As promised here is the other half of Zoya's fall collection, Flair, which perfectly encompasses the jewel tones we all love for the season. The neat thing about these polishes is that each one was made with micro-ground metallic pigment to have the effect of molten metal. You tell me if you think it's true after looking at the swatches!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The formula for these was easy to apply. I did 3 coats on most all swatches but it didn't seem like a chore to build the color up.</div>

Hey everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sally Hansen has recently released a new version of their Miracle Gel topcoat. It claims to add twice the volume and shine to your completed manicure. Kind of sounds like a hair commercial! ha...I do feel like this topcoat does deliver on the claims. I wore one of these polishes for about 4 days and the shine factor was definitely noticeable.</div>

So Sally Hansen also released a couple of new collections in the Miracle Gel line and I have 5 of those to share with you today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First up, is <b>Totem-ly Yours</b>. A light tan/nude. This is 2 coats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Rhythm and Blue</b> is a sky blue with a slightly periwinkle twist. 2 coats.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Tribal Sun </b>is a bright coral-y orange. 2 coats.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievUQSqJhVxVpcJptkbzyH0zrMLv9hlcpNg9ooLdViGYYA_YVXEcN0Jq5peCu_ovmCMNWWBcu0v9ZSLZNxtLWIK2ZlqECh818E-UvX7wNwAUpoTBuxHuRe5grk-wpR5xBr2PmaNi8EXRc/s1600/mgel3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="566" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEievUQSqJhVxVpcJptkbzyH0zrMLv9hlcpNg9ooLdViGYYA_YVXEcN0Jq5peCu_ovmCMNWWBcu0v9ZSLZNxtLWIK2ZlqECh818E-UvX7wNwAUpoTBuxHuRe5grk-wpR5xBr2PmaNi8EXRc/s640/mgel3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Miss Wanderlust </b>is a coral with copper and silver glitters. This is 3 coats.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFMKUVCFbOumw-11Pd0o5FaBfeWvs_6AaMsDI4R2lvVq5VEfLuGP_N8v6fAJytdxbD7vSArBugE0BY5zu7dIYF1qMoe4fTOZLuZ-44kIXO2LEmAh40cBTDRMy1QuVjI5ED9zvqZV_uSw/s1600/mgel4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBFMKUVCFbOumw-11Pd0o5FaBfeWvs_6AaMsDI4R2lvVq5VEfLuGP_N8v6fAJytdxbD7vSArBugE0BY5zu7dIYF1qMoe4fTOZLuZ-44kIXO2LEmAh40cBTDRMy1QuVjI5ED9zvqZV_uSw/s640/mgel4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And finally, <b>Boho a-Go-Go</b>, a deep eggplant. 2 coats. This is the one I wore for a few days and it was a surprise favorite! Dark but not too dark and the shine and depth from the topcoat really did this shade justice.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheQvS2PNgt0WZWogbz7LJL82o7lAYTdZBfQ_Vm7yEOcGslhRa0uYKbLoKFUOH3hoTMzF1T-0mqfyJP6x-FbAO3a7cxbV9H3ugXXU5ip6JPYvOBX_Aq-X3QkEzae5Bbqd9eRwNNKpkkd-c/s1600/mgel5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheQvS2PNgt0WZWogbz7LJL82o7lAYTdZBfQ_Vm7yEOcGslhRa0uYKbLoKFUOH3hoTMzF1T-0mqfyJP6x-FbAO3a7cxbV9H3ugXXU5ip6JPYvOBX_Aq-X3QkEzae5Bbqd9eRwNNKpkkd-c/s640/mgel5.jpg" width="628" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Just from general reading online about the Miracle Gel line, it seems like getting a gel-like longevity from this system varies from person to person. But I do feel that appearance of a finished Miracle Gel mani is similar to that of an actual gel mani, especially with the new topcoat.<br />
<br />
Gel factors aside, my experience with the formula of the gel polishes has left me super impressed. So if you're just looking for an awesome quality nail polish at the drugstore, I would definitely recommend the Miracle Gel line, which happens to be pretty extensive.<br />
<br />
You should be able to find these along with other new shades now anywhere Sally Hansen is sold for around $9.99.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SinfulColors is back this fall with a back to school collection! There is something for everyone in this extensive collection with different finishes in a whole array of shades.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have 9 shades to share with you from this 27 polish collection. I was originally sent 10 but one was a duplicate. Some of these are new shades and others are from the core collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Casablanca </b>is a silver frosty metallic. If not for the visible brushstrokes, this would be a true metallic. It dries quickly and only took 2 coats.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Ice Dream</b> is a blue and silver glitter topper. I layered one coat over Casablanca. This one would be a pretty winter polish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB2cO3-rOtUnSeHmYBUzbsvbka7n3TRvCoCJ6Z-6ZsH-JO_KJw0SYBQxKCZd68D7NfH9rJvpvTH9_G5dhTjdRrpDifQCIn0FzGybSnkBzRX9ShGolXNb2PC1CzYQwsbo7eU3kFRWgXvxk/s1600/sinfulc1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB2cO3-rOtUnSeHmYBUzbsvbka7n3TRvCoCJ6Z-6ZsH-JO_KJw0SYBQxKCZd68D7NfH9rJvpvTH9_G5dhTjdRrpDifQCIn0FzGybSnkBzRX9ShGolXNb2PC1CzYQwsbo7eU3kFRWgXvxk/s640/sinfulc1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Glass Pink</b> is also a part of the core collection and happens to be one of the first SinfulColors polishes I owned. I did 4 coats for my swatch below but this also can go over just about any other polish in 1 coat and add a beautiful dimensional shimmer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJsHbKizrz4McOhatyGNjO3m8I2De6glu8yEd3bkOjp4ZHUUHYmPoM9WwWgcJjg6rmZHb0cOZk0X9YpegG3RYmGW_tQMyYpPufBeWDRct_VPtVnnbg_WK5SXdfUWNbFhWg5DPNyWUX1M/s1600/sinfulc2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="588" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJsHbKizrz4McOhatyGNjO3m8I2De6glu8yEd3bkOjp4ZHUUHYmPoM9WwWgcJjg6rmZHb0cOZk0X9YpegG3RYmGW_tQMyYpPufBeWDRct_VPtVnnbg_WK5SXdfUWNbFhWg5DPNyWUX1M/s640/sinfulc2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Pink Break</b> is a demi matte finish, light dusty pink. I waited for a while to make sure this was dried down to the intended finish but it still looks pretty shiny to me. The texture does look a bit rubbery to me though. The formula was nice and smooth, easy to apply.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSxvYd0rJcHO5fTEwVWd-Qaw8j_ul8afkEQ2jnHfOXurIMg7DJvQoBLYmui90BhRY_kVrZR8rvR3wxQHm6oPkvl2pUr0Psq80Xkp5dShVEVkkBq5RWPV09Xh26cfIUBE6XbHShwypxko/s1600/sinfulc3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXSxvYd0rJcHO5fTEwVWd-Qaw8j_ul8afkEQ2jnHfOXurIMg7DJvQoBLYmui90BhRY_kVrZR8rvR3wxQHm6oPkvl2pUr0Psq80Xkp5dShVEVkkBq5RWPV09Xh26cfIUBE6XbHShwypxko/s640/sinfulc3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Over Pink Break, I layered one coat of <b>Sinful Sunrise</b>. This is a sheer topper with iridescent shards and glitters. The shards weren't as obnoxious as other shard polishes I have tried. They lay flat against the nail which I appreciated.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsx2CDRymxzk-iwpAfwXJi_pO4ekfPIO_vflbHouiwxgqzovhy9KioM5cC46ipAyHDUHdfrTQNBR38-Tn7pbYatcr7L6jWPvlznIY-9xNANtCs_9rMyt0nFxB2caxjDia6XxcYDcAPa-4/s1600/sinfulc4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsx2CDRymxzk-iwpAfwXJi_pO4ekfPIO_vflbHouiwxgqzovhy9KioM5cC46ipAyHDUHdfrTQNBR38-Tn7pbYatcr7L6jWPvlznIY-9xNANtCs_9rMyt0nFxB2caxjDia6XxcYDcAPa-4/s640/sinfulc4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Next up, another demi matte finish polish in a bright lavender shade, <b>Truth or Lavendare</b>. As opposed to Pink Break, this one dried to a more obvious demi matte finish. Easy formula to work with as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzDcdJEfHU3Lh58cw2CcZ9Lq5h3HB7njayHFEN3tcvegpNu2-u8uWZFtuu5Ye5nKUzOngp2hG1zYku1OI_yLV51gr5L-OEKwtlqM-65alv0gcLAohk24_NttSM4S64w60888sBi6gWmsU/s1600/sinfulc5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="538" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzDcdJEfHU3Lh58cw2CcZ9Lq5h3HB7njayHFEN3tcvegpNu2-u8uWZFtuu5Ye5nKUzOngp2hG1zYku1OI_yLV51gr5L-OEKwtlqM-65alv0gcLAohk24_NttSM4S64w60888sBi6gWmsU/s640/sinfulc5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Over Truth or Lavendare, another iridescent glitter topper in a sheer purple base, Night Owl. Even though the base looks purple, I bet you could layer this over any color and it wouldn't change the shade.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmAtQEhDwqG23b9pq9-F4HixC0YK24Mmq5SkI5gNn8NmofI8kJD84jFAfNBToWEcZe4EK7QyeKXpDe83-pN_H-yHV9QhYhJKtvcOXzQaHxbZ8vANNtKikRpG6W1RKpDHA-rRVmaQN2Eo/s1600/sinfulc6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglmAtQEhDwqG23b9pq9-F4HixC0YK24Mmq5SkI5gNn8NmofI8kJD84jFAfNBToWEcZe4EK7QyeKXpDe83-pN_H-yHV9QhYhJKtvcOXzQaHxbZ8vANNtKikRpG6W1RKpDHA-rRVmaQN2Eo/s640/sinfulc6.jpg" width="622" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>24/7</b>...back in the day this was my very first SinfulColors polish! But the thing that makes me sad is that back then 24/7 was the perfect bright neon pink which was why I gravitated to it. Now, 24/7 is a run of the mill medium pink shade. The formula is pretty great though, so that's good.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_tn_B00Z7Tw0GndSprIuLQHwG3sNRALcWXKNUmkx8mE2CtQMD9QPQs-1puXrT50WFu_qbB-L9U8jtNc-PZU8esWHHwmiOqQ20lcAHmqXEnF1YurjPoA21jXeDqJCdy2NUVbGDRvMrO4A/s1600/sinfulc7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="552" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_tn_B00Z7Tw0GndSprIuLQHwG3sNRALcWXKNUmkx8mE2CtQMD9QPQs-1puXrT50WFu_qbB-L9U8jtNc-PZU8esWHHwmiOqQ20lcAHmqXEnF1YurjPoA21jXeDqJCdy2NUVbGDRvMrO4A/s640/sinfulc7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And finally, we have one more iridescent glitter topper, <b>Late Night Haute</b>. I layered this over Zoya Cecelia.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3p_vYCxzqVe0HcHY9OPcxqj1S-Gff268zhjOa-0Nadc5ELHFCBpSFUeuY2RXXJL14Qzc6F3SlS6uulELUmZhi65ev4bLKTMidJ7b6u7EI9Og7ZrZkCrF2wF_nPMeCiYqKmaKRiKvetU8/s1600/sinfulc8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3p_vYCxzqVe0HcHY9OPcxqj1S-Gff268zhjOa-0Nadc5ELHFCBpSFUeuY2RXXJL14Qzc6F3SlS6uulELUmZhi65ev4bLKTMidJ7b6u7EI9Og7ZrZkCrF2wF_nPMeCiYqKmaKRiKvetU8/s640/sinfulc8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And that's all I've got! It's hard to go wrong with SinfulColors. Most all colors have a great formula and there is a wide range of shades and finishes at an amazing price. This collection should be popping up in Walgreens stores now and will retail for $1.99.<br />
<br />
Are you going to be picking up any from the A Class Act collection?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
YSL has recently released 2 new products to their Touche Eclat line. The Blur Primer and Blur Perfector. Let's take a look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Blur Perfector has 3 uses. It can be used alone to give a subtle smoothing effect, dabbed over makeup as a finisher, or used as touch up throughout the day. This seems to be a solidified silicone type primer in a compact (which is super chic btw). The difference is that is has a powder finish that makes it a good mattifier during the day. The main way I use this is under makeup. However, it's great alone for days when you don't feel like doing much to your face.</div>

<br />
The Blur Primer is a silicone based primer that's got a golden shimmer suspended in it. It looks so pretty in the bottle! This is a sample size, but if you purchase this you will get a pump instead of the spatula on the lid. This is a very moisturizing primer because it is formulated with 4 oils. It does help boost dewiness as well. My skin is pretty oily so I can't say it's a holy grail status for me but since it's summer I have been embracing my naturally dewy skin and using this doesn't make my skin over the top oily. I do think it could blur pores better but it still preps skin really well for makeup.<br />

I think it's safe to say ombre is the trend of the decade. From hair to home decor, you can find it anywhere! Sally Hansen just released a line of polishes to help you achieve the ombre look on your nails. I really love the look of a glitter gradient on nails and it's a go to look for me, so I was excited to give these a try! The bottle says to apply one coat to the full nail, wait a minute and apply a second coat starting at the middle of the nail, wait a minute and apply a third coat to just the tips. </div>

<br />
My thoughts: I really like the subtle and delicate look these give to bare nails. I find that it took some extra dabbing here and there to get an obvious gradient look. I also didn't bring the first coat all the way down the nail because I feel like that contributes to the overall gradient look better. These polishes can easily be layered over another color for a different look. I will be posting that on my Instagram (mynailgraffiti) soon. The formula was very thin and easy to work with, especially for a glitter.<br />
<br />
The only complaint I have is that it can be hard to get a true gradient look with just the one size of glitter in this bottle. I think these would have been even better if it came with a second bottle of slightly larger glitters to use at the tip to mid point. But that said, I feel like it's harder to find bottles of superfine glitters (as opposed to larger glitters) like these to use in a gradient look so they are very helpful to use in achieving it.<br />
<br />
This collection is limited edition and retails for around $6/bottle.<br />

If you appreciate the longevity that the Miracle Gel line offers, this collection has some great picks for summer color. These retail for about 9.99/bottle and can be found anywhere Sally Hansen is sold.<br />

I've got the other half of Zoya's summer collection today, called Paradise Sun. These polishes all have a shimmer, though it's not all the same type like Zoya typically does in a collection. So that's kind of cool they are mixing it up but I do like when everything matches. ;)</div>

It's time for a new collection from Zoya! After all my years of polish collecting, I still look forward to what they have in store for each season. Today, I'm showing you the Island Fun collection and I'll have the Paradise Sun collection up soon!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The running theme I noticed in these is that they are all very saturated colors. Lots of depth. A cool take on the summer brights we usually see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Jace </b>is a grassy green. This was the wateriest of the bunch. I did 3 coats.</div>

<br />
<b>Talia</b> is a deep blue/turquoise shade. 2 coats. Since I was swatching these all at once, I took this polish off as soon as I was happy with a photo of it and in the maybe 5 minutes I had it on, there was some major staining happening. On the nail and on the skin during removal. Hopefully a base coat would help that issue (I don't use one while swatching).<br />

<b>Serenity</b> is a lovely purple shade. It's leaning a lot more blue here than it is in person though. Darn purples are so hard to photograph! 2 coats.<br />

I'm a fan of nail appliqués when they are cute and easy to apply. In my experience, the ones made from real nail polish are the easiest to apply and most natural looking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today I am showing you some designs from It's a Nail by Incoco. I had no issues applying these and I actually enjoyed the process...and that's not been the case with a number of other strips I've tried in the past! It wasn't difficult for me to find the correct sized strip for each nail and they smooth on quite nicely...no bubbles or ripples at the edges. Just remember to be careful when handling them because they are thin and can rip easily with too much adjusting. I only experienced that a couple times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can never find a nail strip that perfectly covers my very curved, wide nails. There's usually a little space left uncovered on the sides of some nails and while the It's a Nail strips still left an uncovered edge, it was minimal. That said, I always paint a matching base color with polish before I apply any strips. This also helps with keeping my tips wrapped, an area strips don't really cover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I tried 3 designs and here they are!</div>

I am currently wearing Rock n Roll. I applied them on Sunday, so it's almost been a week and there has been no chipping or peeling. Very impressed.<br />
<br />
You can purchase the It's a Nail appliqués from <a href="http://itsanail.com/">itsanail.com</a>. Besides nail art designs, there are solid colors and accent nails to choose from. Best part? A full manicure set is only $7.99!<br />
<br />

More awesome new products from Jordana to share with you today! These are liquid liners in an 8 shade range. There are some really fun, bright colors along with some more wearable, everyday shades. </div>

I really love colored eyeliner for summertime. It's such a quick and simple way to add something to your face without all the blending and layering eyeshadow can require. And when it's super hot outside, you usually don't want to be piling it on anyway!</div>

I've worn a lot of these shades and have been pretty impressed! They apply easily and smoothly and have lasting power all day. I will warn you that the shade Twilight stained my lids even over primer and shadow which I was surprised about but I love the shade so much I don't think that it's a deal breaker. ;)<br />
<br />
If the brighter, lighter shades intimidate you or don't define your eyes enough, my favorite trick is to do a double liner look with a black liner closest to the lash line. That way you get the definition that makes only a dark liner can give, but you get the bright color pop as well. I did this on my eyes below using Orchid.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">*Press Sample*</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's no secret Jordana has some serious gems hiding at the drugstore. I've got some new ones to show you today! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Matte lipsticks have been a major trend this year and the Modern Matte line has got you covered! There is a huge range of shades to choose from and the formula is amazing. Matte lipsticks have really come a long way in terms of comfortable wear and these are right up there. Of course, you always want to exfoliate your lips and wear a light balm for a while before applying. If you do that, you get a pretty smooth application. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once on the lips, wear time for me is almost 4 hours before needing a touch up. Even then, it was just that- a touch up. Most of the color was still on my lips from my original application, even through eating and drinking! These are not extremely drying on the lips either. If I noticed my lips needed a little something during the day I would lightly apply a clear balm on top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's look at the shades! These first 12 were sent to me first, and I recently recieved 6 more shades to round out this collection to 18! I love the packaging. For a budget brand, it's not too cheap looking at all. I like that the tube perfectly matches the actual lipstick inside. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b>Sardinia</b> is a coral shade. It's sheer but buildable to where you can cover most of your natural lip color. With both these shades there is a lot of obvious glitter/shimmer so the look may not be for everyone.</div>

<b>Venice</b> is a light nude pink with lots of silvery shimmer. On me, I feel like it's very sheer and could add glitter and shine over any color without changing it. This has a very metallic look with all the silvery glitter particles. Very pretty!<br />

I almost forgot to mention the scent! I am so obsessed with the way these smell! It's a yummy vanilla cake batter scent reminiscent of Lip Smackers Vanilla Frosting lip gloss which I worshipped as a 12 year old. haha I want to reach for these glosses for the scent alone.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned before, the high glitter/shimmer content may not be for everyone's taste. It's not what I typically reach for but these aren't gritty or glittery in the traditional way that makes people shy away from them, so that makes them worth a shot!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sinful Colors is probably my favorite drugstore nail polish brand. I have 5 from a handful of new collections they have put out for spring 2015 to show you today! Let's take a look!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are 3 polishes total in the Opalescent Trend Toppers collection and this one is called <b>Prized Plume</b>. It's a sheer shimmer packed teal. I layered 2 coats over both black and white. As you can see, this is very versatile and gives 2 very different looks! I think the layering possibilities are endless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
From the Citrus Twist Toppers collection, I have Zest of Times and Horizon Shine. I really love these!<br />
<br />
<b>Zest of Times </b>is a bright pink shimmer fleck topper that has some color shifting abilities. Below, I layered 2 coats over a medium pink creme, white, and black. I am obsessed with this over black! I did a full mani with it that I'll show you at the end of this post.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYvQhuAVw2yIfzD6McCgaUV4vEPTAW1Mh_VljuPnkYw2G5ET6cjy6B46R49X1ALD4aKz7jVBlcggyc9dDpBGa2PRuLLo7yW3i6pkEilGcN1XGHqza861uAR9L_l0Rd_VC6r41GRRWEmtc/s1600/sinfultopper2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYvQhuAVw2yIfzD6McCgaUV4vEPTAW1Mh_VljuPnkYw2G5ET6cjy6B46R49X1ALD4aKz7jVBlcggyc9dDpBGa2PRuLLo7yW3i6pkEilGcN1XGHqza861uAR9L_l0Rd_VC6r41GRRWEmtc/s1600/sinfultopper2.jpg" height="524" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Horizon Shine</b> is a bright red-orange topper with same color shifting flecks. Again, I layered this over a matching bright red-orange creme, white, and black.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6rwxU6cjNnhlBUQUCiw3CmQ4lWEPOWmd0CdKF-BbAn8ZF8RWxt-d60fgxqyLz82N_sSAYwkwFVYV6Bc0D9bJ9z_Rm-WDmr9DUDdXty1sCgzz2RGseQI3z16v9tKCApzhXogmUAj6HtE/s1600/sinfultopper3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6rwxU6cjNnhlBUQUCiw3CmQ4lWEPOWmd0CdKF-BbAn8ZF8RWxt-d60fgxqyLz82N_sSAYwkwFVYV6Bc0D9bJ9z_Rm-WDmr9DUDdXty1sCgzz2RGseQI3z16v9tKCApzhXogmUAj6HtE/s1600/sinfultopper3.jpg" height="528" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And the final collection is Bloomblast Glitter. These all have the indie polish feel.<br />
<br />
<b>Flower Power</b>. I layered this over Zoya Dot which is pretty sheer on it's own but was a nice base for this also sheer topper. Very delicate and pretty!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJvRyAgmVJD-n8WpusHNwshcbbRWH3okYpJgBwRhnUmhShq2AvZni3l6jA2xXZkYuNATka9UQXXOnKTcyNu4tC7-E24I1e0X1U1envwVTISLguozroo6Z1_AD7_HJZPv_vkOSoR06WpYU/s1600/sinfultopper4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJvRyAgmVJD-n8WpusHNwshcbbRWH3okYpJgBwRhnUmhShq2AvZni3l6jA2xXZkYuNATka9UQXXOnKTcyNu4tC7-E24I1e0X1U1envwVTISLguozroo6Z1_AD7_HJZPv_vkOSoR06WpYU/s1600/sinfultopper4.jpg" height="616" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And finally, <b>Petal Be the Day</b>. This one looks milky in the bottle but applies more like a clear base would. I did 2 coats over Zoya Prim. Very mermaid-like!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzcfU88vde3qkKiHUkw7lHvOlELbyJdkEtrNZOVIjnzayxvLPb7m1t1cRo5bDGnbixKiEd0bx8ov7olxkEl9laQYbiAJ8trA45WAmPH0okOxS2wF4P_AzNylW9jQKiWV7KPBfC1NKnJ90/s1600/sinfultopper5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzcfU88vde3qkKiHUkw7lHvOlELbyJdkEtrNZOVIjnzayxvLPb7m1t1cRo5bDGnbixKiEd0bx8ov7olxkEl9laQYbiAJ8trA45WAmPH0okOxS2wF4P_AzNylW9jQKiWV7KPBfC1NKnJ90/s1600/sinfultopper5.jpg" height="516" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And here is the full mani I ended up doing with Zest of Times because I loved it so much over black. I put a row of lavender glequins on top. I love the edgy but girly look this has!<br />
<br />

<br />
Blackest Blue, Tantalizing Teal, and Khaki. This may be just me, but I feel like the Khaki shade would be good for contouring the nose because of the small liner tip and cool gray toned color. I need to try that soon!<br />

<br />
These are decent liners but not my absolute favorite. They glide on pretty smoothly and are good for beginners because they don't set quickly which leaves room to fix errors. But because of this the lasting power isn't amazing. I do get transfer on my upper lid throughout the day which I don't like. I like the new shade choices but I wish the formula was just a bit more long-lasting.<br />
<br />
These are $2.50 at Jordana.com.<br />
<br />
Jordana has also expanded their Fabubrow line with 3 new shades. Each pencil comes with a mini brow comb. I still prefer a spoolie and angled brush for blending but in a pinch this does ok. I like that these shades aren't as red toned as the existing shades in this line.<br />

These do a decent job of filling in brows. I do wish the pencil was more waxy though. Still a great budget friendly option at $2.99!<br />

Jordana has some exciting new releases for 2015 and I'm going to be sharing them with you here on the blog over the next little bit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love cream blushes. They are super flattering and natural. Even though I have oily skin, I can usually wear cream blushes without issue. Jordana is adding to their Color Tint Blush stick line with 6 new shades. They are all very wearable despite how bright some look.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The sticks fit in the palm of my hand and are very travel friendly. They come in little twist up tubes with a clear lid. You can apply these directly to your face and blend with your finger or a brush, or you can pick the product up straight from the tube with a brush for a little more control. That is my preferred method.<br />
<br />

These are slightly blended out but you can sheer them out even more with more blending.<br />

As you can see these can be sheered out to a nice subtle look or you can do less blending to get a brighter flush.<br />
<br />
I would definitely recommend picking these up, especially if you are new to cream blushes. Or have a cream blush obsession the way I do. ;) Best part is that they are only $2.99! I love the shade selection and formula of these as well.<br />

These blushes are all very pigmented and super smooth. I can see them working for most skin tones because of this. I am on the lighter side and have to use a light hand or else things can go overboard pretty quick! I find that using my ELF Small Stippling brush is perfect for layering on the product. An added bonus is that the lovely rose design isn't going to disappear after a few uses. It's very much a part of the overall blush.<br />
<br />
I love that these are matte because that plays well with my super oily skin type. These blushes last quite a while on me too.<br />
<br />

<br />
I think my favorite is Coral Cove. It provides a bright (but not too bright if you use a light hand), healthy flush to my skin.<br />
<br />
These are pretty much perfect blushes in terms of quality, pigmentation, wear time and price ($7.99). I would love to see more shades of these from Milani!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Almost through Milani's new releases for 2015!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of the Fierce Foil Eyeshines. I reallly wanted to make these work and I couldn't make it happen. I am confused because I have seen a few positive reviews among mostly negative ones. So you never know, they might work for you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are supposed to give a multidimensional shine to lids. The press release says they are meant to last 2-6 hours. These eyeshines have a very creamy texture. Unlike anything I have experienced before. When I put my finger in the pan to pick up product, it mostly scoots around instead of picking up a substantial amount. The little rubber tipped applicator didn't do much for me either. The way that worked best was to get a little chunk on my finger to get decent coverage. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For how much of a let down these were for me, they sure look pretty in the packaging!</div>

My main issue with these is that they don't blend well. You could get away with layering a little over some coordinating shadow but I would keep it below the crease to prevent it from settling in it. These don't seem to ever set so they scoot around quite easily on the lid all day.</div>

I was hoping these would have a "wow" pigmentation factor to them. They aren't very practical for daily use but for a night out if you use them just right it could make a statement. I hate to give a negative review to a Milani product because most of them are spot on amazing.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
First, are a couple more lipsticks to the Color Statement line. I love both these colors, but then again I don't stray away from many lipstick shades! ;) Catwalk Pink is a bright Barbie pink and Power Pink is a medium berry-leaning pink shade. The finish is pretty shiny and the lasting power is better for Power Pink than Catwalk Pink.</div>

The other additions are two Color Statement lipliner shades. Pretty Pink and Bordeaux. Pretty Pink could stand to be more pigmented but it still adds a bit of sharpness to the overall lip look.<br />

These are nice additions to the Milani line and I would recommend these if you are looking for a new lipstick or lip liner options.<br />

I've got a few more Milani goodies for you today! I'm keeping it focused on the eyes with the Fierce Foil Eyeliners and Supreme Kohl Kajal Eyeliners in this post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've seen mixed reviews on these Fierce Foil liners. They are quite the enigma to me! There are 4 colors to choose from: Black Foil, Brown Foil, Purple Foil and Navy Foil. They come in little pots with screw off lids with Milani's signature metallic gold packaging. Each liner comes with a small brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At first touch, they are a dry texture that needs to be rubbed around to pick up a decent amount of product. The formula goes from cream to powder once applied and blended a bit. For the fact that these have a cream to powder finish, they are incredibly easy to apply. Super smooth and silky, and almost effortless. I used the included brush to make a winged look and it was super easy to achieve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, for how smoothly these applied, I thought for sure the lasting power wouldn't be great but my winged liner stayed put all day! Another suggested use for these is as an eyeshadow base, like for a smokey eye. I tried it that way and had terrible results with almost immediate creasing, so I wouldn't recommend them used that way.</div>

The thing about these that confused me: from looking in the pan and even my swatches below these seem pretty bold and pigmented. But once on my lid, they sheer out quite a bit. I had to run my brush over the line a few times to build up the color and even then was wishing for a more obvious, bold foiled effect. That said, because of the ability to sheer these out, they are very wearable and look more subtle compared to a plain black cream liner. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Supreme Kohl Kajal Eyeliner is your typical basic black eyeliner. This one is pretty creamy and applied smoothly but compared to a gel or cream liner not as densely opaque in one swipe. It's a nice liner that works for the waterline ok and for on the lid as well. It claims to be waterproof also but I haven't tested that aspect. I can't say I'm wowed by it but it get's the job done and I'll be reaching for it regularly. </div>

Zoya's newest collection so perfectly screams spring, I'm almost ready to ditch my much loved leggings and boots combo in favor of light cardigans and flats. ;)<br />
<br />
There are 3 cremes and 3 shimmers in this collection and they are all so pretty.<br />
<br />
<b>Lillian</b> is a powdery pastel blue. This is 3 thin coats. Application was pretty easy for a pastel formula and it self leveled nicely.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Tiana</b> is a perfect mint shade. 3 coats. Again, I was impressed with this formula considering this is a super light pastel.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<b>Leslie</b> is a pastel lavender with shimmer. 3 coats. The shimmer is subtle but still pretty noticeable. </div>

<br />
<b>Daisy</b> is a cute light yellow. This is 3 coats. I don't normally like yellows on me but this one I can get on board with!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And finally, <b>Rayne</b>. To me, this was the most shimmery of the 3. It's got a nice glow to it!<br />
<br />

I've been a fan of Milani for quite a while. They are always on trend, great price and quality formula. I'll be sharing their new for 2015 releases with you over the next little while here on the blog.<br />
<br />
The first installment will be the new Moisture Matte lipsticks! This affordable line retails for around $5 which makes it easy to attain the lip look of the moment. The claims made for this lipstick are that it will last for hours and not be drying on the lips because of the creamy formula that contains vitamins A&C.<br />
<br />
Milani put a great range of colors in this collection from nudes and pinks, to orange and red. The packaging is like the rest of the Color Statement lipstick line and each name on the bottom of the tube has "matte" in front it so you know exactly what you are getting.<br />

While I like most all of these shades, my hands down favorite of these lipsticks is Matte Passion. It's a super bright orange with red undertones. I love how the matte effect and the orange shade work so well together. I will definitely be rocking this ALOT in the warmer months!</div>

I got pretty good wear from this formula. It didn't really last through a meal but other than that it lasts pretty well. The formula goes on smooth but dry. There's no tugging during application either. It takes some getting used to on the lips to not have the normal slip that glossy lipsticks have, but I haven't felt so dry that I needed as balm on top which is huge for a matte lipstick. so I would say these mattes wear pretty comfortably. Overall, a great and affordable choice to get the matte lip look!</div>
