Makeup Minute Freebie: New York Color

Filed under Giveaways, makeup
These days, even those of us who LOVE to splurge (who, me?) are in a more recession-friendly state of mind. That said, there are just a few brands that I can think of that deliver prestige-level quality at a wallet-friendly price - and one is N.Y.C., also known as New York Color.
From eye shadow to blush or lipstick, this brand has got you covered. My personal favorite from the collection is the Browser Brush-on Brow Powder with Grooming Wax and Tweezers - at just $3.99 SRP, it has everything you need for perfect brows on the go. Love it!
But it’s not all about me here, ladies. It’s about YOU and you’re in for a treat. Makeup Minute has partnered with N.Y.C. to bring you an exclusive giveaway!
250 (NOT A TYPO! 250 of you!) will win 2 coupons worth $5 each for N.Y.C. New York Color Products good at participating retail stores. Winners will be chosen at random from the entries received.
Simply sign up via this link from now through 6/5 to enter. Good luck!
What products will you be shopping for with your two free coupons?

If you’re an obsessive lover of beauty products as I am, let me introduce you to BeautyFix ($49.95 quarterly.)
This clever beauty sampling program lets you indulge in full and deluxe travel size high end beauty goodies, from brands that you may already know (like Jonathan) and brands that may be new to you (maybe Lisa Hoffman or 3Lab.)

I truly fell in love with a couple of products from the first edition and the second BeautyFix is even better. So far, I’m loving the Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Mask, a cool exfoliating gel that smells of Granny Smith apples and the smooth Global Goddess eye shadow, which I received in a gorgeous gold (shades vary.)
You can sign up for your very own membership an get more information about the brands included over at www.beautyfix.com OR if you’re feeling lucky, you can enter to win a kit of your very own- I have 15 for lucky Makeup Minute readers! Simply leave a comment below and you’ll be entered to win!
