NY STREET STYLE; MY KIND OF NAILS

Inspired by one of Lindsey's recent posts of her favorite Essie Nail Polishes, for my post today, I've decided to share with you my favorite Butter London Polishes!

Butter London is one of my favorite nail brands- their polishes not only come in cool rectangular bottles, but also have an extremely fluid consistency and high pigmentation. 

My first favorite is Macbeth (if you're aware of my Shakespeare obsession, no surprise here with the name..). This is a beautiful and bright hot pink-red color that I love for spring and summer. If you're like me and aren't a huge fan of pink nail polish, this is a great stepping stone for it's a mix between a red and a hot pink.

My second favorite would have to be Jaffa. I love neon nails for the summer, and although it's hard to tell how bright this color is in the photo above, it's a lovely neony-orange. It's great for summer as well, for it looks especially nice with a tan!

Wallis is another one of my favorites, its a cool metallic-y goldish/ dark green/blue. It's actually pretty impossible to describe this color and that's why I think its so cool. It's shimmery, deep, and sleek.

The Black Knight is one of my favorite polishes of all time! It's a black polish with a lot of purple iridescent glitter. I personally would wear this color just about any time of year!

And finally, another one of my all time favorites, British Racing Green. This is a deep forest green that I absolutely love wearing in the fall and winter. This polish is extremely popular and actually is a favorite of tons of fashion icons.

NY STREET STYLE; BY COLOR

Hello all! Although Miss Lindsey is the YouTube connoisseur of Being Blonde and Brunette, I discovered a cool tag on YouTube called the Rainbow Tag. This involves choosing your favorite makeup/ beauty/ or accessories of different colors of the rainbow. Today, I'm going to be sharing with you my favorite beauty products (and some accessories) that follows the colors of a rainbow, specifically- RED, ORANGE, YELLOW- GOLD, GREEN, BLUE-TEAL, PURPLE, AND PINK! Enjoy.

My two favorite red products are

01. Mac's Cherry Lipliner- a beautiful, bright, cherry red that creates the base for a gorgeous red lip. My favorite thing to do is fill in my lips with this pencil and use a clear gloss over it to give it some shine.

02. Urban Decay's Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Theodora- this gloss pencil is awesome! It gives a nice shiny look and has a thick, pigmented consistency that lasts hours!

My three favorite orange products are:

01. Mac's Rubenesque Paint Pot- a gorgeous shimmery peachy gold base that is perfect to wear underneath shadow or even on it's own.

02. Mac's Melon Pigment- Another sparkly peachy gold shadow that can be used for many different eye looks. Add clear nail polish to some of the pigment and create your own orangey-peachy-gold polish!

03. YSL's Rouge Volupté in #30- This is a GORGEOUS coral-orange lip color for those summer days and nights. Complements any skin tone for sure.

My five favorite yellow/gold things: 

01. Mac's Indianwood Paint Pot- A thick, beautiful gold base that is perfect for any gold eye look.

02. Mac's Dazzle Lipstick in Sheer Seduction- A gorgeous peachy-gold shimmery lip color that I have been loving lately.

03. Mac's Soft and Gentle Highlighter- Adds a beautiful highlight and shine to the cheekbones, nose, and cupid's bow.

04. Lush's Let the Good Times Roll- one of my FAVORITE face scrubs. It's made with maize and cornflour- so it gives your skin a deep cleanse and smells amazing.

05. Murano Glass Necklace- from Murano (Venice, Italy)

My three favorite green products:

01. Macadamia Deep Repair Masque- The BEST conditioner I've ever used in my life. It makes your hair so incredibly soft and smooth- I highly highly recommend this one. 

02. Clay Mask Avocado &  Oatmeal- One of my favorite face masks ever! It smells amazing and leaves your skin feeling refreshed and squeaky clean.

03. Great Lash Clear Mascara-  I love using this for my brows- it helps keep the shape of them and sets my brow powder. 

My favorite blue/teal things:

01. Nars Eyeshadow Duo in Misfit- An amazing combination of a bright highlight and a deep teal blue- highly pigmented and pretty!

02. Urban Decay's 24|7 Pencil Liner in Electric- A pretty electric blue liner for days that you want to have fun with your makeup!

03. Mac's Extended Lash Mascara- I love using this mascara for when I apply false lashes- it's a small, easy brush to use.

04. Benefit's Porefessional- My favorite makeup primer! Reduces the size of pores and leaves your skin silky smooth.

05. Two Faced Shadow Insurance- One of my favorite eye primers (the cheapest out of Mac, UD, and Nars)

06. Balenciaga Wrap Bracelet- Super cute!

07. Pink Body Spray in Fresh and Clean- One of my favorite body scents of all time!

My favorite purple products:

01. Benefit's Watt's Up- An awesome, easy face highlighter. Great for travelling!

02. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Lavender- A great base for any lavender shadows.

03. Mac's Mineralized Shadow in Daylight- A gorgeous Lavender shadow with blue and pink veins.

04. Mac's Kitschmas Pigment- A loose, glittery lavender purple with pink reflects!

My favorite pink products:

01. Mac's Viva Glam Nicki- (ORIGINAL)- love this bright hot pink color - it's perfect for Spring and Summer.

02. Mac's Mineralized Blush in Supernova- A gorgeous swirl of light peachy bronze and deep hot pink. A bit avant-garde for everyday use, but still really cool.

03. Ed Hardy Perfume- I don't know what it is about this scent, but I absolutely am obsessed with it. It's light, airy, not to sweet and not to sour. 

04. Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Hot- Again, I absolutely love this scent- it's not too strong but awesome and understated.

I definitely recommend all of these products, they're worth trying out!

The Neutrogena Wave Sonic : Review

i remember when i was back in middle school and i was obsessed with skincare products. back then i had a few issues, i had this rash on my forehead (i promise and swear it wasn't acne) but it was the worst thing ever!! during my middle school days i used clean and clear morning burst facial cleanser, and my favorite : the neutrogena wave. i remember that i was obsessed with it, and loved to use it and often tried to use it like they did in commercials with emma roberts and vanessa hudgens! i remember getting in trouble for splashing the sink water all over, because i tried to do the infamous slowmo sink splash... which did not work out.  fast forward to now, i just recently purchased the new and improved : the neutrogena wave sonic. i am so obsessed with this tool that it is crazy. it makes me wash my face more, and make me so happy when i do it in the morning and at night! i love this so much, the way it makes my skin feel after is my favorite part. it provides you with healthy and clear skin for days! if you have troubles with pores, blackheads, oily skin (which i only rarely have issues with these) then use this tool! its inexpensive and is so handy to have and it is just the right size to bring on the go!! 

i love how many pads they give you! enough for about 2 weeks!! another great thing is that they give you batteries with your wave sonic! also, it is a little bit larger than the original wave and has two settings instead of one. it is a fast and a medium speed spinner that is very handy and gets the job done!

before, my skin was very healthy, seemed to be clear and clean, but the good ol' wave sonic showed me that i have so much cleaning on my face that i miss ith a daily wash with a product and wash cloth. **also before washing my face i put my hair up/back and put a thick headband on to ensure my hair doesn't get wet!!**

for the wave, you attach the blue pad (which already has *soap* on it), run it under water for the soap to get damp and you turn on the power button and place it all around your face. 

i know this is a totally weird picture, but this is what it looks like, except the only reason why the soap is discolored is because i had my foundation on when i was wavin my face! 

after everything is all done, i wash off my face with water and pat my face dry with a towel. i couldn't stop touching my face after because it is and was so smooth!! i highly recommend this for anyone who needs a new go to for facial care and does not want something as expensive as the clarisonic!
