NewYorkColor: NYC Style Holiday Challenge

December's challenge: Holiday Makeup!

Believe or Not.. I've never worn a red lips for NYE.

I've totally have been missing out.

Here is my look for the New Years using NewYorkColor products!

I had to use NYC Ultra Moist Lipstick ($2.99 CAN) in Mahogany as a lipliner because it's such a deep rich plus and add Retro Red as a pop of colour in the middle. On the eyes I used Liquid Liner in Black ($3.99) and the Sun n Bronze Bronzing Powder ($5.99 CAN) Coney Island as a highlight.

Overall a nice clean look which translates well for any New Year's eve activity!

o.b.® PRO COMFORT® Regular tampons giveaway!

I'm interested in finding out about various different things but there are some stuff that you can find out through conversations with your friends and some stuff that you need the internet for (if you know what I mean). I was asked to try a pack of o.b.® PRO COMFORT® Regular tampons and share my honest options. When I find a brand and I like, I do not venture out. After many years, I decided to let's see what else is out there. Who knows, I might find a new favourite.

o.b.® PRO COMFORT® Regular tampons with Fluid-Lock® grooves for locked-in leak protection. The only one with SilkTouch™ cover for ultimate comfort and protection

I won't lie.. I was a little bit shocked when I first received the package. It was extremely small and it could fit in the palm of my hand. I swear I thought I received the wrong package. The biggest shocker was that there was no applicators. 

The Scoop:
The size!
I was able to put them in one of my mini makeup bag without any hassle.
Also when I traveled out of country they took up NO space.

Less Waste
Did you know without the applicator  o.b.® saves 58% of waste compared to some other brands?

Detailed instructions
Each pack comes with an very detailed sheet that gives you step-by-step instruction and FAQs.
If you're an applicator user then you will be happy to see this sheet.

Patience
I want to be 100% honest. I didn't get it the first few tries. Which is okay because I been dependant on an applicator for years but once I got it- it wasn't bad at all. Similar to any other tampon just pull the string once you're ready to dispose of it.

o.b.® PRO COMFORT® Regular are available in a 18 or 40 pack.

Have you tried o.b.® tampons before?

Well o.b.® is giving 50 Spiced Beauty readers the opportunity to get an 18-count box FREE!
Shipped right to your doorstep!
