NOTD: Sinful Colors "Island Coral"

Island Coral is one of the new polishes that were added to the permanent Sinful Colors line. This color is so gorgeous and is right on trend for spring/summer!


This polish is pure perfection. This is one of my favorite colors to wear because it really accentuates my peach undertones and even makes me look a bit tanner (always a plus when you're fair).  It went on like butter and was even a one coater. That's right people, a perfect one coater! I wore it for a full 5 days (with a base & top coat) because I loved it so much and it lasted beautifully. I also got complements up the wazoo!

One thing to mention, though, is that when I looked up swatches online before buying, the color looked completely different. Most swatches showed it as a cantaloupe-pinky peach, but on me it was much more of a bright, true coral. My picture is very accurate to how it looked on me, so keep that in mind. You can find this polish at Walgreens for only $1.99. If you love corals or want to be on trend this season, you need this! I know for sure that I will be wearing this all the time this spring and summer.

NOTD: Prom Manicure!

I had a really hard time deciding what to wear on my nails for my senior prom. I did a french manicure for prom last year, so I wanted to do something different. I didn't want to match my nails to my dress but I still wanted them to complement each other. I found the perfect polish for this; Nicole by O.P.I "Kim-Pletely In Love".


Revlon ColorStay "Siren" Quad Review/Swatches

Revlon has recently come out with new ColorStay eyeshadow quads that claim to last for 16 hours without fading or creasing. While this claim didn't hold true for me without the use of a primer, I still really like the quality of this palette.

NOTD: Spoiled "Pet My Peacock"

There is a new line of nail polishes called Spoiled by Wet 'n Wild which are sold exclusively at CVS. I originally went in looking for "Jewelry Heist", which is probably the most talked about polish in the collection because it is a gorgeous glitter top coat, but they were sold out of this color. I picked up my second choice which was "Pet My Peacock".

NYX HD Eyeshadow Primer Review

The NYX HD Eyeshadow Base claims to do the same things as basically all other eye primers; prep your eyelids and make your shadow more vibrant while keeping it from creasing and fading. I am happy to report that this does all of these things!

NOTD: Orly "Rage"

one coat plus topcoat
Orly "Rage" gets a lot of love from the blogging and YouTube communities. Of course the reason it is so popular is because it is absolutely gorgeous! It's the most perfect rose gold foil with incredible shimmer. It looks STUNNING in sunlight, and pictures do not do it justice. This is one of my all time favorite polishes, and I wear it a lot throughout every season. I think that it looks amazing on every skin tone and you will definitely get complements wearing it.

Maybelline Great Last Mascara Review

I should probably start off by saying that I am not very particular about my mascara. I have naturally long and thick eyelashes so all I really want a mascara to do is to separate them and hold the curl. This is my favorite mascara because it does just that!

eos Lip Balm Review

I know that everyone and their dog have tried eos lip balms by now, and they're nothing new. But for my first ever post, I thought I would do a review on something I absolutely love and cannot live without. I have been using these for over a year now, and I have decided that they are literally worth their weight in gold to me!
