H-E-B Beauty Picks: Radiant Orchid

Last year, I was absolutely smitten with Pantone�s choice of emerald as the color of the year. Not only is it my birthstone, but it�s one of my favorite colors and I own a few pieces I just love in that color, including this dress, this dress and this one.

This year�s color, Radiant Orchid, is every bit as beautiful and I already have several pieces in my closet that feature this color. I�ve also seen this color pop up in a lot of J.Crew�s pieces this season, even for baby!

H-E-B recently sent me some beauty picks celebrating Radiant Orchid as the color of the year. As you know, when I�m not using my typical palette of neutrals (browns, grays and black), I reach for purple liners and shadows to make my eyes pop.
 | NYXC Love in Rio |
Three perfect purple shades from a soft lilac to a deep midnight purple can create a pretty smokey eye

| Rimmel Water Proof Exaggerate Eye Definer in Purple Shock |
This liner is a little edgy for an everyday look, but boy does it have staying power and incrdible pigmentation.

| L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Berry Persistent |
I already own this gloss in the light pink color and LOVE it. It lasts such a long time and I love the gel-like texture when you apply it. This color looks very purple in the tube but is a bold berry shade when applied to the lips.

| NYX roll on shimmer in Pink |
This is the coolest product I've tested out in awhile. I was skeptical of the roll-on, but it truly works and is SO pigmented (as you can see below)

Orchid Nail Lacquer in What�s Sa-Rong? 
I don't wear metallic polish very often, but this shade is perfect for an accent nail. I would pair it with Essie's "splash of grenadine"
top to bottom- eyeshadow, roll on shimmer, eyeliner, lip gloss

I just love purple---all shades! One of my favorite pairs of shorts is a beautiful, bright orchid color. I can't wait to wear them again this summer!
Do you love this year's Pantone color of the year? Do you own any makeup items or clothing in this color? Share below!
