Corals are my new obsession!!

Ladies, I can’t tell you enough how much I love corals, from coral blushes to coral lip glosses.  Especially for the summer, it looks good on everyone, especially with that tan skin!  Currently in my purse, I have my four favorite coral lip glosses which give me a nice, moisturized, and pretty shade for the spring/summer.
1.       Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Glow #236 (pretty light coral shade, looks good when you pair it with Nars Belle De Jour lipstick as a base.
2.       Nars GIZA…My number one favorite coral lip gloss right now.  Looks good when paired with the Kevyn Aucoin lip liner called MEDIUM (at Barneys).
3.       Chanel Glossimer #146….found it in the chanel store and is a fairly new color that came out.  Gives a pretty glow. (Around $30-35$).
4.       Kevyn Aucoin lip gloss (comes with a cute brush) called Molasses—found in Barneys.  Love that it comes with a travel brush so that you can apply the gloss without using your fingers since it comes in a jar.

Love to pair this nude Nars lipstick called Belle De Jour with my coral lip glosses!  Looks amazing!
The Kevyn Aucoin lip gloss comes with this cute travel brush to apply the gloss on properly.  Love it!

Lastly, I am obsessed with coral blushes, looks amazing on bronzed skin for the summer.  Since I have a tint of redness naturally on my cheeks, I don’t like using reds or pinks as blushes since it brings out the red more.  So I began using coral blushes and have used that shade since!  Here are some favorites of mine.
1.       Givency Le Prisme Blush Powder Blush—Color 25 In Vogue Orange (gives a pretty orange/coral shade when applied).  I love how it has four shades that you mix together!  (You can purchase at Sephora for $44.00)
2.       Kevyn Aucoin Blush in DOLLINE.  (At Barneys but sells out a lot). 
3.       MAC blush in COPPERTONE (Peach/brown and matte).  This is my favorite one I have!
4.       MAC blush in MELBA (Soft coral-peach).  Roughly $19.50 for each blush from MAC.
5.       Laura Mercier blush in ORANGE BLOSSOM. (high shimmer apricot with golden pink pearl).  $24.00 for each blush from Laura Mercier.
Kevyn Aucoin DOLLINE $37.00 at Barneys ONLY.
Alright girls, hope you enjoyed my segment on my favorite corals for the spring/summer.  I have tons more that I will continue to add for coral colors!
