Swatchfest: NYC Limited Edition Bronze Bliss Collection (pic heavy)

If you caught my review of the NYC limited edition Blushable Creme Stick in Gold Radiance, you know that I'm loving the Bronze Bliss collection (it might be my favorite LE collection from NYC to date!).

So today I'd like to show you several other products from this collection that I received from NYC--I hope that this helps to give you a better idea of these products so that you'll know if they're worth the hunt! As always, I cannot tell you exactly where you can find this LE collection, but I do know it's been popping up at Rite Aids for the past several weeks now, and I believe other drugstores as well. To see pics of the actual display, click here.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a review. I am showing you swatches for color but I'm not evaluating these products at this time. Since the summer LE collections come and go so quickly at the drugstores, I hope you'll forgive me for skipping the formal reviews--I wanted to get these swatches up as quickly as possible.

ALL PRODUCTS IN THIS POST WERE SWATCHED ON BARE SKIN WITH NO PRIMER

 Limited Edition Sparkle Eye Dusts

As you can see, even though it looks like a rich chocolate brown in the package, Topaz Shimmer turns to a charcoal brown with fine bronze sparkle when it's swatched on the skin. This one could definitely benefit from a primer or I'd even suggested foiling for maximum color payoff if you don't want a sheer look.

 Limited Edition Color Wheels

 Bronze Bliss

Perfect for those with deeper skintones, Bronze Bliss would be absolutely stunning if you are NC35 or higher. It might be a little too bold if you're in the NC20s or below (unless you use a very light touch--this one's super pigmented).

 Pearl Glow

The minute I swatches Pearl Glow I immediately thought: REDHEADS! This is a very subtle bronzer/highlighter that will add more of a "glow" than a dramatic pop of pigment to the skin. I think it would be absolutely stunning on redheads and those with very fair skin who can normally not wear most bronzers.

 Golden Touch

If you're in the NC20-25 category and you don't know which of the three to get, this would probably be your best bet. It's gorgeous without being over-the-top and I find that I can even be a little heavy-handed and not look like a clown wearing Golden Touch. I'm an NC20 and this is my favorite shade on me.

Limited Edition Smooch Proof 16H Lipstains

You all know how much I adore NYC lipstains, and these two shades are no exception! Coral Reef is a beautiful coral-berry-mauve and Tropic Tan is a lovely neutral bubblegum pink. Both deliver such a pretty wash of color to the lips.

 Limited Edition Blushable Creme Stick in Bronze Radiance

If the other Blushable Creme Stick in this collection had too much glitter in it for you, you're probably going to ADORE this one. Bronze Radiance is the perfect name for this shade--it's got a beautiful radiant glow to it and no sparkle at all (just shimmer).  Since it's so very pigmented, you can control the intensity depending on how much blending you do:

Enlarge the above pic to see how this one looks blended out on the back of my hand. It's so darned pretty in person I just kept staring at my hand after I swatched this. For me, this is a must-have.

I hope this post helps give you a better idea of what the Bronze Bliss collection has to offer! Have you spotted this display in your area yet? If so, have you made any purchases?
