SquareHue June 2014 Box Swatches/Review

Hey guys! I have perhaps the best SquareHue shades ever made to share this morning. The June box totally and completely knocked it out of the park with three full-coverage, perfectly "summer" shades! This box was themed around Maui and I'll tell you what, I would wear any single one of these shades on a tropical vacation!

Wailea is warm peachy color, one of those classy neutral type of shades. This is two easy coats.

Ka'ahumanu is an incredible shade of turquoise. Seriously, if one color could epitomize the perfect ocean water, it would be this one. Two coats here as well. (And do me a favor and ignore that icky fuzz on my pinkie, okay? Cool.)

And last, but certainly not least, is the shimmery sky blue goodness of Ala Moana. So, so perfect. You guessed it, two easy coats.

Unbelievable. Seriously, how incredible is this collection? If you need a little push to sign up for your own SquareHue subscription, I think this is it. Go ahead and click on any of the links in this post and sign yourself up because honestly, $14.99 for these three polishes is a STEAL.

Zoya Awaken Collection & Monet Swatches/Review

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! ;) I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I'm in a much better mood now that it's starting to actually feel like spring! I have another beautiful spring collection to share today, this time it's the Awaken collection from Zoya. This collection consists of six polishes and one glitter topper. Unfortunately, my bottle of Brooklyn faced a violent death in transit (you'll see remnants of her golden goodness on the bottles in these swatches), so that one will be missing from my review.

Hudson is a deep lavender shade with silver shimmer. The shimmers in this collection are to die for! Two easy coats, formula is great.

Cole is a beautiful peachy orange shade. The formula here was a little testy... I used two coats, but the first was a little streaky. I'd recommend three thinner coats for this one.

Rebel is an absolutely dreamy sky blue shimmer. Perfect coverage in two coats. This is one of my favorites!

Dot is a pale candy pink color. It shares the same formula as Cole; this is two patient coats. I really, really love this color, so I'm absolutely willing to look over the slight formula issues.

Monet has a bunch of multi-colored cellophane glitters in a clear base. This is two coats over Dot. I didn't have any trouble getting the glitter out of the bottle here and I love how whimsical it looks layered over the light pink.

Dillon is a fabulous shimmery mint green. It reminds me of mermaids! The silver shimmer is perfection and it was easy to apply in two coats.

The Awaken collection and Monet glitter topper are available for purchase now on Zoya's website for $9 each and are absolutely worth picking up. I would at least recommend purchasing Dillon for a fun spring shade or Dot for a manicure staple, but I really don't think you could go wrong with any of these shades!

piCture pOlish Peaches n' Cream Review/Swatches

Goooood morning everyone! I hope you're all doing well! I know I haven't been posting as frequently as I used to, but I've been trying to catch up on all my swatching so I can post more. There just aren't enough hours in the day! However, I think you'll forgive me when you see this beauty!

Peaches n' Cream is a gorgeoussssss peachy coral cream that is so up my alley. This is two creamy, perfect coats. I hoard coral/peach shades, but this one is definitely heading to the top of my favorites list.

If you are interested in purchasing any piCture pOlish shades, you can do so directly from their website or you can find a more local distributor on their network page. You can also keep updated with piCture pOlish on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Youtube.

Sephora Disney Jasmine 'Magic Carpet Ride' Eyeshadow Palette Review/Photos

Are you guys ready for another gorgeous products from the Sephora Jasmine collection? This morning I have the Magic Carpet Ride eyeshadow quad to share with you. While the shadows are pretty, the packaging is the true winner here. I don't honestly think that they could have done a better job on the design!

The palette opens up and houses the four eyeshadows as well as a mirror and two small applicators.

Here's a macro of the four eyeshadows. Wonder by Wonder is the shimmery purple on the top left. Carpet is the glittery purple on the top right. Splendid is the shimmery peach/champagne on the bottom left, and Diamond Sky is the bold blue on the bottom right.

The swatches below of the shadows are in the same order as the shadows are in the palette above. I swatched them using the included sponge applicators over primer. Carpet was the only one that was a little problematic since it has glitter, but the others all applied beautifully.

This palette retails for $30 and can be purchased from Sephora. I love how it includes two easily wearable and two bolder shades! Diamond Sky is to die for!
