Favorite Spring Lipstick!

0


I've been searching for the perfect peachy pink lipstick for spring and I think I found the perfect one! The one above is Smashbox's Mega Tint Long Wear Lip Color in Nude, which is a soft peachy pink color. I LOVE this lipstick line mainly because it doesnt dry out my lips like alot of lipsticks out there and it FEELS light but at the same time, is extremely pigmented. I also have this in Cerise, which is red and it's my go-to red color. It has this tingly sensation when I apply it on my lips--similar to when I apply my softlips chapstick. It keeps my lips moisturized--which is a big thing because my lips are always dry and peeling. I've been going through alot of different brands of lipstick lately and I think I've finally settled on this one :)

Here's a list of what I also currently have in my purse that I am trying:


I actually really like this line of Maybelline lipsticks. I actually really hate Maybelline's other line, Color Sensation, it has such a nasty smell/taste to it. This line, however, is actually really good. I got this one in Pink Possibilities, which is a sheer pale pink. It's actually a lipstick/gloss combo because it has a very shiny finish without the stickiness--which is very important because I hate stickiness. The only thing I disliked about this lipstick is that it starts to feather out of my lips after a while. I have a very oily complexion so that makes the feathering happen even sooner. It's a good lipstick to use everyday because its sheer and it pretty much goes with everything. 

 
I tried this lipstick on in the store and wanted the shade "Electric Pink Matte" but they were out of stock and I can see that it's out of stock online too.. boo :( It was a bright pink color that actually matches my warmer tone complexion.. which is very rare. If it ever comes back in stock, I would definitely be purchasing it. I wore it for a few hours and found that it didn't dry out my lips and it was super pigmented for $19. If that shade ever comes back, I'll definitely be buying it!

I just purchased this a few days ago in Nordstrom. I got this in "Tinted Rose" which is a soft pink color. It's very similar to my natural lip color and I found that it matches everything I wear. It's not as moisturizing as the Smashbox Mega Tint, but it doesnt dry out my lips either. I think I might be returning this one because for $26, I can get another Smashbox Mega Tint in a different color.

Some Cute Spring Stuff from Forever 21

0


I was randomly surfing around Forever 21 when I encountered some pieces that caught my eye. These spring staples could easily transition into the warmer summer months. Check them out:



This dress also comes in a blue color too, but  I think this peachy colored one is prettier. Forever 21 always have very short hem lines and this dress runs 35'' from the shoulder. I'm 5'4" and I dont purchase dresses with a shorter than 33'' hem line which runs mid thigh. 


Warning: This dress is sheer. I'm pretty sure it doesn't come with anything inside. It's super cute though. It also comes in an orangey-red that I'm not too fond of. I actually dont own a shirt dress, so I might invest in this one!


This skirt instantly caught my eye when I was browsing through their site. I LOVE the color and the flowiness of it. It comes in like 5 different colors and I honestly want them all!



I love the back of this shirt! The front is nice and simple, and paired with a pair of cute shorts and it becomes the cutest lazy day outfit :)



This top is super cute. It reminds me of another top I have without the neck tie, and it was one of the best investments ever. It goes with everything! 


This is a light sweater material and it comes in every pastel color. Love!



I once owned a sweater similar to this in this exact color. It was one of the best investments I've made in terms of a cardigan. I wore it EVERYWHERE with EVERYTHING. It was perfect for work and school with just the right amount of color. It'll give a lazy day outfit a pop of color.
