Affordable Glam: M2U NYC Makeup Quality Without the High Cost
Let’s be honest, I don’t wear makeup daily. However, I have a deep love of makeup in general. I like how it makes me feel. I love how it blends away slight imperfections. The way it can make my eyes pop is so fun. Adding in different colors and tones to match your outfit or your vibe is just the best. Today, I am bringing you the affordable glam you’ve been looking for!

I am not going to lie to you, I do like some high-end brands and splurge on them when I can—the important word there is splurge. There is no way I could buy them regularly. Which is why I am always on the lookout for affordable alternatives. Which is why I was all for trying out M2U NYC when they approached me to try out a few of their products. I received my first package back in July. And while Lily and I tried the products and even took photos, it doesn’t seem I actually posted (maybe a quick story?). I will blame summertime. So here we are today, with all the Fall cozy vibes, showcasing some affordable glam that you are going to want to grab products from.
Affordable Glam: M2U NYC Makeup Quality Without the High Cost
I bet you’ve never heard of M2U NYC, right? I know I hadn’t until they reached out to me earlier this year. So let me tell you a bit about them first to get us started on this little story.
M2U NYC was launched in March 2020 as a certified vegan and cruelty-free makeup brand. It is also paraben, BPA, and gluten free. Not only all that, but their makeup is also filled with good-for-your-skin ingredients. Those include vitamin E, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, argan oil, and jojoba seed oil. Makeup shouldn’t feel harsh on your skin. M2U NYC makes sure it isn’t – you can feel beautiful and well cared for.
Summer Package
The first package we received this past summer included: Lady Liberty eyeshadow palette, eye primer, and tubing mascara in black.
Lady Liberty eyeshadow palette – six colors to match any mood. Vanilla, Ice Cream Cone, Confetti, Waffle, Cherry, and Liberty. Probably not my most favorite color combos, mainly because of the liberty, not a color I would personally use. Lily and I still had fun using the rest of the colors—I think I even put a bit of liberty on her for fun. The shadows themselves are really well built and glide on with ease. I love how compact their palettes are.
Eye Primer – make sure that eyeshadow stays with a good primer. This goes on nicely and smoothly and seems to grip the eyeshadow fairly well. Gripping power = check. Staying power = medium check. No creasing = triple check! Affordable price = quadruple check.
Black Tubing Mascara – I had no smudging, flaking, or clumping. It glides on great. I did find the volume wasn’t 100% to my liking, but that could be user error on not building it up enough with layers. Overall, a great, solid mascara that I will keep using.
Fall Package
The second package we received just last month included: Uptown Downtown eyeshadow palette, liquid eyeliner, and glossy lips.
Uptown Downtown eyeshadow palette – six colors that fit my fancy. These warm naturals are much more suited to my skin tone and eye color. Included in this palette are: latte, espresso, caramel, pumpkin spice, taxi, and milk. These color combos have been so much fun to play with, and I can’t wait to see what else I can create. Nice natural look that only gives a hint of color and pop—just what I like.
Liquid Eyeliner – I am not a massive fan of liquid eyeliner in general. But this glides on with ease; I don’t have any flaking or issues while using it. Easy to draw your eyeliner line with the tip of the brush.
Glossy Lips – probably one of my favorites. This had great color, went on with ease, and stayed on fairly well. I love how it didn’t make my lips feel dry. I did use lip balm before applying, as I usually do—which may have helped. It also notes that you can use a regular lip color and have been more wow look by adding this gloss on top. Especially if you are grabbing the clear, I would use it—but I received the love (a nice red).
