NYC Lash Precise Defining Mascara: Update






I can't believe how much eyeshadow I used for this look and it looks like nothing at all. I had so much black around my eye for this cat eye look that I had to take it off before I went to run some errands. I used the naked palette mostly, buck, naked, creep and sin as a highlight. I love this palette. The liner is Bobbi Brown gel liner in black, set with creep, NYC lash precise defining mascara in black. On my lips creampuff by bare essentials or escentuals with milani HD advanced lip color in Classy Nude on top!

I have used this mascara for 2 weeks or more. I still like it. I doesn't flake or smear. It doesn't make my lashes hard. I like it and will probably repurchase. You just can't go wrong for 2 bucks! That being said, I don't have complaints about my natural lashes. They are reasonably long and have a good curl, so my mascara doesn't have to be anything special.

Milani Crystal Eyez,Milani HD Advanced Lip color & Nyc Defining Mascara

I wanted to try a glittery look for New Years Eve so I headed out to the drug store. I picked up Milani Crystal Eyez in the light blue color. There are maybe 6 shades. All very pretty, but I was looking for a blue or silver color. It is very, very glittery. My pictures do not do it justice. It comes out of the tube wet and will dry on your lids. It stayed on for a good 6hours and then will start to move around. I did not go out dancing or anything, so I don't know how it would hold up to a night on the town.


 I also needed some mascara. I really want to try MUFE smokey lash, but I can't afford that right now so I went really cheap. I think the Nyc defining mascara retails for $1.99. Really! a mascara for $2 bucks! It can't possibly be any good. Right?......Go get some two dollar mascara. My lashes are fairly long so I don't need any lengthening. I need them to be a bit fuller. I usually don't put mascara on my lower lashes because I don't. So what do you think? The mascara doesn't make the lashes stiff and it stays put. I really like this stuff. I will see how long it takes for it to dry out. That may be the trade off in price. We will see.

And lastly, I am always looking for that perfect lip color. Something I can put on without having to look in a mirror. I am still looking, BUT if you suffer from dry lips you must try the HD advanced lip color by Milani. It reminds me of the lipstick by YSL what's it called, you know the one that glides on and leaves your lips soooo moisturized. It retails for like $35. This lip color is just like that with less color payoff. I LOVE it. This lip combo is creampuff by Bare essentuals as a base and Milani HD lip color in #102 classy nude on top, Love!! I will try some of the other colors and tell you what I think. So overall it was a very productive trip. I think I spent around $25. That's less than the mascara would have been. Oh, this lip color retails for $7.99. 





I love this color combo and the HD lip color is very moisturizing!
