL.......I checked up on ebay and what did i find LOTS & LOTS of sellers had them.  They must have stocked up when they heard the news :) I was thrilled and immediately stocked up.  You can also get them on Amazon :)  

This is where I decided these little beauties deserved the review I should having given them when i first got them better late than never eh?

Get the glow you'll want to show with NYC New York Color Blushable Crème Stick. It gives a natural flush to your cheeks in one quick step. Soft and creamy colors can be blended to the desired intensity and coverage. This lightweight formula provides sheer, all-over color as well as subtle, shimmering accents, contours and dynamic highlights to your cheeks. Quick, on-the-go and extremely easy to apply

As far as i can remember there was only every 6-8 shades to choose from.  The price range is different depending on where you get them but recently I paid about 14 euro including postage for all 4 shades which works out at only 3.50 euro each brilliant value !!!!!  You are getting 8g of product per tube which is alot and will last you a long long time.  
The blush comes in a plastic large sized lipstick type tube (if that makes sense haha)  Its like a lipstick as you screw the bottom to get the blush.  
Let me show you the shades :) 

Plaza Pink:  This is the very first shade I purchased :) Its a stunning shimmery pinky coral shade .  I loved this around the summer time as the shimmers gave a stunning glow.  If you do not like shimmer in your blushes this is not one for you as it does have fairly visable shimmer.  This is not as pigmented as the rest even though when swatched first it seems like you put too much on but when blended out it gives a nice little tint but it is buildable.  This is a perfect shade for anyone who has fair to medium skin tone.  

Next up 

South St. Seashell:  Now this is one or should i say was one of the more popular shades as its a stunning.  Its a unusually peachy pink brown shade.  It looks darker in the tube than it is.  I love wearing this on nights out if i have a dark smokey eye it blends in well with a smokey eye or strong lip day :) 

Next 

Berry New Yorker:  This is a stunning rosey shade and its 100% matte :) This glides on so so cream a little of this goes a long way.  This can be used too with a smokey eye or bright lip.  I think this might be a little dark for anyone with fair skin but anyone with medium to dark skin tone.  I found this blends out brilliantly and its actually quite build-able.  

And Lastly 

Pink Flash:  I was amazed by this blush in particular its so bright and cheerful :)  This is a stunning baby pink but has tints of coral believe me when i say this shade is oh so wow pigmented and you may be put off my the swatch but when blended out this shade looks stunning on the cheeks plus its matte.  I loved wearing this shade in the summer too .  

So why do i like them so much 

They are affordable for the amount you are getting in each product you are surely getting more than your moneys worth. 

They blend so so easily so they work great for people who are in a hurry in the mornings or are new to makeup. 

They work well with either applying with your fingers or stippling brush

They are so so pigmented but a little goes a long way and they are build-able

They do not clog up pores 

I found they lasted a good 4 to 5 hours before i noticed any fading and they even make you not so pigment powder blushes last longer if you use these as a base 

They are suitable for all skin types

These blushes are an amazing product for a very low drugstore product and I can not believe they have been discontinued.  I am surely going to try and get the other shades and have them in my collection.  These are amazing and hopefully NYC will bring them back.  Have you tried them at all? This is why I have done this review as i believe they deserve it plus its not too late to get them as i have linked two places you can buy them

So thats it for today everyone.  I hope you are all well 
Until next time take care 
Lots of Love Luck and Laughter
