-Hey, guys. It's Elessa. It's been so long and I'm so excited to be back and it's been just-- I've just been all over the place from, like, Chicago, and then we had our BBC party. Thank you so much, everybody, for coming. It was a huge event. I think there was like 250, like, attendees, and 200 students from the Bellus Academy, and it was so much fun. So, there's tons of videos out there and blog posts about it. I'm gonna put up my own video, too, and, I mean, this was-- it was so much fun. There was manicures, and massages, and hair cuts, and hair dyes, and
all kinds of stuff going on at the event. So, thank so much, everybody, for coming. Today, I'm going to be doing a new video style called Holidays. And I got this idea because everybody was asking me, like, what have I purchased recently, or-- or, like, whatever I've been hauling and stuff like that. But honestly, I really haven't had a lot of time to go shopping, but I do have some great samples and products that I wanna show you for spring time. So, some of these products are actually great for, like, spring time/summer time, and I have this most amazing nail polish
on my nails right now. I will show you guys a picture. It's like this gold/like hot pink, and it actually makes 2 different colors. I don't know if you guys can see it, but it's like hot pink and gold at the same time. It looks so amazing! Oh my god! I'm absolutely in love. So, first one is, these are new colors from Color Club, and they're all neon, and once it dries, it has these great smells from, like,
Yum Gum, Raspberry, Grape, Lime. So, I'm excited to try these out, fun neon colors, and these are professional colors that you can all-- you could purchase on line, but they're scented. So, I'm excited to try those out. These are all, like, nail polishes. This is, like, the latest stuff that I got. It's from Zoya. This is the one that I have on my nails right now, and it's matte, and this is called Lolly--so pretty on. It looks exactly like the bottle, but then, I put on there a little gold color, and it's just beyond wow. So, I'll show you guys that.
So, there's 3 of them. There is, like, a pink one, and then there's a green one, and then there's the teal color, and these are all available at Zoya. And it's called Mitzi and Phoebe. So, these are really pretty color combination. Like, if you like matte colors, I'd recommend it. It's fun. But if you want, like, a top coat, you could put a top coat. There's like OCC Flatline that you could on top and it's just looks really pretty and it's still matte. So, I like those.
And then, there's also some new colors from Zoya. This one right here is a sparkly kind. I love it. I used this green one for St. Patrick's Day. Oh, amazing Apple! It's got these little glitters inside. They're like leaflets. I'll do a video on, like, each individual product, too, but I just wanted to show you guys the latest stuff that I got. And then these, right here, are cream colors. They're pretty, too, but they're not as wow as like the shimmery ones. These are just like cream as you can see
here. And then from China Glaze, they have some new colors. I have, like, 6 of them here. This is their summer, and there's this really pretty purple, that shimmery. There is this green, like chartreuse. There's this pink one right here called Degrees, which is like a hot pink with little shimmers in it. Then there's this green one, and this cream orange, and this amazing Blue Iguana, which is like kind of purple, so I recommend this one, like, right out of the bottle. Pretty!
Okay. So, the next thing I have here a part of my Holidays it the latest MAC collection. This-- this is called Quite Cute. It's very pastel-like. I have the light purple one. It's called Quite Cute, and that's what it is. It's just really, really light color. It's very, very-- I don't even know. I don't wanna say, like, white, but it's a light, light white purple. You can't even see it on. It kind of just washes out your lips to, like, a light lavender. And then, there's the eye shadows,
and it's Moshi Moshi!, Goody Goody Gum Drop, Boy Crazy, and Azuki Bean. And for me, I think these colors are very light, but they're very pretty and very spring time-ish. You can see that here. I'll have pictures so you can see. Actually, let's just do maybe a tutorial so you can see it. But, I like these colors if you like, like, an icy white, light color. But if you're looking for pigmentation, or you're looking for something, like, really in your face,
I don't really recommend this. This is more like a pastel, like soft colors that are just really spring time-like. The lip liners are really soft as well. There's In Synch, which is a corally-pink, and then this one right here. So, here are the 2 colors for lipsticks. There's In Synch and Boldly Bare, and-- and they're pretty lip liners. You know, I like the way they feel. There isn't anything too spectacular about them. They are not like shimmery or anything like that. But, they're just nice, spring time lip liners if you're looking for a refill.
All right. The next one here is called Miss Behave, and it has a little heart inside, a little turquoisey green one. You could see like a light mint if you will. And-- and it's very pastel-like. You know, I don't think it's-- it's great, like, as a highlight color. It's a mineralized blush but, like, as a blush, you just have to be a certain tone. Even if you're a darker skin tone, it'll show up, but you do have to be very careful so that it doesn't look so ashy on you. But, like, for me, it just kinda looks like
white. It just kinda looks like white. So, what I would do is I would put this on top of, like, a regular blush to kinda give a little highlight, or like right here, we can see this is so fair. But overall, it's really cute 'cause there's a little heart in the middle, and I think the heart goes all the way through; not 100% sure. And this next one right here is purple. It's called Sakura and it has the lavender, which is really like a pretty soft purple, and then this magenta-ish purple in the middle if you could see. You can actually use this as, like, a blush or like a highlight. So, what I would do is I would--
this is, like, my favorite. Well, I would use this as, like, a highlight that blends into your blush, and then this middle part as like a blush color. So, just take it and then you'd apply it. So, I really like this one right here. This is-- I think it's great, like, just to purchase something out of the collection. And then there's 2 nail polishes. This one is called Mischievous Mint and Little Girl Type. So, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give these away because I have a lot of nail polish. But, I thought this would be a really pretty--
a really pretty fun summer giveaway. So, check that out on pursebuzz.com. You can get the information for the giveaway for those. I'm into, like, fair, really pastel-like like this one right here. So, if you don't like cream pastels, you're probably not gonna like this collection. I think this is really pretty for everybody, but, like, if it's just not your color, you may wanna top it off with, like, a gloss or something. And then this one right here is called I Love You, which is a very light lavender,
and it's almost see through. Like, you can't really see too much color. I'll put that on so you could see it. It's a MAC lip gloss, ooh, and it smelled-- smells really good. I would say, like, vanilla, but it seems like it's a little bit stronger than normal. So, you don't really see the color. It's very, very faint. And this next color is Girl Loves Boy, which is like a light pink, but it's also very sheer, too, at the same time. It's not glittery or anything like that. It's just kind of fun glosses.
So, overall with the MAC collection, I highly recommend this one right here. Overall, I think it's one of my favorites out of the bunch. It's cute. It's got a little heart in it. It's, like, fun from the collection. But everything else doesn't seem, like, a must have you should go run out and buy it. As far as the nail polishes go, I highly, highly recommend the Zoya ones with the shimmer to it, and the mattes, and I can't wait to try out the-- smelling the nail polishes, and then there's another nail polish that I wanna show you guys. It's called In The Mood, which is an orange that changes to yellow.
So, I'm excited to try that out, too, and I will let you guys know about that one, and that completes my Holiday for today. Don't forget to check out Tip Thursdays and I'll see you guys later.
