Essie :: Lights!

Today's NOTD is from last year's neon collection by Essie: Lights!!!

Lights is a neon blue-toned pink. Like most neons, it's a jelly with a mostly-matte finish! Since, I'm not the biggest fan of matte polishes, I like to add a topcoat to make it extra shiny and to seal in the color.

I love neon nail polish, especially in the summer, because it really packs a punch and makes me look extra tan!

I definitely recommend this color, and that you check out this year's Essie Neons collection! These retail for about $8 and can be found at Ulta and most drugstores!!

Maybelline Color Tattoo :: Precious Pearl and Lavish Lavender

Hello there! Today's post is about two new Maybelline Color Tattoos for Spring and Summer: Precious Pearl and Lavish Lavender!!!

Precious Pearl is an eggshell ivory color with a lavender-pink duochrome to it! This color is so pretty on  and brings a lot of light to the eyes! It's perfect for a light wash all over the lid or as a highlight! It's a little sheerer than some of the others I have but it still rather pigmented and beautiful.

Lavish Lavender is darker than what I would consider lavender, but still a very beautiful violet purple. I don't get as much wear out of this as I do my neutral colors, but that is to be expected haha! It's rather pigmented but can sheer out fairly easily.

I love the color tattoos because they are creamy, pigmented, easy to apply, and last a long time! They are the best for the price and pretty much the only cream eyeshadows I bother buying (why buy the same exact thing at a higher price?)! They retail for around $5-8 depending on where you find them and I promise they are worth a look-see (go check out the permanent range too!).

MAC All About Orange Blushes!!

Hello there! First, I'd like to apologize for the lack of posts the last month or so, life has been hectic, and even being on summer vacation I've been extremely busy! So I'm sorry but I have a lot of posts coming up so get excited!!

Today's post is about some of the blushes from the new All About Orange Collection from MAC. Instantly, the blush Royal Sunset caught my eye and it was love at first sight. Blush is probably one of my favorite makeup products to buy (it can really change a whole look but be subtle at the same time!). And when looking at the others I saw Immortal Flower, a color I purchased last year from the Très Cheek collection, so I thought I'd go ahead and share that with you as well.

Royal Sunset is a bright peachy-pink that is very soft and very pigmented. Not much product is needed to brighten the face with a pop of pink that is perfect for the summertime with a sunkissed glow!

Immortal Flower is a peachy-orange. Once on the skin, it leans a little pink-color, while still remaining its creamsicle color. I love this blush and how flattering it is! This again is super brightening and adds a nice pop to a tan!

I love these blushes so much and definitely recommend picking one of them up if you can still get your hands on them! My little secret to purchasing limited addition MAC products? Nordstrom.com! I've purchased a few products from their site and they seem to sell out much slower than they do in-store! These retail for $21!

Maybelline Color Whisper :: Cherry On Top

I'm back with another one of the Maybelline Color Whispers!!! I reviewed two of them a few months back, in Coral Ambition and Pin Up Peach. I absolutely loved the other two colors but I wanted a color that would pack a bigger punch! This color is the cherry on the cake (pun totally intended) for my spring/summer lip obsession!!!

Cherry On Top is a bright, red-toned pink (very hot-pinkish, but not barbie at all!). Since these are sheer, they are not overpowering and never look like you are wearing too much (or look too overdone) yet they still add a great pop of color to the face!

With a little bit of a tan and a bronze eye, this lip color is to-die-for. It will also be perfect for those no-makeup, big sunglasses days!!!

These are available at any drugstore or anywhere else Maybelline products are sold. They run for anywhere from $5.00 to $8.00 depending on where you find them. I love the three I have and definitely recommend them to anyone who will listen!!! These are all my go-to lip products this summer!!!
