Sally Hansen has some Fall Shades and they ROCK!

Image
**Press Samples** Salon Manicure collection from Sally Hansen happens to be the owner of my all time favorite brushes. They make for the perfect application with out gooping or having to apply 10 different layers. I love that the bristles are thick and soft. Sally Hansen sent me two shades that are perfect for this upcoming fall weather! Sally Hansen's Fall Collection is a limited edition of 6 colors that are perfection for that sweater weather!  Lan-turn Up Sally Hansen describes this as a molten metallic chrome. I loooove this hybrid of gold, bronze flecked with shimmer. Metallics are still my go to when I am looking for a little sass in my world, especially those leaning gold.  Lan-turn Up wears softly. It doesn't have that abrasiveness of a traditional metallic. I actually have worn this several times and it's the perfect match for those big, oversized sweaters, cuffed jeans and booties.  Tagine Supreme I am totally in love with this color! I...

Yes, Part Duex of the Sophisticates Collection from Zoya

Image
**Press Samples** I am finally getting to show you the second part of the mega Sophisticates Collection from Zoya! Part one was filled with dusty colors that we all lust after for this fall! If you missed it, you can check it out right here !  This collection will yield that same theme.... gorgeousness!!! McKenna McKenna is described by Zoya as being a soft almond with with a refined pearl. I seem to be missing that iridescent that is shown on the Zoya website, but maybe it's a lighting thing? I am ok with the soft almond on it's own, because everyone needs an array of nude shades in their collection, but I wish it would have had the shimmer in it; now that I am seeing the picture online.   Mona This is a perfect example of lighting and what the same color looks like in different light settings. I was going to retake these pictures, but I thought it was so important since I have been seeing such different swatches of these colors especially on the website...

Seasonal Lip Color You Will Love from Zoya

Image
**Press Samples** Zoya has been cranking out some fantastic lip colors and I was so excited to see the lineup for their Seasonal line. Sticking with the dusty theme of their Sophisticates Collection, the colors in this collection are some of my personal favorites.  I will say that I am a little sad that there isn't a matte in the collection, but that's just my personal bias towards mattes that's giving me that sadness! Each of these colors applied smoothly and felt just as smooth during wear. Tommy was the only color that gave me a little bit of a struggle during appellation, but I feel like that goes with any deep, dark purple, black or blue. That's deep pigment makes for tricky application. I found it best to apply in continuous stokes in the same direction so you don't get the pigment balled up.  💜Bristol is a medium berry tone that has pink undertones. 💜Izzy is a little brighter than Bristol which Zoya describes as a deep fuchsia. 💜Addie is a b...

Zoya is Ringing in the Fall with the Sophisticates Collection

Image
**Press Samples**  I seriously love all Fall collections! The creep into my world of vampiness is just so crisp and sleek. The among of mauves and muted colors this season are sooo awesomely ridiculous that I can almost not even handle it! I decided to break these collection down into two parts for you so you can seriously enjoy!  Beth Sandy is kind of a mixed bag for me. The bottle shot on the Zoya website shows this as being a super pale, iridescent pink. To my surprise, it's more like a champagne gold as opposed to the pictorial description of the pink glitz. I am so sad! It's still a super pretty color, but not what I thought at all. I do love that there's a lighter gold in this collection because it's matches perfectly with all of those dusty pinks. What's better than a dusty pink and gold combination?? Nothing! lol Hera Zoya describes Hera as a muted red mauve creme. I say muter watermelon! Let's call this a muted Winne (from Wande...

Sephora Play! Box September is Ohhhhhhh!

Image
**Bought It** Now that summer is coming to an end, I am feeling quite sad. One of the things that makes me a little bit less glum is all of the fun fall products and goodies that are about to drop. Sephora Play! Box started a little fall preview with their September box.  Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Since I stopped my Ipsy bag, I have had depleted my eyeliner collection. Don't get me wrong, I still have a ton left, but it's significantly less than a stockpile! I a glad that I got to add another liner to my pile and a great liner to boot! It is quick drying and has an awesome precision felt tip. Sephora gives a tip for using this product, which also happens to be my new favorite way to use liquid liner. Instead of a straight line, I dot it along my lash line to create the same look. It wears less on the tip and looks just the same.  Clean Reserve Sel Santal and Citron Fig I am a HUGE fan of anything fro Clean Reserve so I am sooooo happ...

Julie G Bohemian Dreams Collection from Jesse's Girl

Image
**Press Samples** Bohemian Dreams Collection from Julie G is here with a special edition wooden handle and some oh so awesome shades! There are 6 creme colors that are natural shades. I am absolutely in love with every single color and I can't wait to start rocking these come September 1st. September 1st is my Fall go date and dusty shades is all I'm rocking! Henna This is a beautiful plum brown color that is very close to the red pull in real henna. This color is gorgeous. The dusty, oh so close to brown, is attractive without being too, well brown.  Karma This beautiful sky blue color, has just a tinge of dust to it. I was a little worried about having smurf cuticles after removing this color, but I was happy to find out it didn't stain.  Two coats of each of these provided a nice smooth, full coverage. I really am loving this color combination, too!   Faith This color is a creamy, dusty watermelon pink. It leans p...
