Hello Beauties, Nia here from Style of Colours. Since we're now announcing the chat topics only on twitter, we thought we'd share some beauty posts here. For the first post, I thought I'd share my current beauty wishlist with you all. 
ABH Dipbrow Pomade The whole of twitter has been raving about this for a long time, but I just haven't gotten around to getting it. Maybe it's because I can't pick it up in store here or maybe it's because I was afraid I won't be able to use it properly. But I'm over all that now and as soon as I get paid, I'll hunt down the ABH Dipbrow Pomade and begin practicing.   Zoeva Rose Gold Brushes There is something about rose gold brushes that just calls out to my heart. They look so pretty that I just have to own them. Okay and let me just be an instagram slut and say they look amazing in pictures. I haven't gotten any new brushes in quite a while, so would be nice to treat myself to some.
Macadamia Deep Repair Mask I have to confess I have a thing for deep conditioners. I probably own more deep conditioners than any other hair product. After constantly looking at this product in the stores, I finally gave it a try a few months back. Amazing is an understatement! The mask made my hair so soft and full of moisture, I was feeling like a celeb.
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Just read a review about this and the swatches were amazing. I usually stick to matte bronzers & blushes, and keep the highlighting to the minimum because my face is really oily and it all just looks like one big mess after a few hours. But, I really love how this product looks and am willing to try it as a light blush.
Jamaican Mango and Lime Protein Conditioner Your hair needs a balance of moisture and protein. For a long time I have been using the ORS Mayonnaise which provides you with both protein and moisture. But I like to try new products, so when I came across the Jamaican Mango and Lime Protein Conditioner, I thought it would be a good product to strengthen my hair.
Palmers Olive Oil Cowash Conditioner I have been cowashing my hair for over a year now and it's working really well for me with regular conditioner. But, lots of natural hair bloggers are always talking about conditioners specifically made for cowashing and cleansing the hair without stripping it of all the natural oils, so I thought I'd jump on the bangwagon and see what the difference is.
PMD Personal Microdermabrasion I came across this quite a while ago and have been lusting after it since. I am a bit crzay when it comes to skincare due to having acne prone skin, so I'm always looking for what will help my acne and acne scars. This product has so many amazing reviews, I am hopeful it will help me too.
Sheamoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie To be honest, I cannot remember the number of blog posts or videos I have seen with bloggers raving about this product. I have been dying to try some SheaMoisture products for a while now, but we don't have them here in Spain and I have no idea where I can order them from that won't cost a fortune. The Curl Enhancing Smoothie is always in everyone's 'Fave SheaMoisture products' list, so I'm determined to find it or have a friend send it over to me.

Best Nude Lipsticks {As low as 1$}

First time here? You may want to subscribe to our RSS feed!

    Josephine Nychole here again. If you are anything like me; you are obsessed with lip products. I have a drawer filled with lipsticks of all colors and brands. However, I tend to gravitate towards my nudes. Perhaps, they are just less risky - but boy are they flattering. I tend to lean towards nudes with more of a pink tone - but the one's I chose below are pretty well rounded {I think}. Which are your favorites? 

Top Nudes by josephinenychole featuring a matte lipstick

NYX Matte Lipstick 'Natural' ||  $5.99 ||  These are actually my favorite "drug-store // high-street" lipsticks on the market. They are amazing. The pigmentation is great, and they are fairly long lasting for a lipstick {not marketed as long lasting}. This color is a perfect 'natural' color - that should work on almost any lip. A definite Must Have. 
MAC {Satin} Lipstick 'Faux'  ||  $16 ||  Mac lipstick is my absolute favorite brand of lipstick. I am obsessed with the fragrance of these lipsticks. I'm not quite sure why, but I love it. It's my beauty dream to own every MAC lipstick in the line. This will most likely never happen - but one lipstick at a time. 
Nars Lipstick 'Honolulu Honey'  ||  $26  || This nude lipstick leans towards the orange side, but is still very much a nude lipstick. These would be perfect for those of us that have naturally a lighter more flesh toned lip color. Otherwise, it could work for anyone. Not your style - these Nars lipsticks are pretty amazing and come in many other colors! 
Eyes lips face {elf} 'Classy'  ||  $1  || This is seriously an amazing line for a very nice price. When these lipsticks first hit the market, I grabbed one in every color {for LESS than one MAC lipstick - that's crazy.} Classy is by far my favorite color from the line && has been set as a nearly identical dupe for MAC's Angel. 
Maybelline Color Sensational Lipcolor 'Born with It' || $7.49 ||  Born with it is a perfect nude lipstick. It's more on the pink side - but will pretty much mimic a lips color but better. It makes my lips look pretty flawless. It's a great nude lipstick and should work for just about everyone.

Beauty Hot Five List

First time here? You may want to subscribe to our RSS feed!

    Hello There; Josephine Nychole here. I'm sharing my Beauty Hot Five list with you! 
Let's be serious; when I hear the words "New" in the beauty world, I immediately start salivating. I become completely obsessed, and want it - NOW. This isn't always possible for a broke college student like me; but I can dream right? Here's a list of Five "New{er}" products that are currently on the top of my wishlist. 

Hot Five by josephinenychole featuring a waterproof eyeliner

1. Lorac Pro Palette 2  ||  42$  || I actually purchased this product the day it became available at my local Ulta. I love my Lorac Pro palette, so I knew I had to have this. These palettes, in my opinion, are far superior to any of the Urban Decay Palettes {I own all three Naked Palettes}. I find myself gravitating towards my Lorac Pro Palette 9 out of 10 times. The pigmentation and creaminess of the shadows are just amazing. I was worried that the first palette was just too good to be true; but thankfully I was wrong. The second palette in this line is just as amazing. A definite must for any beauty lover. 
2. bareMinerals bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20  ||  29$  || If you can make it past the incredibly long name, this product seems pretty cool due to the fact that it's made by bareMinerals. bareMinerals is pretty famous for their amazing powder foundations. They added the pressed powders to their line {of which I love} so I guess the only next option would be a liquid foundation? It seems to be making some good waves in the beauty community. 
3. Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wearing Lipstick  ||  21$  || I am a true lip product junkie; so these definitely intrigue me. I've tried them at Sephora, and WANT one, but 21 bucks is a kind of steep for me right now. They are absolutely at the top of my wishlist though! 
4. Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Kit  ||  45$  || When I worked at Sephora I had SO may customers come in asking about contouring. We always hear about it, and want to be able to contour with the best of them; the new Smashbox Step-By-Step kit does just that. It even comes with the brush to do the work; pretty awesome if you ask me. Let's get to contouring. 
5. Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Push-Up Liner  ||  24$  || I'm in love with They're Real mascara, so when I heard this was coming out I was extremely excited! I actually received a sample one in the mail a few weeks ago; I'm not sure why I haven't tried it yet - but I just haven't {I think I forgot I had it}. I've watched some YouTube Videos; and it's kind of a hit and miss product - some love it, some hate it. I'm interested in trying it out myself, maybe tomorrow. 
Do you own any of these products? Are they a must or a bust?!?
