American Apparel Wishlist

Another Wishlist! I have SO many of these coming your way. I legitimately get so hyped up by things I see on Tumblr or on store websites. One of my favorite stores is American Apparel but I only really love the store because of their amazing nail lacquers! Here are a few things I want to purchase this year from AA.

1. Nail lacquer

I've always been a huge fan of the nail lacquer from AA. All you really need is one coat because they are opaque as can be! I believe the bottles hold more nail polish then an OPI and their color range is just amazing. They have recently added Neon, Sheer, and Metallic lines of lacquers and I am SO excited to collect more!

2. Viscose shawl cardigan

This shawl cardigan looks like the perfect throw for a breezy summer day. I would want to purchase the white/grey color because it would match to any summer outfit and it also looks like a super cosy material 

3. Beanie

I own a beanie from TNA but this one is just so much cuter! I think the pom pom would suite the Fall/Winter months better but I would want a black or red one for summer time to make an outfit more grunge or edgy. And would look great with winged eyeliner, I think!

4. 3D flower mesh jumper

I've had my eye on this jumper for a really long time now. It comes in a variety of colors, white, black, purple, rose, and light blue, (maybe more). Lana Del Rey is sporting it in the photo above, and I think it would look gorgeous with light blue jeans or a black skater skirt.

What do you wish for from AA?

MAC Satin Lipstick, Rebel

Okay, so my most recent Mac purchase was this gorgeous purple-pink lipstick called Rebel. It is a Satin lipstick which means it is a semi-matte color. It looks VERY intense in the tube, but I assure you it’s not that crazy of a color. I backed to Mac a few lip glossed that I have owned for ages, a lipstick and a blush container. After watching beauty gurus such as Tanya Burr and Jen Im mention and rock this amazing color, I knew it was one that I had to get! With a dark red/purple lip liner you can make the color very intense and make it looking like how it does in the tube. With a nude lip liner, or no lip liner at all this color appears on my lips are a berry purple-pink. Kind of like the inside color of a blackberry! It’s more daring and bold but a color that is not difficult to wear at all! Though it is a better suited for Fall/Winter, I will for sure be wearing in the summer, like the rebel I am ;) 

NARS lovin'

I attended a NARS Masterclass this past Wednesday night. The cost of it was 75$ and that 75$ was redeemable in products! This class was taught by NARS National Trainer Andre Herbert. He was hilarious and taught us a lot about the amazing NARS skincare line. He also taught us selective highlighting and contouring and Francois Nars' signature smokey eye look.

I apologize for not taking pictures at the actual class. It was quite crowded and there was no proper time to pull out my camera! 

Bellow are the two products I had bought and also they gave us a couple samples. One is a sanitizer spray to use on products before applying them to other people and wipes of the same brand; "Beauty So Clean" and the other sample was of the Nars Makeup Removing water.

Middle, samples I received

Bottom swatch, eye shadow duo in Mediteranee

I already own a NARS blush in the color Dolce Vita, which is my holy grail blush; but for the up coming Spring and Summer seasons I wanted a more orange-y reddish blush. It was between Liberte and Taos (A much more vibrant red -orange). I decided to go with Liberte because it was a bit more subtle and seemed like it could also be worn in Autumn as well.

All NARS products that I have tried are extremely pigmented and wear for a long time on the skin. The eye shadow duo that I already own is called Kalua Lumpur (I believe that's how you spell it. Its a rose gold and purple shadow duo). Again, I was thinking about colors that would look great for Spring and Summer time and that took minimal effort to apply. This duo, in Mediteranee is AMAZING. They are so opaque and just gorgeous! I've been wearing this ever since Wednesday when I purchased it and I know it'll be a Spring/Summer favorite.

Have you purchased any NARS products recently? What are your favorites!?
