Do you want to look great without breaking the bank? You may think only premier lines with their fancy packaging can make this happen. However, you may be surprised at the excellent cosmetics that you can find for hardly a fraction of those high end brands at your drug store like NYC New York Color.

Recently, I had the chance to try out some of NYC face products:


Smooth Skin Perfecting Primer in the shade 684 which was a best of beauty award winner by Allure in 2012. Every New York fashionista needs accessories with style. The NYC Color Primer comes in a sleek, handy tube pack that will fit in perfectly in any make-up bag. The formula inside is just as handy as it glides on evenly and easily on the skin.  NYC Color’s Primer instantly transforms even the most city-weary complexions, reviving dull looking skin and boosting radiance. Think of this so-called lingerie for your skin as unmentionables definitely worth mentioning! It’s the ultimate accessory for your skin that’s perfect for all skin types.

• Lines appear minimized
• Imperfections, dark circles and enlarged pores are masked
• With vitamin E which helps to protect against potential free radical damage
• Enhances your skin’s smoothness and moisturization
• Lasts all day

I tend to favor this perfecting primer over some of the more expensive brands that I own.


Smooth Skin Liquid Concealer:
Be your perfect self on any occasion with NYC New York Color Smooth Skin Liquid Concealer. The luxurious creamy formula evens skin tone, covers imperfections and conceals under-eye circles. The formula is enriched with vitamin A, C and E to help protect against environmental damage, plus the Perfect Fit Applicator blends easily without tugging or pulling. Get it all - care and cover for a dreamily low price.

What are the benefits:

• Antioxidants infused formula
• Creamy formula easy to apply
• Conceals under-eye circles and skin imperfections
• Dermatologist tested

The brush in the concealer is soft and flexible. It doesn't overload with concealer so you don't have that dreaded glob or waste.


 This is the shade medium and blends perfectly with my skin. It looks light but blends well to cover up those imperfections we all hate!
