Glow: The IndividualEyes Compacts are definitely my favorites. I was pleasantly surprised at how pigmented the shadows are. They go on smooth and are really easy to blend. I have to be honest, I had a few reservations when I first saw the color of the blush because I have darker skin and the the color is a pale shimmery pink. It actually goes on more sheer sorta like a bronzer which gave my skin a nice glowy effect. I also really love the nail colors. The formula is really rich and I only had to apply 1 coat of each polish, my favorite is Backstage Brown, it's more so of a gold and it's a very pretty shade for the fall.

Glare: The only thing I could do without in this collection is the Lippin Large Lip Plumper. Although I do like the color the gloss feels a bit tingly which is supposed to happen because it's a "plumper" that is designed to enhance your lips. But, being that my lips are already quite full ;o) I just don't see this as a must have for me.

Would I Recommend It? Yes! This is actually my first time trying NYC products and I must say that I am impressed with the pigments and overall quality. The brand is super affordable as well! I definitely see myself trying more from them in the future.
