NYC! NEW YORK COLOR!

Might I just say I am impressed by yet another item from my VoxBox! I really cannot get over the fact that anyone can get these products for free and try them out. That just makes me so happy to know! Hahah. Anyways, I got a lip gloss and let me just tell you I was blown away by this gloss. It's the NYC Liquid Lip Shine in "Nude York City."

I have tried some of the lipsticks before that were AMAZING but I must say that I was a little skeptical with glosses. They were priced very inexpensively and I remember thinking wow, I have a hard time with glosses and I don't think this is going to be an exception. Boy was I wrong!

Not only is is smooth but it is sooo pigmented.

Straight from the city that never sleeps, NYC New York Color offers products with uptown style at down-to-earth prices, from $.99 - $4.99. The energy, style and color of New York City shines through the wide range of shades, textures and innovative products. NYC always delivers the most on-trend products & shades hot off the runway!

A beauty-editor favorite is Liquid Lipshine ($2.49). It has pure pigments that created a 3-D gloss effect. Vitamin E provides shine and a moisturizing feel. The formula is non-sticky, super shiny & soft. Available in 10 on-trend shades from neutral nudes, to berries & fuchsias. Start shopping for NYC at these stores nearest you: Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, CVS, Family Dollar, Duane Reade, Kmart, HEB, and others. Visit newyorkcolor.com to check out all shades and fun products from New York Color!


Let me know what you think.

Not with these. Broadway nails has REALLY mastered how nails should be. WOW!. You have to check them out! I got the red ones. I am just a little blown away right now.

Opening Up

I've opened up with you guys many times before but not to the extent that I am going to tonight....or this morning. Haha.

The past two weeks have been a crazy roller coaster for me. I have gone through ups and downs to back up to back down to back up again. I know that this high place I am at now in life will eventually drop down to a low again and I am so scared for that to happen. Usually when I am low I get very depressed and just feel like doing absolutely nothing. Which brings me to another question.

"Is happiness a feeling or a choice?"

I have debated with many of my friends and even my family members over the years that I TRULY believe that you can choose to be happy or choose to be sad, upset, mad, etc. I feel this way because when I am going through struggles in my life and all of a sudden something really good happens to me I am happy again. It's amazing how one single situation can change a perspective for better or for worse.

I think the one thing that I need to work on is to find that happiness that I have had sooo many times before and channel it. I know too that a lot of the trials that have came into my life were at the times my walk with God had become almost non-existent.

Now, I am not going to sit here and preach about how you need to convert and the whole schpeel, but I do ask that you respect my beliefs and do not look down on me or judge me. I know everyone has different views, thoughts, religions, theories, and morals but I ask that you will respect mine just as I will respect yours.

Anyways, the time that I am unhappy the most is when I walk away from my God, put other worldly things in front of our relationship, and basically just say, "I can do this on my own." I then realize that I am walking away from someone that is soo powerful and has changed my life. It's when I go back and find that happiness that things start to look up for me.

I wish I could pour out my whole heart to you guys right now, but I know that I am not ready to do that, and I think if I did you would be reading for ages. What I want to know is where does your happiness come from and do you believe it's a feeling or a choice.

Until next time.

XOXO, CiCi <3
