Pink Lips for Spring


Just a quick swatch for today. I'm continuing my obsession with pink for spring with pink lipstick! I'm usually a nude lipstick/gloss kinda girl, but pink looks so fresh and feminine. This is Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Wink for Pink (for color reference, I'm a MAC NW 20). I really like this color because it's light enough to be wearable, but not so light that it washes me out. What are some of your favorite pink lipsticks?

Spring Has Sprung (Almost!)


Perhaps it's because I'm a Texas girl, but I loathe winter. Anything below 50 is freezing to me, which is why I couldn't be happier that spring has almost arrived. The season evokes thoughts of new beginnings, sunny days, and warmer weather. And for all my fellow beauty fanatics, it also means it's time to dig out your bright, punchy makeup colors (finally!). I'm the type of gal who bases my nail polish shade on the season, and for some reason when I think spring, I think pink. On my hunt for the perfect color, I found a great one!

The polish is from the Sally Hansen's new Complete Salon Manicure line. I found the shade range impressive and was automatically drawn to "I Pink I Can," which I would describe as a crisp Barbie pink. It's not quite neon, but it's definitely very bright and very fun. Besides the awesome color, my favorite feature of the polish has to be the brush. It's flat and slightly pointed, which I think makes the application so much easier than painting with a traditional brush. I applied three (very thin) coats of polish and a clear topcoat, and I loved the results. What are some of your favorite nail polishes for spring? Do tell!
