NYC New York Color Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss AND Big Bold Curl Mascara Review

Hello Everyone!

I want to write this quick post on the NYC Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss and also on the Big Bold Curl Mascara that I received in my Influenster Maple VoxBox for free! I just want to share my opinion of these two specific products and hopefully help you get an idea on how these products work!


NYC Big Bold Plumping & Shine Lip Gloss in Big City Blush


I am really loving this lip gloss! I have been using this so much since I have received it because it is a perfect everyday gloss! I love that this gloss is not sticky and lasts a couple hours. I bring this everywhere I go and so I can touch up throughout the day. I don't feel that this gloss gives my lips any plumping affect but it is still works great! I have been at the drugstore recently and I am going to pick up a few more shades because of how wonderful it is. 

PROS: colour payoff, packaging, applicator, formula, non-sticky, variety of shades, and inexpensive

CONS: barely no plumping affect (everyone is different and may work differently on your lips)


NYC Big Bold Curl Mascara in Extreme Black


I think this might be my favourite NYC product so far! This mascara lengthens my lashes so much and gives them an awesome curl! It kind of makes my lashes look fake in away which I love. I also love you can build this mascara quite a bit to have a bold look but also you can use less and achieve a perfect everyday look. My lashes are a little long to start with and this mascara really makes them look amazing. I am really impressed by how well this mascara works and what is more great is that it is affordable! If you are reading this I highly suggest that you give this a try if you are a fan of mascaras in general! (note: everyone has different types of lashes and you may achieve a different outcome, this goes for any mascara you are trying out) but honestly it is worth a try!

PROS: lengthening, curling affect, packaging, colour

CONS: little bit of smudging throughout the day ( NYC should perhaps look into a waterproof version if they haven't already), not to much volume in the lashes when applied


Overall, I am really satisfied with the two products mentioned in this blog post. I have a picture on instagram of me using these two products!

The first product I pulled out was NYC Curl and Volume Mascara! Excited to try this product out!

Next product is NYC Big Bold Plumping Lipgloss in Big City Blush! Pretty colour and I am excited about this product also!

I think this one might be my favourite item in the box because I am a huge fan of nail products. This is Broadway ImPRESS Press-On Manicure in Payback!

This is Ice Breakers Duo in raspberry! Yummy!

Nail Art Water Decals: Butterfly

Hey! I have another quick post for today on my nails of the week. This week I decided to paint my nails a pale bluish purple grey color (I used Revlon Top Speed in Cloud). I added butterfly water decals on top on the nail color (you can find these on eBay). I also added a glitter on top of the decals (NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel in Starry Silver Glitter).

This was really easy to do. Love these decals!!!!
