I Love Spring Fashion and Beauty Tag!

Long time no see my loves! Sorry for the longer gaps in my posts, I've had a lot going on. But I am back with a tag for you all. Check out my must haves for the new spring season :)

1. Favorite spring nail polish?

I don't really have a favorite nail polish since I wear glitter powder 90% of the time; but I love hot pink nails. They just scream spring, mint is another favorite too.

2. What is your favorite lip color this spring?

I'm loving all of the Milani Color Statement lipsticks right now but my favorite would be Rose Hip. It's a beautiful, bright, Barbie pink lipstick and it is 10x better than MAC Candy Yum Yum.

3. What is your favorite spring flower?

White lilies! They're a so feminine and brighten up your day.

4. Favorite spring accesorry? 

Big, square sunglasses! I recently bought some from justfab.com and I love them so much. You can put them on with anything and they look great.

5. Favorite trend for spring?

Right now I love anything that is acid wash. Jackets, jeans, shorts everything!

6. Favorite perfume for spring?

Daisy by Marc Jacobs for sure. I usually like stronger scents for the winter and fall but for spring and summer this scent is so light and perfect.

Feel free to tag yourselves , I'd love to see what your favorite spring items are, ttyl <3

March Obsession: GOLD CHAINS!

Hello all! I had so much fun creating this post because I'm obsessed with gold chains and it seems everyone in Hollywood is as well. They're just so lavish I love them.

Didn't you all just die and go to gold chain heaven, OMG those Chanel chains are so beautiful. Are you all loving this trend as much as I am right now?

Trending: Barbie Pink Lips

Once MAC released Candy Yum Yum it seemed that pink lips were everywhere and everybody was itching to get their hands on it or similar dupes. With the weather warming up I think pink lips are perfect for spring; from pastel pinks to full on magenta. I am in love with pink lipstick and I feel every girl should have a go to Barbie lippie.

 *who says black girls can't wear pink lipstick? She is KILLING this photo!

*MAC Girl About Town $15

*Nars Schiap $25

I hope you lovelies enjoyed this post <3 you guys!  

Style Crush: Nicki Minaj

So I did a post on Nicki Minaj awhile back but her new style has me wowed. I loved her style when she first came out, black and pink hair, Barbie necklace and those fun, sexy dresses. Along the way it became a Harijuku/Lady Gaga mess. Her fashion lately has been on POINT and really shows off how beautiful she is. 

She went from this utter catastrophe...

 

TO THIS!

 *check out Kimmy though, just gorgeous! 

 

I love everything about her new look, this is fashion done right. She's more polished, but she's still Nicki. Even her makeup looks a million times better (who could forget those horrid contour photos *yikes*). I just love a look that is put together, and she does that effortlessly  and still looks youthful at the same time. 

And look at that body! I don't care what has been surgically enhanced, her body is banging! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, who are your current style crushes?

Makeup Haul: NARS, Makeup Forever, e.l.f. & MAC

Hey beauties! I have missed you guys so much! Sorry for the longer gaps in between posts, I've had a lot going on but I have not forgotten about you all. To make up for my absence I have a haul for you all! I hope you enjoy :)

MAKEUP FOREVER PRO FINISH POWDER $36

 I don't own ANY products from Makeup Forever, while I worked at Sephora I played around with the line but I never committed to buying anything. I am out of my MAC Studio Fix Powder so I wanted to try something new. I tried it at the store and I love it. It gives way better coverage than many other powders and it is a very matte finish. It's well worth the price. 

NARS BLUSH IN "LIBERTE" $28

*blush whore alert* I haven't bought anything from NARS in a long time. I've wanted this blush for awhile and I finally bought it. It's the perfect peach and I just love it. NARS just can't go wrong with their blushes.

NARS BRONZER IN "CASINO" $33

 This is another product I've had my eye one for awhile. Casino is the perfect bronzer for the brown girls and a great contour color for my paler ladies. I use it over my foundation as a powder and it looks great. 

MAC STUDIO FIX FOUNDATION $27

 

I needed a new foundation so I figured why not try this one? I like it but surprisingly not as much as my Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. 

MAC PREP + PRIME REFINED ZONE $21

 This thing is so tiny but so worth it. I have combination skin, so my T-Zone gets oily throughout the day. Since I've been using this stuff I have seen a difference. I ordered the MAC Oil Control lotion too to put with this, summer is right around the corner and no one wants to be dripping foundation!

e.l.f. CONTOUR AND BLUSH DUO IN "ANTIGUA" $8

 There has been a lot of hype surrounding this product and I must say I like it. It is NOT a dupe for NARS so whoever keeps spreading that lie needs to quit! But for $8 bucks it's nice. NW45 and below will get the best use out of this. I ordered another one so once that one comes in I'll do a full in depth review.

I hope you guys enjoyed my haul! Next up I will be doing a review on MAC Candy Yum Yum so stay tuned, thanks for reading. -Ash
