Zoya; Bevin

Swatches & Review
Zoya Bevin is from their Spring 2012 True collection. Out of all the colors in the collection, this was the only one I really wanted because it is green! I'm a sucker for any kind of green polishes, especially when it is a dusty green.
Bevin is a dusty grey-green. It reminds me of OPI's Mermaid's Tears from their POTC collection, but Bevin is a bit darker, while Mermaid's Tears a brighter.

Overall, I really like this nail polish. The color is the perfect dusty green color and the application was perfect. The consistency was just right, not too thick and not too watery. Bevin can easily be used as a one-coater if you apply it thickly. It was not streaky at all, which is always a plus to me! I applied two coats for my pinky and ring finger because I used a really thin first coat, but I only used one coat for the rest of my fingers. I also like the brush on Zoya polishes because I find that it spreads out perfectly for application. I see myself wearing this polish a lot. Usually, when I like a Zoya polish, I would keep going back to wearing it. When I don't like a Zoya polish, I will never go back to it, so it is always a hit or miss for me. Anyway, what do you guys think of this Zoya polish? Their Spring collection? Own it? Love it? Let me know! :)

Random Facts

About Me
So, I'm pretty sure no one really knows much about me, so I decided I will just post a few random facts about me. It might be interesting to you, it might not be, but it is just for the fun of it :)
1) I drink about 8 cups of water a day.
2) I am obsessed with flossing my teeth.
3) I have two dogs. One is named Brownie, and one is named Coffee.
4) I like to do random things in public (such as skipping down a hill and singing Yankee Doodle), just so some strangers can get a good laugh out of it (and I'm pretty sure I may not see them again).
5) I have more makeup than I will ever need.
6) I do not like bacon.
7) I love chicken wings and ribs.
8) I normally get about 8+ hours of sleep per night.
9) I am insecure about my lips and when I talk because my lips are not straight.
10) My left hand is slightly bigger than my right hand, so my nails on my left hand are smaller than my right hand, but my nails on my right side are a lot slimmer. (Which is why I usually photograph my left hand).
11) I love going out in the rain with a t-shirt on just to step on puddles.
12) I am allergic to the sun/heat. When I'm in the sun for too long, I start breaking out in hives.
13) I can not stand knowing my room is not vacuumed every other day, because I am allergic to dust.
14) I like going to the beach.
15) It makes me happy when I see new followers on my blog (I'm sure that's everyone though :D )

Is there anything about you that you would like to share? I would love to know! :)

MAC Hot 'N' Saucy Tendertone

Swatches & Review

My MAC collection is very limited, especially since the only items I own from MAC are lipsticks. When I first heard of their tendertones in their Shop Mac, Cook Mac Collection, I just had to see what all the talk was about. After seeing that the tendertones were sold out quickly online, I headed to my local MAC counter to get one to try myself! I purchased the Hot 'N' Saucy tendertone, which is a sheer red. I was lucky enough to grab the last one too! There were also three other colors, but I liked the red one the most.

Overall, I really like how they feel on my lips. They are smooth and non-sticky. Although it is $15 for basically a tinted lip balm, I definitely do not regret my purchase because I absolutely love it! And I love the smell of it because it smells like....

YES, those OUCH bandaid gums that reminds me so much of my childhood! The only complaint I have is the packaging because it is inconvenient for me to just pull it out my purse and dab my finger in it to apply it. I wish it came in a squeeze tube so it would be easier to apply, but I can deal with it. Oh, & it has SPF12, which is like a bonus for me :) What do you guys think? Own it? Love it? & any recommendations for me to try more MAC products? Let me know!

Claire's Candy Shop

Swatches & Review
This is Claire's Candy Shop. When I first heard of a "dupe" for Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop, I just had to go get it to try it for myself since I can not bring myself to spend $18 on one bottle of polish yet, considering I still have to pay for books and tuition for school. Anyway, Claire's basically kept the name that was originally DL. I do not own the original DL Candy Shop, but from swatches that I have seen, Claire's is a darker pink and Claire's has more bigger glitter. Although this is not 100% like DL's nail polish, I still love it. It is so girly and cute!
Since this is a glitter, it is expected to be chunky and gritty. I used two thick Seche Vite top coats and it felt a lot smoother on the nails.

Overall, I recommend this nail polish if you love glitter nail polishes! I used three coat in my swatches. Since the pink is sheer, I like how you see the glitter from the previous coats over a light pink polish. This was purchased for $5. Own it? Love it?
