Rescue Beauty Lounge Pause and Turn It Around are two new shades from the Emoting Me collection for 2013.
This collection features seven new shades, but these were the two that really stood out to me as the most interesting and unique, so I snatched them up in the pre-sale.
The formula is pretty good, as with most RBL shades. Two to three thin coats works best for great results.
Note: Cruelty free
Hey there!
Ok so going on right now is the Rescue Beauty Lounge Bring It Back 4 promotion. Basically they brought back 6 popular shades for a limited time. I definitely got in on this because the second I saw swatches of Aqua Lily part of me DIED because I didn’t own it. And now I do!
The formula for all three of these is really good. At first they all seemed super sheer with one coat and I assumed they would be three-coaters. But after two coats for each one they were pretty much perfect.
Hopefully these swatches will help make or break your decision to swipe up one or two of these beauties.
Insouciant, Aqua Lily, Piu Mosso
I took these pictures way back in the beginning of summer and am just now getting to this post!
This was a reader request of a few colors for a vs. post. Today we are pitting Zoya Neeka, BB Couture Michael and Rescue Beauty Lounge Catherine H. against each other.
RBL Catherine H. is kind of the oddball here since it’s obviously pretty different from the other two but I included it anyway.
Top ‘o’ the afternoon to ya!
Today starts a new nail series called “vs.” where I will be pitting two possible dupes against each other discussing the differences.
Let’s start this off with a color called Confetti by drug store brand Jesse’s Girl.
I had heard from a couple people that this was extremely close if not a dupe for Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie. Now Scrangie is one of my favorite nail colors EVER and possibly my favorite purple, so when I heard this, I hunted her down at Rite Aid and captured her. 
Rescue Beauty Lounge has a fabulous new collection for fall 2010. The colors are based on “The Real Housewives of the Tudor Dynasty” in other words, four of King Henry the VIII’s wives.
As a quick side-note, you might not know this about me, but I am obsessed with Tudor history and have been for about five years. I have read tons of historical books, fiction books and watched every series and movie in recent memory about it. I am utterly fascinated. In fact, half the reason I wanted to go to London last year was to visit The Tower of London where Anne Boleyn was held and murdered (along with Catherine Howard). I am particularly fascinated with Anne Bolyen and believe all the stories about her being a witch and evil are false. I think she was sucked into the Kingdom by her family who only wanted to use her for their own fortune, and by the power of the King. Listen to me, I act like I was actually there.
Anyway I digress. This collection is insanely delicious. Ji’s idea for the colors is based on the opulent colors and fabrics of that era.
“I fell in love with the Tudor dynasty in the novel Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel,” says Baek. “The more I learned of the queens’ wardrobes—the layers of embroidery, embellishments of pearls and fur and rich jewel toned fabrics—the more I saw a parallel with what’s going on in fashion this fall. Givenchy’s intricate brocades, Lanvin’s feather-festooned metallics, and the strong, powerful neutrals at Celine all served as starting points for Rescue Beauty Lounge’s Autumn/Winter color collection. Each color has micro particles of pink, blue, green, gold, and silver to add iridescence similar the tiny colored threaded that give brocade fabrics their depth of color.”
The formula of these is complete perfection, as you would hope for from RBL. Butter. Smooth. Opaque in two coats.
