This month for foundation I've been loving the Physicians Formula Talc Free Mineral Wear Mineral Powder foundation. I wear the shade buff beige. It gives good coverage and it lets your skin breath. It's perfect for those days where you don't want to wear much make up but you still want to cover your blemishes. I usually wear concealer and then put the powder foundation and it lasts for most of the day. The only issue I have with it is that it makes my skin look shiny towards the end of the day and I have dry skin so I don't usually look shiny. Also the brush that comes with it is pointless. It's too small and it feels rough on the skin so I wouldn't recommend using it. I've been using the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush to apply this foundation and any other kind of powder product to my face and it's amazing. The brush is so soft and it blends out products really well. I love it so much. It's my favorite make up brush that I own. It also washes very easily. For blush I've been obsessed with the MAC Mineral Blush in Dainty. It's my first MAC blush. The color is described as a yellow toned pink with gold pearl. I just call it the perfect every day pink. A little goes a long way. It's easy to blend out and provides a nice glow. On my nails I've worn OPI You're Such a Budapest for the majority of the month. It's a pretty blue/purple shade. It's the perfect spring polish for me because looking at it makes me happy.  On my lips I've been loving the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey. It's one of those your-lips-but-better shades. It's a dusty rose mauvy color. I don't know how to describe the color but it looks really nice and natural on the lips. It works with any kind of make up look. It's also great for on the go because you just put it on and don't even have to worry about it.It stays on for a long time because it's a stain. Even though it's a balm stain I still apply lip balm before applying the product because my lips always get dry. I finally got the Marc Jacobs Daisy roller-ball. I love this scent. It's light and girly and summery. I am obsessed with it.

NOTD: Rimmel Caramel Cupcake

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect nude polish. Essie's Sand Tropez has always been my favorite nude but I think I've found its rival for my favorite nude nail polish. Rimmel's 60 seconds nail polish in Caramel Cupcake is such a pretty color. It's not completely beige; it seems to have a slight pinkness to it. I would describe it as a caramel like beige with a hint of a dusty rose undertone. The polish also has a sheen to it.

3 coats and flash

The formula of this polish is pretty thick. Two coats is actually opaque enough but I put three because I felt like it makes the color look better. I really love this color. It's a nice change from the bright colors that I've been wearing in the past few months. I believe I paid $2.88 or something like that I know it was less than $3 at Walmart for this polish. I recommend it.

NOTD: OPI You're Such a Budapest

Recently I've been loving blue and lavender/lilac nail polish. OPI's You're Such a Budapest is from the Euro Centrale collection. This color has been raved about by so many people. This color has become one of my  my favorite Spring polishes. This color is the perfect in between color because it's not purple and it's not blue either. I would say it's a mix of a periwinkle and a lilac.

 This polish needs 3-4 coats for maximum opacity. It wears really well. The color lasts around 4 days with minimal chipping on my nails.

Whenever I wear this polish I can't stop looking at my nails. I have an obsession with this color. This polish just makes me happy.
