Zoya Whispers collection

Today I have for you the much anticipated Zoya Whispers collection for spring 2016!
These fun muted nude creams are the perfect transition from winter to spring.
The formula on these polishes were great. No streaking. They were all opaque in 2 coats. Application was perfect. I really liked these!
I have 2 coats of each polish on in the photos below.
Check out Zoya's website to purchase these darling colors. Their retail is $9 per bottle.

So definitely let me know what you think about this collection. I was on the fence about them until I tried them on. I am really digging these muted nude cream colors lately. Overall I have to say I really enjoyed them all. My favorite would have to be Ireland!!

NYC BB creme love

Today I have some products from NYC~ New York Color. They released 3 products, a BB cream, and BB Bronzer and a BB powder. 
I tried these for awhile to get a good feel for them. 
The BB Creme was nice. It's a very sheer coverage. It seemed to stay for a good amount of time. 
Paired with the BB Powder it stayed more matte then on its own. 
The powder I received was a little darker on me so I used it sparingly. 
I think the BB Powder alone was good as well. It's not as finely milled as what I am used to. But I think it will work! :)
I had a tricky time with BB Bronzer. Not that it isn't a good product, I just have a harder time with creme bronzer than any normal person. The color was good tho with this bronzer. 
These all retail around $4 wherever NYC products are sold.

These are pretty good for their price point. If your on a budget I think you will find they'll work pretty well! 
Let me know your thoughts.

Rimmel Keep Calm Balm

Today I have 4 of the 5 Rimmel Keep Calm balms to show you.
These retail for around $2.50 at Walmart. The consistency and formula on these are really nice. The color pay off is pretty sheer, but these are balms so that would be why lol! The smell is like an imitation watermelon smell. It disapates after awhile. I wasn't a big fan on the smell but I can get past that with the feeling of moisturization they give!

Rimmel Keep Calm Balm
Clear, Pink Blush, Rose Blush & Violet Blush

Rimmel Oh My Gloss

Hi lovelies! Today I have a few of the Rimmel Oh My Gloss lipglosses.
I really had a blast with these. The lipgloss states it has up to a 6hr. staying power and I have to say that's pretty gosh darn true. I was very pleased with these and can't wait to get some more. The color selection is great. The glosses have a bit of a light perfume smell, but disappears very quick. These weren't terribly sticky. They do have some stick to them but that comes with any long wearing lipgloss. These retail for around $5.50 at Target! 

Stay My Rose, All Night Long & Go Gloss or Go Home

Go Gloss or Go Home

So tell me what you think! I really like these and can't wait to get my hands on more!
