FASHION: Minty Spring

April 15, 2014 9 Comments

Hi everyone! Adri of Adri's World. I have to say, the best part of fashion is the change of seasons, and the colors that come with it. This Spring we will be seeing a lot of pastels & Mint is my favorite. It can be styled with lighter colors for a softer look or with edgy prints like that leopard bag too!

I love that Mint can be worn with gold accents and with silver too, like in those glitter flats. Love!
A blazer can be a great way to add this color to an everyday outfit or maybe a cute top with jeans, a skirt or if it's warm enough shorts. And if you want only a bit of this color, an amazing nail polish, a bracelet or earrings will look perfect!

Are you a fan of Mint for Spring?

9 hottest nail polish

Today we're talking about nail polish.

With Spring headed our way - a lot of us girls will be looking for the newest trend in polish color. The HOTTEST nail polish in my opinion is Tom Ford. Why?

Because it stays on. A few weeks ago I bought only (1) by Mr. Ford to try it out, Bordeaux Lust & it's lasted me up to 4 days without even chipping! On top of that, the color is gorgeous & rich. The price is on the high-side, so if you can't see yourself scooping up $35 - I would opt for Illamasqua which is only $17 (mid-range) and is also long-lasting.

What is your favorite polish brand & why??

Beauty: Lancome

What's your favorite brand of makeup? For me, there are so many, I swear. But a few favorites are Laura Mercier, Chanel, Bobbi Brown, MAC & Lancome.

Well, the people over at Lancome sent me the most amazing goody bag & of course, Lancome has always been one of my go-to brands when it comes to beauty. My faves are the lip glosses & their new perfume called "La Vie Est Belle" - which means "Life is beautiful" --- smells great by the way! I'm now going to be giving this scent to my mom for her upcoming birthday.

So, let me break the down the goody bag:

The Gloss in Love. This gloss definitely loves the lips, with its shine & long-lasting effect. It totally moisturizes & has a cool click-to-open package. Never seen anything like that! It has a lip hugging applicator which I find to be very ideal - as it truly hugs the lips.

Juicy Tubes: This is my favorite lip gloss. It offers medium coverage while still providing color. Lips will be ultra-glossy with this tube-tip applicator, so if you like glossy - this is your gloss!

Vernis in Love. My 2 fave colors are 'Noir Caviar' & 'Violette Coquette ' This is a good quality polish, with fade resistant shine. Great lasting color & shine, that's what I love about it.

Bi-Facil. Lancome's eye makeup remover was one of the first I ever used. This particular one activates when shaken and totally removes your eye makeup. It also conditions and refreshes your skin. It leaves the eye feeling refreshed without that oily residue that some removers leave. I hear it's also idea for contact lens wearers.

Hypnose Drama. Their mascara rocks. My lashes are instantly longer-looking and dark. I love the volume & drama effect this mascara has. No clumpies or flakeys, that's why it's my fave.

Which makeup brands do you use?? Is Lancome on your list??

Hello MBG readers! It's Casie Mace bringing you a post about Nail Polish! How gorgeous are some of the nail colors available now??!! Pastels are one of the biggest trends for nail lacquers this season and there are three brands that just hit the nail on the head (though some of these colors are from previous collections). I'm mildly obsessed with Chanel's Ballerina (can you say perfect pink?).

And I love the periwinkle shade of Deborah Lippmann--it's the perfect hue if you're feeling a bit daring but want to keep it dainty.

Which one are you most excited to wear this season?!

Finally, Pink Nails....(Via Made By Girl)

I don't post too much about my own beauty products - but I thought this might be of interest to ladies out there who love nail polish! After being SICK for over week now- I started to feel 99% better today.... thank God!

So, in feeling better I felt I needed to treat myself to something nice, a manicure! It had been almost 3 YEARS since I had color on my nails!!! What was I thinking?!? I'm glad I decided to dive back into the polish pool & get these hands done. Not for anything, but Polish makes me feel girly & sexy! ! Know what I mean??

I actually did this manicure myself and chose a pretty HOT pink shade by Bonita Nail polish.

I found this nail polish at Francesca's Collection (you may have this shop in your area) and it comes in a small bottle with a pretty thick & flexible brush. Get this, they're ONLY $1.50 each or 2 for $2.00!!! You only get half the amount of what you get with a standard size polish, but so what.... these are great!

I've never tried these before - but I did manage to buy 4 of them in different shades. So far, I love them! Believe it or not, I applied one coat to my nails in this picture. Neat huh?

For those of you wondering...no, they're not available online. It seems you can only get them at Francesca's. Not sure why...

Either way, lets' do some girl talk.

What's your favorite nail enamel brand? Have you tried these little Bonita Enamels yet?? Let me know & please share your source.
