Sunday Fun Day - It's A Haul!

Hey there!

Just FYI, this is a haul over a 2 week period. I've been picking up random things here and there and now, I'm finally ready to share them with you!

I've mentioned in an empties that I enjoying adding lavender Epsom salts to my bath. I normally pick up smaller packs from Dollar Tree but the Target Up and Up brand was a good deal. I'll try them out but I can't imagine that it's any different than the Dollar Tree one.

Yep! I picked up another pack of Pure & Gentle Make-up Remover Wipes from Walmart. I have really begun to like these! They are nice and wet and most days I can use 1 wipe and get off all of my makeup. They aren't better than my Wet n Wild makeup wipes but they are a verrrrrry close second. And, the price is right.

I found Honeymania shower gel from The Body Shop at my local Marshalls. I've mentioned that any time I see a shower gel from The Body Shop, I am going to grab it. They smell so good and they lather so well. They had a peach one but I've already sniffed that one so I wanted to try a new one.

Also at Marshalls I found an Essie nail polish in Using My Maiden Name. It appears to be a beautiful, slightly iridescent light purple. I also got a purple from NYC at Walmart. Purple Pizzazz Frost is a darker iridescent purple. I also picked up Strip Me Off by NYC. It's a base coat that you can peel off. I thought this would be great with any glitter polish that I use.

And, I lucked up during a Dollar Tree trip. I found 2 Milani Liquid Lip Colors. Neither of them have a name so I have to go with "the brown one" and "the fuchsia one". Perfect names in my opinion.

See, I didn't pickup much. I could have picked up quite a bit more but I really wanted to scale back my purchases. I went into Ulta and came out with nothing. NOTHING! I also went into the makeup section of Kohls and came away with .... NOTHING! See, I'm doing well.

But, why I scaled down my purchases, I'm not going to never purchase anything else. You know I'm not going to do that! What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't buy things to blog about??

Nail Polish - Essie - Using My Maiden Name & Pansy

Hey There!

Spring has sprung! That means I need to change up my polish. I try to go a bit springy and use fewer dark colors when warmer weather hits. While it's pretty easy to do that on my toes (cause I can rock almost ANY color on them), I have to be a bit more careful on my fingers. This time I went with Essie polishes all the way.

My finger nails got draped in Using My Maiden Name. It's a cute name for a polish for sure. It's from the 2013 Bridal Collection. I did not purchase it for $8.50 in 2013. I paid $3.99 this year. It's a pretty color but I had to use three very careful coats. Each coat was thin and very strategically placed. The end result was good and I must admit, it's been a very long time since I have colored inside the lines. I'm glad that I bought it.

My toes have been having fun! I picked up Pansy a few weeks ago and knew that it was going on my feet. I'm not sure which collection Pansy was in originally but it has been around for at least 4 years because in my research, that was the first blog post I found on it. I can't tell you the ease of it cause the lady at the pedicure place put it on my toes for me. But, they look good.

Side bar - you forget how great your toes look when the lady at the pedicure place cuts your toe nails for you! I won't go back for a month or six weeks (cause I can paint my own) but the nail cut is perfecto. I'm gonna milk it!

So those are my first color pops of spring. I'm so glad to be able to use all the pastels that I purchased on sale during the winter months. Just wait and see what I have on rotation!!
