Polish 'M- 'Spring Style'

Happy Sunday Sunday!

I have a great Spring polish for you today.

I'm sure all of you have heard of Polish'M.

Today's post is my first ever polish from them,

and I was very impressed.

Here's 2 coats of 'Spring Style'.

'Spring Style' is a pastel pink base with a slight, iridescent/pastel purple shimmer to it.

Alos, you can see that it has almost every color of glitter imaginable.

These glitters come in little, medium, and large hexes, circles, and squares.

It's just perfect.

China Glaze Spring 2015 Roadtrip collection- 'Boho Blues'

Happy Tuesday!

It's in the 70's all week here this week,

and aside from my seasonal allergies-

it makes me so ready for Spring! :)

Here's another polish from CG's 2015 Spring Roadtrip collection,

'Boho Blues'!

(3 coats)

'Boho Blues' is really more of a periwinkle color than a blue.

It reminds me slightly of Essie's 'Bikini So Teeny' from a year or two ago.

It's lovely!

It's not my favorite color for my skin tone,

but it's a solid polish.

Game of Thrones shadows/swatches!

Okay, so, I"m a big game of thrones fan.

I've read all the books & they're amazeballs,

PLUS the show isn't half bad, either.

In honor of Season 5 starting in the next few weeks,

I'd decided to buy some shadows from the ever amazing

Shiro Cosmetics.

I've actually never bought this brand before,

but I've heard and seen nothing but great things.

I chose several pigments from the Game of Thrones collection,

and here are their swatches! :)

Though I haven't actually worn any of these yet,

I was very pleased with quality & pigmentation while swatching.

:)

Stay tuned for a/some look(s) using these soon!

China Glaze Spring 2015 Roadtrip Collection- 'Wanderlust'

Happy Friday!

I'm going to see Flux Pavilion tonight,

and I'm beyond stoked.

It's been a couple years since I've seen him,

and I need a night out :P

Anyway,

I have another lovely polish from CG's new Spring Collection.

Here's 2 coats of 'Wanderlust':

'Wanderlust' is a pastel lilac creme with slight light orange shimmer

(you can see this very faintly in the first & second picture).

It actually reminds me faintly of 'In a Lily Bit' from their Spring collection last year,

but I like it all the same! :)

China Glaze Spring 2015 Road Trip Collection- 'Pack Lightly'

Spring is officially here in Tennessee, finally!

To celebrate, I'm breaking out the polishes I bought from China Glaze's new Spring collection.

The first of many is 'Pack Lightly'.

Here's 3 coats:

'Pack Lightly' is a pastel, orange cream colored creme polish.
It was a bit more watery than I would have liked,
but the color and finished product is lovely.
It reminds me faintly of the pastel orange Sinful Colors put out for their spring collection 2 years ago.

Coloupop Cosmetics lippie stix & pencil in 'Flawless'

Today I have my last of the 3 lippie stix I bought from Colourpop Cosmetics recently.

Yesterday's was a gloss, today's is another satin.

Here's 'Flawless':

This was the first time I'd used a lippie pencil,

but it worked very well.

Here are both together:

I've never worn this purple-fushia color on my lips before,

but I. LOVE. IT.

In contrast to the other satin I'd tried,

the formula was considerably better with 'Flawless'.

I'm impressed,

as I've been with almost all Colourpop Cosmetics' lippies!

:)

Colourpop Cosmetics Lippie Stix 'Easy'

So far, I've tried matte & satin hippie stix.

For today, however, I have my first glossy stix.

I don't usually do glossy/wet lipstick because I hate how easily it comes off and gets in my hair, on my fork, etc.... BUT, this was so pretty online that I had to try it.

Here's 'Easy'... and boy, is it easy on the eyes.

'Easy' is a pastel, bubblegum pink gloss.

It applied like butter,

and I think it's lovely.

It's a little bit more baby pink than I normally like,

only because on ME- I feel like it makes me look like a high schooler sometimes.

Regardless, though, this lippie is lovely & PERFECT for Spring! :)

Zoya Pixie Dust in 'Thea'

So this is the second of the two Pixie Dusts I purchased recently.

I was in love with Lux,

and now here's 2 coats of Thea:

'Thea' is a "deep amethyst with an orchid flash", and it's clearly packed heavy with Pixie Dust holo glitter. I've seen this watched before & I was in love.

The purple/fuschia hybrid color is gorgeous for sure.

The sparkle of the glitter was nowhere near what I saw with Lux, though,

so that was somewhat disappointing.

It's pretty nonetheless! :)

My Little Pony makeup series- Fluttershy

I've got another installment in my My Little Pony makeup series for you today

(see the first one here).

Today's look is based off of Fluttershy:

She represents the element of kindness,

so I wanted the look I created for her to not only use her colors,

but be soft and gentle as well.

Here's what I came up with!

I used:

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

UD's 'El Dorado' & 'Midnight Cowboy'- inner half of lid

UD's 'Hot Pants'- outer part of lid

Sleek's 'Pout' & Sugarpill's 'Dollipop'- crease

SYN Cosmetics' 'Audacious'- highlight

Lime Crime's 'Circus Girl'- lower lash line

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Colourpop Cosmetics Lippe Stix- 'Charm'

I have an interesting lip stix from Colourpop for you today.

All the hippie i've tried from them so far have been matte,

but 'Charm' is a satin.

AND, did i mention, MINT GREEN.

I saw it online, and in lieu of our sudden Springy weather, I thought I would buy it/post it.

I've really liked the lippie six I've tried to far because they were super easy 

to apply.

I don't know if this was harder to apply because of the satin formula or the color,

but it was :/

The color os gorgeous, for sure.

It's not something I would normally wear,

but it was fun to try nonetheless.

The opacity/quality wasn't anywhere near as good as the others I've tried,

so that was disappointing.

I'm convinced it's just a dud, though,

because I've tried 2 others that came with this one-

and they're awesome.

Stay tuned to see those! :)

Zoya Pixie Dust 'Lux'

I've only tried one other Pixie Dust from Zoya before,

but I loved it. SO, I was very anxious to try another one.

When Zoya had their last promo,

I scooped up two.

Here's the first: 'Lux'

'Lux' is a "rose quartz" Pixie Dust. They claim opacity is a 4 (on a scale of 1-5), but I would say it's closer to a 3. Here, I've got 2 coats of it over Covergirl's 'Constant Candy'. 

I couldn't completely capture the jaw-dropping sparkle of this bad boy,

but it's close enough.

Needless to say, the sparkle & shine is INSANE.

Definitely beautiful!

FROM THE VAULT- Lime Crime Carousel Gloss 'Snow-Sicle'

So considering this is my NINTH consecutive day being out of work due to the snow/ice,

I figured this gloss is a perfect one to bring out of the vault and showcase again.

This gloss is completely clear, but filled with holo/iridescent glitter.

It's GORG.

Though I don't wear this very much (mainly because the sticky-ness of it doesn't mesh with my super long hair)- it is really lovely. Very simple and easy with a little bit of pop :)
