I have always loved to peruse the Essie nail polishes when I can, just for the pure joy of giggling at their names. Although I love the names and colors I had yet to purchase any Essie products, simply for the price tag. Somehow I feel that nine dollars for a nail polish is a bit unreasonable. However, I made my first venture into Essie with the polish color Sand Tropez.
Sand Tropez is a lovely tan color that I think will look really awesome when I start tanning and wearing all of my bright colors for spring and summer. After wearing it for this whole week I've been really impressed! Even without a top coat (I know naughty me!) It lasted with minimal chips for a few days. I think that's very impressive seeing as my nails tend to last about 20 minutes without a chip (topcoat included!). It has a really nice shine and I'm very impressed with the consistency and application. It does require a few coats as it is a pretty sheer, light color.
All in all, I'm very impressed with my first Essie purchase and hope to be expanding my collection. I think my next purchase will definitely be Mint Candy Apple!
Let me know what your favorite nail polish color is, I'm always looking to grow my collection!

Do you ever go out shopping and come home full of excitement for all of the new things you've bought? That was me last weekend, I picked up four new things from target all face/makeup related items and I made a huge mistake. So I'm here to tell you about it so maybe you can learn from my mistakes.
The four items I picked up were a new cleanser, moisturizer, mascara, and concealer. I of course immediately started them all into my daily skin care and makeup routine. That is where I went wrong.
I know it's hard to put your new products away right after you've purchased them. Heck the second I stepped in the door I tried out my concealer and mascara. The first day it wasn't too bad but it was later that I really hit some trouble, dry skin.
I usually have slightly drier skin as it's the winter for me and my skin is dry to begin with. But this is crazy. My the skin around my eyes got so dry that it stung putting makeup on and it only got worse.
I am nearly 100% sure now that it was the moisturizer that caused all the chaos but, for the first few days I honestly had no idea. The lesson here is to slowly add your new products into your makeup and skin care regime one by one so that if something goes wrong you can pin point exactly what it is.
Hope you're having a great day and comment down below if you've made the same mistake I had!
