I super love pinks, so this summer offering from Zoya is right up my alley.  Here are swatches of the Zoya Summer 2022 Pink Palette and my thoughts on these.

Zoya Joanie

Zoya Joanie

Zoya Joanie is described as a soft tulip pink cream.  I love how clean it looks on the nails and not too out there.  This can be the perfect neutral or office nail polish.

Zoya Maddy

Zoya Maddy is THE most perfect pink on my nails.  It compliments my skintone perfectly.  I will never be without this one.

KZoya Kay is described as a bright paradise pink cream.  This makes for a nice pedicure color.

Zoya Gigi

Zoya Gigi is described as a red azalea cream.  This is the brightest of the bunch and is leaning towards a watermelon red.

Zoya Angel is an iridescent pink overlay that is a nice topper over other creams.  Not a fan of toppers that much but Angel is very cute with the iridescent micro shimmers.

All in all, I am loving this collection because I am such a sucker for pinks.  

These retail for $12 a pop and are available on Zoya.com.

Zoya Abundance Spring 2022 Swatches and Review

Zoya Abundance Spring 2022 

Time to bust out the flip flops and sandals!  Spring is upon us, and here are the sunny shades of Zoya Spring 2022 called Zoya Abundance collection.  Here are swatches and my thoughts on the colors.

Zoya Kit

Zoya Kit

Zoya Kit

Zoya Kit

Zoya Kit is my absolute fave from this collection.  It is described as an old rose cream. It is my go-to neutral for the perfect everyday color.  Love to wear this when my nails are a little bit longer - gives such a a feminine look to the hands.

Zoya Gwen

Zoya Gwen

Zoya Gwen

Zoya Gwen is described as a muted tea rose cream.  This is my second favorite from this collection because I love pinks, especially this time of the year.

Zoya Lena

Zoya Lena

Zoya Lena

Zoya Lena is described as a wisteria purple cream, but it goes on as a jelly to me rather than a cream.  It is opaque in three coats as opposed to two.  The color is lovely, though.

Zoya Ellis

Zoya Ellis

Zoya Ellis is described as a dark rich cerise cream, but as you can see in the photos, it does not look dark and rich at all, it looks like a bright pink.  I love it though and it's a great spring hue.

Zoya Tyler

Zoya Tyler

Zoya Tyler

Zoya Tyler is a deep indigo blue cream.  I love blues so this is definitely up my alley.  This would make a great summer pedicure color as well.

Zoya Elsa

Zoya Elsa

Zoya Elsa

Aptly-named Zoya Elsa is a described on the Zoya website as an "iridescent cool-toned blue with a purple magical shift with densely-packed rainbow glitter nail polish".  You can use this on its own or as a topper.  This is a gorgeous glittery polish that screams spring and summer.

My favorites from this collection are Kit, Gwen, Ellis and Tyler.  These retail for $12 a pop and are available on Zoya.com.

Revisited: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer Review 2022

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard (Medium 1)

I have been using the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer since 2013.  I wrote a review on this blog nine years ago, but I guess it's time to revisit this concealer.  I'd say it is up there with my favorite MAC concealer, the MAC Pro Longwear concealer, but in better packaging.  Not a fan of MAC Pro Longwear's pump design, as it promotes product waste because you cannot really get every last bit of product at the bottom of the glass bottle.  

Going back to the NARS concealer, I love how creamy it is and the doe foot applicator applies product exactly where you want it - under eye, around the nostrils, between the brows, and anywhere you want to highlight.  It doesn't cake in the undereye area and it's just an overall great concealer.  A little goes a long way as well.  

Wearing Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

(unedited photos)

I typically use Custard as my go-to shade (Medium 1).  It hides undereye circles and uneven skintone quite naturally.
