Zoya Delight Collection Spring 2015

New week New collection,

As much as the Zoya Naturel Satins collection are creamy pastels, the Delight collection is the more bright Easter egg answer to those.  I wear bright nails all year round so these will definitely be much used and a great addition to any collection.  This absolutely has to be one of my favorite collections from Zoya to date; swatches and comparisons below, Enjoy!

Zoya Entice Collection Fall 2014

Welcome to Monday!

I thought we'd start off with the Zoya Entice collection for Fall 2014, admittedly these excited me in a way that only cream formula Fall shades can.  Each shade is full of it's own deep, rich, pigmented color that is perfect for Fall.

My favorite of the bunch is Ryan, as I love deep Fall navy's, something about them is just perfect and you can get away with so many variations of the shade.  A few other navy's in my collection are: Essie's After school boy blazerL'Oreal's Jet set to ParisEssie's Bobbing for Baubles.  Ryan sets itself apart with being it's own deep blue shade that doesn't pull black at all.  I had some staining on the nails when removing but the color is so beautiful that it's worth it.  Nyssa is a creamy light milk chocolate that fits perfectly with Zoya's Spencer, ChanelleFlynn, and Louise.  Claire is a deep wine Merlot shade and I had a few issues with sheer patches, which you can see in the picture.  Geneviev is a beautiful gray shade that pulls blue and is the non glitter version of Zoya's Yuna, it applied beautifully and I really enjoyed wearing it on my nails; a deeper gray version of Essie's Power Clutch. Swatches and Pictures below, Enjoy!

Zoya Ignite Collection Fall 2014

Happy Monday!

I'd like to share my pictures and swatches from the Zoya Ignite collection for Fall 2014.  In the bottle each of these is a warm Fall color with beautiful fine glitter running throughout.  Each of these has a beautiful golden shimmer that is extremely fine but adds the most perfect Fall touch to each shade. 

First up is Autumn which is a gorgeous burnt orange, it's name is perfect as it reminds me of a my favorite deep orange Fall leaves.  Next is Teigen, a combination of fuschia and plum; I would say this is the pink of the collection and similar to Zoya Jem but deeper in color. India is deeper than Teigen pulling more of a burgundy tone in it's base and a touch of purple shimmer, this is the only shade that I had a little trouble with as the formula was on the thick side.  Sansa is the name I love out of them all, it's the purple of the group and it somehow reminds me of the Solar System in a bottle.  Remy is a beautiful teal blue and this one wowed me with just one coat and it's sparkle.   Last but definitely not least is Yuna, a beautiful gray with that same gold shimmer that sets it apart from any other shade that I own; the base gray reminds me of a lighter blue gray version of Essie's Power Clutch.  You can find these at Ulta now or through the Zoya website as I have linked below. Enjoy!

Zoya Naturel Deux Collection

Happy Halloween!

Today I have a post for you that isn't scary at all, I'm sharing the gorgeous Naturel Deux collection from Zoya! As soon as this arrived at my door I was in instant love, Zoya did it again with these creamy neutrals and I just adore them.  Admittedly my favorites of the collection are those that lean mauve or purple and I've received so many compliments and questions when wearing those to Ulta.  I do have to warn that they appear deeper on the nail than in the bottle but still gorgeous.  I had no problems with applications although some are thicker than the usual formula, that can be expected with opaque creams.  I really enjoyed these and am getting tons of use out of these for Fall, enjoy!

Sephora Haul

Hi Guys, this is an older Sephora haul that I wanted to share from the Summer. I've been searching for the Becca Flowerchild blush for months and it just hadn't come available until August through Sephora.  I snatched it up as soon as I got the email, as well as 2 of the Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eyeshadows because honestly I was completely intrigued by the idea of them.  I have enjoyed them and how quick and easy they are to apply.  The colors are simply gorgeous and give the most beautiful shine to the eye.  Below you will find swatches of everything, enjoy!

Rite Aid L'Oreal 40% off Haul w/swatches

Happy Monday!

What better way to start a new week off than with a haul! This past week Rite Aid had a fabulous 40% off sale and I had a few items that I really wanted to pick up.  I prefer lip crayons as lip products to lipsticks because they usually have a pretty sheer color pay off and that is perfect for me.  The colors in these balms were slightly more bright than the packaging but I think I can make them work, I can already tell you that I enjoy them.  They go on smoothly and I can't tell that they're on my lips when I'm wearing them, I picked up 2 more in Fall shades as well that will be up later this week. I'm undecided on the Miss Manga mascara but I will keep trying it and keep you updated. Enjoy!

Zoya Summer 2014 Bubbly Collections

Hi Guys!

Today I want to share a few of my favorite picks from the Zoya Summer 2014 Bubbly collection.  As soon as these arrived in the mail I pretty much knew what my favorites would be; Binx and Harper! I'm a total "Pink Nail" girl and these came packed with tons of sparkle, perfect for a glitter-loving girl! I love how these applied, they were smooth in texture and shine; when the sun hits the glitter just right the flecks are gorgeous! What were your favorites and did anything stand out to you from this collection? Enjoy!

Pacifica 7 Free Nail Color NOTD Swatch & Review

Well, it's the start of a new week and I thought we could start off with a bang! This rich wine red shade belongs to Pacifica 7 Free Nail Color line and let me tell you, it is Amazing!  I knew the color was gorgeous as soon as I opened my September 2014 Ipsy bag but I didn't think the formula could be as amazing as it was.  This polish was opaque in one coat, however out of habit I used two. The formula applied no problem and I had no cleanup afterwards which is unheard for me with red polishes.  I had such a great experience that I immediately went over to the Pacifica website and loaded up my cart with must have shades since Ipsy is offering a discount until the end of the month.  Has anyone else tried this polish? I haven't heard much about it and I think it should be talked about so much more! Enjoy!

Maybelline Color Tattoo Collection & Swatches

Happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a simple post, pictures and swatches of my Maybelline Color Tattoo collection.  I've noticed how much I love these and how large my collection has grown since these came out so I figured this may benefit someone in choosing along the way.  I own one Mac Paint pot in Painterly and I use it all the time, it is the perfect base for all eye shadows but these Color Tattoos definitely stand up to the quality and lasting time of the Paint pots and they down right beat Mac in the price department. I usually can catch a deal on the the color tattoos for $6.99 and Buy one Get one 1/2 off and a Mac Paint pot will cost you $21.  The Color Tattoos claim to last 24 hours but I've honestly never put them to that much of a test; they seem to handle my day to day eyeshadow wear pretty amazingly! Enjoy!



Bad to the Bronze, Pomegranate Punk, Tough as Taupe, Barely Branded
Creamy Beige, Pure Nude, Chocolate Suede, Sleek & Spice
Barely Beige, Mossy Green, Matte Brown, Just Beige, Rich Mahogany
 Ulta has 3 links for Maybelline Color Tattoos and since I've collected from various collections, I thought I'd add all 3 here, here, & here.


Thanks for checking out my Color Tattoos, are there any favorite shades that I should add on my next trip?

MAC Pedro Lourenco Nude Quad + Aquatics "Lorelai"

Hello Friends!

Today I'm sharing one of my first MAC purchases, of many I'm sure! I just love the way MAC eye shadows apply, they are just the smoothest and most buttery.  I'm always on the search for a great champagne color so I picked up the "Lorelei" single and "Pedro Lourenco Nude Quad", I'm completely happy with both of these and have gotten tons of use out of them already.  The colors all go so well together and I am constantly using them in conjunction with Soft Brown.  Do you have any MAC faves or recommendations?

Zoya Tickled Collection Summer 2014

The start of a new week and we are just getting into Fall but I wanted to share my favorite Summer polish collection before we get too far into the bitter cold. This collection came out over the Summer and it was my favorite formula, creams.  The pinks and coral obviously grabbed me first as they are great staples for the season but the orange/red, green, and blue are just as perfect! The formula on each of these was wonderful and I can see myself wearing these a ton still into the Fall and Winter as pedicure colors, Enjoy!

Maybelline "Nudes" Palette

Hello Everyone!

I've been on the search for the new Maybelline nude palette for a few weeks now with no luck.  I thought I'd find it for sure at Rite Aid during the recent 40% off all Maybelline sale but I still had no luck.  When a new display at Target caught my eye I knew that it had to be mine and that I would be paying full price.  The palette costs only $9.99 and you get 12 beautiful neutral shadows,  it's simply beautiful and I can see myself getting some great use out of it this Summer.  It has a couple of copper shimmer shades which are my favorite so I know they will be getting the most use.  I'm also giving the Revlon Bold Lacquer mascara a try but I have yet to form an opinion on it so I'll keep you posted. Have you been able to get your hands on this palette & do you love it?  Enjoy the swatches below!

My First Sleek Haul

In the early Spring Sleek MakeUP had a 20% off sale and shipping is always so affordable to so I bit the bullet and picked up a few things I'd been eyeing for quite some time. I looked up swatches and picked out a few things to start with and I was seriously impressed with the packaging and pigmentation that these beauties give off! I can see myself really getting some use out of these this Summer because the shades are absolutely gorgeous and I just have fun using them so adding them to my daily routine will be a welcome change! I'd love to hear everyone else's favorites from the brand, leave them below in the comments if there is something I should buy in my next little haul.
