Rainbow Tag: Collab with Stephanie from The Best in Beauty

I'm back with a collab post, I've joined forced with Stephanie from The Best in Beauty. If you follow me on instagram you would know we've been preparing for the rainbow tag. I've been posting my picks for each color leading up to this blog post. 

Red

I love a red lip, the Revlon Matte Balm is amazing, if you want an affordable option go for this one. For a not so affordable option the Chanel Rouge Allure in #99 Pirate is great is an amazing blue red that looks great on all skin tones and it makes your teeth look white. For an option right in between the Stila stay all day liquid lipstick in the color Beso is a beautiful matte liquid lipstick that actually does last all day, I love this stuff. 

Orange

I'm not much for orange but I do have a new things in my collection. Both these shadows are mac and were limited collection the first was from the Hayley Williams collection and the other from the Surf Baby collection, the lipstick is a really pretty matte orange color also from the Hayley Williams collection called Sounds Like Noise. 

Yellow

Yellow was kind of a hard one for me to find things in my collection. I have the Phillip Lim for Target  bag and the Chanel polish in Mimosa, both were limited edition items.

Green

This Gosh quad, I received in my UK/US swap from my previous post, the colors are very pretty shimmery shades of green. Next is my Disney for Sephora collection for the Ariel. The Simple face wipes are by far my favorite ones, these I have small for eyes but the larger face ones are great too. What I love about them over other makeup remover wipes is that they don't sting my eyes. 

 Blue

First blue things I have is the Very Berry candle from Target, these candle are so nice and half the price of the Bath and Body Works ones. On the Bath and Body Works subject I am still loving this scent from the holiday line if you can get your hands on it you will LOVE it. Only one beauty product, the MUFE Sens'eyes makeup remover gets that waterproof liner and mascara off really nicely without irritating your eyes. Ladies, the man in your life needs to smell of Chanel, Bleu De Chanel is my favorite men's fragrance. If anyone is wondering the earrings are Givenchy and I got them form Macy's. 

Violet

I have two favorite plum color blushes, the first is Milani and the second is Plum Attraction from Chanel. Also from Chanel I have the Rouge Allure Velvet in #45 L'Adoree this color is from the Spring 2014 collection. I also have a YSL lipstick but the number as rubbed off.

Pink

The color of colors :) First is a fragrance I received for my birthday Chanel Chance Eau Tendre, this scent is so nice for spring. Again I have two blushes I love right now, Chanel blush in Emotion and the fancy pants new big boss blush in my collection, Tom Ford in Narcissist. I will have posts on both of these blushes coming up soon. For the lips I have MACs Candy yum yum and Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in #40 La Sensuelle. The Chanel gloss in #168 was my first Chanel purchase so I'll always love it.

Silver

I had to add a couple bonus colors. A few of my favorite silver pieces, the silver bunny is a ring holder that I found at Bed Bath and Beyond. Of course my MK watch and a few jewelry pieces. I have two silver eye products, and eyeliner form starlooks and a creme shadow my Rimmel.

Black

Another bonus color. Some of my favorite brands come in gorgeous black packaging. I'm a sucker for packaging. Chanel of course, MAC, Nars and Givency. 

Thank you for sticking with me through this super long post. Don't forget to head over to Stephanie's blog and cheek out her rainbow favorites. 

MAC x Paramore

Browsing around Temptalia I came across a post for a mac collection that made me soo exited. I love it when MAC does collaborations with celebrities, especially when it is one of my favorite artists. On April 9 MAC is coming out with a collection collaboration with Hayley Williams from Paramore. This is so exiting for me because Paramore is one of my favorite bands. As a fan of Hayley and her signature style I already knew what color I would see in this collection be.. Orange. Hayley rocks her orange hair like no other, orange is defiantly her and the band's signature color.

 

I will be getting something from this collection, as a fan, its a must. I really hope the orange color is flattering on me, but even if its not I'm still getting something just to have it.

 

The collection will consist of a lipstick, eyeshadow, mineralize skinfinish, and nail polish.

I wish I used my twitter more often because I would have known about this sooner. Hayley posted about it at the beginning of March. For any updates I would suggest follwing her @yelyahwilliams. 

 

 

Mini Birthday Beauty HAUL

Last Thursday the bf and I went to the mall for some shopping and dinner. Since my birthday was in the middle of the week we didn't go out, we had dinner with my family at my house. It was go good, salmon and rice (one of my favorite dishes, besides Italian food). I also had an AMAZING cake and cupcakes. At the mall I got to pick out a few goodies from Zumies and Sephora. I will do a separate fashion birthday haul. Right now I'll just post the few things I got from Sephora.


I feel like right now i have lots of makeup so I tried to get a few skin care things.

Soap and Glory Pulp-Friction - I love Soap & Glory bath products they smell real nice and the packaging is so adorable. I've used their other other bath scrub, The scrub of your life, and I like this one better. I mostly like the smell over the other.

Clarins One step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser - I've heard lots of good things about this product and I figure, hey I'm 25 now, I should start taking care of my skin. I've only used it twice so I can't really see a difference in my skin yet, but using this paired with my clarisonic, I have high hopes.
One thing about this product that kind of caught be by surprise is how much product is lacking in the bottle. I always open the box check the bottles before I buy something just to make sure someone hasn't messed with it. I opened every box for the cleanser to make sure it wasn't a bad bottle I picked up.  The bottle is only about 75% full.

Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion - I've also heard good things about this product and the whole Clinique 3 step system in general. I decided to just try the moisturizer in mini form, and I wish I would have got the full size. I love this stuff so far. Makes my face really soft.

I couldn't go into Sephora without getting at least some makeup.

 

Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Setting Spray - I've never tried a setting spray before so i got a mini size to see how it works. I haven't tried it yet. The one I got has the old packaging.

 

 

 

Urban Decay Naked Basics - I just had to get it.

 

 





 

Thank you Sephora for my Beauty insider birthday gift. This year they are doing a Benefit box with they're real mascara (not my fave) and Watt's UP (so excited to try this)

Before hitting the other stores I had to stop by Macy's and get a couple things from the Archie's Girls collection form MAC, I got one Veronica lipstick (Daddy's little girl) and one Betty lipstick (Betty Bright). I forgot to take pictures of those so I will post a separate mini post with swatches of those two.
