Bonjour! Ça va?
This is my first review of Laura Mercier products. I was instantly attracted to the beautiful, bold, punchy colours. The Très Chic collection is a limited edition, spring nail collection consisting of 5 colours that range from pastel to bright.
I picked up the two that I thought were going to be my favourites and I love them!! The polishes are contained in short, square bottles and are slightly smaller than the typical nail polish – 0.35 fl. oz. (10.35 ml) vs. 0.5 fl. oz. (15 ml) and they cost US$18 each. So the price is a little costly. The brush is short, and not like the Pro-Wides that you get with OPI. For those with long nail beds, you may have to use more strokes than you normally would. The formula is a little on the thin side, but smooth. I used 2 coats in the swatches, but I could have done with an additional one. Drying time is pretty fast. The formula is good, and standard for what is out there. They are also Big 3 free.
Onto the swatches!
The first one I picked up is Cabana.

Hey! It’s May allyuh!!! I can’t believe it! My favourite season is fast approaching, so I start looking forward to wearing very bronzy colours on the eyes and coraly ones on the cheeks.
A few months ago, I decided that I was going to try something from Mally Roncal’s line, mally. If you don’ t know, Mally is a celebrity makeup artist, who has worked on some of the top names in the entertainment industry, such as Ms. Jay-Z aka Beyonce. And I always check out what she has to offer when she appears on QVC, ‘cuz I secretly love her style! So I headed over to Henri Bendel in NYC and picked up this little beauty:

Hey!
So Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, is releasing their Spring/Summer 2012 collection on March 23rd. Closely following the hot trends of bold, saturated colours and colour-blocking, OCC presents The Garden.
From OCC:
Spring has sprung at OCC and hidden among the lilacs and pansies is a different shade of floral. Inspired by psychotropic and poisonous plants, this collection turns traditional spring pastels upside down, injecting them with hallucinatory notes of nearly-neon vibrancy. Mixed in are more subtle neutral lip shades, meant to be paired with a dizzying flash of color on the eyes, in this garden of earthly (and unearthly) delights.
The Garden Collection:
Lip Tar – a mix of brights and neutrals (as seen in the image from L to R)

When Lori Taylor tweeted last December about some new lipsticks that Smashbox was bringing out, I was intrigued! I was eager to feed my newfound passion for lipsticks. Fast forward to the new year and I couldn’t wait to place my order!
Smashbox’s Be Legendary Lipsticks are new for Spring/Summer 2012.
Smashbox's Be Legendary Lipstick
There are 22 shades, from neutrals to brights to deeps and they also come into a variety of textures from mattes to creams to shimmers. Smashbox also added shea butter and antioxidants Vitamin A and E for the creamy lipsticks. The shea butter adds creaminess and moisturization properties and the essential vitamins act as antioxidants and therefore can protect the lips. The matte shades also contains Vitamins A and E.
