Weekend Beauty Grabs!

Hey everyone!

I know I haven't posted in a week, but that's because I was trying to make sure I had a great post for you all for my next post! I haven't even done my nails this week, can you believe it? But that will change today as soon as I finish this post, because some of the grabs I got today and yesterday will get put to use on my nails! So look out for another post either tonight or tomorrow. Yesterday, my mom and I went to Bare Minerals because she won a makeup party. We got the chance to play around in makeup, you know I was in heaven, and got some really good stuff. I also got some things from Forever 21, and Target. 

The top picture shows the sunglasses and two nail colors I got from Forever 21, which were buy one get one free, and I love F21's nail polish. The goodie bag was full of personalized freebies from Bare Minerals, plus the lipgloss that the lady who assisted me at Bare Minerals showed me. I had to get it. It looks perfect on. 

The bottom picture shows what I got from Target today, which is Rimmel's Extra Wow mascara, Revlon's Color Stay Gel Envy white nail polish, which is a base and color enamel combined. I can't wait to try. (I'll have a nail post with that color following this post) I went into Target with the intention of getting Blanc by Essie, but Target only had Marshmallow. I also got a new eyeshadow brush, which I'm excited to use because Elf has great products. 

The colors above are called Neon Pink and Emerald, which I'm excited to use. A girl can never have enough pink nail polish! The Emerald color has a very pretty shimmer to it. I'm almost out of the color I have like this, so I thought this would be pretty. Plus, they were buy one get one free, so I got both of these for $2.80. Steal! Don't sleep on F21's nail polish. It's awesome. I got the sunglasses because one, I can never have enough, and two, I needed some new plain black sunglasses. A lot of my sunglasses have designs on them. My only other plain black plastic pair have round lenses, and my plain black aviators are kind of done, so I thought these were cute. They were $5.80.

First, please excuse my nails. I'm taking care of them today, promise. This was the lipgloss I bought from Bare Minerals, it was not included in the goodie bag, but I couldn't leave it in the store. It smells SO good. It has a minty smell, and it tingles a bit on your lips upon application. It's called Risk Taker, and it was $18. Well worth it. Very well worth it. It's amazing quality, and looks great on.

In the goodie bag, there was translucent powder, which is typically applied after all of your makeup is applied to give it a nice finish, to prevent shine, and to prevent sweat from messing it up. There was also moisturizer for combination skin, which is perfect because I have combination skin. The lady who helped me personalized my goodie bag, and I was very excited to get it. I tried it last night and liked how my skin felt this morning. It was less oily on my forehead, and the bottom of my face didn't feel dry so that was awesome. She also included under eye brightener. I was talking to her about the dark circles under my eyes so I was happy that she included that. I tried it today, and it made under my eyes look SO much better. Very pleased. The last photo is lipgloss, and it is super gorgeous on. It's like a nude color, and it has a really nice shine. I love it. The shade I have is called Saavy from the Pretty Please line. 

This mascara is from Rimmel, and is the Extra Wow Lash mascara. It is the Extreme Black #003 shade. I haven't tried it yet, but I will be sure to let you know how it works when I try it! It was $3.04 at Target. I was going to get the Falsies by Maybelline, but I wanted to try something new. I still may go back and get the Falsies just to have another one because it's my favorite.

I had no plans of buying an eyeshadow brush today, but I saw it and remembered that I needed one. It was like $1.14 if I remember correctly. I have so many shadow brushes but a lot of them are worn down, so I'm trying to get my stash back up of new ones. Elf has great products at pocket friendly prices.

This is Revlon's Color Stay Gel Envy white polish. This color is called Sure Thing. I don't want to post too much about this because I've never tried this line, and I am doing my nails this color today, so I'll have more for you guys on how it turns out and how I liked it later today. I love love white nail polish, and I haven't had white nails since last summer so I'm excited.

That does it! These are all my buys from the weekend. I hope you enjoyed the post! Stay tuned for future posts about some of these products!

Until next time.

Favorite Spring & Summer Nail Colors!

Hi!

I've decided to share some of my favorite shades to wear on your fingers and toes for the spring and summer seasons. Many of these shades are bright, and light, except for one. These shades are wallet friendly, and look great on everyone, and go with any spring or summer outfit. Check them out!

I am a nail polish junkie, so trying to select like three or four colors didn't work, so I chose ten. (Don't judge)

Got A Date To-Knight by OPI. 

This is one of my favorite pinks ever. It is one of those go to shades when you want something classy, elegant, and pretty. It is OPI, which in my opinion is one of the gods of nail polish lines. OPI colors usually run about $9 a bottle, and can be found at beauty supply stores, Target, CVS, Rite Aids, and just about every drugstore. A little bit pricy, but worth it because it is such great quality nail polish. Sometimes this polish can be found at stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls for a lot cheaper. The most common places to find OPI polish is at any drugstore, and stores like Target, Walmart, etc. This color goes perfect with the warm weather seasons, will last long, and will look great on any skin complexion.

Cream Pink by Sinful Colors. 

This color is a great choice if you are feeling a bright color. It is the perfect hot pink color, and can be found in Target, CVS, Rite Aid, and similar drugstores for no more than $3. Cheap right? Not only is this polish cheap, it is long lasting, and very good quality nail polish. I have many SC shades, which you will come to find out, but this is definitely one of my favorites. The perfect shade to go to when you are feeling fun and flirty!

Taxi Cab Creme by New York Color (NYC)

I LOVE yellow nail polish, and to me, next to white or pink, it is the perfect spring and summer shade! The perfect thing about this nail polish line is it is super cheap. Most bottles range from about $2 or $3. It can be found where most nail polish colors can be found, at any drugstore, or Target or Walmart. This color is not super bright yellow, but it is bright enough for me! When I want a bright statement nail color, this is my go to. I highly recommend this color. Your nails, or your wallet will not regret it!

Green With Envy by Sally Hansen

One of my favorite colors ever, I do not confine this color to just spring or summer. This is definitely a year round color for me, even though it is more suitable for the warmer months. I have had this color for years, and it still glides on very smoothly. It was a while before I had to drop some nail polish remover in it to smooth it out. This color does not take many coats to get the true color like some of the lighter colors, which is why it is so long lasting. These colors are about $3, and can be found at any drugstore, as well as Target and Walmart. Highly, highly recommend!!

Avocado by Love and Beauty by Forever 21

If you didn't know how great Forever 21's nail polish line is, you do now. Some of my favorite colors that I have gotten over the years have come from Forever 21. It is really long lasting. It goes almost a week without chipping! Not only is it fabulous nail polish, it is only $2.80! You honestly cannot beat it. This is a really pretty greenish- blue color, and definitely fits in with the theme of the warm month nail polish colors. Try it out!

Breezy Blue by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear

This is a really light and cool blue. It does take a few coats to get to the color in the bottle because it glides on kind of sheer. However, it is still a great, and peaceful color to wear. As I mentioned with the previous Sally Hansen color, it is $3 a bottle, and well worth it. Very classy and elegant color. 

Endless Blue by Sinful Colors

Literally one of my favorite colors EVER, and yes, another SC color. I got introduced to this color by one of my best friends, and I was addicted to it. A little dark compared to all of these colors, but I couldn't help myself. This color looks great in any season. This is the color you go to when you want a statement and bold nail. HIGHLY recommend!!!

Play Date by Essie

In my book, Essie nail polish is right up there with OPI. Though a little bit pricier than the rest of these colors, it is well worth the $9. Essie can be found at any drugstore, as well as Target and Walmart. If you feel like splurging, or trying a Essie color, try this one! It is my go to color when I really do not know what I am in the mood for. It is super pretty, and very long lasting. I love light purple and pink nail colors, and can never have enough. This was a gift to me from another one of my best friends, and it was funny she got it for me because I had gotten my nails done on my birthday that same day at the salon, and that was the color I picked! How ironic she got it for me. It was fate. Love, love, love this color!

Topless and Barefoot by Essie

Another Essie color yes, but that is because their colors are everything! I had been searching high and low for the perfect nude color, and this is definitely it. Nude is great for year round, and it is just really simple, but so elegant. It makes your hands look really clean and neat. If you are in the mood for simple, this is a great choice.

White on White by China Glaze

First let me say, my summer is not complete unless I rock a white mani and pedi for a minimum of two weeks. I LOVE white polish, and I love China Glaze. It's the perfect combination for me. White nails obviously go with everything, and is perfect for the season. White nails make a statement, and they just look great! It takes time to perfect a white mani, but once you do, you will never want to take the polish off. I do suggest going to a salon and getting them to do it so you don't have to stress yourself trying to get it perfect. China Glaze runs for about $4, and can be found at beauty supply stores, and Targets. I haven't seen it at too many drugstores, but beauty supply stores are where they have the biggest selection of China Glaze colors. You definitely have to try the white mani!! It's a summer nail polish must!

I hope you all enjoyed this post, and hopefully have found some new nail polish colors to flaunt for the season!
