Current Favourite Nail Polishes!

From Left to Right..

Joe Cosmetics - Fig; deeper lilac shade, creamy and applies opaque in two coats
Joe Cosmetics - Persian Blue; I absolutely love this creamy blue color, I don`t even know how to describe it. I think it`s a really unique shade and again the Joe Cosmetics nail polishes are really great quality for the price!
Joe Cosmetics - Jade; creamy emerald green color with no shimmer, absolutely love for fall!
Revlon Top Speed - Stormy; If you like OPI`s Metro Chic, you will definitely love this color, as it is pretty exact and dries in a quarter of the time ;)
MAC - cream Abalone Shell; cute nude color, I need to apply about three coats of this nail polish to get the opaque look, but it`s well worth it as it is a gorgeous nude color
Revlon - Plummy; the berry shades are in and this shade is so pretty! For me it`s the perfect berry color :)
OPI - Start to Finish base coat and top coat; best base coat I`ve ever used :)
OPI - Fast drying Top Coat; I like my top coats of a thicker consistency to get a nice shine and also protects the enamel underneath, and this definitely gives my not so good quality nail polishes a longer wear :P
Rimmel 60 Seconds - Grey Matter; pretty light grey. This color is one of my favourites now just because it`s an appealing color to look at on the nails, also grey never goes out of style :)

I've got the blues

Lately, I have been wearing nothing but blues on my eyelids. I just love how simple the application is but gives a simple but sophisticated look that could be worn day or night :)

Also, I wanted to post this particular look because I'm trying out a new foundation. NARS matte in Barcelona. I believe its a tad too light for me but it would perfectly as for the winter time. The NARS foundation in the matte formulation is honestly really light wearing, you seriously don't feel like you have make-up on your face! Its medium to full coverage depending on your application. Also, the sales lady at Sephora said that the next shade  up in this formulation would be too dark for me, unfortunately.. and actually said that NARS may not be the way to go for foundations this summer. Boo.

Foundation: NARS matte foundation in Barcelona

Concealer: MAC select cover-up in NC42

Eyes: Annabelle Blue Hue Trio (inner tear duct, eyelid), Mocha Cup (crease)

Eyelashes: ELF eyelash curler, Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara in Black

Lips: Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip liner in Natural, MAC lipstick in Lazy Day, MAC lipglass in Splashing

Revlon Lipsticks!

Since highschool I have always loved Revlon`s line of lipsticks. I think they are just a staple in everyone`s makeup collection, just because they are so easily accessible and they are great quality for the price they range for (3-8 dollars). I just bought three new colors to add to my collection of Revlon lipsticks :).
Also, when I mean they are great quality, they actually last more than 1-2 hours on the lips. They are highly pigmented, great formulation, they don`t feel cakey and drying (especially the cream formulas). The matte formula has also worked well for me over the years, I have never had a problem with flaking and drying out. I usually pair a matte lipstick with a balm underneath, or a lipgloss so I never come across that sort of problem.

L-R: Strawberry Suede, Pink About It, Pink Pout

These colors totally reminded me of spring and summer so I just had to grab them :)

L-R: Strawberry Suede, Nude Attitude, Pink About It, Pink Pout, Sparkling Cider (Pearl), Bed of Roses (Creme), Almost Nude (Creme)

Here are the rest of the swatches :)

L-R: Sparking Cider, Bed of Roses, Almost Nude (one of my all time faves!)

On another note, I was inspired by looking at some looks people were doing on their blogs and decided to try out an 'Emerald` look. It didn`t turn out to bad :)
