SquareHue Skydive Interlaken April 2016

Press Sample

I wasn't really expecting anything from this collection to be honest. Between you, me and the rest of the Internet, I stayed off of Instagram most of the month so I didn't even know this months theme. There has been a lot of family stuff going on and preparing for my Mom to have surgery on the 19th and one other thing we really aren't talking about that deals with another family member. I did tweet about it when I found out, but that is all I really said about it. Unfortunately the big C happens to those you least expect it to happen too. That is all I shall say about that.

To a more happy note, this box was the colorful light of my month. It showed up on the 2nd of the month, but then again, I am only a few hours from Miami (where SquareHue) is located. So, it's kind of a sneaky advantage to me. *cackles* 

I think that out of all of the months so far, this is my collection. The polishes just scream Spring to me and I love it! 

Mönch looks like it would be a bright yellow jelly but it is in fact a bright yellow MATTE polish. I was really surprised when I read the card that it wasn't a jelly. It took two coats to make it opaque and surprisingly it was not hard to work with!

Eiger is a pink polish with a pretty light blue shimmer-pearl polish. SquareHue calls it a duo chrome and that is something that it definitely is not. Two coats is the perfect amount for a full coverage. You can still see a little bit of VNL, but not enough to warrant another coat.

Jungfrau has to be the most surprising polish for me. This is a light lavender polish with a lot of glitter in it. It's not chunky or does the glitter make it hard to work with. I've been waiting for them to make a polish with actual glitters in it instead of just a shimmer. I would say though that if you're wanting the amount of glitter I have, I would probably dab it a little bit here and there. That is how I got such an amount of glitter. On my pinky, I didn't dab though and you can see that you still get quite a bit of glitter. 

Jungfrau is the main summit in a group of mountains that is 4158 Meters (13,642 feet) high in the Bernese Alps.
Eiger is a 3970 Meters (13,025 feet) high mountain also in the Bernese Alps.
Mönch is a mountain that is 4106 Meters (13,474 Feet) high mountain also in the Bernese Alps.

Out of the three polishes from this month I would have to say that Jungfrau is probably my favorite. There is just something about it that I love. Plus, you can either wear it as one coat or two coats and I have shown in the above picture.
The formula's of these are all on par with each other and they all apply easily and you don't have to dab the glitter, it is just a personal preference. The whole collection is definitely a winner in my book!

If you would like to purchase this collection definitely check out SquareHue's shop! You can now buy individual polishes and previous collections! I LOVE that they're expanding!

Best, Autumn

SquareHue Dublin Pub Crawl - March 2016

Press Sample

I've been waiting to put blog posts back up until I can manage to get my .com address back, but then I realized that GoDaddy is giving me a hard time and wont release my domain name and I am not going to wait around and lose precious and valuable blogging time. I'm going to try and catch up with the next couple of weeks of the month and hopefully all will be good again! I'm also going to start throwing in more lifestyle-ish posts because I feel that the blogging world is too over saturated with beauty blogs and everyone is doing the same thing at the same time. There is nothing wrong with being different!

Without anymore rambling, here is the SquareHue Dublin Pub Crawl Collection!

I will say that I did internally groan a little bit when I saw the blue because they've been releasing quite a few blues as of late. They haven't released anything that is a dupe, but they have released a color a few months ago that is similar to this one.

St.John I would describe as a sky blue that is opaque in just two coats. The formula is lovely like usual with their cream polishes. 

Temple Bar I have been describing it as an orange creamsicle color that is a little darker than you would think. It's still gorgeous though! It is also opaque in two coats and the formula is just the same as usual.

Bridge Inn Is a "textured polish". I would say this is more of an off white with silver shimmers in it. Am I impressed with it? No. The formula is very thick and kind of hard to work with. It is a subtle textured polish though, so it's no like a PixieDust and it definitely is not like the China Glaze Textured ones. This does take two coats as well, but you have to make sure you get it even and really work with it. 

Is this my favorite collection by them? No it's not. There are definitely dupes out there for St.John, I do believe China Glaze has one and I can't think of the name at the moment. I don't have any polishes like Temple Bar and Bridge Inn so I am glad to have them! 

What do you think?
