Nail Polish Haul

Its not like I need anymore nail polish but I was once again suckered in to these fabulous colors and deals so here is what I got!

L-R (Fast Track, Argo, Smoke and Ashes, Luxe and Lush)

Got these at Ulta and can I just try and explain how much I am in love with the last color on the right. I am so excited to put that over every nail polish I wear for a while! Not very often do I buy the little sets but I seemed to like all of these colors and thought why not, and I am not sure if you can tell how big these are but they are much bigger then the OPI little ones they come out with. 

L-R (Ocean, Jet Set for Paris, Cloud)

These I picked up at Target just paroozing on my lunch break from work (I work at Starbucks across the parking lot) and thought 1. I dont have colors such as these and 2. What cute spring.summer colors! 

So what colors are you into this coming spring and summer for your nails?

April Favorites 2012

April was a bit of an odd month for me, I didn't really stick to any certain look or string of products I kind of just jumped around as far as what I was in the mood for and have been trying out some new things. 

So this is what I came up with that I really thought was worth sharing.

First up is this white cardigan from Forever21. I believe I got it on sale a month or two back and I am pretty sure it was $16-18, so not to bad. I love this thing, it seems to be my savior when I think I need a little more coverage but I can take it off if I feel too hot (I am in the humid Texas weather ya know). Its simple, sweet and girly. I love it!

Another two items I had to feature were the Revlon eye shading brush, I love this brush for blending out the crease and softening up any harsh colors. Its a definite go to brush for me.

As well as the Josie Maran Argan Oil, I personally use this on my face, I add a drop or two to my night moisturizer and rub it in my skin, I feel this has been a real reason why my skin tone and texture has improved so much, my skin has evened out a lot and the texture is baby smooth. Love this product!

 

Two makeup products that I think are so amazing for the warmer sunnier months are the Laura Geller Spackle makeup primer (left). It has a bit of sheen to give you that extra glow without looking greasy or oily as well as making your makeup last a little longer. Then there is Benefits Highbeam highlighter which everyone knows and this has just been my go to highlighter when I feel I need a little extra umph.  

Lastly  is the E.L.F eyebrow kit in medium as well as the Eyebrow and Lash gel, I use the wax side mostly and just use the brush it came with, every now and then if i want fuller brows I will use the powder but usually just the wax then topped with the gel, Its amazing and a perfect match for my brows. At only $3 you cant go wrong!

What were your stand out products this month?!

Favorite Nude Lip Combo ATM

I have always loved nude lips, wether it was paired with a smokey eye or even paired with a simple understated eye to give a more natural appearance to my overall look. 

I have had the Buxom Lipgloss in Samantha for well over a year now, I want to say about two years really. I got it in some buxom kit that was on sale at Sephora back when and at the time I don't think you were able to get it seperately however now it is part of the permanent Buxom Lipgloss line. If you are a lover of nude lips or nude glosses, GO CHECK THIS OUT. It has that minty/tingly/cooling feel that a lot of plumping glosses have. I personally love that feeling. 

A couple days ago I decided to pair it with the ever coveted Revlon Colorbusrt Lipstick in Soft Nude and was amazed! The Revlon Lipstick looks so perfect on my lips now that I have a bit of a summery tan. Its a light beige nude with more of a peach undertone then pink but suits my skin well. 

Paired together these work fabulously and I can already tell this is going to be my go to nude lip for the duration of this summer and coming fall. 

What do you lovelies think? What are some of your favorite nude lip combinations?
