NOTD: Essie Midnight Cami

The nail I am wearing today is Essie's Midnight Cami, which is a dark navy shimmer. I do think it's a nice color, but for some reason I find it a little disappointing. It's my only navy nail polish though, so I'm on the hunt for a more impressive one. Any recommendations?

I Heart London!

Jessie J's Price Tag is my favorite song of the moment. I noticed that I've been loving London's music because I have also been listening to Adele and Tinie Tempah! I guess it just reminds me of when I was in London, and I'm dying to go back! 

The girls in London just have such great style and always look so cute! Plus, I love her make-up in this video- her skin is glowing and looks flawless.

My Top 3 Spring Fragrance Picks

Nothing's better than some new fresh spring scents! Today I stopped by my local Sephora and picked up a rollerball of the Marc Jacobs Daisy. I know this fragrance has been out for awhile but it's taken me awhile to finally get it. Anyways, this is a great light floral scent that is young and fresh at the same time. I think women of all ages can pull this one off.

Another perfume I have been lusting for and think is perfect for spring is Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb. That's next on my list!

One of my favorites that I already own is Nina by Nina Ricci. It's very sweet and feminine, and it mixes really well with my skin. This is a classic and one I will always use.

LOTD: MAC Jazzed

Today's lip is MAC Jazzed which is a Cremesheen Limited Edition. It's a really beautiful light coral color and I think it would be flattering on a variety of skin tones. This is one of  my favorites and it's the perfect bright color for summer.

Here are a few swatches:

Great Product for Summer

With summer on its way, I thought it would be a good idea to purchase some powdered sunscreen. I am one of those people who has really oily skin and hates the texture of sunscreen. I purchased Peter Thomas Roth's Oily Problem Skin Instant Mineral SPF 30 Sunscreen. I think it's a really good product- it's easy to apply when you're in a rush and doesn't have that icky feeling of sunscreen. It's so handy that you can toss it in your purse and reapply anytime. It's also great for oily skin because it's mattifying and oil absorbing. For people without oily skin, there's another version that is SPF 45 so check that out.

This is what it looks like:

So to use it you basically just take off the cap and dust yourself wherever you want sun protection as it automatically comes out. Then, the middle part pulls up so you can recap the brush.

MAC's Creme Cup vs. Maybelline's Pink Please

I just purchased Maybelline's Color Sensational Pink Please lipstick, which I have heard is a dupe to MAC's Cremesheen Creme Cup. I thought I would see for myself how close they were and show you guys. They are very similar- you probably can't tell the difference from the lip swatches, but on my hand you can see a slight difference. The MAC one is more mauve and the Maybelline is more orange (hence the name). They are both beautiful colors and you could definitely get away with purchasing the Maybelline to save yourself some money.

Here are the swatches:

Best Bikini Waxing Kit!

Of course every woman dreads getting a bikini wax, but with summer on its way, I've been looking for an easy way to do it at home. I've been trying out the Surgi Brazilian Waxing Kit. The kit comes with the container of wax, pre-epilation oil, two little spatulas, and detailed directions. The wax is microwaveable so it's easy to use at home.

Here's what the wax looks like:

Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. It's still painful of course, but it works really well and it's a much cheaper alternative to getting paid to be waxed. I would recommend doing fairly small patches because it's less painful that way. You can get a 3-pack from Amazon for ~$17, and each container lasts for quite a few uses.
