NOTD: Nicole by OPI Selena

I've seen the Selena Gomez collection for Nicole by OPI for quite some time at the drugstore. I liked most of the colors but it too me a while to actually buy one because I didn't know which one to get. A few youtubers that I love have bought the Selena shade. I've been looking for it everywhere for the past few weeks and it was always sold out. I finally found it the other day at a drugstore next to a Walmart and they had every color. Walmart was sold out. I just love this color because I don't have anything like this. 

Selena is a bright peachy pink color with a very, very subtle hint of shimmer. It just reminds me of Spring and Summer and makes me happy. It's currently snowing outside and looking at my nails is cheering me up today. You need about three coats for maximum opacity. I just love this color!

My brief thoughts on The Fault in Our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

John Green is a brilliant writer. This book is so beautifully written. It has the power to make you laugh and cry in the span of two pages. It ripped my heart out but I loved it. If you haven't read this book you NEED to read it.

March Favorites!

This past month I've been loving more natural looking make up. I've been obsessed with the beauty blender to apply my make up because it makes my foundation look flawless and natural. I've also been loving the Maybelline Age Rewind concealer in light. It does a good job at hiding my under eye circles and brightens up my under eye area. The Cover Girl Clump Crusher waterproof mascara has been my go-to mascara because it separates all my lashes without clumping and gives me great length. I prefer to use waterproof mascara to make sure that it doesn't smudge and stays in place because I have oily eyelids. I've been using Josie Marran Argan oil one everything, my hair, my face, my cuticles, my hands. It's my must have skincare product. I love it! I've been loving First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream as my hand cream. It works very well on my dry skin. 

My Nivea lip butter in Vanilla & Macadamia has been my best friend. It leaves my lips soft and moisturized. I've also been loving the Korres lip butter in Pomegranate as a wash of color on my lips on days where I don't want to wear much make up. I've also been using it as a cheek stain for a natural glow. My go-to every day lipstick has been the L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse lip stick in #174 Rose Taffeta. It's one of those my lips but better colors. It's a dusty rose color and it look amazing on my lips. I love this line of lipsticks because they're moisturizing and very pigmented. They also look natural on the lips. Even the bold colors look good. You can wear them sheer or build them up.

NOTD: Rimmel Sweet Lavender

Rimmel London recently launched their 60 second nail polish line in Canada. I've read a few reviews on the product so I decided to try it. It claims that you only need one coat and the polish dries in less than 60 seconds.

Sweet Lavender is a true lavender. It's a lavender with pink undertones. I love the color because it screams Spring to me. I wore it for Easter.

In regards to the claims this polish requires way more than one coat for maximum opacity. After one coat the polish was streaky and sheer. It looked better after two coats but three coats is ideal. This polish seems to dry in 60 seconds. I used Seche Vite as my top coat to make my nails look glossy. I kept the polish on for four days. Most of the nails looked perfect during those days. Two nails chipped after two days and one chipped on the third day and one chipped on the fourth day. 

Based on trying this polish I'd say the line is good. It's not the most long wearing polish and required three coats of polish but it's affordable and the colors look exactly like more expensive brands. The bottles are mini so they would be good for travelling. 

I've seen the price of these range from $2.88 to $5.49. It just depends where you buy it.

Josie Marran Argan Oil

Josie Marran Argan Oil is one of my favorite products. It has so many uses. I'm constantly finding uses for this products because I love it so much. 

I originally bought it to use as a face moisturizer during the winter because my skin gets so dry. It works really well. I quickly found myself using it for so much more. I started using it on my cuticles and I found that my nails are stronger and don't chip as easily as they used to. I use it on the ends of my hair and it doesn't look dull and dry. I also put some on my eczema and helps take it away. The product itself has no scent. A little goes a long way so even if you have the small bottle like I do it will last a long time. It's pricey because it's the purest form of argan oil that you can get. This product is a must have in my skincare routine. I think it's good to always have it around because there are so many uses for it and it's safe for all skin types. 

The 15ml jar retails for $18 CAN at Sephora.
