Wedding Manicure

Hello everyone!! Today I went to get my manicure done for my wedding! It's 3 days away!! I had been thinking of which color to get for a while... Neutrals, reds, pinks or darks??... After much thought I decided to be a rebel and go for a Shellac Manicure in "Fedora" I love this color and it is by no means a wedding color but I didn't care. After all it is my day and I get to do whatever I want haha! So what do you think?? Do you prefer traditional colors or do you like to be a little different? What color did you use on your wedding?? Let me know by leaving a comment =)

Katy Perry "Oh Honey" Lashes

Hello everyone!! I purchased 1 of the 4 pairs of the Katy Perry Lash Collection at ULTA a few days ago. The pair I purchased is "Oh Honey", they are pretty long but are still good for everyday They flare out towards the outer corners to give that girly flirty look. They come in a cute little package with their own adhesive glue and a large sticker. I wore these all day today and they are quite comfortable and easy to put on, I didn't have any problems with them. I'll need to check out the other 3 in the collection and tell you if I liked them as much as I liked these. They retail for $6.99. Have you tried any of the other lashes in Katy Perry's collection?? Let me know and tell me if you liked them in the comment box =)

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Swatches

Hello everyone! I recently purchased 3 Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains and figured I should show you some swatches and tell you what I think about them. I was actually pretty impressed by them. They come in a crayon/pencil type packaging, each in the color of the actual Balm stain. To get more product you just twist the silver bottom and more product is revealed. They have a nice peppermint smell and keep my lips moisturized for quite some time. Once the product begins to fade it actually does leave your lips stained in the color you were wearing. When I first saw these I thought the pigmentation on them would be very light but they are actually quite decent and you can really build the color by adding more product. I think these Balm Stains are great for on the go and perfect if you want a medium coverage tinted lip moisturizer. They retail for $8.99, I purchased them at ULTA but I'm sure you can find them in various locations. Enjoy and let me know if you like this product!

From L-R... Honey, Lovesick and Rendezvous

Honey- This is a mauve/pink, on me it looks more mauve than pink but I'm sure it depends on the color of your natural lips.

China Glaze Bohemian Collection

Hello everyone!! I went to ULTA a couple of days ago and saw the new China Glaze Bohemian collection. There are 6 colors in this collection and they are duochromes.. Which means that the color changes depending on the angle you are looking at it from. I purchased the 2 that I liked the most and I will show you swatches. I'll also give you the names and include pictures of the 4 I did not purchase. I used 2 coats and no top coat on both of the swatches. I really liked this collection but there are definitely dupes for all of these colors, so they are not super unique. These retail at $8. What do you think of this collection? Do you love it or will you be passing on it? Let me know by leaving a comment!

Swanky Silk- This is a Beige/gold with pink rose duochrome. It was a little thin and definitely needed at least 2 coats.

Deviantly Darling- This is a peacock teal with a green duochrome. The green is actually more visible on the bottle because once I put it on my nail I didn't see a lot of duochrome in it. It is a very opaque finish and I actually only needed 1 coat but I applied 2 anyway.

No Plain Jane- This is a purple with pink/gold duochrome. I am not a fan of purple so that is why I passed on this color.

Rare & Radiant- This is a green gold duochrome. It is very similar to Chanel Peridot, which I have so that is why I didn't get it.

Unpredictable- This is a blue toned green with gold duochrome.

Want My Bawdy- This is a deep blue with purple duochrome

OCC Lip Tars

Hello everyone!! Today I'm going to review and swatch 4 OCC Lip Tars. I can't believe I had never used these before.. They are Amazing!! I am in love with them and will definitely order more! Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is 100% vegan and cruelty-free which is awesome! The product comes in a little tube so to apply it I put 2 small dots on my lips and blend it with my Real Techniques Detailer Brush. They are super pigmented so a little goes a long way! At first they feel kind of like a gloss but they dry to a satin matte finish. The wear on them is great, they last pretty much all day, I only had to re-apply after having dinner. They have an incredible range of colors available so I'm sure everybody will find a color they love. They have a pleasant peppermint smell to them, which I really like. I highly recommend this product, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! They are available at occmakeup.com and retail for $15.
