Picked up during the CVS clearance sale (along with a dollar off coupon, which made this babe 25 cents), NYC Color Wheel Mosaic Powder Blush is a multi-colored face color/blush.The NYC's brand slogan is "You are beautiful and smart, why paying more?", each of their products is supposed to be a cheap alternative for some high end cult favorite. For this Mosaic Face Color , it's not hard to tell they are knocking off Guerlain's pressed meteorite.Anyway, the bronze-brown-apricot creates a soft, nude peachy blush on the face (what I call a baby blush). The color is quite nice and doesn't look muddy if applied with the right fluffy blush but the texture is on the chalky side so that it requires a brush that applies very light and even wash of color.
Overall: Not bad for 25 cents. I will still use Nars though, because I have it...

ReplyDeleteNikki:
ReplyDeleteYou are not missing anything anyway, I mean it's a neat brand for the price but nothing terribly good that you have to get your hands on it.
Hell Notes for Beauty:
Let's hope you have gotten something nice!
Gio:
Yeah, you can't say no to 25-cent blush.
Joyce:
I guess it depends on areas, pink is always easier to work with that brownish peach though...
