Duo eye liner stick by NYC

My latest trip to the local Duane Reade was in search of my favorite eyebrow pencil made by Jordana.  I usually purchase it from Walgreens which I know for a fact sells this brand however I'm assuming that they share the same products.  So I walked straight to the make up aisle taking a glimpse of the O.P.I and ESSIE collection that happen to be so few it look like they were giving it away. I started checking brands that I could see carried Eyebrow pencils.  I Came across some that were way to expensive.  $12. 00 & up.  I am use to buying a color of which I love for .99 cents, so anything over that by $3.00  is too much for me.  I came across the brand NYC.  They had brow pencils some of which look similar to my Jordana pencil color.  So I picked up 2 of the possibles and A new Duo eyeliner that carried several variations.  I first wanted the white tip with black on the other end but was worried of the quality of the pencil being it was only 1.99 each.  How ever I purchased a black and copper duo. When I arrived home I immediately went to try this pencil on while my eye makeup was still intact.  I was very please of how easily the pencil glided onto my lower eyelid.  It gave my eyes this subtle pop of amazement.  I give this product 4 STARS.  I will be going back for the white, blue, turquoise, and the pink.


Below you can see what the stick looks like. MUST TRY!!

I found these in N.C.

One of my favorite

I have been going nuts with these 10 dollar manicures in a box.  I find them to be worth the money.  To get the longest possible use, just like all other polish use a good top coat. Not the .99 cents stuff.  Best O.P.I or ESSIE, Sally Hansen, or even a gel top coat and go under the UV.  They also have a UV gel minus the UV lamp so that should be better for those who do not own their own lamp.  My friend at work also told me that she gets 2 applications out of one pack because she keeps her nails short so I will be doing that from now on.  So go crazy with it and try the most colorful ones.  You wont be sorry.   I give them a 4
