Sea Spray is a dusty light blue/grey nail polish with silver shimmers. It was released with the Anchors Away collection which came out in Spring 2011.

I found the consistesy of this nail polish to be a little thick, but not to the point that it was difficult to apply. Sea Spray was a little streaky on the first coat, but it went on much smoother on the second coat. It was fully opaque after just two, thick coats, but I applied three coats just to make sure that it looked even. Sea Spray has silver shimmer but it hardly shows up on the nails.

My Opinion: 

Sea Spray is a really beautiful and neutral nail polish that is perfect if you just want to wear something very simple on your nails. If you are into light blue/grey nail polishes, I highly recommend that you check out this nail polish from China Glaze.

Wholesale-dress.net: Look Of The Day, Photos & Review

Hey Sweeties :)

Tonight's post is going to be all about the messenger bag and pink chiffon skirt that I recently received from wholesale-dress.net. I'm going to share my review of the two items as well as show you how styled both pieces. I hope you enjoy this post, let me know what you think about the look I created in the comments below :)

What I'm Wearing: 

♥ Denim Vest from Gina Tricot. 

♥ Top from H&M. 

♥ Skirt from Wholesale-dress.net. 

♥ Shoes from Jeffrey Campbell.

♥ Handbag from Wholesale-dress.net.

Review - Fashion Special Style Casual Double-use Bag in Black:
I have been wanting a handbag like this for a very long time. This is very similar in style to the popular Mulberry Alexa bag, but this one is a lot cheaper. This handbag is only $11.19 which is a total steal in my book.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this handbag. It is the perfect everyday handbag because it is nice and big and it can fit a lot of stuff which is very important for us girls. We usually like to carry our entire life in our handbags, ha ha! The bag also has a lot of pockets inside which is great for keeping your keys, phone and other things you need to have easy access too :) 

Where to buy?
The bag is available at Wholesale-dress.net for $11.19. You can find the bag here. 

Review - New Style Irregular Lap Pink Chiffon Beach Skirt:
I absolutely love this pinky peach chiffon skirt, isn't it beautiful? It is so pretty, flowy, girly and fun, the perfect skirt for the summer. I have used it a few times now and I'm completely obsessed with it and I want it in every single color available, ha ha! I know for sure that this skirt is going to be a big favorite of mine for the summer :)

Where to buy?
The skirt is available at wholesale-dress.net for $5.95. You can find the skirt here.

NARS Lipstick in Vendanges: Review, Photos & Swatches

Hey Sweeties, how are you guys doing? :) 

Vendanges is a sheer plummy brown lipstick with a slightly glossy finish. It was just released as part of the NARS Summer Collection but you can also find it in their range of sheer lipsticks. Its long lasting color pigments have been suspended in this translucent formula to provide a sheer, natural tint to the lips.

Vendanges is the French word for “harvest” which is the perfect description of this sheer plummy brown lipstick. Keep reading if you want to know how I feel about this product from NARS :)

I love that Vendanges is sheer, because that makes it more wearable for people with different skin tones. You can apply it with a light hand for just a wash of color or you can build it up and make it look deeper, it all comes down to personal preference.


 ♥ NARS Lipstick in Vendanges.

I do like how soft Vendanges feels on my lips, but I feel that it gets a little dry after a while. But that little ''problem'' can be solved with adding a little bit of a lip balm before you apply the lipstick or a lip gloss after. 

 ♥ NARS Lipstick in Vendanges.

I'm a huge fan of the NARS packaging. The lipstick comes in a nice and dark tube which is matte and has the NARS logo in white on the lipstick cap. I think the black, matte packaging makes their products look really classy, sleek and well put together.

I really like that NARS decided to add this lipstick to their summer collection, because its not your typical summer shade. To me, this is more of a fall/winter shade and a color that I usually don't wear during the summer, but I have to admit that it works.

My Opinion: 
Vendanges is a beautiful and very wearable lipstick that you can use in the summer as well as in the fall and winter. Vendanges is a lipstick that I think is going to look great on a lot of different skin tones because of how sheer it is. You can apply it with a light hand for just a wash of color or you can build it up and make it look darker, it is all about your personal preference.

Overall, I think Vendanges is a beautiful lipstick. If you are into deeper lipsticks, I highly recommend that you check this one out. I will definitely be wearing this lipstick in the summer as well as fall and winter :) 

Where to buy?
Vendanges is available on HQ Hair for £17.50. You can find it here.
