My Summer Make Up

I got my nails done before I left for Florida, and I'm waiting until I can't stand looking at it anymore to take it off. So that leaves me very few things to post about, but I'm trying my best! I came up with this idea back in the beginning of the summer and never got around to actually putting the post together. Anyway, I love make up and I'm always trying out new things. In the summer, though, I like light make up that doesn't feel like too much. So these are the things I use the most in the summer, but sometimes I skip around and just wear a little mineral foundation and mascara. It all depends on my mood. :)

1. E.L.F. Oil Blotting Sheets. These rock. I don't use them too much, but in the summer they really make a difference. These are also good because they're only $1 at Target. It doesn't get much better than that!
2. Purpose Moisture Lotion SPF 15. I use this a lot because it's really light and just feels good on your face.
3. Hard Candy Undercover Agent (under eye brightener and concealer duo). I really just use the concealer because I don't think I need the under eye brightener.

4. Neutrogena Liquid Make Up in Natural Ivory. Love Neutrogena! It's really gentle and has always worked well with my skin. Plus it's SPF 20 so that's always good!
5. Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Powder Foundation in Buff. It's one shade darker than the liquid make up. I just like to top everything off with a little powder. But sometimes I'll just do this without using the liquid. It's easier that way. And it's also SPF 20.
6. Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Soft Plum. I like this because it's really light and airy. It lasts a long time and just looks good.
7. Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Liner in Cosmic Black. I usually put this on my top lash line. I have always worn it on the bottom, but this summer I've changed it up a bit. I also used to use brown all the time, but now I'm using black. I don't know what made me change!
8. Maybelline The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara. I love this stuff! It has a huge brush that grabs all of your lashes perfectly. I really like to wear this on my bottom lashes and the Falsies on the top. But I switch it up sometimes.
9. Softlips Stawberry SPF 20. I really love this stuff. It has a little bit of a menthol thing to it, so it feels good and helps heal chapped lips.
10. Neutrogena Ultra Soft Eye Makeup Remover Pads. These things are great! Expensive... but great. I'm really a fan of anything Neutrogena puts out. Oh and I don't just use these in the summer, I use them all the time. It's just an all around good product to have. :)

So that's what I use in the summer! I use mostly drug store stuff, because I'm cheap. Can y'all tell? ha! What do y'all use? Who else is a fan of light summer makeup? Thanks for reading! :)

A Look at My Collection: Greens

For the past few weeks, I've been going through all of my polishes trying to find a better way to organize them. I always go back to organizing them by brand, so I don't know why I even bother. But, I've also been using my nail wheels a lot. I love painting them, because then I can see all the different shades I have and I can see that I don't need to keep buying one color. I've noticed that my collection of greens is pretty small, as compared to my pinks or blues. I thought it would be fun to show off my collection through nail wheels. So today I'm going to show y'all my greens!

I currently have 17 greens in my collection. There are 18 nails on the nail wheel, so the 18th nail is just a little experiment I was doing. :)
1. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Jade Jump

2. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Lime Lights

3. L.A. Colors: Current
4. Del Sol: Looking Glass

5. Zoya: Gemma

6. OPI: Green-wich Village
7. Sinful Colors: Irish Green

8. Wet n Wild: Jade

9. Sinful Colors: Show Me the Way
10. Maybelline: Go Go Green

11. Ulta: Into the Limelight

12. Rimmel: Camouflage

13. Sinful Colors: San Francisco

14. American Apparel: Hunter

15. OPI: Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow
16. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Green with Envy

17. Sally Girl: Pea-Body

18: Ulta: Pinata-Yada-Yada topped with L'Oreal I Pink I'm in Love

So those are my greens! In the first picture of the nail wheel, my Del Sol changed to its outdoor color, which is a pink-red. But, indoors and in the shade it is green. I think my favorite greens are Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow and Into the Limelight. What are your favorites? Is there anything y'all want to see on my nails?

I'm putting together a post on what polish I should wear to Florida. So far I have 10 polishes that I'd like to wear. I want y'all's opinions on those, so look for a post coming up this week!

Thanks for reading! :)

Random Colors

Hey ya'll. Just wanted to post some random pictures of nail polish. However, most of these pictures are of pink polish. There is one exception... but most of them are pink. Anyway, read on for more details on the polish. BTW~ Most of these I did up right by using a top coat. :)

Sally Hansen~ Tender Mulberry. This color was very easy to apply and I think the color will suit most everyone. Very pretty. Two coats. :)

Sally Hansen~ Beautiful Berry. This one looks more red in the pictures than it actually is. It's not as bright. But, it's another pretty one. 3 coats, easy application. :)

Sally Hansen~ Calming Cocoa. This is the exception to all the pink polish. lol. Obviously this one is more of a brown. Cocoa is the appropriate name. 3 coats, great application. :)

Nat Robbins~ Sea Shell. I've had this polish for quite a long time, and it still applies quite well. I used three coats. :)

Jessica~ Juicy. I love this color. One of my favorites. It's a bubble gum pink. And, it applies like a dream!! :) You can use two coats, but I used three. :)

Wet n' Wild~ Frosted Fuchsia. This is one you could almost do with one coat, but I used two just out of the force of habit. lol! It flashes blue in certain lighting. :)

Maybelline New York Express Finish~ Sunset Prisms. This is another one I've had for a while. Still applies great... but it's just a little runny. I used three coats. :)

N.Y.C. ~ 108A. This is one that doesn't have a name. But, I'm pretty sure that it's called "Polyester Pink" now. I got this one before they started getting names. It's a little old, and it's running VERY thick. That made it a little hard to apply. I used three coats. But there is still visible nail line... so four coats is almost necessary.

Maybelline~ Rhinestone Pink. This is one of the "Wet Shine Diamonds" polishes. My bottle is almost empty and it is running quite thick. I used two coats. But, I almost needed three.

Sally Hansen Salon~ Pardon My French. This is obviously used more for French Manicures. But, I like the look of it when it's just solid color. It was pretty hard to apply, but I used three coats. 

That's all I have for ya'll now. I'm almost running out of polishes to show ya'll. LOL. jk... I don't think I will EVER run out.

Talk to ya'll later. :)

Five Pocket

Hey ya'll. Get ready for alot of posts. I have alot of  swatches  to keep ya'll entertained while I'm gone.

This is Maybelline Express Finish~ Five Pocket. I guess they are referring to jeans?? I don't know... but I do know that I like this color alot. I don't have another blue like it. It has an incredible shine to it. Very pretty in the sunlight. 

I used two coats, it was pretty thick. This is a dollar store find... so I don't know how old the polish really is. But I only paid $1.00 for it... so no worries :)

In the pictures, you can kind of see brush strokes, and where it had trouble drying. I still think it's a great color! :)

Enjoy.
