Wishlist Wednesday: Tangerine Edition
Today’s Wishlist Wednesday is inspired about the new series I just started called Tangerine Tuesday, since I love everything orange lately. What better to celebrate an orange series with a bunch of orange things on my wishlist? Sounds good to me!
1. ALDO Brendle in Orange, $29.99 (reg. $60.00)
2. Essie “Fear or Desire” Nail Polish, $8
3. Prada Candy Eau de Parfum ($80-$108)
4. Kate Spade “Cobble Hill Lacey” Wallet in “Creamsicle,” $198
5. ASOS Curve Exclusive Lace Dress in Orange, $60.88 (ACTUALLY just picked this up online on memorial day, since they had 25% off)
6. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain in “No. 8- Orange de Chine,” $32
A few of these items are definitely attainable, but some of them are just poor college graduate pipe dreams. ONE DAY! Let me know what’s on your orange-inspired wishlist!
Tangerine Tuesday #1: Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of The Year Lipstick in Tangerine Tango
I’m starting a new series, yay! This one is very fitting for me, because you know I love ORANGE! Also, since Pantone‘s color of the year is Tangerine Tango, it’s a trendy little color. I don’t discriminate on shades: from coral to carrot, it’s all orange! I’ll be posting anything orange: from beauty, to clothing, to purses, to food. I have been obsessed with Pinterest lately, so I’ve been finding a lot of fun stuff! I will try to do every Tuesday, but of course, things happen!
For my first Tangerine Tuesday I thought it would be clever to post my swatches of Sephora + Pantone’s Color of The Year Lipstick in Tangerine Tango. Unfortunately, this is the only piece from this collection that I picked up, but I still love all of the other products– they look awesome. Actually, one of my instructors at FIDM worked on this line, which was cool to hear about. They will be launching collections throughout the year that suit seasons and different color palettes!
This lipstick, a seemingly whopping $18- has a lot of added fancy features that a beauty junkie like me would adore. The packaging is so sturdy and very cool. I’m keeping it because I love it so much. To some it may be wasteful, though. The actual lipstick tube itself is a very heavy-feeling metal. The lipstick closes magnetically! This was my first magnetized lipstick, and I’ve gotta say- it’s cool!
The lipstick itself is a pretty shade of tangerine-coral. It’s not as orange as I like my oranges, but I still love the novelty of it. I love the custom and different molding they used for the lipstick bullet-I wonder what their inspiration was for that. Regardless, it’s a beautiful lipstick.
I find that this lipstick is meant to be a hydrating and sheer formula, which it is. The sheerness of it makes it wearable for all occasions and all types of people. I swatched it on my hand to show the sheerness of it, but it is buildable. I think my swatch may be a tad-bit darker than what it really looks like. No lip swatch for this one, maybe I’ll do one in the future. I don’t like to do many lip swatches, but I’m feeling that it is necessary to show the real swatches of products. Anyways, not I’m turning into a rambly blogger.
If you want to pick this lipstick up, find it online or in Sephora stores for $18. It’s currently sold out online, but Sephora always restocks!
What do you think of this beauty? I approve!
Things I Love #3: Garnier BB Cream in Light/Medium (Swatches)
Garnier was smart enough to be one of the first drugstore brands to come out with a BB Cream-and I just had to try it! BB Creams are a phenomenon in Asia, and now women in the U.S. are bonkers for them! BB stands for beauty or blemish balm, combining numerous skincare ingredients to not only make the skin look good on the outside, but help to heal it. Of course, purchasing a more expensive brand may have higher quality ingredients and results, but I love the idea that anyone can afford to get their hands on a BB Cream, at the drugstore or prestige level.
The back of the bottle doesn’t have ingredients, which was weird, so I found them online for you.
A lot of these ingredients I do not recognize, but you can look them up online for their purposes. Essentially, there are skin conditioners, fragrance, and colorants- just different types. Also, remember when reading ingredient lists that the ingredients are listed from highest percentage, to lowest percentage.
I find this BB cream to work great for my foundation routine! I find it a touch too pink-toned for my skin, but I just blend it along my jaw. I wish they had a bigger color selection for ladies of all skin tones, too! It is a very thick consistency, but not cakey, which I LOVE. This baby feels ultra-light on my skintone, similar to a tinted moisturizer, but with more coverage. I am so glad I don’t have to rock a full face of foundation now in this heat! It goes on quite dewy, but that’s nothing a little powder can’t get rid of!
You can find Garnier’s BB cream for around $12.99 at many drugstores and mass-retailers.
Hope that my mini-review helped you ladies out! This is becoming my summer staple!
Wishlist Wednesday: WEN Summer Mango Coconut Cleansing Conditioner
This week I’m lusting after a great WEN product that I already love, but in the Summer Mango Coconut Scent. This would definitely be a perfect product to primp your hair in the summer! I really love the WEN Cleansing Conditioners, but I ran out of mine (I know I had an extra bottle in my old apartment…but it went missing? Peculiar…) Anyways, you can find this product already on qvc.com for $29.00! Doesn’t it sound delicious?
