In my last haul, I swore to myself that I wouldn't purchase anything else until I used up more of my products. Well... guess what? I caved. Post-Christmas, post-Boxing Day, post-Holiday sales are the ABSOLUTE BEST. I'm pretty sure they're trying to clear out everything. At least, that's what I tell myself. I guess my excuse to go shopping is that there's a sale. Oh... the temptation.
Essie in Plumberry || Essie in E-nuf is e-nuf || Essie in Flawless || Essie in Penny talk || Essie in Turks and Caicos || OPI in Gargantuan green grape
Trade Secrets was having a buy two OPI or Essie for $10.99. I got one OPI and one Essie polish, Shoppers' Drug Mart had buy one get one free. Essie polishes are regularly $11.99, so I got four of those. I know Trade Secrets is a better deal, but I get points at Shoppers'!
I basically got colours where I thought there were holes in my nail polish collection. I have no reds, no greens or blues, and only gold/silver glitters. That's pretty much how I chose everything. I definitely don't need any more polish at this point.Excuses... excuses... Let's be honest, I went a bit overboard.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous || L'Oreal Colour Riche Caresse Wet Shine Stain in Endless Red
Monday, Shoppers' was having yet another sale for Buy One Get One Free on lip products. I think the lady rang them up wrong... I'm not sure. I'm not too good at math, but individually Revlon is $10.99 and the L'Oreal is $12.99. I got both for $12 and some change, tax in.
These are both fairly new-ish products. I already have 2 Revlon balm stains [honey and smitten] and they're marvellous. I don't have any orange colours... or pigmented reds. Plus, they'll be great for doing Lip of the Day and review posts :)
L'Occitane Hand Cream in Peony
I got this little guy for FREE. L'Occitane Canada was having a Facebook Giveaway. The sample is pretty generous... 30mL, which I picked up in store. There was a choice of Peony, Lavender and Shea. Definitely deluxe and smells of a light floral and fruit and absorbs instantly into my nasty winter hands. Anyways, random thought, I remember Dad told me his [male] friend used L'Occitane. Not to say that hand cream is only for women, smooth hands should be a universal must! Anyways, this didn't cost me anything so it balances out all my spending ... not really :P
So, there you have it. My most recent mostly-nail-polish-purchases.
Have you tried any of these products?
So jealous you got the L'Occitane hand creme for free! It's my favorite hand lotion, you'll love it!
ReplyDeletehaha I already am... it's so smooth and my hands soak it up instantly! :)
DeleteI;ve been wanting to try out those new L'oreal lip colors! I swatched one on my hand at the drug store and it was INTENSE! That OPI polish looks gorgeous!

DeleteGreat choices on the polish colours, I am in the same boat as you. I need more polish like I need a hole in the head but I still keep buying it :/
ReplyDeleteIm weak, this is the only explanation I have lol
I need to pick up my free hand cream as well! Maybe next week as I do not plan on venturing out very far this weekend thanks to the snow storm!
I love your analogy,, hahaa! ... The snowstorm woke me up at 4:30am .. the plowing :( I think the handcream is worth the trip when it's a little less cold :)
DeleteNice haul! My eyes went straight to the last two polishes on the right since I prefer greens and teals over pinks. I'd love to see some swatches for the lippies.
ReplyDeleteThose are my first two green products!
DeleteOoooh your new Essie additions make me so happy! I was eyeing up E-nuf is E-nuf earlier today, looks perfect for summer! xx

Oh my. L'Occitane Hand Cream in Peony reminds me of my fav The Body Shop's Wild Rose Nourishing Hand Butter. I'm sure it smells divine. Going to try this one out this time. :)
