N.Y.C. Blushable Creme Stick
I bought this around May and haven't been able to review until now... hehe~ :X
Product Review: N.Y.C. Blushable Creme Stick in #0150-05 Pink Flash (limited edition)
Where can you purchase this: drugstores, mass retailers, and online
Price: $3.99 for 0.28 oz/8g (I believe it's cheaper at CVS for $3.59, but not too sure on that and I had a discount. I got it for a lot cheaper).
Information on the website: Give a natural flush to your cheeks in one quick step! This lightweight formular blends effortlessly to provide sheer, all-over color as well as subtle, shimmering accents, contours and dynamic highlights to your cheeks.
My thoughts: I first heard about this on YouTube and it intrigued me. The makeup guru mentioned great things about this product. I knew I had to snatch one up when I heard about the limited edition one. My first initial reaction is the color of the packaging. How cute is the color! I have been into coral/peachy stuff including the packaging even though the blush is pink... lol~ :P The next thing I noticed is the blush doesn't go all the way down and you can swipe it with the plastic, clear top. If it went all the way down, it would be so much better... hehe~
I swatched the color on my hand and fell in love. It's so vibrant!
It reminds me of Barbie pink. I love it! :) I start off slow on my cheeks and build the color as I apply it. It's better to start light to brighter than brighter to light. ;)
As the days go on, I was pretty impressed the colored stayed on my cheeks. It might be because I have dry skin. I would think with oily skin the blush will wear off since it's cream.
The last thing that went through my head is would I reach for this blush often. In all honesty, this is my second stick blush. The first one I have from Smashbox and I have to admit I hardly reach for it. I don't know why since it would be easy since you can use your fingertips. :/ I have to admit I hardly reach for the N.Y.C. blush as well. I guess you can say I don't like the feeling of using my hands when it comes to applying blush. I need to change my mentality... lol~ :P
Pros:
* N.Y.C.; some products are good especially their lip tint in a tin.
* Pretty color packaging.
* Pretty color blush choices.
* Cream base; good for dry skin.
Cons:
* N.Y.C.; I tend to not like their products or hardly buy them.
* Hate the blush doesn't go all the way down.
* Cream base; wouldn't last long on oily skin.
Would I buy this again: Yes.

N.Y.C. Chroma Face Glow and Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Bronzing Powder
Not only had I bought stuff from the mall (click here to see my mall haul), I also bought some stuff at the drugstore. :X
I bought the N.Y.C. Chroma Face Glow in Moonstone at Rite-Aid for $2.49 (originally for $4.99). It was in the clearance section for 50% off... woo hoo~ I've been wanting this blush for quite a few months but I kept refusing. This time I couldn't since it was on sale! :)
The one on the right, Prestige Skin Loving Minerals Bronzing Powder in Pure Shimmer, has an interesting story to it... hehe~ Yesterday, my makeup buddy e-mailed me telling me that is comparable to MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. After reading that e-mail, I had to buy this since I knew it was on sale at Walgreens. Without even thinking, I head over there to buy one... lol~ They had a last chance sale on these for $7.19 (originally $11.99). After I bought one, I e-mailed my makeup buddy and she bought one as well. :)
Here's a picture of it opened so you can see better of the inside.
Of course I had to swatch it or else I will get a comment from Spank asking for swatches (the other ones will come soon). :P She only teases me because she loves me... lol~ :P
Hopefully, you can see it! :X
Edit: I end up returning the Prestige to buy the MAC MSF in Soft and Gentle during their 25% off friends & family deal.
