Nail Related Things Haul

So I have been searching for a new top coat polish. I usually use Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat but the shrinking is starting to get really bad and I can't stand it! So I purchased some new ones to try out.

I also used to use Out The Door but that one just isn't glossy enough. So here you have it, Healthy Hoof Hi-Gloss Protectant and Precision Quick Dry Top Coat. The other two is just a cuticle cream and nail base since my nails are really thin and always peeling.

With that said, what's your favorite top coat? Do you have any suggestions?

Polish Haul!

Gotta LOVE hauls! Who doesn't? Except the fact that your pocket has a tiny hole. If you know what I mean. However, I finally bought my first 2 Color Club polishes and I am super excited to try them out! In the mean, look out for swatches!

Yay, do you like hauls?

Mini PRO FX Haul

Have any of you used this brand before? I bought the base coat a while ago on a whim since it was on clearance not thinking much about it since it was a few dollars. When I got the chance to try it, my polish no joke lasted for 2 weeks, no chip. I was seriously amazed!

I sometimes don't use this just because it the polish lasts forever and I don't want my mani to last that long, but when I know I won't have the chance to do my nails for a while, this one is a lifesaver! The bottle says epoxy bond base coat, DBP and toluene free. It's 1 fluid ounce. Totally worth the purchase considering the awesome job performance.

When I went shopping the other day I saw a few other products of the same brand and wanted to try them out to see how they worked. I haven't tried it yet but I am very anxious.

I purchased the cuticle remover, top coat and cuticle oil. You can find this brand at Wal Mart for less than $7 dollars I believe. You get about a good 2.5 fluid ounce for the cuticle oil and top coat. That's a lot, compared to a regular .5 ounce top coat for $11-13 (Seche Vite and Voila).

Have you heard or tried this brand before? If not, would you like to try it?

Mini Lush Haul

I went shopping over the weekend and purchased a few products from Lush for the first time! I knew that there is a Lush store somewhere near where I live but I never had the time and didn’t want to just drive all the way out there to buy some health and beauty products. But, I saw that there was a Lush in the mall and made a stop. I only purchased 3 things but I am super excited to try them out! I can’t remember the names unfortunately. That doesn’t help you out all. But there are SO many great products from Lush to try out so you’re really not going to miss out on much. 

The bath bomb smells.. I can't really describe it but it is one of the newest bath bombs that they have. There are flower petals that are individually hand picked from Turkey just for these bombs. How special is that? Then I bought this green soap. I'm not sure what it is called but it goes in the tub. And let me telly you, it smells so yummy! It's so fresh! I just want to eat it! The last thing I purchased was a facial cleanser. I only purchased a small amount to try it out. The sales person that recommended this said this was one of the best selling cleansers. Maybe it's true? Or not, either way I bought it. So this concludes my mini haul. 

Do you have/own(ed) any Lush products? If so, what do you recommend?

Sinful Colors Haul

I was shopping the other day and saw that my local Walgreens had a sale where Sinful Colors had their nail polishes for only $.99 a bottle. As if $1.99 weren’t cheap enough?! I decided to pick up a few bottles for myself since I didn’t own any. And for the price, why not? Who could go wrong with a polish bottle for only $.99? The sale for Sinful Colors will be ending the end of this week 02/18/12. So pick up a few bottles if you haven’t already! This is one heck of a deal!

Do you plan to purchase is Sinful Colors this week? If you already own them, do you like them?

ELF Black Friday Haul

So today, I went to Fedex and I finally picked up my shipment after 3 attempts. I just could no longer wait. I was so excited to see these. I have a few other ELF products but I havent tried some of these (shown above). Clearly, I bought this when it was Black Friday so they had a 50% off their entire website with a coupon. I also had an e-gift coupon for about $31 dollars since my last order did not make it to me. So Everything totaled up to be $60 something with the 50% off, then I used my e-gift and only ended up paying about $6 something dollars. SCORE! So I got everything here for under $6 dollars - OK, maybe even $7. However, it was such a good deal I could not resist! I will hopefully be doing an updated post about these products if you guys are interested?!

Lastly, you can order ELF products here: http://www.eyeslipsface.com.

Do you own anything from and ELF?
Sincerely,

Tiny Drugstore Haul

Today while I was snooping around CVS, I found these super awesome deals! Most were 75% off. So pretty much, these items each were no more than $5! 

From the left to right: Physicians Formula Gel Strips and Eye Candy, Maybelline Mineral Power Concealer, L'Oreal Infallible in Lindas Beige, Revlon in Soft Rose, Travalo, Revlon Enamel in Ignite and Perplex, lastly Sally Hansen nail polish quad.

I am estatic! These are great deals! You should definitely check out your local CVS to see if they are having any price cuts on the beauty items. 

So today was my last day of classes/final for my fall semester. The final was worse than the midterm. All the questions that were on the practice final wasnt even on the final. What a waste. I hope I at least passed with a B. Thatd be at least satisfying. 

Tomorrow is my sisters baby shower. Im making her a diaper cake and cake pops. Hopefuly that turns out well. (= I should probably get started on that since I want to do nails tonight as well. 

Have a great weekend!

AHY
