Hello, beauties.
A few days ago, on a little ULTA adventure, I was browsing through the polishes. As per usual, I found a few I liked and ended up putting them back because I didn't need them that bad. The only single polish I bought was China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint. It's a gorgeous pale mint color. But, then I saw it. The $12.50 OPI Spiderman Collection Sample Pack. This I needed.
The sample pack comes with four samples in mini sizes. Side note; can someone explain to me why you wouldn't just buy sample packs? You get four polishes for the price of one and a half. Plus, no one ever really uses up a polish anyway! Okay, focus... Back to what I was saying. The pack comes with four polishes; Into The Night, Number One Nemesis, Just Spotted The Lizard, and Your Web or Mine?. The box is also soft of flashy, complete with Spiderman on the front.
I had previously checked out the colors online and Number One Nemesis was a stand out from the beginning. I don't understand why Your Web or Mine? is even in this collection. When I think Spiderman, I don't usually think shiny pink. Just Spotted the Lizard is an amazing duo chrome color with greens and yellows. According to other reviews, it's an exact dupe for Peridot by Chanel. Finally, Into The Night is a sparkly blue. This color is something I'm usually drawn to, but it's not unlike many other colors that have been popular lately. It wasn't really a stand out for me.
Overall, I think that everyone should go check it out though. For the price, the sample pack is definitely worth your while. You can find it at any ULTA store or online.
Have you tried OPI's Spiderman Collection? What was your favorite color?

Hello, beauties.
Over the last couple of days, I've become obsessed with the Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balms. I know I'm a little late to the party with this product, but it's better late than never. As of right now, I own three of them (Pink Punch, Cherry Me, and Grape Vine) and plan on purchasing all six in the near future. I'm especially excited to get one of the clear ones because I'm the type of person who will sit with a lip balm and mindlessly swipe it over my lips for an hour. If you weren't aware, four out of the six Baby Lips flavors are tinting. I find myself getting up from my laptop with bright pink lips. :P
Once I get one or two more, I will do a review. I'm also considering doing a comparison of Baby Lips vs. the Revlon Lip Butters. So many people on these here interwebs have talked about each of these products, so I'm anxious to see if the Lip Butters can live up to the hype. I've never tried them. Just based upon first impressions, however, (and watching lots of review videos) I feel as though I'm still going to end up liking the Baby Lips slightly more. From what I understand they're more moisturizing than the butters, have SPF whereas the lip butters do not, and, although not as pigmented as the lip butters, they're very buildable. I can't wait to add a few more products to my makeup collection so I can do that review for you all.
What do you think of the products I've mentioned? Let me know!

Hello, beauties.
Today, I wanted to show you a quick, cute idea I had for summer nails. Let's get started!
I like to call this gradient nails because essentially you're making a gradient across your nails. It's a great idea if you're someone who, like me, has tons of nail polishes and don't use all of them. First, you're going to want to choose two colors that are similar. I chose blue and green. This was especially easy for me because my favorite color is aqua/teal so I have a lot of polishes that shade. Next, pick out five different polishes that create a gradient from one color to the other. Finally, paint your nails and make sure to keep the colors in order. Add a top coat and you're done!
Enjoy this simple, easy nail and let me know if you try it out. :)

P.S. I know I missed a trend of the week this week. I'll make up for it next Thursday! Make sure to check back for it. :)
