Zoya Haul

I took advantage of Zoya's buy 1, get 2 free promotion this past week, and just recieved my package today. So excited!!

Left to right: Faye, Neeka, Caitlin.

Faye, a gift for my friend, is a great mauve with intense gold shimmer. Neeka is a dark grey-purple with red tones and gold shimmer. Finally, Caitlin is a very pretty purple-grey.

Apparently, I am in a purple mood. I just did a manicure with Neeka (which I'll post in a few days), and I can't stop staring at my nails. So pretty!

That's all for me. Til next time!

Drug Store Haul

I had some extra time today before my class started, so I ended up wandering around CVS and Rite Aid. Of course I ended up buying nail polish (I have no self control...). After this, I am banning myself from buying nail polish for a little bit.

• Sinful Colors Nail Art in Bad Chick


• Poshe Top Coat


• Scherer Chameleon Calypso


• Scherer Chameleon Blue Sky


• Sally Hansen HD DVD


• NYC Expert Last in Hint of Mint


• Milani 3D Holographic Hi-Tech


• Sinful Colors Nail Junkie

I'm really excited about these polishes. I picked up Poshe since Seche Vite has been driving me crazy lately with the shrinkage, and it's time for a change. The Chameleon ones look absolutely gorgeous in the bottle, I hope it translates to my nails. I'm not completely sold on DVD yet. To be honest, the only reason I bought it was because it came with a free Double Duty, which is my go to base coat. *shrug* I'll have to see what it looks like over black.

The last three were complete impulse purchases. I wanted to try out some new brands/polishes. My first real glitter, and my first holographic. Can't wait to try them out!

Zoya Haul & New NOTW: Zoya Faye

I had fully intended to wear the Shattered Glitz & Glamour look for a week, but yesterday I went on a cleaning spree, and the polish peeled off of two of my nails (I have since purchased rubber gloves..). I was planning on just redoing them, but then my Zoya polishes from the BOGO sale came in the mail today! :) A new mani was necessary. First, here's what I got from Zoya:

Mira, Phoebe, Faye, Ki, and Apple. All but Ki were from the BOGO sale. I added Ki since she is just too gorgeous to pass up. I decided that I needed to try Faye first, since she is sooo much prettier than pictures suggest.Please excuse my hiding middle finger, non-fast dry top coat sucks and I need to redo that nail. This is 3 coats over base coat, topped with NYC top coat, since Seche was doing funky things to the polish.

Faye is a completely gorgeous lavender, with intense golden shimmer. At 3 coats, it practically glows in the dark. I am completely in love with the color...I'm thinking of buying another bottle just in case.

'Nother Haul...I Can't Stop

Apparently, I am on a mission to spend all the money that I have on makeup. I went to CVS today to fill some holes in my stash, and came out with wayy more than I expected to.

From left to right:

• L'Oreal Forest Smokes
• NYC Love Me Red Creme
• Lumene Waterproof Makeup Remover (my favorite makeup remover, ever!!)
• NYC Automatic Lip Liner in Bare Brown
• NYC Automatic Eye Liner in Plum Perfect (that's what it says, but it looks black, to me)
• NYC Extreme Lip Glider Lip Gloss in Chelsea Rose
• Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner in Blackest Black
• NYC Kiss Gloss in Pink Lemonade

I've tried a few things out already, and I'm absolutely in love with the glosses, and Revlon liner. The NYC liners are okay, but not what I expected. A bit sheer, but they build up well.

Mini Haul and Stuff

Few things today. First up, an addition to the Project 10 Pan list.

I finally finished up my sample-sized Lancome L'Extreme mascara. I LOVE this stuff, but its just to expensive to justify paying $30+ for mascara. So, the list is now:

• Clinique 3-Step System (sample)
• Lancome L'Extreme mascara (sample)

Next up, I have a little mini haul from today. I went out to the Christmas Tree Shop with my mom and grandma and picked up a couple things.Since I used up my Lancome mascara, and my backup Clinique mascara dried out, I needed something to replace them. I picked up Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara. I tried it out when I got home, and I have a new love. It doesn't clump, and makes my lashes look sooo long and thick.

And since I, apparently, can not walk down a makeup aisle without picking up nail polish, I ended up getting Revlon Minted. When I saw this, it reminded me of those Shamrock Shakes at McDonalds and, since I'm gearing up for St. Patty's Day, I decided to get it for a festive manicure.

And that's it for today. G'night everyone!

Polish Haul!!

I was out having lunch with the bff, and I decided to hit up the salon after to see if they have OPI Black Shatter. They didn't have it. But oh well, I knew it was a long shot. I did end up grabbing a few discontinued OPIs and my first China Glaze!

From L-R: OPI Yodel Me On My Cell, OPI Overexposed in South Beach, and China Glaze Life Preserver.

I've wanted 'Yodel' for a while, and I'm glad I was able to get it on sale. 'Overexposed' caught my eye when I was pawing through the sale bin, and I couldn't not buy it. I really wanted one of the grey/blue colors from the Anchor's Away collection but, apparently, so did everyone else. Only the reds were left. This one was just so different I had to buy it.

I won't be wearing any of these for at least a week. I already have my manicure planned out for next week (hot pink w/ hot pink/bright yellow water marble accent...can you tell I want spring?), but I'll probably wear one of these after. Most likely one of the OPIs
