Get the Look with New York Color

Disclaimer: The products featured were provided for review.
In celebration of the first New York Color Canada #NYCBeautyPro anniversary, I wanted to share with you a simple look using a couple of classic products from the brand. 

Starting with a beautiful bright red lipstick called "Traffic Jam" ($1.99 CAD), I went on with a simple black liner called the HD Automatic Waterproof Eyeliner ($4.49 CAD). The liner is creamy and smooth and it has a convenient twist-up mechanism. To finish off the look I used a great matte bronzer called the Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in "Sunny" ($4.99 CAD). The color is impressively finely-milled and pigmented, just a little gives the cheeks a healthy glow!

Have you tried any of these NYC products? Share your thoughts with me in the comments below and stay tuned for new NYC releases for Fall 2015!

NYC New York Color Fall 2015 Runway Inspired Manicure: #NYCBeautyPro March Challenge

Disclaimer: Product featured was provided for review.
For March, New York Color has challenged us to create a fun manicure look inspired by the Fall 2015 Collection from New York Fashion week. I used to be a big fashion fanatic and followed all the runway seasons but in the recent years I've really fallen behind with the trends. Nevertheless, I browsed some shows from Fall 2015 and noticed that a lot of designers employed a lot of the classic fall colors with a mix of metallic and textures. So I did a simple no-tools-needed mani that features some glitter and some classic fall colors. To see more pictures and the polishes I used, click.......
