Product Review: NYC New York Color

Kechell E.December 21, 2011Product Reviews No comments

A couple months ago I signed up on Influenster. It's pretty much a site where people try product and tell their friends about it through social media.

In the holiday VoxBox[a box filled with a variety f products to try] I received a NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in the color NUDE YORK CITY.

I'm not big on the whole lip gloss thing; I'm more of a chap-stick kind of girl, and I also like to go for a more natural look. What I liked the most was the color [NUDE YORK CITY] since it went on in a clear matter. I knew it was there but it wasn't there kind of thing. It last a long time on and I didn't have to reapply many times[just once; I lick my lips more than I should] which is always good.

When using this product I would recommend not to put on a lot. It comes one a little thick so a little will go a long ways.

NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway!

Liquid Lipshine ($2.49) is beauty-editor favorite. It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias. Start shopping for NYC at these stores nearest you: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others.

Get The Look: Create Beachy Waves

Kechell E.November 10, 2011Beauty No comments

STEP 1: Spritz curl goddess curling mist on towel-dried hair to activate natural waves. Blow-dry hair using a diffuser to promote waves. Still straight? Curl the entire head away from the face using a 1" iron.

STEP 2: Warm a dime-size amount of curl goddess styling cream in palms. Scrunch styling cream throughout the hair to smooth frizzies, not create perfect waves — the result should be a somewhat undone look.

Get The Look: "No-Makeup" Makeup

Kechell E.July 30, 2011Beauty No comments

FACE: With great skin, you can get away with wearing very little makeup yet still look gorgeous. Ensure your skin's great by giving it a boost in radiance and tone. Pick: get a tint shimmer tinted moisturizer lotion SPF 15 (model is wearing shade ivory/nude).

CHEEKS: Apply a bronzer or nude blush next, in a way that sculpts the face: Sweep a light strip of color along the lower part of the cheekbone and blend until you look naturally defined. Also apply just a hint of color to the apples of the cheeks. Pick: glowdacious illuminating powder (model is wearing shade prettied up)

SHADOW: Play to your mood with sheer neutral shades, there are no rules for this look. Sweep one or two shades over the lids; then blend them until sheer or use a single shade simply to rim eyes. Pick: mini mark it stick in shades gold opal and cocoa bean.

LINER: For a serious no-makeup look, line just the upper lid. For a little more intensity, also line the lower corners -- but only the lower corners or else you'll look too "made up". A subtle shade will provide definition without distracting from the rest of the look Pick: metalliner in shade bronze edge.

LIPS: Nude shades are the obvious choice; it's finding the right nude that's tricky. You want to neutralize any pinky tones so your lips are a similar shade to you skin. Pick: (for this model): lipclick SPF 15 color shine lipclick in shade honey bunny.

This post brought to you by FRESCHETTA®. All opinions are 100% mine.

Larger cuts of fresh-tasting vegetables. Flavorful cheeses. Vibrant sauces. Experience a deliciously different pizza from toppings to bottom.

I was simply inspired by Freschetta and discovered that I have an adventurous palate. With their eight great-tasting varieties, the three that fit my taste are Harvest Supreme, Hawaiian Style, and Farmers Market Veggie. I am very picky when it come to my pizza and what’s on top of it. When I tried the Farmers Market Veggie [WOW!!!] it was nothing I have tasted before. I was happy to learn that all the vegetables and ingredients are fresh withno additives or preservatives. Freschetta uses a FRESCH-TASTE SEAL Packing that locks in the vibrant flavors, while using 30% less packaging material. [talk about going green]

Eight Flavors to Choose from:

Harvest Supreme
Classic Bruschetta
Hawaiian Style
Chicken Bianco
Farmers Market Veggie
Rustic Pepperoni Pomodoro
Southern BBQ Recipe Chicken
Tuscan Farmhouse
