Purchases of Late:D - Nars, Chanel, YSL

Finally!!! i've been waiting for 2 weeks to get my Dogon duo yay!!! and my YSL teint resist #4. Im straying away from neutrals, im finding them kind of boring. but yet im still afraid of too much color and i've been thinking Dogon would fit that median. it comes with one color that is a duo chrome the light taupey olivey color, with a pearly cool sheen. The other color, i thought was a smokey black color, its actually an intense navy with a cool blue sheen, but is more on the matte side. I would have loved to pair it with a smoky black to be more neutral. Also i've come to find out that the best primer to use with this is the Nars eyeshadow primer, it is devine, the best primer i've ever used. it doesn't crease and it really grabs hold of color. i wish it came in other colors besides clear:(

Then my new prized possession Teint Resist ohhh baby, im so excited. This makes any matte foundation look shameful. First note- it smells glorious like bananas. its very siliconey so it goes on soo smooth and easy, and it looks flawless. Airbrush finish seriously. and it lasts just as long as Estee Lauder Double Wear, but it doesn't break up, it stays looking flawless and natural all day:)

Once i saw the new fall collection from Chanel, i had to try out the nail polishes. And to my surprise i didn't like Quartz, and bought up Graphite and Peridot, my birthstone. And i just love the Peridot, it reminds me of like Halloween and witches' potion:)

Les Couleurs D'Etes- Top Summer Nail Picks:D

Oooo I love my brights for summer, as you might have guessed. I dont really wear reds, or hot corally pinks, or hot pinks and fuschias just cause i think they are way over done, and i find them kind of boring; those are colors everyone wears. And i love to be different and catch peoples eye, and get comments like, wow thats different but it looks great!:) I had fun putting this together, these are great colors.

Sephora by OPI Lost Without My GPS - love the name, such a pretty color, this corally reddish pink i find is unique.
Essie Haute as Hello - a hot coral peach i can actually wear, love it.
Chanel Mimosa - great summer color, fun and reminds me of going on a summer trip somewhere.
Essie Pretty Edgy - awesome green
Chanel Nouvelle Vague - i guess its like an aqua color, fun, stylish and trendy.
OPI Ogre the Top Blue - a recent discovery and quickly rising to be one of my favs, a fun bright cobalt blue.
Sephora by OPI Blue Grotto - a bright navy blue, fun and trendy.
Essie Lapis of Luxory - a cute periwinkle blue, its very different and looks great.
Essie Knockout Pout - I think i really liked this collection lol, it was last years summer. Love this not quite neon, hot milky pink.

Spring has Sprung - Top Nail Picks for Spring

Here are some of my fav nail polishes for spring. Now i would have a nude color, but i do not own one that i like yet, but i do have an honorable mention and i think one that i would have up here if i had it. And that would be Chanel's Inattendu, which is a warm opaque nude. Another one i would mention would be a pale yellow, but i dont have one yet either. Also i didn't put any peaches. Those i have, but they dont look got on me at all. I think because i have a yellow undertone in my skin as opposed to fair people with pink undertones.
Essie Geranium - a bright vintage red orange, the consistency is kind of a translucent jelly, so its not opaque, but two coats is fine. You would think i would want this in my summer collection, and you could, but i think its more effective in the spring for the whole nautical vintage trend.
OPI Sparrow Me the Drama - My classic dusky rose color for the vintage girly trend, love it.
Essie Guchi Muchi Puchi - My pastel Easter egg pink fav, love it.
Sephora by OPI Dear Diary - subdued ballerina pale pink, not really a must have for me, but since i dont have a nude it makes my picks look more complete.
OPI Stranger Tides - Murky avocado green, love it.
OPI Mermaids Tears - Dusky sea foam green, love it.
Essie Mint Candy Apple - a popular eye-catching mint green.
OPI I Want to be A-Lone Star - A silver pale blue, love it.
Essie Lilacism - had to throw in a purple. My fav cool toned lilac color, love it.

Small Purchase & NOTD - Nars, Havana Dreams

After watching Pixi2woo's brights trend tutorial, i had to check out this Nars duo Mediteranee. I'm surprised its never caught my eye before, i think its part of the permanent line. I've been looking for an orange eyeshadow for a while, and this one was perfect. This duo is amazing, great color combination and awesome color intensity, i almost have to blend it down so its not too bright. I am in love with Nars eyeshadows now, they hardly disappoint like Mac can tend to do. Next duo on my list in Dogon:) My other purchase was Havana Dreams, Sephora by OPI. I was a bit reluctant to purchase this when it first came out, because i new the formula was thin and would need 3 coats, and i was right. But what made me go for it was I had missed out on getting Chanel Riva:( i was was looking for the best dupe and this was it. After three coats the coverage is fine.

Bittersee - new blog name

hello all, whimsysophisticat (bit of a mouthful) is now Bittersee. I've been thinking about what to change it to for months. We'll see how i like it, I'm very indecisive unfortunately. it comes from the meaning of my middle name Marie (bitter sea, sea of bitterness) which i prefer over my first name Jennifer. only i changed SEA to SEE, just cause I'm writing a blog based purely on my opinion, thus how i see things.
