Happy Halloween Dolls!
How are you all doing? I celebrated Halloween last night so I’m staying in tonight and watching scary movies :-).
For a few months, I had been all over anything military inspired in khaki and olive colors, but the fall sent me in a completely different direction. I’ve started to LOVE all things in nude and nude pink colors; the hue is really flattering and feminine, so girly without being a teeny bopper pink. A recent trip to Ulta fueled my current color crush. I picked up two Essie nail polishes in Not Just a Pretty Face and Eternal Optimist, $8 each; I also picked up two Ulta brand blushes in After Glow and Sweet Cheeks, $6.50 each. The total for these would have been about $30, but the polishes were on sale for buy one get one half off and the blushes were buy one get one free + an extra 20% off coupon…I got everything for about $16 :-). I LOVE sales!
The polishes are beautiful! They are completely opaque with 3 coats each and last about a week without chipping.
I hadn’t tried Ulta brand blush before, but I really liked the texture and color payoff on these. They are pretty finely milled (I didn’t blend them very well in the swatches). I plan on going back and getting more colors soon. BTW, I think After Glow is a pretty good dupe for NARS Orgasm blush, for a fraction of the price :-D.
How are all of you celebrating today? What are your current color crushes?

I love the pale pinks too. I wanted more in the spring but couldn’t find the color in clothes I liked. Every fall I fall in love with deep purples and cranberries 🙂 I’ve also been drawn to grey lately…
cranberry is an amazing color for you with your blonde hair and green eyes 😀
Ooh, those are pretty. They look like ice cream. Pale pink is tough for me — often too sheer, too cool, or too chalky.
Mmmm, ice cream! Yeah, the pinks can be tough. I was covered in blush from how many swatches I had to do before finding a good pink 🙂
ooh i want sweet cheeks! im really into grey right now, not very exciting but its such a pretty London-y colour…
I love greys! Especially when my nails/blush/gloss are pink 😀
love pink and grey together 😀
I love nudes/pinks! And Essie is my favorite polish, they’re known for their girly colors. You should check out Essie “Chastity”
I’m falling in love with the brand, the colors and quality are amazing!
