AMAZING NAIL COMBINATION!!! (feat. Nicole By OPI Kardashian Collection and Essie)

 My Favorite Nail Combination

Hey everyone! I am currently LOVING my nails lately, so I wanted to share! When choosing, I wanted to paint my nails a spring nude color to blend with the changing seasons. I chose Essie's "Sand Tropez" which is a cool toned nude that is perfect with any outfit. It is a basic essential to have if you are interested in collecting nail polish as I do! In order to spice things up because nude nail polish alone can look bland, I added Nicole By OPI's "The Next CEO" onto my ring finger. Added a glitter polish in the same color family can add a sweet spice that is very subtle! I think it looks absolutely stunning on any nails and I would recommend this combination to anyone. I hope you try this out! You can find both of these nail polishes at any drugstore! Thank you so much for reading, please follow! :)

CREME BLUSH VS. TRADITIONAL POWDER BLUSH {Pros/Cons, My Opinion}

Hey everyone! Lately, I've been really into wearing blush. It adds a gorgeous flush to your skin! You can get completely different looks depending on the texture and type of blush, making it such a fun tool for makeup looks. There are many forms: liquid, stain, cream, gel, and powder! My favorite are cream and powder, and this post will list pros and cons of each! Also listed below are my favorites. I also have an older post listing my favorite blushes. And a tutorial on how to apply blush for different effects! Keep reading! :)

Creme Blush

Uses: Creme blush is the PERFECT solution to pasty and dull skin. If it is a good formula, it is designed to illuminate your skin and provide a dewy finish! I love wearing creme blush during the whole year, but it goes especially well with warmer seasons! My skin looks a lot healthier when I use creme blush! It can also be used as a highlight. 

Pros: Healthier finish, dewy, longer wear (on my skin), multi-use (lips and cheeks)

Cons: bad quality: will not blend well, not too many drugstore options, bacteria buildup is easier

Favorites! 

1. Stila Convertible Color ($25)

2. Nars The Multiple ($39)

3. Tarte Cheek Stain ($30)

4.Guerlain Terracott Blush Sun Shimmer Highlighter ($41)

Powder Blush

Uses: Powder blush is a traditional product for sculpting your face and adding dimension and color. It can be used more as a contour, highlight, and just plain blush! I love neutral blushes for everyday use. I also set creme blush with powder sometimes! 

Pros: Tons of uses, massive amount of selection, gorgeous matte or shimmer finish. 

Cons: Can appear chalky on dry skin, can appear uneven, sometimes too much shimmer.

Favorites

1. MAC Powder Blush ($16)

2. Nars Blush ($28)

3. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick ($39)

4. ELF Blush (They have one for $1 and one thats $3! Both are great)

Thanks for reading guys! Hope you found this helpful! Overall, I wear creme blush more because I prefer the "healthy skin" look. 

REVIEW: Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter in "Lollipop" {Pictures, Review, Swatches!}

Hey guys! After hearing wonderful things about this lip product, I decided to give it a try. Revlon has launched a new lip butter that promotes beautiful color with a moisturizing lip treatment. It has a glossy shine to it, making the use of a lip gloss unnecessary. I chose "Lollipop", a candy pink with light glitter and a lot of sheen! I am quite impressed with it. Keep reading for pictures, demonstrations, and a more in-depth review. Thanks!

Revlon's Color Burst Lip Butter in "Lollipop"

Net Weight: 0.11 OZ

Company: Revlon

Where to buy: Ulta, CVS, Target

Link: Ulta

Price: $7-9

Formula: The formula for this lip butter is SUPERB! This lip butter is designed to give color to your lips while adding moisture and shine. The color and pigmentation for this specific lip butter is amazing. There are multiple ways to wear this lipstick, as shown in the pictures above. I am able to create a light stain or build it up to a heavy lipstick. There is a ton of shine, so it looks like I am wearing a gloss as well. The color is a beautiful bright candy pink! I am extremely impressed with this formula, and hope the lighter colors are just as amazing. 

Packaging: I am not crazy about the colored outer packaging. It looks a little "kiddish" and cheap. I am a fan of the reinforced cap to prevent messes as well as the silver tube. No serious complaints!

Longevity: The longevity is great on this lip butter. I only suspect this because of the richness and darkness of this particular shade. Because it is so moisturizing, I would imagine that the lighter colors have less wear time. 

I really like this lip butter so far! I cannot wait to wear it more often and purchase more shades. Overall I would most definitely recommend this product to anyone, especially if they have complaints about their lipsticks being drying.

My favorite way to wear this lipstick! Warm up this pink lipstick by adding a coral gloss over. It creates a unique color that looks gorgeous on! I used Revlon's ColorBurst Lip Gloss in "Papaya". 

Thank you so much for reading this post! I really hope this review was helpful. If you enjoyed it please follow and stay tuned for more :)
