Favorite Nail Polishes

Most people seem to have more nail polish than me, but that's okay because I just buy colors if mine have gone bad or when there's a new trend. Most of my favorite colors aren't really fall colors as they are pastel or quite light. So lets get into it!
First off is the base/top coat which is Revlon multi care base+top coat (965). I have tried so many top/base coats, even the ones raved about like the Sally Hansen insta dri top coat. Every single time though, I have come back to this Revlon one. It doesn't have a weird smell and doesn't make the polish runny. It dries very fast too!
Next: L'oreal Colour Riche Nail Color in Versailles Romance (310). These are quite new polishes and so I picked a few up to test them out. This color is my absolute favorite as it is a perfect nude for people with lighter skin like mine, but they also have nudes for all different skin tones. It is a slight light pinkish nude color which goes with everything and would be perfect for the office.
The next three are all the same brand/type. I seem to always lean towards this line because they last so long and don't chip, plus the colors are gorgeous!
I have the Sally Hansen Xtreme wear polish in Lacey Lilac (270), Blue It (250), and Mint Sorbet (340).
Lacey Lilac and Mint Sorbet are perfect pastel colors and all have great coverage. Blue It is perfect for fall, being a dark metallic navy. I usually don't go for colors like this but it is just such a beautiful color!
If you're looking for polishes I definitely recommend these :)

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB

The Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream is a cheap alternative to some of the high end ones out at the moment. I generally have pretty good skin but I prefer to use medium coverage foundation so I never had the need to try BB creams.
But, it was on sale so I figured why not?
I am so glad I bought it because I cannot go a day without using it now. It's one of those products that you never realized you really needed until you got it.

The texture is slightly less creamy than other BB creams, like the Garnier or Dr Jarts which are more like moisturizers. I like this one a lot more than the Garnier one just because it has better shades. The Garnier BB light shade is actually quite dark and even though my skin isn't very pale, it still was way too dark for me and made me look like I had an orange fake tan!

I would say this is my favorite drugstore BB cream. It was great during the summer and now I can use it on days when I need less coverage and just layer foundation over the areas that need coverage. For a BB though this has great coverage and makes you look like you got a full 8 hours!

What are your thoughts on this BB?

L'oreal True Match Lumi Foundation Review

The L'oreal True Match Lumi Foundation is a drugstore brand makeup that is said to actually aid imperfections with continuous use. It is available in many shades with warm, cool and neutral undertones.
Since this had been raved about so much I figured I would try it out!

Okay first things first, I have never used any drugstore foundations because I find them either to not have very good coverage or I just don't like the consistency. I have to say though, I am in LOVE with this foundation!
It has great coverage, is very moisturizing, and lasts all day. It is a little runny which is a good thing since it doesn't sit on top of your skin or make dry patches worse. It feels like you have no foundation on but your skin looks flawless!

I have the shade n1-2 soft ivory which is a neutral. It is very easy to find your shade given all of the selections that they have. On some days I will use my Maybelline BB cream on my whole face and then use this foundation on the parts that need a bit more coverage. This foundation has a sort of satin finish which makes it look very natural, not matte or dewy.

Last but not least, I especially love that it has a pump so there is no mess or germs :)
