On another note, I feel like I'm getting better at posting weekly, it's becoming more of a natural thing for me to blog, so I'm happy for that. I will probably post today or soon enough, cause I have alot of ideas. If you have any ideas/requests for me please put them in the comments and I will try to do it!

My top five spring nail polishes

Hi beauties! I don't know about you, but when Spring comes around all I want to wear is pastel! I want to get all the pastel colors of nail polishes. What can I say, spring = pastels. So today I will show you 5 nail polishes from my collection that I love to use during the Spring season.


#1) OPI Mod about you: You want the perfect pink-lavender shade? You got it. Mod about you looks like nothing I have in my nail polish collection. This pale/pastel/ baby pink nail polish is very easy to work with. Not sheer at all, super opaque and creamy. Great formula,  Dries quickly. It's a bright nail polish while still being subtle, if that makes sense? This is my go-to nail polish and I will def repurchase.

#2) Sally Hansen Lacey Lilac: Lilac is one of those colors that defines Spring for me. As the name says, it's a lilac color; a very pretty one! For me, this is the perfect lilac color. Doesn't chip for like a week. Gorgeous and pigmented.


#3) Essie Bikini So Teeny: I believe that this was part of essie's summer collection last summer. Correct me if I'm wrong. So I don't know if it's still available. As all essie's nail polish I LOVE the colors they put (plus the bottles are super cute), but I'm not a big fan of the formula. So hard to work with and takes FOREVER to dry. But as I said I'm a big fan of this color, a rich periwinkle blue, and no matter how streaky, coats and time it takes to dry; the color is beautiful, so.


#4) Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet: What can I say? This is the perfect mint color. Love the application, dries quickly. Does not chip easily. Opaque. As you can see I've used up this baby, and I will repurchase as soon as I used it up. Such a great nail polish at a low price.


#5) China Glaze For Audrey: I love this Tiffany blue color. It's the perfect Tiffany blue. A lovely shade of turquoise going more towards the blue side.  It's not warm or cool: I would say that it's neutral. An eyecatching color without being too much. The formulation I'm not so happy about, kinda streaky. Does not chip easily. Overall, happy with the color, not too much for the formulation.


Here are swatches of the five nail polishes:

Thanks for reading! Hope you're all having a lovely week!! xx

Review | Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour blush in Tipsy

Hi lovelies! Hope you're all having an amazing week! I've been sick for over a week (still am, but much better, so yay for that!) Today I will be review a blush from Tarte in Tipsy.


This blush, Tipsy, is a matte coral. In the pan it might seem scary, but it's not. It's super pigmented, with ton of color pay-off while still remaining sheer, if that makes sense? The formula is super easy to work with, super soft. I believe that the formula would be good for any skin types. No matter what anyone might say I love the packaging. I think it's super cute.

As it claims, it last all-day. It's one of my favorite blush for Spring/Summer or any season for that matter. It looks GREAT with a tan. (which I'm totally not right now ugh). For light skin, I believe that it may be too pigmented unless it's applied with a very light hand.

Here are swatches applied heavily:



If you're looking for a great coral blush the Spring/Summer, stop looking! This might be the one for you! I was super pleased with this product and I would like another Tarte blush, possibly in "Exposed".

Do you like my new background aka tissue to display my lovely makeup? :) I love it!! On another note, I'm super happy, I've been posting more on my blog! Yay me! Finding tips and tricks to save time/using it wisely is great! :)

What's your favorite Tarte blush?
