Pretty Pastels - Eyes, Nails, Necklace

I've always associated pastel colors with Spring - Easter egg colors if you will. But I decided, what the hell, I need some pastel colors in my life for summer. So, here is my EOTD & NOTD, plus one of my favorite new necklaces - all pastels, of course.

Pretty purple cream shadow!

Has a tiny bit of glitter in it, but in a subtle way.

Think of it as "daytime glitter"

A mini wing just to polish off the look

And two coats of MAC mascara

New purple Essie polish!

Such a fun, sweet color

A crowned heart necklace that I bought on my last trip to Brazil

Very...Majesty-like =)

What I used:

Essie polish in Nice is Nice, and the great top coat you'll ever use!

This is a Stila smudge pot from back in the day when they did a Barbie line.

The cover is just too cute!

I know that this color looks kinda scary and vampy in the pot,

but if you apply it with your finger and blend, it can be very light and pretty

For night time, build more layers of shadow on top for an intense eye

Hope everyone is having a great week! xoxo

Stila Convertible Color Blush & Lipstick

So after my NARS Orgasm fiasco (two blushes breaking one after the other) I decided to try something else just for the hell of it. I haven't heard much about this product, therefore it was just a shot in the dark that I would actually like it. And I did!

The color is a good match for my skin - like a chalky-pink, and the texture is smooth and glides on easily. I'm not a huge fan of using it on my lips (as the product suggests), so I think i'll just stick with using it for my cheeks.

I've been experimenting with different ways to blend (which i'll admit, i'm not great at) and i've found the best way to use it is to blend with your fingers in a circular motion on the apples of your cheeks. It looks the most natural that way, since I don't like blush that is very bright and stands out...should look more like flushed cheeks.

Anyone else try it yet? Or, have any other blushes you're currently using? Share with us!
