4 Spring Nail Polishes For Easter

Hey Rosés,

Easter is springing this weekend! That means jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, and a new Easter dress! If you’re like me, you struggled giving up something for the 40 days and 40 nights of Lent, alas resurrection weekend is here. What better way to hunt for Easter eggs than with new exciting nail polish. Go beyond pastels and earth tones, try a bubble gum pink or lemon drop yellow.

OCC Makeup Spring/Summer 2012 Collection

Hey Rosés,

Model Phylicia Jones showcases the new Garden Party collection

Last Friday, I attended the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) Spring/Summer 2012 collection launch party at their studio in the Lower East Side. This vegan and cruelty-free brand revealed a new flower and fruit inspired highly pigmented collection called “The Garden Party.” It includes 6 new lip tars, 6 new loose eye shadows, and 6 new nail polishes. The color spectrum ranges from pink florals, leafy greens, and citrus oranges.

My new spring favorites (L to R):
Demure (berry-toned fuschia), Pennyroyal (darkest peach neutral), Memento (plum-toned pink)

Lip Tar is OCC’s infamous best selling liquid lipstick, pretty much magic in a tube! The ultra-saturated lip color has the longevity of a lipstick and moisture of a lip gloss. With just a small bead-size squeeze, you can wear as is for a lightweight opaque look, or blend with other colors to create a customized hue. The all-natural formula is great for sensitive skin, and even hours later and after eating it maintains moisture and color with soothing peppermint oil, vitamin E, and hemp oil.

Check out the new “Garden Party” collection and pics from the event:

The collection: S/S 2012 The Garden Party

Believe the hype and have your own Garden Party this spring! Stop by the store to try before you buy, even though every color is great and can be mixed to perfection…
