L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude

 (Picture on the left is my bare lip and picture on the right is my lip with Fairest Nude on.)
Some time ago I purchased the L'Oreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Fairest Nude. From the pictures it looks like it'd be a deeper natural lip color but it's actually a natural light pink. The finish is a creme finish with some nice shine and because it's a creme finish it is pretty moisturizing which is nice and it is also fairly opaque. The lasting power is good, you only have to reapply it every few hours. This lipstick runs around $6.00 which isn't too bad and you could probably get it for even cheaper because L'Oreal always has different coupons in the paper or online so look out for that. The smell of this lipstick isn't really my favorite.. It almost smells like roses and that's really not a smell I'm a fan of. I'd rather it smell like vanilla or something fruity because those are actually enjoyable smells! It reminds me of my grandmas perfume but that's just me. Now for the packaging it's just gold all over which once again reminds me of my grandma for some reason, it really isn't the nicest packaging in my opinion but that really isn't important. This is a really nice everyday lip color for lighter skin tones but if you are a bit darker, it could be a really nice nude. Overall I'd give this lipstick an 8/10 because it's a really nice lipstick but the smell and packaging is not the best.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure "Without a Stitch"


So this past week I wore the beautiful nude nail polish called Without a Stitch. It is by Sally Hansen and it comes from the Complete Salon Manicure line which claims to be a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color, and top coat all in one. I would have to wear more polishes from this line and try them out longer to be able to make a more in depth review about this line and be able to tell you whether it really is a 5 in 1 polish as it claims. This polish is a tan toned nude; I have been on the search for a nude with tan tones not pink tones so I was ecstatic to have picked this polish up. The color is opaque and only needs two even coats. However, this polish is a bit streaky which makes it kind of hard to make two even coats sometimes. The unique brush this polish has is a bit rounded on the tip which is helpful when applying polish right under the cuticle and it is also quite large which isn't such a bad thing. Also, this polish lasts about a week which is amazing! I love it when I can find a polish that lasts a while without a top or base coat but it should be expected with this polish since there is supposed to be a base and top coat already in it. This polish is however quite expensive, I bought it for around $7.00 from Target which is very expensive but since you don't need to use a top or base coat for it to last I think it is worth it. Overall, I think this is a great polish and is worth the price.
