Tag: Colors of the Rainbow

Hello Lovelies :)

I've been tagged by the sweet Mariam from In Her Abayas to do the Colors of the Rainbow challenge.

The idea is to take all the colors of the rainbow, and choose your favorite things (beauty products, bag, shoes...) in each color, which are RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO, VIOLET and PINK, and for more fun we had a multicolor item.

Here's my selection:

RED

Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Sunset Boulevard Clutch

ORANGE

Cadum Hair Conditioner with Argan Oil

YELLOW

Aldo Patent Peep Toe Shoes

GREEN

VS Pro Primer

BLUE

Thierry Mugler Angel Body Lotion

INDIGO

Tunic by New Look

VIOLET

Essie "Sexy Divide"

PINK

YSL Rouge Volupte #29

MULTICOLOR

Urban Decay Vice Palette

I had so much fun doing this tag, thanks for the idea Mimi ;)

Now I'm tagging:

Le Guide de la Maghribia Actuelle

Mes Bistouilles

My Daily Fashion Dose

hope you'll enjoy!!!
