Lioele Nail Color: #6 Peach Pink & #28 Modern Mint

I've recently decided I kind of like the candy color trend that is cropping up. It's fun and gives my mood a happy boost. So I couldn't help but be attracted to these polishes at Sune, a shop that carries Asian beauty and skincare products.

Lioele is a Korean beauty brand that offers both cosmetics and skincare all in rather cute princess like packaging. These polishes are sold at Sune for $6.50 each and there was a lot of color variety to choose from. I was first attracted to the teal turquoise type of shade first, which is curiously named Modern Mint. I certainly don't see this color as any type of mint at all. I'm also on a pink kick it seems to because I had to have Peach Pink although I recently picked up a nice pinky coral polish already. The name for this one really describes it perfectly. There's just a touch of orange in this shade and you'll see that in the photos coming up.

Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment: Passion

Ever since receiving my deluxe samples of Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment from Sephora, I have been loving them over my other lip balms. I basically just keep one in my purse at all times, so when I ran out of my mini Rose balm, I was quite happy to get my new one as a nice gift from my brother. I think he felt sorry for me since I had like the last bit of my mini literally break as I was applying it and squish on my lips.

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Fresh & Hydrating Cream Compact

I've been in possession of this foundation since the middle of March but I've been down with such a severe cold that I really had no motivation to do my makeup. Then my skin decided that it was going to break out horribly at the same time so I was also concentrating more on skincare. I'm at least functional now and my skin has calmed down so it was time to finally test out my new Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua compact!

With the compact you also receive a velor pouch to put  your compact in, but I don't find that to be as useful and sometimes it ends up just being cumbersome. Moreover, the pouch attracts lint like nobody's business and that definitely doesn't look appealing at all. The compact itself comes with a basic white sponge that sits on top of the lid inside that keeps the foundation from drying out. There's also your standard mirror attached to the lid. The packaging also looks rather simple but very sleek and the white Chanel logo is very apparent against the black case, so I can imagine that this compact would be quite the statement accessory as you pull it out of your purse.

Sinful Colors: Island Coral

So I'm back at it again in my attempt to find my perfect pinkish coral polish. If I was willing to spend the money, I probably could have it already since Butter London's Trout Pout seems be what I'm looking for, but with a price tag of $14, let's just say I don't find Trout Pout to be that unique of a color to justify spending that amount. Anyways, I noticed Sinful had a shade of pink I hadn't seen before called Island Coral.

Island Coral is very much a pinky coral creme. On the nails, it's actually a bit darker than what you see in the bottle, but the color is still lovely. If Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in Coral Reef was too fluorescent for your taste, I would recommend that you try this one out. Although bright, the vibrancy isn't as brilliant and much easier to wear.

The formula was surprisingly good. I didn't have to deal with a frustrating goopy mess or major streaking. I did need 3 coats to achieve full opacity though, but the drying time wasn't overly long.

I'm am pleased to pieces that I found this shade and doubly so about the fact that it was during a sale. I only spent $0.99 on this bottle, however the regular price is only $1.99 so there's no breaking the bank in trying this one out.

On other news, my shiny new Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Compact has arrived in the mail! I've been so sick recently though that I haven't been using much make up and my skin has been breaking out. So I've decided to wait a bit for my skin to heal before apply foundation to it. But I am very excited to try it out soon!

China Glaze: Harvest Moon

So this is the last of my Hunger Games nail polishes. I have really come to like foil finishes and totally have my eye on a few for future purchase. For now, I'll be satisfied with the two I currently own, one of which is Harvest Moon!

Harvest Moon is a dark copper shade. It has more orange to it than an actual penny and definitely makes me think of autumn or sunsets. The foil effect is so beautiful with this polish. As if the color wasn't striking enough, you also have the subtle glistening or glow. Harvest Moon has been quite the eye catching polish for me.

China Glaze: Dress Me Up

This is the second polish of the China Glaze Hunger Games collection that I picked up. I had first seen the swatches online and although this shade wasn't the loudest of the selection, there was a certain charm to it that I couldn't pass up.

This shade makes me think of vintage silk roses, since this is rosy pink with a bit of brown thrown in. Also, depending on the lighting, I've noticed that this polish can end up looking more brown, like hot cocoa that has more milk diluting it. In sunlight, this polish looks more pink and classic. Definitely a more conservative or mature color to wear. Overall, I'm not too impressed with this shade, but there is something about it that I can't help but like and admire.

The formula for this was a bit thick and streaky for me. Even after three coats and a top coat, I couldn't get it to look completely smooth. So this was a bit of draw back for me since the application process was a bit more time consuming than Fast Track and Harvest Moon. I suppose if you're not the type of person to love neutral shades, I suggest passing on this one because it really isn't that unique of a color.

Next up, Harvest Moon! That should be up as soon as I can take pictures of it.

Tarte Blush & Bronzer On the Go

One of the first things I like to do when I'm at Sephora is browse the products that are displayed around the check out line. There are many travel sized items or mini combos offered for more affordable and appealing prices. This is how I ended up with Tarte's Blush & Bronze On the Go.

For $15 this set comes with the Amazonian Clay Blush in Dollface and Mineral Bronzer in Park Ave Princess. I haven't really seen the bronzer sold but I think the blush looks just like the original size, minus the mirror and magnet. Both the blush and bronzer have the same amount of product at 3.2 grams or 0.11 oz. Considering the fact that I will most likely apply these sheerly, I don't think I will be hitting pan any time soon.

China Glaze: Fast Track

The much hyped about China Glaze Hunger Games collection has released! I had my eye on Fast Track for quite some time but when I went to Sally's Beauty Supply I ended up leaving the store with a total of three polishes from the collection. Eventually I will end up swatching the other two but I prefer to wear my polish for a week at a time...but I will say that the collection is worth seeing in person!

This polish is pretty much in the same vein as China Glaze's Glittering Garland and Midtown Magic. It's a nice beige base with lots of golden micro glitter or fine golden flecks. So I'm quite confident that this will give me no trouble in removal just like Glittering Garland and Midtown Magic.
