Review: NYC Eyeliner in Mockingbird

Hello! Today I'm going to review the NYC Eyeliner duo in the colour Mockingbird.

This is what it looks like :)
It only cost me $2 at Walmart, which I thought was an amazing deal. I was out of black eyeliner, and so I thought I'd give it a go.

Turns out I was very impressed with their product. I especially was impressed with the black end, because it was very pigmented, it didn't smudge very much at all, and it didn't feel too scratchy or irritating on the eyes :) However the white end was slightly disappointing, it didn't show up really well on me (maybe it's because my skin tone is really pale anyway), but anyhoo!

Swatches for you :)
Overall, I was impressed

3/5

Review: NYC lipstick in Snowcone


Hello! Today I'm going to do a review of New York Colour's lipstick in the shade 'Snowcone'. I bought this at my local drugstore (haul to be uploaded if you're interested + I'm going to review all of the products as I try them out).

NYC brand is very inexpensive, this lipstick only cost $1.77, so a really good deal if you're on a budget. I'm very impressed with how pigmented it is, the colour payoff is rather nice.

Nice little swatch for you
The shade suits me quite well (I've got quite the 'English Rose' complexion going on, so if you're pale like me this colour will suit you!)



Here is a closeup of what it looks like on the lips because it's quite hard to see:
Closeup!
The only thing that isn't great about this lipstick is the packaging.



It looks ok, however the lipstick doesn't wind down all the way, so every time I put the lid back on I'm worried I'm going to break the lipstick!

Also it's important to note that the lipstick isn't that moisturizing, however it didn't dry my lips out too much either!

All in all I'm very impressed with this lipstick, and I will be buying more NYC lipsticks in the future.

4/5

I should be doing my second music monday later (at this rate it might end up being a music tuesday!)

Love,
