    That’s actually really very pretty. I can’t remember the last item I bought from NYC but I think this might be my next one! 😛

    Haha if I were a bit younger I’d TOTALLY grab this! I still love my purples, but I don’t wear them as often anymore 😉

      I like some of the items. The price is great if you’re starting out and don’t want to spend a ton on makeup. Their cream blushes are supposed to be good, too!

      I’m having a purple moment right now and can’t seem to get enough of these palettes!

      Have you tried NYC before? Some of it’s hit or miss, but I do love how affordable the line is!

        Not eyeshadows but remember the blushable creme sticks? I love those and have backups. 🙂

      Hi Tina,

      When I want to go for a more wearable look, I like doing warm caramels, coppers and browns. I find it tones down the purple a little bit. Burberry makes a color called Lip Mist in Copper No. 02 that’s really pretty with purples and plums:

      https://www.makeupandbeautyblog.com/mac-makeup/an-everyday-plum-beige-and-peach-fall-makeup-look-for-work-school-or-walks-with-your-cat/

      For a more dramatic look, plums and fuchsias and great! You could either do a full-on opaque lip, which is very “fall,” or pat your lipstick onto your lips to create more of a stain.

    I love these colors! Too bad that this brand makes my eyes look so puffy that it looks like I spent all night crying….
