It's no doubt that spearmint and sea foam have been popular colors for a while, but now more than ever I am looking to update my summer wardrobe with these dresses. Even though the price tags are a bit steep (hello, $1,300 Herve Leger) I am definitely on the hunt for similar dresses.

friday night with too faced's shadow insurance palette

I recently purchased Too Faced's Shadow Insurance Policy High Impact Eye Shadow Collection and finally used it tonight. I needed a new Shadow Insurance primer so I decided for a few extra dollars, to try out this high-pigmented colored palette. I love this palette because its so dramatic and rich in color and includes some of the most popular Too Faced eyeshadows. 




For tonight's look I used a blend of  Full Frontal - a shimmery chocolate - and Glamazon - a silvery champagne from the collection - on the lid- as well as Socialite - a pink copper iridescent color - in the crease. For the highlight I used Sin from Urban Decay's NAKED palette, but any soft and shimmery pale color will do. I also used a touch of Skinny Dip - a metallic cobalt - on my water line.

chanel aqualumiere lipstick - no.70 montego

I wanted to share with you guys one of my go-to lipsticks - Chanel Aqualumiere Lipstick No.70 in Montego. This lipstick is no longer made by Chanel, but it's one of my favorite sheer, sparkly pinks I own. 

This color is very light pink and almost iridescent, which is hard to photograph.  But what I love about this lipstick is its smoothness. It contains Vitamin E and shea butter, so it leaves your lips hydrated and soft all day and slows down aging effects. 

I also love how it complements almost any eye makeup look I go for.
