REVIEW - N.Y.C Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny

On my recent trip to Target i picked up this bronzer that i've been wanting to try for a long time. It's by N.Y.C and its extremely affordable, around $3. It comes in a small slim compact with a mirror. You can easily just slip it in your purse its super cute. The quality is really good for the price. It goes on extremely smooth and just gives your face a nice sun-kissed look without overdoing it. It's not super pigmented so you don't have to worry about a light hand with a brush or sponge. I like using the brush to just blend it on my face for a nice hint of color. It's definitely one of my favorite bronzers since its a nice matte finish with a slight sheen feel without looking glittery or shimmery. I highly recommend it. 

Benefits
Sun-kissed yet natural look year round without the damaging effects of the sun
Glides easily for sheer effect
Adds a tanned look in seconds
Can be worn alone or over makeup
Dermatologist tested

Swatches compared to other bronzers i own

Review - NYC Blushable Creme Stick in Plaza Pink

I've heard so much rave about this product and i just had to go check it out. You can find it at Ulta. Its price is about $3-$4. Very affordable for the quality and the quantity.

There are six shades available:

Plaza Pink (644)

Big Apple Blush (645)

Urban Spice (646)

South Street Seashell (647)

Mauvin' Uptown (648)

Berry New Yorker (649)

There colors seem to range from peachy, to pink, to bronzes and browns. They're a great combinations of cheek colors and contour colors.

Plaza Pink
(644)
It's a beautiful coral pink that has a slight sheen to it. It's not heavy glitters or shimmer, but it gives your cheeks a gorgeous peachy glow. Its so perfect for the summer. It has a great color pay-off. You can definitely build it up to the intensity you prefer. It applies very creamy, but once you blend it into the skin it becomes a soft powdery formula. It reminds me a lot of the Maybelline mousse blushes. The NYC creme sticks though blend a lot smoother to me though. I really do recommend checking these out at Ulta.

PROS:
- Great color pay off
- Soft and creamy
- Buildable
- Not greasy or sticky at all
- Convenient twist up stick
- Gorgeous color selection

CONS:
- The vibrant color doesn't really last all day

I'm really excited about these. I'm going to consider getting other shades, probably the darker ones for contouring, since i contour with bronzer, i would like to give these a try. They're very affordable, very handy to carry with you, and the quality is worth it for the price. I highly recommend you check these out. They also have other two LE shades available called Pink Flash and Wild Berry.
