B&BW Liplicious Heart Lip Balm Pics and Swatches

I found these at B&BW the other day.




I tried searching for them to find a review or swatches or ANY info and found nothing. I did find a discontinued PINK lip balm that looked similiar.

I thought these might quench my need for these, since I've read such mixed reviews on them:

Anyway the heart lip balms leave much to be desired:
this is after a few swipes

same order as above
 I haven't worn them on the lips yet, but I could smell the citrus and vanilla as soon as I open the package.

Speaking of the package, one of them was broken and I have to hold the part of the tube that swivels up so it doesn't swivel back down. The packaging is very flimsy.

Nevertheless, these are adorable! I got them for $8 each but right now they have a B2G1 free.

Have you seen these around?

Zoya Feel Swatches


I would have had these swatches to you earlier, but I got married on Friday and went on a little getaway!

Anyway...here's my swatches:


 Avery: Full coverage, blonde beige cream



Kennedy: Full coverage, pale french beige cream



Kendal: Full coverage, rose quartz beige cream



Megan: Full coverage, taupe gray cream



Kristen: Full coverage, gull gray cream



Carey: Full coverage, periwinkle gray cream

All of these covered really well in 2 coats. My favorite is Carey, I'm wearing it right now. These are all perfect comfy colors for winter!

What do you think of this collection? Which one is your favorite?

Zoya Gems and Jewels Swatches


I received the Zoya Gems and Jewels Collection today along with a Zoya Remove + and I had to swatch them today for all of you!


Warning: some of the indoor ones (the first ones in the series of colors) are kinda fuzzy, but they are the best representation of the color.





Rina: Full coverage, rich green metallic shimmer













Kissy: Full coverage, party pink metallic shimmer








Twila: Full coverage, icy blue metallic shimmer








Noel: Bold blue glitzy, glitter glaze! (with unique bar glitter)








Holly: Gorgeous green glitzy, glitter glaze (with unique bar glitter)







Izzy: Vivid pink glitzy, glitter glaze (with unique bar glitter)




Remove + worked excellently in this swatching extravaganza! It kept my nails looking great and it smelled wonderful!



I love the glitters! They did gather around the tips a bit, but I was in a hurry to get these swatched. It would probably be best to wait a bit in between coats for those. My favorite of these is Twila.

The metallic shimmer were fantastic, too! Izzy and Holly were thinner than Noel, but it made it easier to get one coat each of these. My favorite of these was Noel, though. Can you tell blue is my favorite color?

Have you grabbed any of these?

bigRuby Nail Tattoos

I was sent some bigRuby nail tattoos a while back and I was naughty and lost them. But I found them again and I used them to do a 'summery' mani.

I used an old SH Opal for the base and Orly Cherry Bomb topped with Zoya Tanzy for the tips.


Then I added a bigRuby orange star for an accent as well as...




a cute little whale! IDk I thought it was summery!

These were super easy to use and look wonderful! My kinda nail art!

Thanks for looking!
