First of all you might be wondering what is "The City of Bones™" that NYX did a collection around. It is is an highly anticipated movie that is coming out this August 2013, based on a Series of Books. Basically in this book "City of Bones™" which the movie is based on, the character Clary Fray's mother is attacked and taken from their home in New York City by a demon. Clary, a seemingly ordinary teenage girl, finds out truths about her past and her bloodline on her quest to get her mother back! This ultimately changes her entire life. I would encourage you to watch the Movie Trailer. It looks pretty intense, just like the Collection! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1538403/

Now on to the Makeup Collection:
I could not control myself from buying this collection! Not only from the sheer fact that it is based on a World Wide Best Selling Book, but from the how cool the packaging was. In fact, it has just came into Ulta that day and there were no signs or display up yet. I just was browsing the NYX section as I usually do and and saw it sitting there on an end cap. I was like what is this beautiful creature??!!
Now here is the Skinny on what is in it:
1. Look Book
 |
| There is a Detailed Day & Night Look Book |
2. Smokey Shadow Palette
 |
| Smokey Palette |
 |
| Colors Swatched in Order in Palette Note: The Brown Tone (2nd From Right) is More Brown in Person. I am just Tan! |
 |
| Colors Smoked out on My Arm! Blend Well but stay Put! |
3. Soft Matte Lip Cream
 |
| Lip Cream in Instanbul! |
 |
| The Lip Cream is Definitely Matte! Its a Nice change from a Lip Gloss. It is like Lip Gloss Meets Matte Lipstick! Very Pigmented (True to Color) Love..:) |
4, Boudoir Mascara
 |
| Le Frou Frou Mascara is for Volume and Length |
 |
| Nice Brush Wand Head and the formula seems Non-Clumping! |
5. Powder Blush
 |
| NYX in Pinched! They Make the Best Blushes! |
 |
| The Color Pinched is the Most Beautiful All Year Round Pink! |
6. Studio Liquid Liner
 |
| The Color is Extreme Black |
 |
| It has a Nice thin Brush for Precision! The Formula Dries Fast so be Prepared to Work Fast or Use Cotton Q-Tips Soaked in Eye Makeup Remover for Touch Ups! |
7. Jumbo Eye Pencil
 |
| The Color is Cashmere! Its the Best! |
 |
| If you Love Cashmere, Light Golden Tones, Nudes. This IS for You! |
Final Thoughts:
I was immediately drawn to this Collection by the Packaging and than upon reading it, the Movie. It only got better when I got home and discovered that the Blush that it came with was my Most Favorite Blush by NYX and I had been wanting to get another one in case they stopped making it. Than I discovered that the Lip Cream that it came with, I had it another color "London" and loved it so much. I am pretty sure that I had "Istanbul" (that the collection came with) but never got around to trying it and gave to a friend. So how happy was I to get it back in a way! It was like "what goes around, comes back around"!! I also had been wanting to buy the Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cashmere and that was in there too! This Collection was Too Perfect! I am going to do a Day Face Look this week and Instagram it!
