Top 5 Spring Nail Polishes

Hey guys!

The seasons are changing again which means it's time for another seasonal polish faves! Spring is the perfect time to pull out your bright neons & and pale pastels. Here's my top 5!

As you can see, they are all pastels & brighter colors. Spring & Summer are probably my favorite seasons for nail polish because you can make such a statement. 

The first two are by CoverGirl in peek a boo pink and coral silk. The formula of this is thin but not too sheer, and the colors are perfect for this season. 

Next I have an Essie polish in under where? This is a creamy, pink toned purple shade which is neutral enough to go with any outfit but bright at the same time!

This is one of my favorite shades! It's Mint Sorbet by Sally Hansen. It's the perfect mint green color and it's very affordable too!

Last but not least I have Revlon's dreamer. This is a very toned down pink-toned blue and it reminds me of the sky!

That's all of the polish I have to show, I hope you enjoyed!

February Favorites! (2014)

Hello everyone, I'm back for another favorites post!

I love doing these to reflect on what I've been consistently using lately. I wasn't very proactive this month (what's new?) and I forgot to write down my favorites as I noticed them. I had a little trouble remembering all of them but here they are!

I actually have a re-favorite from last month! I've been using the Benefit World Famous Neutrals most glamorous nudes ever palette ever since I got it! It has very wearable shades and the pigmentation is amazing! I definitely want to eventually purchase more Benefit shadows.

 Another eyeshadow I've been loving I don' think I've ever talked about on my blog. It's the essence eyeshadow in strawberry ice cream. It says new, but it's definitely not new anymore as I got it over a year ago for only $2. I've found it sold at Shoppers Drug mart and I don't go there often so I never remember to try more shades of it.

And lastly for eyes I've been brightening my lower lash line with the Rimmel Scandal Eyes waterproof kohl kajal eyeliner (that's a mouthful!). It makes me look more awake on the days I don't get enough sleep.

For lips, I've only been using a few products apart from my usual Nivea lip balm.

The first thing is the Maybelline Baby lips in Grape Vine. It's a very subtle berry color which looks great with a very natural eye look! It's also super moisturizing! Check out my full review here!

I debated putting this lip gloss in here because I got it around 4 years ago at Garage, which is a clothing sale! On top of that, it was on clearance for $3 so I highly doubt you could find it anywhere anymore. :( I apologize about that but it is a really pretty lip gloss. it adds a lot of shine and a fair amount of color. It also smells super sweet which is amazing!

A have quite a few face favorites form this month, I've been really into creating a flawless complexion!

First off, I've been blending my foundation with this sponge I received for my birthday. it's from Winners and I like to use it damp. It gives a very natural look. I need to buy a new one, this one's getting a bit old.

I recently purchased (and reviewed) The Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation. I really like the appearance of this but I won't go into too much detail as I recently posted a full review.

I've been in love with MAC's fix+ this month! I won't go into too much detail, as I'm planning an upcoming review, but this gives a dewy look and helps my makeup stay for hours!

For cheeks, I've been using the elf blush in tickled pink! It adds a really natural coral tint to your cheeks and I adore it!

Lastly, I have a  random favorite! During the after Christmas sales, I picked up this bracelet form Walmart for only $3! It looks like Pandora and I really love the colors. Quality isn't great, a few things have already broke, but I love how it looks!

That's all of my favorites! I hope you enjoyed, see ya next month!

Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3 in 1 Foundation Review! (100th Post!)

Hello Everyone!

Today is actually my 100th post! I can't believe I've already posted 100 blog posts. I've had my blog for nearly 1 year and I love posting on it! I'm very excited to write my 100th post, so here it is!

As the title says, I'm going to be doing a review of the Covergirl 3 in 1 foundation. I picked this up recently as I had heard great things about it and I already love it!

I really love the packaging of this! It contains an average 1 oz. and I really like the shape of the bottle. It has a pump, which makes it super easy to dispense. I use 1 pump when applying with my fingers, and 2 when using a sponge. This foundation is extremely blendable. My favorite way to apply it is with a damp beauty sponge, this gives the most natural-looking application. It sets to a non-shiny finish but it's also not matte, leaving it looking natural on the skin. I usually like to apply powder, and set it with MAC fix+ for a dewy finish & lasting power. 

I really like the fact that this contains and SPF of 20, it's great for the sunnier months. 

The coverage is medium to full. It covers all discoloration & redness as well as blurs any acne. As I said, it looks really natural on the skin and it doesn't appear cakey. It also lasts a fairly long time. Most foundations don't look great on me at the end of the day but this one holds up pretty well. 

I'm in the lightest shade (ivory) and I find that it matches me perfectly! It does oxidize a little bit but nothing too dramatic.

Overall, this is actually my new favorite foundation! I don't have anything negative to say about this apart from the price. It retails for $13 at most drugstores in Canada, but I often see coupons for Covergirl.
That finishes my review for today. I hope you anjoyed my 100th post and I can't wait to do more!

Bye!

Blogmas 2013: Day 6! Covergirl BB Cream

I love the idea of BB creams. An all in one product which evens out your skin tone with light coverage, protects from the sun, and moisturizes. I really likes the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream but I ran out so I decided to try the Cover Girl one. I was really disappointed with it after a few uses.

It claims to be a 9-in-1 Instant Skin Enhancer. 

I'd say 9-in-1 is kind of pushing it since it doesn't do much. 

It's claims are:

-Natural Looking Radiance

-Sheer Color

-All Day Hydration

-Improves Skin Elasticity

-Blends Effortlessly

-Lightweight

-Helps Skin Feel Smooth

-Covers to Help Instantly Improve Skin`s Appearance

-Won`t Clog Pores

I find that the 9 enhancements aren't really enhancements, just things to be expected when buying a BB Cream.

The only thigns I would agree with is that it blends well and it's lightweight.

The consistency appears thick, but when blended in it`s very thin and almost liquid-y. It blends into nothing. I don`t see it covering any redness, blemishes or discoloration. It doesn't even out my skin tone or even protect from the sun (there's no SPF in it)! It does have great moisturizing qualities but that's what my moisturizer is for. I don`t find this to be a very good product and I wouldn't recommend it. 

I don't like doing negative reviews like this but, these are my honest opinions and different people may have different thoughts.

I was really disappointing with this product and definitely wouldn't go back for it.

That concludes Blogmas Day 6! I hope you enjoyed!

Bye!

New Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara!

I recently picked up the new covergirl flamed out mascara in very black blaze. It was $6.99 at Target I believe. I had been wanted to try it for a while, and I had heard many good things about it. I had seen the brush and it looked very interesting. The packaging is cute colors, but the tube is an awkward size.

The first few times I applied the mascara, it took many coats to build up and look full. But as I used the mascara more often, it became quicker. I think this is because more mascara built up on the brush over time. The curve of the wand gives my lashes a nice, natural curl without even curling my lashes. The mascara removed with ease.

That's all for today! I may not post as often this upcoming week, as I'm going to be quite busy. I hope you understand.

Mani Monday

Hey again,

Just a quick post for today. I painted my nails yesterday and thought I'd post it.

I received some nail polish for my birthday and I thought I'd try some out.

I chose a cover girl polish in the shade peek a boo pink.

 The color looked very pretty in the bottle, a shear iridescent pink!

The first couple of coats were quite shear, but I got the color I was looking for at 3 coats.

I took 2 photos in 2 different lights. I used a base coat and a top coat because the polish was a bit matte and I like it shiny.

The second photo is a little more true to color. It's almost a shimmery baby pink.

That's all for today!
