O.P.I I Think In Pink: Swatches and Review

I am normally a fan of bright polishes or dark vampy ones. Give me a vivid blue or a creamy red any day! I tend to stay away from petal pinks because I find them too sheer and just too girly. Will I Think In Pink convert me? Let's find out!

 

I think it did! This polish was released for Breast Cancer Awareness and a part of the price of $8.50 went to cancer research. I like that it isn't a sheer french manicure pink, but that it has a tone of bubblegum to it.

 

 

The formula on this is strictly cream, not too thick and easy to distribute on the nail. I used three thin coats to build up to the opacity I liked, but you could easily use more or less.

 

 

The nail line is still visible, but I like that look with the slightly deeper pink hue. It looks classy but doesn't wash my hands out too much. This lasted 5 days with minor tip wear.

 

Final Thoughts: A pretty twist on the too-sheer pink nail polishes out there, and can still be found in multiple sets and alone at Ulta.

 

Price:  9/10

Staying Power: 9/10

Packaging: 10/10

Color/Wearability: 9/10

Quality/Branding: 10/10

 

Total: 47/50 = A = Happy Panda!

 

Do you love or hate pink polishes? Do you have a favorite?

Khroma Beauty: Kim's Kardazzle Swatches and Review

As many of you may know, the Kardashian's have further taken over the world with the launch of their beauty line aptly name Khroma Beauty (because everything has to start with a K, as part of world domination strategies).

As a beauty junkie, and having secretly watched some episodes of the show when they formulated the line, I wanted to see if it lived up to all the effort they *seemingly* put into it.

Ulta carries the line, as well as their website, and I fell in love with these palm sized palettes for $12.99. Each girl has one, but I picked up Kim's.

 

The palette comes with a mirror, 8 shadows (4 matte, 4 shimmer), a blush, a highlighter, and a bronzer in a cute croc-inspired case.

 

 

This is tiny enough to put in an evening clutch but does not feel cheap. It is sturdy!

 

 

The face colors are nice but not spectacular. They are good for my skin tone because I am so pale, but on deeper complexions I do not know if this would be usable. The blush is a bright pink, the highlighter a soft champagne, and the bronzer a matte cinnamon. I will use it for contouring!

 

Keep reading to see the real stunners of the palette!

 

 

These are decently sized (about 1"x1") and are in shades of black, white, gray, and blue for Kim's signature smokey eye look!

 

 

From left to right: A matte gray, a light silver, a matte black, and a matte navy.

 

 

From left to right: A shimmery white, a glistening blue, a shiny gunmetal, and a black with iridescent glitter.

 

The shadows apply with ease and stay about 8 hours with primer. Not bad. Look coming soon!

 

 

Final Thoughts: If you like the Kardashians and want a go to palette for night-time looks, Kim and Khroma Beauty has you covered!
