NYC New York Color Lip Gloss

So Influenster also sent some NYC Nude York City lip gloss in my holiday voxbox.  I was skeptical that I’d like it because I remember when I used to have NYC (http://www.newyorkcolor.com) products when I was a teenager.  And it was because they were cheap.  All my friends used it too for the same reason.  […]
