Orly-Basket Case

Happy Saturday-almost-Sunday everyone!!!!!

I'm just sitting at my apartment waiting for my friends to come back from work so we can all go out! woohoo! I thought i'd write a blog post while i was waiting since i haven't written one in a while.



 This is my BEAAUUUTIFUL fwiend Helen aka Cooks with her newly painted nails! I love doing my friends nails and this day she agreed to be my model for my blog ;)

This color is by Orly called Basket Case. I personally love Orly and their consistency. Also their nail polishes never get thick and they stay like their original consistency for a looong time. I feel like OPI nailpolishes get thick very quickly.

This picture is without bright lights with a flash on and it truly justify the color in real life.

This is under a lamp light and the color looks washed out a little bit.


This is sucha pretty color for the summer, just a true pinkish coral that goes with any skin tone :) and Cooks did really love it :)

Have a great weekend!

L'OREAL Colour Riches leGloss

Hi Again!

I had a free day again today because i was sent home from work AGAIN for my conjuctivitis. It was kind of annoying cause I went all the way to work and had to come back and it was like 120 degrees outside. legit. So with my free day, I had lunch with my friends at Wagamama and ran some errands. I've been hearing about these new L'oreal Color Riche lipglosses, and been wanting to try them! I was in Walgreens anyways so I tried looking for them but could not find them until i spotted them on the very top shelf...like why would you put it up so high?

Anyways, I was only gonna get ONE but i ended up buying TWO cause ...i'm an addict.

                                                       Left-Violet Attitude, Right-Golden Splash

I picked up these two colors the top one's without flash and the bottom one is with flash. The Golden Splash color really caught my eyes since I've been in a coral kick lately! It's a perfect light coral with a good amount of shimmer. Violet Attitude is not the color that I usually go for but this color reallyyy called my name! It's sucha pretty deep pink with a hint of lavender.

 Golden Splash looks true to color on your lips, but Violet Attitude doesn't show the lavender tone when applied on the lips. I think it'll be very pretty on top of a nude lipstick.

These are how the applicator looks like. Just a classic plastic applicator, which I think is very sanitary compared to the brush applicators..you're pretty much putting all the germs back into the tube!

I'm VERY pleased with these lip glosses! they are not sticky at all!(i promise!) they literally feel like lip balms. They also have a very pleasant vanilla cupcake smell to them :) I got mine for $7.99 each but I'm sure you can get them for cheaper outside of the city.

I highly recommend you to try these out! I wanna go and get more!(but i shouldnt..)

Bye!

Battle of Nude Polishes!

Hi Everyone!

This is my very FIRST blog post and i'm still very confused about the blogpost website and how to work it, but hopefully this works! Normally at this time of the day, I'm usually making chemotherapy at work BUT, today i woke up with a swollen eye, which happened to be a conjuctivitis(which is AWESOME). So I wasn't allowed to work at the hospital and was sent back home. With a whole day to myself, i was bored OUT OF MY MIND and decided to finally make a post on my newly established blog! YAY.


I picked out all of the nude nail polishes i own and did a little bit of comparisons. Hope you enjoy :)

From left to right: The Face Shop-BR801, Essie-Ballet Slippers, Essie-Demure Vixen, Essie-Sand Tropez, Zoya-Vivienne

                      Milani-Bare in Mind, Milani-Bare Necessity, Orly-Kiss the Bride, Missha- L04J03, Baviphat- #1


And here are some more pictures by brand...

                             Essie-Ballet Slippers, Demure Vixen, Sand Tropez

 I must say Essie polishes are my favorite nail polishes and all three of these polishes are awesome! The middle one, Demure Vixen, is not very 'nude' but it goes on very sheer and has very pretty blue duochromes. Ballet Slippers is just such a classic color and Sand Tropez looks amazing on tan skin.

                                           The Face Shop-BR801

 The Face Shop is a Korean brand and their nail polishes are only A DOLLAR! and the pay off is pretty great. The Face Shop recently launched their US website!  http://www.thefaceshopusa.com/

                                                                 Milani-Bare in Mind, Bare Necessity 

These colors are from Milani's Bare collection and they are great fall colors! Bare in Mind has a slight shimmer to it and it makes your nails look so nice and clean :)

                                                                                       Zoya-Vivienne

I got this Zoya nail polish online without searching for any swatches and I kind of regret buying it. To get the color, you need three coats and it ends up being very thick. And the color is not that unique.

                                                                                  Orly-Kiss the Bride

This is one of my roomate's nail polishes and to be honest, i've only worn it once on my nails so I can't tell you much about it. But i remember it looking very whiter than the bottle. I love how Orly nail polishes go on though :)

                                                                                      Missha-L04J03

                                          Baviphat- #1

Missha and Baviphat are both Korean cosmetic companies. Missha has a US website but I'm not sure about Baviphat because I'm sure they are pretty new in Korea. I've always loved Missha polishes and this color is just a great fall nude color. I don't really care for Baviphat polishes, I just love their packaging :P

Hope you guys enjoyed my first post!
