Pacifica 7 Free Nail Color Trio...Yes I Said 7 FREE!

Image
**Press Sample** Hello my lovelies!!! I have had an extremely loooong weekend!! I got sick on Friday and then my son got sick. So, we have been one giant sick house. I am hoping this weather turns around soon so that we can start to air out this house and we can all feel better. Of course, since I am feeling better I wanted to play with some polish. I recently was sent 3 polishes from the Spring 2016 Pacifica Collection. There are 12 colors in total plus a glossy and a matte top coat. They are $9 each and you can find them at Ulta!! "This high power, high color trifecta will make your nails bloom with color"...wait 7 FREE NAIL COLOR!!! along with all Pacifica products, this one is 100% Vegan, Cruelty- Free, and not test on animals. Do you know what that 7 Free is all about? If not, I'll tell you about it. This means it's free from 7 different chemicals that may be known to cause cancer, allergic reactions and general toxicity. Now, if you use these chemicals...

KB Shimmer Spring Collection is Blooming with Glitz

Image
**Press Samples** Ohhh hello Spring... well my calendar says Spring BUT the weather outside says WINTER.... I'm not happy about it but all of these pretty Spring collections coming out have me not minding it too much. I'll be showing off two Spring collections this week. First up is KB Shimmer. I am such a huge fan of KB Shimmer. They continually put out quality polish and the customer service is the best I have come across in the indie community lately. I have two, yes only two (sorry!), color from the Spring 2016 collection. There are 14 colors in total plus some decals and mani shots.  NIGHT BRIGHT  This is one of the 7 "Mega Flame" holo shades. They are jam packed with micro holo glitters in a tinted base. This may be my favorite color from the collection.    This is super loaded, like supppppper loaded. If you like your linear holos, this is not for you. Scattered is the name of this little lady's game. It actually applied really smoothly. I ...

Fresh Spring Look from L'Oreal

Image
**Press Samples** So, I sent this out to my Snapchat crew and they got to pick which look they wanted to see. I decided to do a sassy, bold look instead of a light and airy spring look.   I added lots of highlights and contours to this to get ready for summer. I also added this hot pink lippy to give it a fresh look and get us out of that winter slump! The Infallible Matte Gloss is more of a lipstick than a gloss. Since it does dry matte, it is not sticky and is very easy to work with. It does leave a stain, which I really like because it is very long lasting.  I am loving the way this pink and blue came together. The navy liner really pulled this entire look together, too.I will say that the Gel Cream formula from the Matte Navy Infallible Matte-Matic Mechanical eyeliner is so nice to work with. It stays in place all day. Funny story- I swatched it on my arm and it actually stayed for three days through soap and water washing. I actually had to use real makeu...

Zoya Petals Has Me Singing In the Notes of Spring

Image
**Press Samples** Today, I have the beautifully, delicate Petals 2016 collection from Zoya . This is inspired by the gardens of Spring. The vibrant collection invites you to revel in the beauty of the season. I do have a couple favorites in this collection and I love the varying finishes. Zoya did this collection really good!!! Leia  This little lady is my favorite of the collection. I am not sure if it's because it's so versatile or if it's because it's a shifter. Either way, it's gorgeous!  Zoya describes this as a "sheer opalescent white with flecks of fuchsia, green and gold". They do suggest that this can be layered over the other colors, which I did! If you check out SZIZZY12184 on snapchat, you can see all my pretty creations.  Zahara This is a super pretty coral with a shimmering opalescent effect throughout the polish. Zahara reminds me of a hot simmering sun and this reflects this perfectly.   I haven't tried t...

A Few of My Favorite L'Oreal Colour Riche Monos Spring Colors

Image
**Press Samples**  I'm starting to pull out my "spring colors" and get ready to let those pastels sing songs on my makeup colors! L'Oreal just happened to send me a nice mixture of colors and I picked out the "springy" ones to show you. I will be doing a super springy look this week, so stay tuned to Snapchat (szizzy12184) for all that jazzy, jazz.  First, the formula of the Colour Riche Eye Shadows from L'Oreal vary for the type of finish. They are all super creamy and all blend out great! I have used about 8 of them so far and I have not had a bad one. There is so much product packed into one little compact, too. These are seriously going to last me forever.  These two are Sunset Seine and Argentic . They are both a shimmer finish. Sunset Seine is a orangish, bronze color shade. I have been loving all of the metallics this year so this goes in my spring back. This also blends out to a light enough color that is is a super, pretty pa...
