Product Review: NYC Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat

I've tried plenty of Matte Finish Nail polishes, and a few top coats but this one is by far my favorite.  I bought this bottle at Wal-Mart for $1.72, and It was so totally worth it!!  I used to use the Hard Candy Mattely in Love Top coat, and it worked good, but it was $4.  I just don't feel that it's $4 good.  I saw this and I figured it was cheap enough to try it and not feel bad if it sucked.  So I tried this for the first time today and I LOVED IT... it dries SO FAST.  Like ridiculously fast.  I'm definitive picking up another one when I finish this one.  The matte finish doesn't last forever, but I think that pretty much happens with all matte coats, but it lasts long enough for it to be worth it.  I usually just throw on another coat to mattify it again and that works perfectly fine!  you cand find this baby at Wal-Mart, Target, or wherever NYC products are sold.  I highly recommend it if you're looking for a matte top coat.    

Now that it's January 2013 a lot of new makeup products are appearing everywhere.  I'm mostly excited for all the drugstore products that I've been seeing.  It seems like the quality of drugstore makeup has improved so much in the last couple of years.  I've also seen a lot more dupes!  Here are a few items i'm lusting over and hoping to purchase within the next few months.

L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain.

I've read online that these are supposed to be dupes for the YSL Glossy Stains, which retail for $32.  These retail anywhere from $7-$10, depending where you buy them. I want to get Stubborn Plum, Lilac Ever After, Infinite Fuchsia, Eternally Nude, Endless Red, & Berry Persistent   I'll swatch and post pictures whenever I find these!

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids

I saw these at Wal-Mart a couple of days ago and I regret not buying Brazen Berry (pictured above) SO BAD.  It's the most beautiful shade of purple ever.  It's not as dark as the picture shows, closer to lilac, I think.  I saw some swatches online and all the other colors are just as beautiful.  I want to get Brazen Berry, Fuchsia Flash, & Hot Plum.

Maybelline Color Whisper

Maybelline has GREAT lipsticks, so i'm excited to try these out!  I heard these are similar to Revlon's Lip Butters, but more hydrating.  I have not seen this in stores near me yet, but when I do will be looking for Berry Ready (pictured above), Mad for Magenta, and A Plum Prospect.  

This is it for now!  I'm surprised they were only lip products.  If I find any other makeup items I'm lusting over I will be sure to post them in a new entry!
