Sephora Formula X Pretty Pastels

Somewhere along the line, summer became all about BRIGHTS. While I still love a good lemon-yellow pedicure, pastel shades are still a super summertime option for those in search of a more demure look, and Sephora Formula X has such a wide selection of picture perfect pastels to choose from!

Starting above is Sephora Formula X in Brazen. This bubble gum pink is as girlie as it gets. Described by Sephora as “petal pink” the shade is versatile, and can be made bolder with an extra coat.

Sephora Formula X nail lacquer is big-3 free, and each bottle retails for $10.50.

I’m crazy about Sephora Formula X Thrilling! This modern neutral has cool undertones, and looks beautiful with literally every color you could wear.

Sephora Formula X Unmistakeable is a pale seafoam green that Sephora calls a “pastel jade”. This is a popular shade for the toes, and has been for years! It’s a great choice to liven up some neutral clothing with quiet color.

Sephora Formula X Infatuated is a perfect baby-blue hue that is considered a “new neutral” by Sephora. I’m in love with this shade for myself, but it would also make a terrific gift if you have a young daughter.

Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner Review, Swatches

I generally don’t swim in full makeup, but when I have a great waterproof formula on-hand I will apply some eye makeup!

LAQA & Co Lip Lube Review

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]My latest obsession are these little lippies by LAQA&Co. These incredibly emollient Lip Lube Pencils deliver more color than a gloss, less than a lipstick. It’s that perfect “in between” product that’s good for every occasion!

Gobsmacked and Golly Gee Whiz Swatches, LAQA & Co

Swatched above are Gobsmacked on the left, a medium apricot/neutral shade that is universally flattering. On the right is Golly Gee Whiz, my new “go-to” red. It never settles into fine lines, and isn’t as high-maintenance as a red shade tends to be. As you can see, the finish is glossy and glorious! Another perk? No need to worry about sharpening the Lip Lube Pencil, it has a handy twist-up dispenser!
