TOP 10 Summer Lipsticks

Today I wanted to do another version of the summer favorites.
For me in summer the one thing that has to stand out is the lips. And summer is the perfect season for incorporating bright and vibrant colors into your everyday makeup routine. It is a little annoying that they melt but if you take good care of them they won't.
So here are my TOP 10 favorites for this summer.

1. Manhattan Creamy nude lipstick - 53H Rosewood
This is a great nude color that is for all off you girls that don't like brights in the summer but are not afraid of a little pinky tone added to the nude.

2. Essence 50's Girls Reloaded collection - 02 I'm sailing
Is a Nude/Coral/Orange toned lipstick. It looks very nice on your lips and I also recommend it if you want an orange tinted lipstick without going crazy with it.

3. Deborah Milano - 03 Atomic Red
Is in my opinion a true coral color. It gives such a great color to your lips and also it stays pretty long on.

4. Maybelline N.Y. Watershine - 110 Pink Sugar
Two words for this one: Bubble Gum Pink.

5. Revlon Matte - 004 Pink About It
I have done a review on this lipstick a while ago so you can go and check that out. In a few words this is the perfect watermelon color. Who loves watermelon?! Me !

6. Catrice Revoltaire - C01 Colour Bomb
I was so excited to find this matte lipstick. It is a Pink/Coral color and it looks amazing on. It doesn't dry out my lips and stays on long.

7. Deborah Milano - 9 Red
This one is not just a summer favorite, it's is much more than that. I've worn it through whole spring and I can not get enough of it.

8. Essence Urban Messages Lipstick
For all lovers of sheer red lipsticks this is the perfect match for you. And to addition to all of it it is super moisturizing and caring for your lips.

9. Essence 50's Girls Reloaded collection - 01 Back to the 50's
This just reminds me of a polka dotted dress or a stripes dress. It's the perfect shade to complete a nautical look.

10. NYX - LSS 511 Chaos
If you've been looking for the perfect night out red, than this is your winner.
It's a beautiful red with pink undertones. You can apply little bit for a day look or you can build it up for a fantastic night look.

Purple Gradient Nail Tutorial

Yesterday I finally had some free time to get my nails done and I was in a mood for a gradient look. 
What you need to achieve this nails are a range of nail polishes that go from a lighter to a darker color and a sponge. It is really easy it just takes a lot of patience but I swear it is worth it. 

STEP 1 : 
Apply a base color to your nails (1 coat). 

STEP 2 : 
Take the next color that you have selected, in my case a darker blue purple and start applying it with your sponge. to get a nice color effect on your nail.

STEP 3: 
Take the darkest color that you have chosen and apply it onto the sponge. Now for the first application I recommend you to first do a few press downs to a paper just to get the excess nail polish of  the sponge.
Start pressing the sponge at the top of the nail and work your way down. The nail polish will start to fade away as you get closer to the bottom of your nail.


Repeat that step until you are happy with the intensity of your nail polish, but remember always to start at the top because the edge of your nail should be the darkest. 
When you are done building up the color let it dry and finish of your look with a glossy top coat.



PRODUCTS I USED : 

1. Bourjois 1 second nail polish - 02 Rose delicat
2. Essence nail polish - Snow White collection - 08 Dopey
3. Konad nail polish (I don't know the color name or  number)


Alternative : 
If you don't like the darkest color to be glittery you can use OPI's Linkin park after dark.

Lipstick Obsession: Lipstick of the Week

Revlon is one of my favorite brands for matte lipsticks. I'm in love with matte lipsticks because they stay on for so long. This past week I've been using the shade 004 Pink about it. 
I've been using it on its own or with a glossy lip balm underneath. You can use it either way. It's looks amazing and stays long no matter how you use it. I recommend you to try these lipsticks because they are affordable and they work amazing.

Glittery Nail Of The Day



Since I haven't been posting anything for a long time I decided to do an easy post today, just to start off my summer blogging. So the past week I've been all about glitter nails. And today I painted them with this beautiful duo polish. It reminds me of a starry night, it's simply lovely. 











I used Essence's nail polish from the Circus collection in the color 01 My sparkling acrobat.



If you don't like to use dark colors in the summer I have another option for you so you can have glittery nails all summer long. 
I would recommend you to use the Essence Twins nail polishes in the color Romeo & Julia.
Step 1 is the base coat called Romeo.
Step 2 is the glitter topper called Julia.
