Essie: Wicked.

ULTA HAUL

I walked into Ulta the other day just thinking that I was going to swatch the new Lorac summer palette and I walked out with the palette…and a few other things.

Spring was in the air. There were so many new products that were bright and right on for the season. Let's get into it. 

 Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow: 03 frosted apple

This pinky rose-gold color is perfect. There is gold shimmer throughout and when applied to the eye it gives such a beautiful sparkle that makes your eyes pop. For $2.99 I couldn't resist. 

Zoya Nail Polish: Monet

I was already stocked up and waiting in line to checkout when I saw a display of Zoya polishes. This color immediately caught my eye. The way this color shines in the sunlight is absolutely stunning. I have tried this polish on top of pink, nude, and mint colors and it looks great on each. 

Nails Inc Polish: Regents Place

I've been on the lookout for a periwinkle color so when I saw it I knew this would be mine. The formulation of this polish is very think but covers well and lasted about four days on me before starting to chip.

Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick: Melted Coral

I have been so interested in these lip colors since they have been released but never saw one in person. When I saw this color and swatched it on my hand I knew it was love and I scooped one up. This formula lasts all day on the lips with a subtle sheen. These colors are not drying at all. 

And finally, the reason I made the trip to Ulta that day. 

Lorac AfterGLO palette for summer 2014

These shadows are right on point for spring/summer and the formulation is not bad either. Now these are not the best shadows I've ever used, and they are a far cry from the pro palette quality, but overall I think they are worth a shot. I've created a few different looks so far with this and I am very happy.

I definitely think $24.00 is a great price for this palette.

Have you tried any of these products?

Foil Effects Kit 

Not sure how I feel about this? Thoughts? I found this kit at Rite Aid for $7.99 and I thought it was worth a shot. We'll see.

Oh, and I just found out Sephora is changing their nail polish line? I hope it's good because these polishes are awesome.

Revlon 3d Nail Appliqué in Hyper Floral.

NOTD: 6/8/2013

I saw this color at a local beauty supply store in my area called Beautyland. As you know, I bought the whole creme collection from the China Glaze Sunsational Summer 2013 Collection. I didn't think I was interested in any of the jelly colors but I saw this and my jaw dropped. I can't even capture the neon intensity of this color. You Drive Me Coconuts is a shockingly bright pink polish. Although for being part of the jelly side of the collection, this color is very pigmented. It is beautiful  and looks great on my self tanned hands. The other colors didn't really speak to me but if you have any of the jellies from this collection please let me know how you like them. I may not even know that I need more! :) xoxo

Today's Purchases

Here are a few things I picked up today while out and about. 

Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee $22 at Sephora. 

These are great! I've heard good things about these blushes so I wanted to try them out especially now in the summer time. These are very sheer but they build up to a nice flush on the cheeks all while still allowing your skin to shine through. These are very natural but I think they are perfect for the summer when you don't want anything to heavy on your face. They melt into your skin and feel great on. I bought the shades Coral Oasis and Poppy Paradise. I am really happy with these blushes. 

Essie Summer Nail Colors in The More the Merrier & Sunday Funday. $8 at BB&B

These are two fun colors for the summer. They are both from the Summer 2013 Naughty Nautical Collection. The More the Merrier is a creamy lime green and Sunday Funday is a mid tone pinky coral with silver shimmer. I love both of these colors and will be wearing them all summer. 

Anything else I should try for the summer? Please let me know. Xoxo

Sinful Colors Sinful Shine with Gel Tech color in Alfresco. Stunning. This will look even better with a tan.

This is only my second time doing ombré nails but I just love them. I used the triangle makeup sponge method. There's a bunch of youtube videos if you don't know what I'm talking about. I used three of the colors from the new China Glaze Sunsational Creme Collection. Love it! Xoxo

Salon Perfect

I was walking around Wal-mart today and saw these beautiful Salon Perfect nail polishes. They are new for spring I believe. I just had to pick up a couple. The ones I bought are Flamingo Flair and Tickled Pink. They are both cream polishes. I have never tried Salon Perfect polishes so I am excited to see how they perform. Xoxo

Walgreens Haul!

So I decided to stop by Walgreens on my way to work today. I wasn't really looking for anything but I thought I'd just look. I came out with some new fun goodies. First up I found the new Essie polish in the cab-ana. It is a gorge turquoisey really creme color. Absolutely beautiful. Next I saw the limited edition L'oreal Versailles Romance collection. Now I have already bought the polish in macaroon me madly but I've heard a bunch of people talking about pistachio dream so when I saw it standby there lonely pouting at me, I had to take it home. Lastly I found the limited edition Wet n' Wild Coloricon Eyeshadow Medley Sets. When I saw these on Nouveaucheap I wasn't too excited to grab them but hey, they're we're also pouting at me so in my cart they went. I haven't played with anything yet but I will be back to review these pretty products soon. Xoxo
