Zoya Naturel 3

Hi Dolls:) I know have been away for a while, so a quick update on what is going on with me... Well the holidays are always hectic at my house; trying to get everything done, presents wrapped, goodies baked and a houseful of family. Right after Christmas I had surgery on my right foot and have been laid up on the couch for the past 2 weeks!!! Good news is I get my stitches out Wednesday and I have no more pain in my foot!!! I am trying to get back into my groove of painting and posting and hopefully I will get there soon!!!  But for now I have the newest transitional collection from Zoya, Naturel 3:) 

*press sample*

First up is Gina, a medium chocolate brown that is just slightly dusty! Like those perfect brownies that you can't say no to, Gina is perfect but no risk of breaking that resolution to eat healthier!  

 Debbie, is a plum brown creme:) This is one of those colors that you think is one color until you see it in direct light and realize it is a totally different color... like those boots that are totally black in your closet but turn out to be a really dark brown as soon as you step outside!

 Mary, is a medium raisin creme! This beauty is a lighter version of Debbie:) Not quite brown, but now quite plum... a perfect in-between!!!

 Jill, a light mauve creme that is just slightly rosy. Jill did funny things to my skin tone and even though you can't see it in the pics, it made my hands red. Jill is very traditional and makes me think of Downton Abbey for some reason.

 Cathy is described as a light pinky nude creme, and in the bottle this statement is as true as they come. However when I put Cathy on I could really see the yellow/beige undertone:( This looks awful on me and I don't mind saying so!

 Tatum, is a beige nude creme. This beauty is neutral and warm and just a little lighter than nude. A great palette cleanser polish, you know that color you wear that still looks polished without being distracting!

This collection also has 3 coordinating lipsticks!!!! Maxwell is a deep plum with a slight fuchsia fleck and a matte finish! Paisley is a nice blush color that is slightly sheer with a classic cream finish.  Cameron is a slightly beige leaning nude with a classic cream finish:) 
I love the idea of this whole collection! Like all neutrals, some will just not work for you and some will work perfectly!!! And now would be a great time to grab a few from this collection. Zoya is running a great promo right now, ANY 4 Lipsticks or Polishes for FREE with a $15 S&P charge or absolutely free with any $30 purchase!!!!  Like I said a great time to grab a few!!!

Zoya Whispers Collection Swatches and Review

Happy New Year Dolls!!!! Today I have the Zoya Whispers Transitional Collection 2016 to share with you guys! Now to be honest I wasn't that excited about this collection... Mostly because pastel neutrals tend to look awful on me, they normally either washout my skin tone or make it look yellow:( Well I can say that I didn't have either of those problems with this collection:) The tones of these polishes seem to be formulated in such a way that even us ivory skinned girls can rock them without looking washed out!!!
*press sample*
First up is Misty! Not quite a taupe, not quite a grey, but with just a slight hint of green.  This is definitely a unique neutral!!!

April, is a light rosy blush that leans slightly peach!!! This was the one that I was just sure would look terrible on me, but I was pleasantly surprised!!! This beauty is my mannequin hand match!!!!  

Cala is a soft nude that leans yellow!!!! This was the biggest surprise out of the bunch! Pale yellows are notorious for washing out pale skin but this one doesn't!!!! 

Lake is a beautiful serene pale blue!!!! This beauty has a glow about it but I just can't put my finger on what it is!!!!

Ireland is a muted pale green that is the perfect balance between blue and yellow!!!! This beauty is subtle but eye catching:)

Eastyn is a greyed purple almost lavender beauty!!! I can see this being very easy to wear and a great base for some nail art!!!!   

The formula has perfect consistency although it is not a pigmented as I would have like and full coverage took 3 coats for all but Eastyn. This collection is available on www.zoya.com for $54!!!! My Faves are Misty and April, what are yours???? Oh and Zoya is having an awesome deal going on right now!!!
