NYC Lip Slider in Sugar Angel

N.Y.C. Lip Slider in Sugar Angel

Comes in a slide-tin can and there's a clear plastic window that allows you to see the color of the product.
I think the packaging is easy to tote around since it's not bulky.

As you can see this product has gone on a lot of trips with me. :3

Swatched on a cotton pad.
A lovely coral shade. This product gives a rather sheer but lovely hint of color on the lips. 

Swatch on lips.

I couldn't choose which one I liked better so I'll go ahead and post both lip swatches.

I use this gloss for days when I don't feel like wearing makeup since it only gives my lips a lovely hint of color.
The product was donated given to me by Pammy. She also has a review of NYC Lip sliders here.

PROS:

- Gives a subtle coral shade which is perfect for natural or the no makeup, makeup look.
- Can be used to top off lipstick. 
- The product can easily be brought with you wherever you go.
- Affordable.
- Sweet scent. :3

CONS:

- The product is a bit goopy, tacky and a little thick. 
- Hygienic persons may have a problem dipping their fingers on the tub.
- Not locally available.

NEUTRAL:
- This is an ok product for me during the day but I find that it tends to leave my lips dry when I take it off. I don't know if other people have had that similar experience but I have very dry lips.

Like Pammy I wish it were a bit more pigmented because it is rather a bit thick for the very subtle color that it gives. I do like this product. :3 I like it because of Pammy! And because it has my name on it LOL! Also the coral shade is pretty. So I can't say if I like it or if I don't but I like Pammycakes! <3

UPDATE:
My wi-fi has really been going crazy lately. Also I started playing an RPG game on my iphone. I probably won't go back to posting normally until I finish it. (It usually takes me about 1-5 days to finish a game.) :p

NYC Blushable Creme Stick in 644U Plaza Pink


 NYC Blushable Creme Stick in 644U Plaza Pink
I got mine from a package from a very lovely friend and I find that I have been reaching out for this product a lot lately so I guess it's about time to give it a review. :)


Comes in a sleek & sturdy stick. :)


This is the twist up applicator stick. Please do note that I have already used this for quite some time.


Swatched - one swipe
I don't know why my skin turns blue in pictures. :P 

It's a pink coral peach color which would look great on fair skinned ladies but I think it also gives my skin a very natural flush that's perfect for summer. :p

Product has a bit of shimmer but the shimmers don't bother me as they don't really show up at all. :)

I have been really lazy lately and have been using this on top of sunscreen. >.< As previously stated it gives me a nice glow but I find that I need to set it with a setting or loose powder or else I will look like a grease ball in a couple of hours. 


PROS:
- Affordable.
- You get a lot of product!
- Very easy to blend. I either use my fingers or brush.
- No breakouts.
- Gives a dewy finish.
- No scent.
-  Easy to tote along everywhere as it comes in a stick and the packaging is quite sturdy.

CONS:
- Not locally available.
- This blush must be set with another blush or a finishing/translucent powder.
- Staying power isn't so great for those with oily skin. :/
-Might accentuate large pores.

NEUTRAL:
- It's easy to get clown cheeks with this as it is really pigmented so remember to use a light hand when applying it and blend, blend, blend! :P
