China Glaze Sunsational Neon Cremes Swatches/Review + Win 3 (of YOUR choice) China Glazes from the Sunsational Neons Collection!

Purchased by me.

I am a Neon Fanatic – give me anything neon, and believe you me, you will see one happy girl. I have so many neon things – shoes, clothes, lipsticks, and of course, nail polish, so when I heard about the Sunsational Neons 2013 Collection, I was MORE excited about this than the holographic collection that was put out by China Glaze earlier this year! I picked 3 – Highlight of My Summer, Son of a Peach, and That’s Shore Bright. Shall we get to the swatches/review and end with a surprise?!

Okay, so let’s start off with mint delight, Highlight of My Summer. Well, to sum it up, it really WAS the Highlight of My Summer because I’ve been stalking Lime Crime for the “neon” mint, and this one looked like it came close and was easier to get my hands on, so I went ahead with it. Beautiful! It was definitely difficult to use just like most bloggers mentioned. It’s chalky and streaky, and since it dries satin matte, you need to move quick. I would suggest starting off with a thin coat and building up as best as you can. I managed to get it clean in 3 coats. Note: I topped all my swatches off with Dazzle Dry top coat (thick and gel-like, so any lumps you may see may be the top coat not the China Glaze.)

Have you purchased your gifts for Father’s Day for the special Dads in your life? Are you like me and get stuck when you have to think of ideas? I remember once I gifted my Dad a pencil case. You might want to give that special Daddy something he can ACTUALLY use (although I am positive he treasures it to this day)! I’m here to help!

MAC All About Orange Collection Swatches/Review

Purchased by me.

Orange lipsticks are another (besides purple) favorite color of mine to wear, so when I heard about this collection, I prayed that I wouldn’t want them all. Well, I did, but I used a little self-control and hauled only 4 out of the 7 lipsticks and 1 out of the 3 blushes. No nail polishes, though. I have enough of those, right?! ;)

Okay, so here’s what I hauled. These are ALL Limited Edition, so if you can still find them at your local Macy’s/Nordstrom/Dillards/Belk, grab them. The last I checked, 2 – 3 days ago, 7 were left of Tangerine Dream, a yellow-orange. So, don’t think on them!

Sweet & Sour – Cremesheen
Sushi Kiss – Satin
