Chrissie- nah, the one I posted is how mine looks. The brush is the same though. I really like the brush. Weirdness that they're bottles in different in different areas?

I think all Sally Hansen polishes have that weird dome shaped, triangular style brush now. I bought a couple polishes yesterday on clearance at Ulta and I noticed that as well. You just have to be really careful or you will end up with polish everywhere.

I didn't get in on the Zoya deal, I tried but their page wouldn't even load Maybe not a bad thing, I did an inventory and I already have over 60 Zoya polishes.... :D I'm looking forward to your swatches Spork!

I picked up Sally Hansen Parchment and Black Platinum at Ulta on clearance for about $1.60 after coupon. I read that Black Platinum is a dupe for Chanel Black Pearl but I personally think Black Pearl has more of a green duochrome than Black Platinum. Either way, cheap scores.

My nail polish obsession is fading a bit. I still love, but it's just not that necessary. ugh.

I did just throw on a few beautiful coats of Essie's Size Matters. Because...it does matter.

Unfortunately, after 1 day of work, it already looks horrible.

Made the ultimate score at Ulta today. Butter LONDON polishes were buy one get one, and I was able to find my ultimate lemmings! Knackered and Black Knight. I used some of my Ulta points and was able to get both for $11.75. One bottle usually retails for $14.

The Black Knight

Knackered

Also, I don't know if I've ever shared this on BL before, but here is a link to My Stash board on Pinterest, with a swatch of every polish I own. I know Chrissie follows me but if anyone else has an account you should follow me too!

DEAL ALERT!

Manicure Addict's blog is featuring a deal from Coterie, a website sort of like Haute Look but specifically for beauty. The event is 3 butter LONDON polishes plus a matte dry top coat, plus free shipping for $36. The kicker, there is a $25 off code which brings the total to $11. There are only 6 colors to choose from, but Knackered, which I posted earlier is one of them!!

omg, these look amazeballs. fahk u black milk and all your glorious temptations!

 

[chrissie]

i decided to wait on the pair above because there are no shots of sharkies wearing them yet. i wish the burned velvet weren't sold out, those are super hot!

i did, however, make a splurge on 3 more pairs.... i can see this becoming a big, big problem :D

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

^Which ones?!

 

[chrissie]

Galaxy purple, leg bones and day of the dead

 

[spork]

As promised, Zoya Feifei is on the left and Zoya Crystal is on the right.

Feifei is more purpley, but there really isn't much of a difference. Honestly if I didn't know, I probably would just think they were the same. Good thing I was running out of Crystal, now I can just replace it with Feifei. :D

 

[poopie]

So, I just ordered five pairs of Warby Parkers for their "At Home" try-on program, which is totally free. Even the shipping.

I'm probably going to be recruiting you guys for some opinions.

I'm looking for a new body moisturiser - what does everyone else use/suggestions? Preferably one I can order online, unless it's available in Aus too

I love moisturisers with a gorgeous scent, and I do try and buy ones that are sustainably sourced/made too.

Any ideas?

BTW queenbee, I am so jelly of your collection.

 

[euphoria]

^coconut and lavendar oil ftw

 

[CHiLD-0F-THE-BEAT]

LUSH have a great range of sustainably sourced, 'Eco' minded moisturizers. Thy have some beautiful scent ranges too. I've been steering clear of them myself, even though it breaks my heart, as my skin has become super sensitive to fragrances again.

I definitely recommend checking out their website, going into the store can be sensory overload for some people.

 

[footscrazy]

^ Oh I love lush, I'd completely forgotten about them, thanks for reminding me

That's no good your skin has become senstive to fragrances, I have the same problem on my face, I'm allergic to so many face creams, hypo allergenic or not. It really sucks

^coconut and lavendar oil ftw

What are they like on your skin? I've always imagined oils to be really slimy and taking ages to dry before you can get dressed, which is why I haven't used an oil so far.

 

[queenbee1127]

In the summer I can use just about anything, but in the winter when it starts to get dry, I can't live without Eucerin's Calming Cream. I even use the body wash along with it, my skin gets so tight and itchy I just about want to crawl out of it without these products.

For fragrances, I'm obsessed with Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom. I keep a stock pile of their body cream at all times, in my car, on my desk at work, on the coffee table, but I usually only use it on my hands. They run coupons pretty often where you can get a free signature item with a $10 purchase. I can be hit or miss with BBW, I don't like things that smell like food

I used to love Burt's Bees Milk & Honey lotion. The last time I bought it, I thought it smelled like it had gone bad/expired. Now, looking at reviews, it appears that they changed the formula and there are lots of unhappy customers. What a shame because it had such a delicious but not overpowering scent.

 

[AmorRoark]

^ Ugh. That's good to know because I use to love it as well.

 

[ocean]

Noooo!!!!! I Wonder is the body wash formula was changed as well.
I miss it with other body washes and love it.....I sure hope it's just the lotion.
