5 Nail Polish Colors to Try Right Now from @AllureMagazine and @CoffebreakwithDani

Hi Girls,

As you all know I am a drugstore junkie and pure nail polish addict, so as soon I saw @coffebreakwithdani video for this Allure Magazine article for five Nailpolish shades to rock this summer 2015, it totally inspired me to share my picks.

Hope you will find something from your stash too:) do share your picks with me.

This is the article and color selection Allure Magazine picked.

5 Nail Polish Colors to Try Right Now

MAGENTA

We get that you're not Malibu Barbie. But this take on hot pink has cool lavender undertones that make it elegant. It explains why magenta was the manicure of choice on spring runways, including Chanel's.

My Picks:-Essence in Ultimate Pink, WetnWild Shine in Lavender Crème, Essence Girls Night Out, NYC Wine Bar and Sinful Colors in Ablaze

Magenta is my favorite from all nail polishes color for summer. That is why you will see I have more options in that.

   

 

PAPAYA

What could be more appropriate for warmer weather than nails that are the color of fresh tropical juice (bright orange with a hint of pink)?

My Picks:- Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, WetnWild Shine in Blazed, Essie 1095 and Lac Beauty 1964

  

     

INDIGO BLUE

A hint of purple makes this blue an edgy update on the cobalt and navy manicures you've probably seen everywhere over the last year

My Picks:- NYC Purple Pizzazz, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

   

SEAFOAM GREEN

This is the vacation version of a goes-with-everything neutral. Pale mint is soft enough to work with your brightest bikini.

My Picks:- Sally Hansen in Mint Sorbet and Sally Girl in Brainy

 

BRIGHT LEMON

True, yellow nail polish isn't for everyone. It looks as crisp as linen on fair or dark complexions, but on olive skin, it emphasizes yellow undertones.

My Picks:- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow and NYC Long Wear in Midtown Mimosa

  

I already shared my Manicure using some of these polishes on my blog and Instagram , if you want to see how I did it, click on Instagram account (cateyesdamsel) or have a look at my previous blogpost.

Spring Favorites

This is the first time I decided to share my beauty favorites. I have been wanting to share these posts with you for along time, but I was not sure whether I should do monthly and seasonal favorites, so finally I decided to do this one to start with, what do you guys think?

I will try to post every month my favorite beauty products, hopefully I can keep up with it.

I am also going to do small mini reviews for them in these posts. These are just my opinion for these products, it can differ from all skin types.

Today I am going to share some of my Spring Favorites. When a new season begins to change your make-up routine is as important as re-arranging your closet for the new time. Independently of your skin type, the weather change affects all the beauty tools you use that maybe for winter were okay, but with the heat getting closer and the skin trying to moisturize by itself, new methods and products are needed.

One thing always happens with the change of warm weather is that make-up tends to soften a lot, while in winter a heavy foundation may stay intact, on spring-summer is hard to maintain, not to mention unnatural.

1. This season is where I use the most is BB/CC Creams, and if you want more coverage you can always mix 50/50 with your usual foundation. I use this L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder which is medium coverage foundation, but its perfect for spring and summer season. I am in shade Classic Ivory. I think they are discontinuing this line, its such an amazing foundation, If you find it better grab it now. I already have two backups.

   

2. I use this WetnWild Coloricon Bronzer in Reserve your Cabana as over all setting/ face powder. I know it’s a bronzer but I use it as face powder because its perfect shade for my skin tone. It has SPF 15 for  protection which is a great deal two in one product.

3. Pixi Color Corrector Concealer in Brightening peach. It’s a salmon peach color corrector which diminishes my purple/blue tone under eyes.

4. Milani Baked Blush in Delizioso Pink. It’s a perfect blue based pink matte bush without any shimmer. It has great pigmentation, is not powdery, and has a silky application with nice coverage. This is such a gorgeous blush. It looks really bright in the pan, but you can apply it lightly and it gives your skin a beautiful, natural glow. I have cool toned skin and this complements it so well. This looks so natural and really brightens up your face. Great staying power too.

   

5. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips All-in-One Custom Palette for Face & Eyes in Natural Nude. I love using it as a highlighter on my cheeks and on my eyelid and inner corner. I also some of the shimmer shadows as overall eyelid color. Its such a great multipurpose product.  

6. Rimmel Gel Eyeliner and Kate Moss Green Eye shadow stick in Green These are such long wearing eyeliners. This black eyeliner is my holy grail gel eyeliner. Its such a great easy wear liner. In Spring season I wear a lot of colorful liners too, this season have been using green color. I have been using green liner as lid color or tight line or lower lid.

7. Essence I love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara. I really love this mascara. It gives great volume, length, and darkness. Clumps a little bit but not bad at all, the brush is good. I use it everyday and would definitely buy it again.

 

8. Epille Green Tea Cleanisng Tissues, These are amazing. They work really well and they're so cheap. They leave my face feeling so soft, and it removes all the oils, dirt, and makeup. It's also so amazing because  $1 for 30 wipes and $2 for 60 wipes, rather then having wipes around 5-7 dollars that don't even work. Plus it works for all skin types,it cannot beat that. I love that they come in variety of choices from cucumber, aloe, green tea, and others. I would totally buy these again.

9. Sexiest Fantasies body mist in Fireworks , its such a perfect body mist for spring season. Its pretty sensual odor. Its just $8 at CVS.

 

10. Lipsticks:- This spring season I have got some new lipsticks in my stash and have been using them every day.

a. Jordana Matte it Girl

b. Milani Matte Passion

c. Milani Rose Hip

d. Milani Pretty Natural

e. Black Radiance Hibiscus

f. Maybelline Color Elixir in Rose Redefined

11. Nail polishes In spring season I start using all bright orange , pink colors. This season I have mostly used these a lot. I have already posted a Manicure before using the lavender nail polish from Poparazi and glitter.

Forever 21 in purple Clear, WetnWild Blazed Poparazzi in Lovely in Liliac, Essie 1095, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Big Teal 325 , Essence Ultimate Pink , NYC Grand Central clear coat and Poparazi Cuticle Oil

  

12. Jergens BB Protect and BB Body, in spring don’t need any heavy sunscreen coats, just a sheer protections is good enough. I use this Jergens BB Protect cream which has SPF 15 which is good for over all body. It has sheer color like bb cream but does not change your skin color by any means. It smells really nice. I have already reviewed this on my blog, click here for detailed review.

13. Carmex Vanilla lip balm with spf 15, you always have to protect the lips also from sun. This is a perfect lip balm for spring, as it has sheer vanilla flavor.

Have any beauty suggestions for me or products you’ve loved this spring? Share in the comments below…

Memorial Day Nails

Hi Girls, I picked up this Sinful Colors Star Blast off Nail polish top coat from Walgreens. I wanted to pick this up as I loved the color combination of matte glitter it had. It has red, white and blue round glitter with different sizes and also has white stars.
This nail polish is part of new display of Having a Blast collection from Sinful Colors Professional.
I posted about this on my Instagram around two weeks ago. If you don’t follow me on Instagram, you are missing a lot of updates on drugstore products. I post a lot on my account, be sure to check it out.

I used here a blue base nail polish but this will look very pretty on white base, or red base too. May be on July 4th Nails I will try that too.

Beach / Mermaid Nails - Sally Hansen Triple Shine Make Waves 160

This is such a beautiful nail polish from this Sally Hansen Triple Shine Nail polish collection. I picked up recently last two of these colors from Walgreens, in clearance for $1.29 each, which was an amazing deal I think. It was actually for more than $8. This is such a pretty dual chrome nail polish in green blue color, which is perfect mermaid shade.

This sis just one coat, for these nail polish you actually have to do at least three coats for real mermaid color, below are the swatches for same. I love this beautiful nail polish in summer and spring. You can actually do waves nail art on it with stamping tool which will look really cool also. You can actually do these as beach nails too.

Summer Pastel Nailpolish - Swatches for Poparazzi Lovely in Lilac

 

Poparazzi  brand, this is only available at CVS. This was the first time I was trying this brand and decided to try this one as it was on super cheap sale. They are generally around $2.99 and they have a wide range of nail polishes with such a cute polka dot cap, really cute. This color is such a pretty pastel nail polish, it is such a calm color.

The only thing I didn’t like about them is the way they smell, it is awful. I just cannot bear the smell, so I am thinking to return it. Even when I removed this one, it smells horrible.

 

I have also reviewed Poparazzi Cuticle Oil Too Cute-icle  before, if you want to see click here.

Hope you liked my mini review on this brand. If you want to see other beauty related posts, don’t forget to connect with me on my social media. I post about drugstore products a lot.
