National Lipstick Day 2014

HAPPY NATIONAL LIPSTICK DAY EVERYONE! 

Yep, you didn't read that wrong, July 29th is National Lipstick Day. Today is a special day for lip junkies like myself. So to honor Lipstick Day, I wanna share with y'all my current favorite lipsticks. Since it's National LIPSTICK Day, and not National LIP PRODUCTS Day, I'll refrain from naming tinted lip balms, lip stains and so on, so forth.

I'll separate the lipsticks into categories of Nude, Coral, Pink, Berries and Sheer. Please keep in mind that this will not be a super long list, as most of my favorite lip products are lip stains. But here we go. :)

Throwback Thursday: Current Faves Perfect for Spring

Time is flying by at a rapid pace, or the week skipped and I wasn't aware or something because it it Thursday already. Time is seriously not kind when you get older. I remember when I was younger, I could not wait for the "long" week to be over, now it is the total opposite. Sigh...

Today's post will be a throwback, not that far back, just last couple of months back to prepare you for Spring. When I think of Spring, pastels, pinks, corals, soft colors generally come to mind. How lucky am I to have conveniently posted several posts about my current favorite products, which also happens to be Spring inspired as well.

If you love pink lips, this post is for you. It ranges from tinted lip balms to lip stick to balm stains so no matter what type of lip products you like, there's a pink shade recommended for you.

Soft pink lips are usually accompanied by fresh pink cheeks. In this post, I shared with ya'll my favorite pink and coral blush. Check it out if you are looking for a great, reliable blush to be your new favorite this Spring.

Lastly, I posted about my favorite eyeshadow palettes in Nude. I know it isn't really a Spring trend, but I mean, c'mon, it's Nude, it works year round right? This post is just a bunch of my current favorite nude palettes, mostly drug store and a few high end.

This is a bonus post. I change my manicure every week so it really is hard for me to have a favorite nail polish, but I do trust Sinful Colors and Wet N Wild to always deliver. So even if I haven't tried out these polishes yet, I still want to show you all them in case you want to purchase them yourself. They're fairly popular so you gotta be quick!

Have a great Thursday night everyone. Thank you for reading guys. :)

Throwback Thursday Song Of The Moment

Current Favorite Blush: Pink & Coral

Hi all! It's Thursday! Last stretch til the weekend. Today's post will be the third installment of my 'Current Favorite' series. First being my Pink Lip Products, Nude Eyeshadow Palettes being the second and this third one will be about Pink and Coral Blush.

I've noticed that I've recently used a lot of pink and coral blushes; by recent I mean the last month or month and a half. When it was the dead Winter's month, I was still mainly into berries and wine blushes. It's not even the fact that berries and wine shades were the trend, it was more so a feeling. The slightly darker shades seemed to match with the gloomy Winter weather. It makes sense right? Or am I just weird?...

Anyways, the Arizona weather decided that it didn't want to wait another 20 something days for Spring so it decided to go ahead with its own schedule. The temperature has been slowly rising the last two weeks, reaching mid-80s everyday. For everyday that it does not feel like Winter anymore, another "Winter product" gets put away; by now, everything Winter related has been snuggly tucked away. I can't say I miss them, I am too excited to pull out the pastels, corals, pinks, them Spring colors! Yay for happy colors!!

It is no surprise that my current favorite blushes are pinks and corals. Today I will share with you nine of them, all drug store products. The most "expensive" blush out of the nine is, if I remember correctly, $7 or $8; the cheapest one is $1.99.

Two of Milani's Baked Blush made it on my fave list, surprise surprise. Both of them are baked blush, Dolce Pink being the pinkie shade while Corallina is a bright coral shade. I love Milani's Baked Blush because no matter how light or dark the shades are, it will give you an instant goddess radiant glow, it must be the fine glitter swirl baked along with the blush pigment. I am super excited because they just came out with two new shades, cannot wait to get my hands on them.

Wet N Wild never fails to impress me when it comes to their eyeshadows and blushes...sometimes lip products too but that's another story. They have four shades in total from their Color Icon Blusher line, all of which I super love and use all the time but I love their matte shades just a tad more than their shimmers. Heather Silk isn't exactly pink, it's more of a soft berry but it is borderline and a great transition shade. Mellow Wine, contrary to its name, is not a wine color; it's more orangey. This shade in particular is SUPER pigmented, one dab of the brush is enough. Gosh, I have accidentally over-blushed with this shade a couple of time. It. Was. Ridiculous. For the price that Wet N Wild offers them, I wish they could come out with more shades. I know I would grab every single shade. If you're listening Wet N Wild, more blush please!!

The first reason why I decided to buy a Jane Cosmetic blush was because of the super cute design. I am a sucker for cute designs and packaging. I'm glad the blush wasn't a flop because I would have been super mad, but luckily the blush was super pigmented. I returned to Ulta the next week to pick up two more. Two of those three have made it onto my fave list. Pink Bouquet is a light pink while Berry Bouquet is a darker pink/soft berry, another one perfect for the transition phase. These two shades are matte, no glitter, no shimmer. Just give your brush a swirl around the pan to pick up every color.

If you read my post yesterday about my brushes, you'll probably remember the part where I raved and raved about ELF. They have a large selection, they're affordable and their quality is amazing for a drug store brand. That being said, Pink Passion is exactly what its name suggests. A bright, POW! BAM! in your face pink. But don't let what you see from the pan scare you from trying it out. It's the perfect pink blush to give you that flushed, innocent baby doll look.

I feel like I am repetitive or come across as pretentious when I keep saying I love every single product/brand I talk about, but guys, I am 100% honest here. These brands brought my make up experience to a whole new level of enjoyment. I mentioned that because this next blush is from NYX, my other favorite brands. I've mentioned, many, many times before that NYX never fails to impress me. I don't think they've ever came out with a product that I do not like or love. NYX is great when it comes to large color selections of shade ranges, which is always a plus. Their products are always innovative. I own a lot of their powder blush and I had a really hard time trying to choose just one. I almost did eny, meeny, miny mo to choose, but of course that just goes against my blog. I finally settled for Rose Garden, a beautiful pink with fine gold glitter within. Albeit it is not the most natural looking blush when applied, but it is the most fabulous indeed. When I put this one, I feel polished and well put together. It's like a little picker-upper for me.

Ahhh, Hard Candy...I cannot say I love everything they have out but you should totally try out their baked products if you haven't already. Their baked blush and baked shadows are my favorite amongst the baked products. I'm not sure how many baked blush they have out, but I own two, Living Doll and Honeymoon. Living Doll is my favorite; it is a baby pink blush, very shimmery. This is a lot like ELF Pink Passion, but it gives you a radiant glow also.

Current Favorite Lip Products: Pinkies

I love lip sticks, lip stains, lip balm; I am a lip-maniac. I have accumulated a whole lot of lip products over the years so I've had my fair share of great and not-so-great products. I try to use as many different brands, types and shades as I can. But when I'm in a hurry and I just want to grab a trustworthy, low maintenance product I can easily put on without needing to worry about if its too dry or it'll feather out.

My go to products changes quite often, but the products I'm talking about today has been the "it" choices for about a month now. You'll see that many of the shades are very similar in the Pinkie family. Pink is kinda my obsession right now, even though it's Winter and berries and wine colors are in.

I hope you enjoyed this long post. I had fun working on it. Please like or comment to let me know you like posts like this. Or follow to be notified of future posts. Thank you for reading guys. :)
