I am currently loving hot pink for summer. I finally have a tan, and pink tones seem to really pop on my newly acquired golden skin. I say this because I am very fair during the winter months...you guys will see! Last week, I painted my nails a bright, vibrant pink. I used Nic's sticks by O.P.I. in the color "cram for an exam." Also loving the fun name! If you aren't familiar with Nic's sticks, it is a polish that is dispensed from a pen, rather than the traditional bottle. This was my first time trying polish from a pen, and I found it very easy to apply. You simply push the bottom of the pen and the nail polish comes out onto the attached brush at the top. It's a bit messy, and I wish the brush wasn't so flimsy but I still like the concept and I plan on buying more. But that's not my rave - the hot pink color is! Look how it stands out





Not only is hot pink, well HOT on the nails, but it also looks good on lips too. I have been wearing MAC's Viva Glam 5 lipstick paired with MAC's Eclectic Edge lipglass from the Colour Craft collection. Now, this combo sort of changes with certain lighting. At night, the colors look more purply-pink, and that is also gorgeous. But during the day, this lip combo gives a pretty and fun hot pink tint to my lips. I have been wearing this almost every day.

I am drooling... I went on Temptalia.com and saw the new fall collection for Tarte cosmetics. I better start saving, because this femme fatale pallete has my name all over it! Go check out Temptalia's website if you haven't already. It's a makeup lover's dream <3
Nothing too exciting, but let's take a peek!

This purse is so roomy. I love the caramel color too, very cute for summer. I actually bought it at Old Navy for twenty dollars!

I love the hot pink lining:


Here is my purple wallet from Forever 21, a pair of earrings that I wear a lot, a couple of gold bracelets, and my keys.


I love to read, and Burned is my newest novel for summer. I also carry my checkbook and a movie stub from seeing "Funny People" this past weekend with my boyfriend. I used to collect all the stubs from our date nights, but there were just too many to save so I have since stopped doing that.


Here is my makeup bag from MAC's Graphic Garden collection. I love the print! Although the white rose bag from the other brush set was a bit cuter in my opinion ;) I also have a body spray from V.S. and their moisture salve that I raved about in a previous blog.


Here are the contents of my makeup bag...can you tell I have a love affair with MAC Lippies?
