Spotted: New collections from NYC

A huge thanks to two lovely readers for the following photos! Tara and Chele both spotted some new NYC collections at Rite Aid recently and were nice enough to share pics (I'm hearing from several of you that both of these displays have been in Rite Aid stores for about a week now, so if you want anything, be sure to stop by your local Rite Aid ASAP before everything's wiped out!).

First let's start with the Spring 2013 Limited Edition Let's Paint the Town Collection. Here are some pics from reader Chele:

NYC Spring 2013 Limited Edition Let's Paint the Town Collection

This collection contains two bronzers, four lip glosses, four nail colors, two Eye Dusts and two eyeshadow trios. I believe that everything in this display is limited edition, but I could be wrong and some of these products could be new additions to the core line.

Most exciting (to me anyway) is this Shimmer Blast Top Coat:

So pretty! I bet this would look stunning over a black polish...

And here is a closer look at the LE Kiss Glosses, thanks to reader Tara:

Tara writes:

Kiss Glosses ($2.99)

002 Dewy Rose - a soft light pink with a cream finish

003 Pink Flamingo - a soft yet vibrant coral with a cream finish (looks way more orange than it really is in my photos, sorry! so much better irl!)

001 Mint Medley - a lovely mint green with lots of tiny green sparkles throughout the finish *dying to know if it reads mint green on the lips*

004 Water Lily - a rosy nude/a nude-y rose, a very rosy blushy nude with a cream finish (pretty!!!)

Tara also shared info about the eye colors and bronzers in this collection:

Sparkle Eye Dusts in 2 shades ($2.99):

022 Golden Splash

020 Precious Pink

HD Color Trios ($2.99):

793 Water Colors (bone pearl shimmer with notable yellow undertones, matte teal with fine sparkles, coppery shimmer)

794 Crystal Springs (off-white/very light cream shade which has a hint of shimmer but is almost matte, candy pink with a hint of shimmer, peach-champagne shimmer)


Big Bold Bronzers:
610 ManhatTan
602 MetropoliTan

And here's some info from Tara about the other three nail colors in this collection:


12 Spring Tulip - very close to Orly Pixie Stix but is a tinge deeper and a wee bit brighter.  (Looks way more orange than it is in my pic, sorry!)

10 Raindrop - a light yet richly pigmented powder blue.  It is not a whitened blue.  It is somehow very light and soft yet also has a vividness to it.

I have dozens of powder blue polishes in my stash (50+ shades...  I know.  *cringe*) but I was amazed to find no dupe!  O.O  Raindrop is a totally different shade than Essie Bikini So Teeny and many shades darker than Essie Borrowed and Blue.  Raindrop's shade is kinda close to Essie Sweet Talker but Sweet Talker has an iridescence to it's finish.  The closest shade-wise was the new NYC Long Wearing polish in Skyline Blue but Skyline Blue has sparkles in it so...this one is unique so far!  *continues to dig through stash*  *is astounded and delighted that I bought a unique cream finish powder blue and not another dupe*

14 Apple Fizz - a very bright vivid yellow green.  I have yet to compare but I'm thinking it might be closest to Orly Green Apple, maybe OPI Who The Shrek Are You? (though it seems more bright and crisp than OPI WTSAY?).  *will continue to dig in stash after confirmation that Raindrop is unique in ye olde ridiculously vast stash*)

NYC Spring 2013 City Looks For Less Collection

NOTE: there are tear-pad coupons on this display for $1 off any NYC product with retail price of $1.99 or more! This would bring the cost down to $1 for everything in this collection!

I believe that all of the products in this display are repromotes of core items, with the exception of the nail colors, and lipsticks (but I could be wrong).

Here's a closer look at the polishes and lipsticks:

There's a gray, pink and taupe polish in this display. And here are the lipsticks:

Have you spotted/purchased any of these new goodies from NYC yet? Thoughts?

Thanks SO much, Chele and Tara, for the great sightings, info and pics. I really appreciate it!
