Since one of my goals for this year is to shop less and use more of the products that I already own - this one of the ways I am trying to make it more interesting and fun.
I love changing up my wardrobe or my make up for the holidays or seasonal changes. Companies usually seem to want to make you feel like you have to get new products and new clothes and new decor every time the season change or a holiday comes around. Part of that is fun to me but a lot it also seems very unnecessary to me. This year I want to get into the Valentine's Day spirit without purchasing anything just for that reason. Of course Valentine's Day is about love but to me pink, purple, berry and red make the anticipation more fun. That is way this month up to the 14th February I want to put up post focusing on the color scheme that makes me excited for Valentine's Day. Today it is all about the pink products in my collection that I look forward to using this time of the year.
Manhattan Glowing Goddess Shimmer Powder Pink Paradise: I do own more than one pink blush but this is by far my most used bright pink cheek color. I love a fresh pink on my cheeks in the spring and summer time. I do not think I wore this blush in the autumn and winter at all and I am very much looking forward to using it again! This is a limited edition product that is no longer available but since this post is not about recommending you products to go out and buy I will also share products like this. It is all about shopping your own stash!
Catrice Ultimate Colour Lip Stick 370 In A Rosegarden: This is a wonderful rosé lip stick shade. To me this is a great everyday daytime color. I like Catrcie lip sticks and this one is no exception. There are a lot of colors and finishes to chose from in the Ultimate Colour range.
Catrcie Limited Edition Eve In Bloom Soft Duo Eyeshadow C02 Beauty Bouquet: These are probably the most used eye shadows that I own. The shimmery shade on the lid and the mat dark red in the crease make for a great combination on the eye. These colors could seem like they are hard to combine with other colors but I actually do not think so.
OPI Nail Lacquer Sweet Heart: This is one of the most flattering shades of pink I can imagine as a nail polish. OPI nail lacquers are rather expensive but I do have to admit that when it comes to a polish being long lasting and easy to apply I can tell a difference between this and a cheaper polish from the drugstore.
Catrice Nail Lacquer 45 Kitch Me If You Can: I love this polish but I do have to admit I do not wear it often enough. The color, the glitter and the quality of the polish are just great. I am not sure whether you can still get this but I think so.
Catrice Nail Lacquer 51 I Am So aNUDE: 'Baby Pink' is probably the best way to describe this color. The polish has a slight silver shimmer to it but you cannot really tell when it's on your nails. It is a lot more of a pastel / milky shade of pink than the OPI nail polish I talked about before.
MAC Eye Shadow B51 All That Glitters: This is the only MAC eye shadow that I own but I think I will soon get some more. These eye shadows are expensive but (like with OPI) I can tell a difference. The shadow blends perfectly but still does not crease easily. MAC has a wonderful color selection and there are a ton of shades I love. What is your favorite MAC eye shadow?
L'occitane hand creme Pivoine Flora: Like the other L'occitane hand creme I used before I am very happy with this one. The peony floral scent is really nice and natural and the hand creme sinks into your skin quickly. I am still not so sure I would pay that much money for a hand creme. On the other hand I do not know of any other hand creme that works as well as this.
Catrice Ultimate Color Lip Stick 210 Pinkadilly Circus: This a new addition to my collection. It is probably the most Barbie-pink lip product I own. It does have a shiny finish which I quite like now that mat finishes are very much on trend. It just looks very fresh and glossy on my lips and reminds me of spring and (who guessed it?) Valentine's Day.
labello Lip Butter Raspberry Rosé: Labello lip butters are consistent part of my night time routine. Because they do have a milky tint to them when you apply them I only ever wear them at home or at night. I like the blueberry version a bit better but that is just personal preference.
What are your favorite pink products for Valentine's Day?
