Pantone Color of The Year 2018: Ultra Violet

Makeup Ideas from Pixi Beauty, POP Beauty, Sally Hansen, and Young Nails

I am so very excited about the Color of the Year for 2018! I find the whole selection process for the annual Color of the Year to be facinating. Color trends are so reflective of our culture, collective thought, and the world today. Not to mention, I am super excited about Ultra Violet as it has always been one of my very favorite colors. I am thrilled that a purple shade is the Color of the Year!!!

Pantone, a provider of professional color language standards and digital solutions, has selected Ultra Violet (dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade) as Color of the Year for 2018. 

Here are some of the thoughts about the selection of Ultra Violet straight from the experts at Pantone:

“We are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination. It is this kind of creative inspiration that is indigenous to PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and potential to a higher level,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come.” Complex and contemplative, Ultra Violet suggests the mysteries of the cosmos, the intrigue of what lies ahead, and the discoveries beyond where we are now. The vast and limitless night sky is symbolic of what is possible and continues to inspire the desire to pursue a world beyond our own.

Enigmatic purples have also long been symbolic of counterculture, unconventionality, and artistic brilliance. Musical icons Prince, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix brought shades of Ultra Violet to the forefront of western pop culture as personal expressions of individuality. Nuanced and full of emotion, the depth of PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet symbolizes experimentation and non-conformity, spurring individuals to imagine their unique mark on the world, and push boundaries through creative outlets.'

Historically, there has been a mystical or spiritual quality attached to Ultra Violet. The color is often associated with mindfulness practices, which offer a higher ground to those seeking refuge from today’s over-stimulated world. The use of purple-toned lighting in meditation spaces and other gathering places energizes the communities that gather there and inspire connection.

“The Pantone Color of the Year has come to mean so much more than ‘what’s trending’ in the world of design; it’s truly a reflection of what’s needed in our world today,” added Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute. “As individuals around the world become more fascinated with color and realize its ability to convey deep messages and meanings, designers and brands should feel empowered to use color to inspire and influence. The Color of the Year is one moment in time that provides strategic direction for the world of trend and design, reflecting the Pantone Color Institute’s year-round work doing the same for designers and brands.”

So cool! :) So, now lets talk about Ultra Violet in Beauty:

Ultra Violet in Beauty:

Ultra Violet becomes spell-binding and steeped in spirituality in beauty to create expressive looks for all. The complex and deep nature of the color is well-suited for beauty looks created by combinations, blends, and ombres. A singular matte purple on the lips or nails makes a bold statement of non-conformity, while softly blended metallics and shimmers in Ultra Violet transform the eyes into windows to the cosmos. Purple shades in hair continue to elevate street styles as a symbol of creative expression. On the palette for every beauty medium, Ultra Violet complements and emboldens every other color, adding complexity and mystery.

I have a few ideas for you guys in Ultra Violet from Pixi Beauty, POP Beauty, Sally Hansen, and Young Nails!

Pixi Beauty:

Endless Silky Eye Pen in Velvet Violet:

The Endless Silky Eye Pens by Pixi Beauty are amongst my favorite eyeliners!!! I love the gel formula as it glides on just like its name...silky. There is not tugging and it smudges out so easily. Once the color sets, it is budge proof and will last all day with absolutely no fading nor smearing. It is also waterproof. This gorgeous Velvet Violet jewel tone is a great way to capture the Color of the Year! Retails for $6.00. 

Mesmerizing Mineral Palette in Amethyst Aura:

This silkly mineral formula packs great pigmentation with gorgeous Ultra Violet-toned shades. With tones ranging from ultra light-dark. You can create a complete eye look with this compact. Retails for $6.00. 

 

Pop Beauty | Permanent Pout Liquid Lipstick:

Rock the Color of the Year on your lips in a bold statement with this liquid lipstick. This full-coverage lip paint’s velvet, matte finish is beautiful. Permanent Pout Liquid Lipstick is extremely long-wearing and kiss-proof! Retails for $14.00. 

Young Nails | Caption Polish in Enough Already:

The Caption Nail Polish formula wears like a gel with a gorgeous mirror-like shine. It does not need a light and it air dries 3Xs faster than regular polish. You get longer wear with this polish and the shade is so pretty. Retails for $9.95.

Sally Hansen | Color Therapy Shade Plum Euphoria: 

This violet shade is launching in January 2018 and it is sure to turn heads! The patented argan oil formula fuses intensive nourishment and instant moisture for healthy looking nails.Up to 10 days of fade-proof, chip-resistant wear. Retails for $8.99. 

What do you think of this year's Ultra Violet Color of the Year? Do you have any other makeup or beauty ideas in Ultra Violet? I would love to hear! :) 

As always, thanks so much for reading!

XOXO!!!

Go Back-to-School in Style: Sally Hansen Crayola Insta-Dry Collection

Color Yourself Happy!

I am so excited to share about this super fun crayon-inspired nail polish collection from Sally Hansen and Crayola! This is the meeting of two of my favorite brands from two different worlds: the world of beauty and the world of school supplies. Nothing beats the pigment and quality that you get with Crayola crayons. I am completely brand-loyal to Crayola in the crayon and marker category. They simply color the best and are so vivid! The same goes with Sally Hansen products at the drugstore: awesome quality, great wear, and fantastic color selection. Well, these two color experts have teamed up to create a color-wheel crayon-inspired collection of Inta-Dry polishes! 

Sharpen those pencils, pack that apple, and add the final touch to your back-to-school look in an instant! The new Sally Hansen + Crayola Insta-Dri Collection transports you back to that care-free time of coloring with crayons, sketching out vibrant creations, and jumping back into the September back to school season. Color authorities Crayola and Sally Hansen joined forces to offer a bright, bold, and fun suite of hues that dry in just 60 seconds — so no time is wasted for the woman on the go. With a 60 second dry time, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri®Nail Color’s 3-in-1 formula features a built-in base and top coat to provide shiny, extended wear in a single step in just one stroke. These color specialists did their homework: From a saturated red to a marvelously mod white, here are the 12 new, specially designed shades inspired directly by the Crayola crayon colors we all know and love.

Wild Strawberry

Ripe and ravishing, this primary red crème shade is a classic.

Sunset Orange

As bold as it is beautiful, this hue conjures memories of blissful beachy evenings.

Carnation Pink

Everything’s coming up carnations in this vivid, pretty pink.

Dandelion

Picked right from a sprawling field, this sunny saturated yellow is a force of nature.

Granny Smith Apple

Take it to the tart side in this vivaciously verdant polish.

Cerulean

Rock this hue, it’s a go-to blue for back to school. 

Vivid Violet

Cultivate the feeling of floral fancy in this purple shade that elevates any first-day-of-school outfit.

White

No better way to kick off the year than with a blank slate. Be crisper than a white board with this pristine white.

Razzmatazz

It’s your time to shine bright and be a dazzling star with this raspberry hue.

Scarlet

Show off your summer tan with this red hot mani.

Denim

Casually cool, this jean-ius indigo hue goes with everything.

Purple Heart

Be the Queen Bee in this courageously colorful purple.

Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri® is #1 in the quick-dry segment. The Sally Hansen X Crayola Insta-Dri Back To School Collection will be available July 2017. Crayola is the worldwide leader in children’s creative expression products. The Crayola brand is known for its iconic Crayola crayons, and portfolio of colorful and innovative art tools, crafting activities and creative toys.

Be sure to scoop up this adorable Sally Hansen Crayola InstaDri collection while it is available. I just love it!!!

Sally Hansen Holiday Candy Cane inspired Nails:

When I saw this cute and festive Candy Cane-inspired nail look, I just had to post about it!!! I am all about getting festive and Christmas-themed for the Holidays.

So, tonight I am going to prep my nails with the Sally Hansen Nail Rehab and tomorrow night, I will recreate the Candy Cane look!

Top Ten Tuesdays: Nail Polishes for Autumn

Press Sample Affiliate Link Blogger Ambassador

It finally feels like Fall here in Georgia! The air is crisp and cool in the mornings and the Sun is out and shining in the afternoons (on a good day!). Autumn in full-swing. The season's full arrival is sure reflected in my nail color! While the weather has cooled, it is still to hot here to dive into all the gorgeous new sweaters and boots that I see in the magazines and on Fashion blogs. So, I get into the Fall mode with my nail color! Plus, hello, Halloween is almost upon us and there are certainly some fun nail looks that I like to explore to get festive! Fall in Georgia is my favorite time of the year. So, I really have an affinity for Fall Nail Polish as well!

It was *so hard* to pick only 10 polishes for this post...I mean *so hard*! So, I tried to focus primarily on polishes that I am gravitating towards currently. Many of these are new releases since that is honestly what I play with more often! The result, I couldn't pick just 10...but got "close" with 13.

So, without further ado, here are my picks for Top Ten (13, wink!) Nail Polishes for Autumn 2015:
I am going to break them down into "categories":
Festive/Press On Nails: 

Broadway Nails Halloween Press On Nails: These press-on-nails by Broadway Nails are just *so fun*....and super quick! I haven't used press-on nails in a few years. So, it is fun to experiment with these. I have tried a nice little variety from the brand and am saving these two designs for the 2 weeks leading up to Halloween! Broomstick is a sexy twist on a french manicure with black tips, a spider web, and a glittery spider. My husband actually thinks these look super-sexy. So, I am going to wear them the week before Halloween when we are hitting a cool Halloween party together. :) The Cauldron Set is a super festive mix of orange and black nails with jack-o-lantern faces, spider webs, spiders, and a black glitter accent nail. I will wear these the week of Halloween! Yay! These are such a great alternative to polish! They are super quick and easy and the best part: no dry time. Plus, your manicure looks perfect (and lets face it, my nails usually don't look perfect).

Fun, Glittery, or Unique Polishes:

KBShimmer: If you are looking for unique and beautiful polishes, look no further than KBShimmer! Their polishes always stand out in my collection for being truly unique and remarkably different! I selected two polishes from KBShimmer for today's Top 10 post: Be Scareful (Dots, shreds and circles in orange and black swim among a near white crelly base. After dark, this polish glows ghoulish green.  Since glow powder is heavy, I suggest rolling/shaking before application) and I Feel Gourd-geous (A coppery champagne color, this fine holographic polish shines in the light. Two –three coats offers a beautifully neutral full coverage polish). Both of these polishes are from their new Fall/Winter 2015 Collection (if you missed my full review post, check it out here). I am obsessed with Be Scareful because it *glows in the dark* (OMG! How fun for Halloween parties!!!). I Feel Gourd-geous has seriously got to be one of the most beautiful polishes I have ever used. Ever. I seriously will paint my nails with this week after week (and I almost never repeat back-to-back). It is sparkly and pretty and seriously the best "neutral" ever!

Orly Glitters: These two, I believe, were released last year (or the year before) for Halloween. This time of year, I love reaching for Monster Mash (lime green holographic glitter) and Right Amount of Evil (orange holographic glitter). These are great on their own or layered over other polishes. They are festive and fun for sure! 

Colorful:
Just because it is Fall doesn't mean that you have to completely shy away from color! Sure, the neons and brights of Summer are out of my rotation. However, I just can't resist my signature blues and purples, and pinks. These three from SinfulColors are just gorgeous and in heavy rotation on my nails and toes right now: Too Cool For Pool, Royal Flush, and No Filter. I am especially fond of fuschia colors for nails and toes. So, Royal Flush (gorgeous Fuchsia creme), in particular is a huge fave!!! Royal Flush and Too Cool for Pool (Periwinkle with very subtle iridescent micro sparkle) are from the SinfulShine 2-step (no light) gel polish system. Just apply the step 1 Gel Nail Color and then top it off with the Gel Topcoat. It is that easy! I do find that these manicures last just a bit longer than my usual manicure. So, I am thrilled with the results! No Filter (iridescent Twilight blue) is from the Oh Snap Collection. I love this deep shade. It is colorful; yet, so deep and rich for Fall. Plus, have I mentioned that SinfulColors are an amazing deal at the drugstore! For just a few dollars, you can try as many shades as you want! :)

Deep, Dark, Red, and Metallic:

My Inspiration: My PERFECT Red Lip

No Fall/Winter Nail Polish Collection would be complete without some Red and some Metallic! Now seriously ya'll, I am not normally a red lipstick and polish girl. However, the tide has turned! I am really on a red lippie and polish kick. Do you know what jump started this trend for me? The StarWars Collection from COVERGIRL! I am *obcessed* with StarWars and flippin adore this collection. I completely fell in love with the lipstick Red #30. It is absolutely the *perfect* red. It has just enough of a cool undertone to work perfectly with my skin. It is a gorgeous true red and has me completely converted. It is now an "everyday" Red lippie for me (I NEVER thought I would have an "everyday") red! Can I tell you one other awesome thing, besides it being a Star Wars item, this lipstick seriously lasts all day on me. Sure it fades a bit when I eat. But, my lips look gorgeous all day with very little re-application when I wear this. I don't wear a lot of makeup day-to-day. So, a nice pop of color on my lips goes a long way! Sorry, total digression here! Lets get back to polish.

So, my point is...falling in love with red lips has me now turning to reds for my tips and toes, too! The Star Wars Collection from COVERGIRL has a gorgeous true red polish #180 Red Revenge and I am also loving Nemesis #195 (a deep eggplant). These polishes are the awesome Outlast formula which is a great 1-step super glossy polish. I love these for a quickie mani! If you haven't checked out the Star Wars Collection yet from COVERGIRL, you definately should before it sells out or becomes hard to find! The assortment of lippies, polish, and mascara is awesome! A must-have for any Star Wars fan like me! :)

One of my other favorite polish lines is the Complete Salon Manicure Collection from Sally Hansen. Fabulous formula and a great choice for colors! For Autumn, I am loving #863 Maasai Red (deep red/burgundy creme) and #871 Lady T (Silver Sparkle Metallic).

Be sure to check out my fellow Top Ten Tuesdays bloggers posts (see below). I can't wait to see what they are wearing on their nails this Fall! :)

Makeup Wars: Color Wars!!! Peach/Coral

 I Bought It  Affiliate Link

It is time for another Makeup War!!! After taking a blogging break for a few weeks during my move (hope you have enjoyed all of the pre-scheduled posts!) it is so fun to dive back into a Makeup War! I have missed this!!!

What are Makeup Wars?

Before sharing my favorite peach/coral makeup item, let me tell you a little bit about Makeup Wars in general. The Makeup Wars Bloggers are a group of top beauty bloggers that publish coordinated bi-weekly posts. The Makeup Wars bloggers collectively pick topics to blog about (e.g., Top 10 Products, Beauty Pampering, etc). Then, we publish our posts at precisely the same time and link up through the graphic links and thumbnails at the top and bottom of our posts. It is always a big surprise to scroll through the links from the group to see what everyone picked!
   
Color Wars:
This week we are having a Color War! Unlike our usual makeup wars, this week we have divided up and are all sharing our favorites for our assigned color. 2-3 of us are representing pretty much every makeup color we could think of: from red, to peach, to yes...even taupe! When you scroll through the thumbnails at the bottom of this post, you will get to see the Makeup Wars bloggers choices for best products or featured looks in a whole rainbow of colors! This is so fun!!! :)

"Most Worn Things" for Summer of 2012!

As Fall rolls in and Summer comes to a close, it is time to ponder my "Most Worn Things" of the season! Typically I don't post may tags here on my blog...but, this one is too fun to pass up! I figure instead of my usual "Monthly Favorites" post this month, I will do this tag instead! I know that I always like to read this type of post on other blogs!

How did I choose the items? These are, quite simply, my most worn items of the Summer Season. We are talking daily basics here. I love creating lists like this (actually, lol, I am kinda a list freak). While I often focus on new product reviews on this blog, posts like this one allow me to focus on some daily basics and favorite products that I have been using all season long, and in the case of some items, feature products that I have loved for years!

What you will find are my daily basic Summer essentials. I live a casual lifestyle as a Stay-at-Mom with my little 8 month old baby. As much as I love glamour, my daily go-to items are fuss-free staples that are quick and easy to use. Most days I am out and about with my baby girl. These are items that help me to look and feel pretty while doing that!
