My Favorite Fall Nail Polishes

Though the weather is not quite chilly here yet, I have already said goodbye to bright,summery nail polishes and have started brushing on darker hues! Don't get me wrong, I do love some pink and neon but now I'm ready for dark and neutrals. I just love how a dark nail polish looks on short nails or the elegant look of a creamy neutral shade. So these are my favorite nail polishes for this fall.

 

Cherry by H&M 

Which is what I'm wearing today. I got it last year but I think it's still available.

Purple Magic by Essence 

This I have for 2 years already and it's a toe nail polish -from the Show Your Feet range- but I wear it on my fingers too. It is still available...as far as I know!

Purple by Victoria's Silk Touch 

This is the cheapest nail polish I own and I got it from a local store. It's not the best quality but I just love this dark aubergine shade so I keep wearing it!

Hot Coco by Essie

And this is the priciest nail polish I own. It has a top quality and an excellent color payoff but 14 euros for a nail polish it's just too much.

Oh De Prep by Essence

It is from the A New League collection and I don't thin it's available anymore. It's just the perfect chocolate brown shade with fine gold shimmer!Lovely!

I don't get the name by the way...do you have any idea what it means?

Perfectly flesh by Avon

This is a...perfectly flesh color. The ultimate nude! So elegant!I love Avon nail polishes by the way!

I can't find the name of this one by MNY

This is one of my all time favorites. It's a peachy nude color with tons of gold glitter! Amazingly beautiful.! Unfortunately MNY is not available where I live now...:(

Minimalistic Peach by Color Trend

The color payoff of this one...sucks. You have to apply 3-4 coats to get a decent result. So I use it as a top coat over a nude base and it looks pretty nice! It's not available any more.

So what are you favorite nail polishes for this fall? Any recommendations are more than welcome!

Thank you all fro stopping by!

The Body Shop All-In-One BB Cream Review

Not too long ago the Body Shop launched the All-In-One BB Cream (Color Adapting Tinted Cream) as a part of the All-In-One make up collection which also contains face base, concealer and blush. 

 The packaging of the TBS BB Cream is a metallic squeeze tube with a twist off top(25ml). It comes in three shades : 01 is the lightest with pink undertones perfect for fair skin. A bit too light for me though. Shade 02 is for mid skin tones (which is the one I ended up getting) and 03 for darker skin tones. (Both 02 and 03 have settle yellow undertones). 

 This product claims to be an all in one product providing 24h hydration ,a light to medium coverage without clogging the pores, an even finish and color adapting to you skin tone.

The BB Cream itself is a white thin textured cream (more on the looser, runny side I would say) with tiny bids of pigment that burst when you apply it on your skin.

The coverage of the product is similar to what a good tinted 
moisturizer would offer, it is a bit build-able though. I'm having a good skin period at the moment so the coverage of the BB Cream is quite enough for me but you would definitely need concealing if your dealing with blemishes or breakouts. 

The color adapting technology does work to some extend, you need to use the right shade though and I'm a bit concerned that when I loose my summer tan, shade 02 would be a bit dark for me.

The hydration that the BB Cream offers is not enough for my combination to dry skin so I need to use a moisturizer underneath. But then the finish becomes a bit too dewy so it definitely needs to be set with a powder, unless you are going for a no make-up dewy look (which I like a lot!). In that case I just powder the T-zone and I'm good to go! For an oily skin I would recommend no moisturizer underneath and just a light dusting of setting powder on top. 

I've been using it every day at work for the last 10 days and I must admit that it has a very good staying power. It does become a bit shinny though after 2-3 hours. What I don't like is that it has no SPF which means that you have to concern about that too. So moisturizer and sun block and the BB Cream and a setting powder may be too much for me on a daily base. That's why I wouldn't use it during the summer when I prefer a light face. But since the weather is getting cooler now I don't mind.

What I like a lot about TBS BB Cream is that it makes my skin even and fresh looking. I have same large pores around my nose and they did look smaller after using the product. 

In conclusion I must say that I did enjoy using TBS BB Cream. Since I'm going through I phase of a no make-up looks this product was perfect for that. It left my skin looking effortlessly fresh and clean. Do try it if you are looking for a good tinted moisturizer. Do not try it of you need high coverage or you have too oily skin since the finish is quite dewy. 

Have you tried this ALL-In-One BB Cream? Do share!
