Plum Pop!

IMG_0752Brittany recently went to the NARS store to get matched with the perfect shade of lipstick. This season one of the best colors to wear is plums and purples, it really highlights all skin tones.

(Check out the NARS site here to see the different shades of satin lipsticks. However, you can visit any NARS counter or Sephora to have a specialist find the color that is perfect for you; it’s a lot of fun too!)

Do you have a favorite go-to brand for lipstick? We love NARS but for some cheaper options check out L’oreal and Maybelline, their colors last hours and are very bold!

Nail Art – Sticker Edition

The new rage in nail art is stickers that can last up to 2 weeks on your nail. They are awesome because they don’t chip or damage your nail. I decided to give one a try after finding a sticker that I didn’t think was too loud.

(They look pretty good! And they have some tiny rhinestones in them to add texture)

All in all, we are digging the stickers! So far it has been 6 days and they have yet to chip or flake! That is more than I can say for some of the professional manicures I have gotten. Some don’t last more than 6 hours!
