Nude Nails for Spring

Hey everyone! So I know Spring is all about the pastels, but I say that it's about the nude colors too! Lately I've been super into these nude colors on my nails. I thought I'd share some of my faves with you (in order of the picture):

1. Maybelline Color Show: Born With It
2. The Face Shop nailpolish (doesn't have a name!)
3. NYC: Prospect Park Bloom
4. Milani: Angel Pink
5. Kardashian Khroma Beauty: Dahlia

Right now I'm wearing the NYC color.  Look how pretty:
It's very similar to the Maybelline Color show one, but I'm definitely in love.  Such a pretty and feminine color that looks great on everyone! So tell me, what are your favorite nail colors for Spring??

Thanks for reading,

New NYX Lip Swatches

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been inactive yet AGAIN! It's the end of the semester and you know how that goes.  Anyway, so recently my CVS has started stocking NYX products! I have been waiting for a while now and then sort of forgot about it, then all of a sudden, there it was!! So last night I decided to pick up a few new lip products :)

This first one is the Butter Gloss in Merengue.  Such a pretty light pink color and it's of course great for Spring.  I love these butter glosses because they're so rich and creamy. I just love NYX, especially their lip colors!!

The second one is the NYX lipstick in Snow White.  This color is definitely very pigmented, so be careful when you're applying! You can even tell on the left side that I was having problems! Besides that, the color is beautiful and you can build it up to make a darker and more dramatic look :)

Well there ya have it! Check your local CVS, you might be getting NYX soon! Maybe it'll be unexpected like what happened to me.  Of course, you can always stop by your Ulta or NYX.com. What NYX lip colors do you love??

Thanks for reading,

Sunglass Trends S/S14

Hey kids! So today I thought I'd share some new sunglasses I bought this season.  We all know the exciting new shape that's in this year: round cat-eyes.  I was going crazy looking for sunglasses like these and I finally got my hands on them (surprisingly, they didn't have any at H&M or Forever 21). The top pair I found on South Street in Philly (there are a lot of accessories stores there, and I literally don't remember which one it was), and the bottom two at Aldo (2 for $20 on sunglasses).  I have to admit that I wasn't sure how this trend looked on me at first, but I'm definitely in love now! 

Also, I wanted to share a new website that I recently found with you guys.  Before I found these cuties at Aldo, I was about to buy a few pairs on here.  They have tons of options (even men's) and very very inexpensive! And I do believe it was free shipping :)

zerouv.com
Either click the picture or click here to visit ZeroUV.com.  Thought I would share this little gem with you guys. What would you do without me?!?!

March Favorites

Hi beauty lovers! So here is my blog version of my March favorites! I've been using a lot of new products this past month, but a few definitely stick out in my mind. Let's start:

1. Dickinson's Pore Perfecting Toner: this is my first time using a toner, I used many types of astringents during my teen years and I hated them.  This past month I decided to step up my skincare routine and this was the first step.  Every night after showering, I apply the toner all over my face using a cotton round.  Now, if you saw my March Favorites video, you know that I said the smell is kind of strange! It smells like food or something and it kind of bothers me.  I usually just hold my breath while applying and it's fine! Maybe it doesn't bother everyone, so don't let it discourage you from trying it.

2. Boots No. 7 Cleansing Water: this goes along with my new beauty routine.  I have to admit that I used to just step into the shower with a full face of makeup and just remove it with my face wash.  Now that I have started first removing it with this product before washing my face, I feel like I get a MUCH better clean. Not to mention that I no longer get out of the shower with that annoying left over eyeliner and mascara underneath my eyes.  I like this product because it doesn't feel oily, it definitely feels more like water.

3. Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer: I LOVE this stuff.  It's kind of fun to use, not gonna lie.  It's great for covering up those dark circles underneath your eyes and it blends really well.  I guess there's a reason why everyone loves this thing.

4. Forever 21 scrunchie: I'm wearing it in my hair right now! I'm definitely loving scrunchies right now, especially to use at night.  It's so much softer than a regular hair tie and a lot more comfortable to sleep in.  I like to use this guy when my hair is oily at night and I just want to pick it up in a messy bun.  But I will definitely still wear it outside of my apartment too! It's just so cute.

5.  Ssips juice boxes: these little guys are so cute and so good! I saw them at my grocery store (it was like a pack of 10 for under $2) and thought they looked good.  I got the Cherry-Berry flavor but they had a few different ones.  The only downside is that they're kind of small, if that bothers you (I think they're made for kids......).

So there you have it! My favorites during the month of March! Let me know if you've tried any of these products, I'd love to hear what you think.

Orange Lips for Spring


Hello beauty lovers!

I'm back!! Since today the weather is so dark and gloomy, I thought I'd bring Spring back into this blog.  Let's talk about orange lips!  I put together a list of my favorite orange lipsticks and glosses, so let's start.

Here I've swatched the lip products that I have pictured above:
1. Milani - Sweet Nectar
2. NYC - Coralista (NEW shade! And I must say it's an amazing bargain)
3. Ulta Beauty Lipstick - #208 (Guess these don't have names?)
4. Ulta Beauty Lip Crayon - Coral Kiss (these are great lip crayons if you're looking for one!)
5. Revlon Color Stay - Continuous Coral (I bought this a while ago, so I'm not sure if they will still have this in stock.  Even if they don't, Revlon always has great coral shades)

So there you have it.  You know I'll be sporting orange lips throughout the spring (except for when I'm wearing my signature bright pink!).  If I have inspired you to try any of these, let me know! Or if you know of any other amazing colors, I'm all ears :D

Thanks for reading,
