NYC New York Color Cosmetics: In the Spotlight Fall Collection

Welcome Autumn with NYC New York Color's In the Spotlight collection!

NYC New York Color has another limited edition this Fall with some amazing colors for the crisp Autumn air. Their Smooch 'n Proof Lipstain (which is said to last 16 hours) and their three new nail polishes are probably my favorite. The lipstains remind me of pointy felt-tip markers- the way you apply on your lips for a berry stain. It's also pointy enough for a precise lipline as well. The three new nailpolish colors are also quite amazing and on trend for Fall- a bit metallicy in three beautiful rich colors- a deep magenta, a gorgeous golden hue and a pretty silver.

Review: Tracy Reese Collection for Sally Hansen - Fall 2010

Spotted from the NY Fashion Week earlier this month, models wore neutral greige (gray + beige) nails. My two favorite from the Tracey Reese collection with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes are Wet Clay & Fedora. (2nd & 3rd from the left)

How do they look? The Wet Clay is definitely nude, neutral, barely there, you get the idea! It's nice though because it will give your nails the sheen so it's simply polished. Fedora is more taupe-ish brown with gorgeous little gold flecks that shimmer in the light. No Joke!

Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicture polishes go on so smooth and I absolutely love the brush. I have particularly small nails so the brushes are wide enough for me to use two simple strokes and I'm done! Easy, smooth, gorgeous colours are the result! If I want a barely there color, one coat is enough but I usually put on two coats to get the impact I want. I really wish ALL polishes had this brush width- it's so perfect for me! With one coat of Wet Clay, it lasted me an entire week without much damage. By the end of the week, it started to fade towards the tips but it's like that with most polishes. I am very impressed by the durability and it's EASE!

If you're looking for great one-step polishes, check out the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure at your local drugstore. Don't forget to check out this collection as well!

Zoya - Wicked and Wonderful Collections Fall Nail Polishes

After participating in this year's Zoya nailpolish Exchange, I have fallen in love with ZOYA. They offer a variety of colors and finishes and the best part is that their formula does not contain toluene, camphor, formaldehyde, and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). Since I have learned about Zoya, I enjoy looking at their new collections. :)

This is Zoya's Wicked collection- a gorgeous set of glittery, metallic shades to wear for the Fall. They come in shades of red, a purple and a green!

This is the Zoya Wonderful Collection. Though not glittery at all- this collection offers rich, creamy colors. My favorite is the Kelly shade- the gray shade that has hints of purple and blue undertones.

L'Oreal Paris- Color of Hope collection

L'Oreal Paris' Color of Hope was created to bring awareness to ovarian cancer and help raise money for the cause. They offer a Cosmetics Collection, in which L'Oreal will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. If you purchase the cosmetics bag with two lip products and two eyeshadow palettes, they will donate ~$5!

Get the details..


When I saw this collection at my local drugstore, the new gorgeous Fall colors immediately caught my attention. In my head, I shrieked Plum nails! I purchase "Color of Hope", "Imperial Plum" and "Delicate Dusk." All three range from a light plum, darker plum to insanely dark plum. :) After checking out their website and learning more about the cause, I really admire L'Oreal for doing this.

Check out this collection at your nearby drugstore/retailer.



Review on Color of Hope colour- Absolutely gorgeous! It is the perfect purple shade, that's almost a bit brownish/purple. You definitely want to wear two coats of this, b/c one coat is too sheer and you will just see your nailbed. I'm not sure if it's the heat (I apply this near my window for better ventilation) but I feel like the nail polish dries up pretty quickly before I even have a chance to use the same brush to apply on the other side of the nail...like a bit gloopy? You have to be quick and make sure you have the RIGHT amount of polish on the brush for each nail. It's a bit tricky.. but the payoff is worth it!
