I Almost Lost Most Of My Polish!!

So one of my nails was uneven. I recently put most of my polish and accessories in baskets on a shelf above my bed when we rearranged my bedroom. I stood on my bed to get a file off the shelf, rested my elbow on the shelf for a split second and CRASH! The sound woke my mom out of a dead sleep. I heard, "What was that?" I yelled back, "My shelf just fell off the wall!" And believe me, I was shaking. It's a wooden shelf that my great grandpa made. It had screws with drywall plugs, and holes in my wall look like it was ripped out! I had to look in my trash can and in empty boxes from packages I got today (sorry, not nail related!) for fallen polishes. Thank goodness none were broken, and I only have a small scratch diagonally on my left wrist (NOT the photo side! Thank goodness, because I would have been even more scared if it was on top of my visible veins!) Now for the visual aids!

Shelf, standing up

Left side holes

Right side holes

Scratch right between the moles!

Drywall dust on my headboard (iPhone used flash, sorry!)

So next time I ask for something to blog about, I'm going to be careful what I wish for!!

Another Collective Haul

I spent more of my gift cards (Etsy, Bath and Body Works, and ULTA) and got a good haul!

Starting with Etsy, I got 2 polishes from 2 different shops. I only have $1.35 left on the gift card now :(


First from Daily Lacquer, I got 1 polish and a sample.

The polish I bought (right) is Tink Pink and my sample looks to be Chibiusa.

Oh, and I tied a new ribbon around it since STUPID ME was wanting to fix the frayed ribbon and I unraveled it!

:)

Next, I got a polish from Kelara Laquers

This is I Love Lamp from their new Double Rainbow collection.

This is what the holo looks like in the bottle.

:)

Next, I ordered from Bath and Body Works online.

All of these items replaced older items in my collection, the shower gels and mists had also changed formulas

I replaced the rest of my Vanilla Bean Noel.

I also replaced my Twisted Peppermint mist and my Warm Vanilla Sugar shower gel. 

Next, I got some things from ULTA.

I got these 2 files and a buffing block. All 3 are NOT what was pictured online. I am SO glad these were cheap. These things are so ugly...

The highlight of my order was 2 Butter Londons. They are Lovely Jubbly and Chancer.

The last thing I ordered was a CHOCOLATE MASQUE. I've honestly wanted this forever.

I also got my free samples from the Variety option, which according to ULTA logic, just means shampoo and conditioner!

Shampoo/Conditioner duo and 2 conditioners.

I have a ZOYA order on the way from the promo too :) After that, I am on a NO BUY unless I get Julep boxes or use a gift card.

Collective Haul!!

Today I have a haul from a traveling polish box, around the house (I'll explain later), MakeItStickDesigns (etsy), Bath and Body Works, a gift, and a purchase from a friend.

First, the Traveling Box. The particular group that I am in has 3 boxes, 2 in the US (east and west) and 1 in Canada. I took out 3 polishes, and put in 3 polishes.

I got Essie Pink Diamond, Layla Mermaid Spell, and Julep Lynn.

Next, around the house. My sister was cleaning out, so I took some stuff.

 I got half a Pomegranate Citrus spray, my old Fresh Pineapple shampoo, a mini PINK spray, a mini Spider Cider lotion and a Chocolate Chew pocketbac.

Next, MakeItStickDesigns.

I got a Scratch and Dent grab bag of nail decals. I got mustaches, butterflies, and chevron. One set of chevron was black, and the other 2 were blue and sparkly.

Next, another SAS haul!

My holiday traditions are getting up there in age, so I got Vanilla Bean Noel and Pink Sugarplum fine fragrance mist.

Next, I won a friend's contest.

My prize was a gift card to JCP. Kind of afraid for their future as a business! All of the "extinct businesses of 2013" articles claim that JCP won't survive. Considering Current TV was on those lists, they might be spot on this year!

Finally, I got one of my biggest wants!!

BUTTER LONDON KNEES UP!! It's a shiny, wonderful red.

Considering it's after 3 AM, I'm going to sleep now. Leave me comments!! PLEASE?????????

January Julep Box!

This month Julep had a theme of nudes and neons! I stuck with my typical profile, Classic With a Twist. I also got one add on.

So let's get started!

The card this month talked about the polishes and the removal of the square cap! I figured this out a week before I got the box. LOL

The Stars! Grace (nude) and Madison (neon)

New series numbers on the labels

New Swatch Me stickers. One extra in the box was 20 Swatch Me Stickers. I, sadly, need more.

The product this month was a hand and cuticle stick. I had zero interest since I have lotion and oil that will work. I swapped this, and you'll see what I got for this in a future blog post.

We also got a bonus of neon colored hair ties. My sister gladly snatched the ties in my least favorite colors (green and orange) and I kept my favorite color (pink!!) It holds my hair okay, it feels loose.

My add on was 10 packets of 10 polish remover pads. 

Hopefully, February is full of pink and red <3 <3 What do you think? Comment below! 

YAY! Finally a Christmas Haul!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! My first posts of the New Year will be hauls! This one is obviously my Christmas haul, which is kind of late. NOTE: Only relevant items shown.  First,my Julep items!

Left to right: Carly, Harper, Vivien, Scarlett and Barbara.

I also got the pink iPhone case.

My last Julep item was a New Year's Mystery Box. It contained polish remover pad and hand cream samples, Boho Glam mascara, mystery glitter, Stella, Georgia, Cindy, Sienna, foot soak and nail file. Most of this will be swapped, but I am satisfied since I got remover pads, a new glitter and foot soak. The value of these items alone exceed what was paid for the box.

Now Color Club and stamping items.

I got 2 color clubs with no names (a runny, separated silver glitter and a rainbow glitter)

I also got 2 stamping plates that I found at Walmart.

Now for indies!

From Kelara, I got Festivus, Daydream, Fairy Farts and Hooray for Boobies! I had on a glitter skittle mani when I took the pictures, and the first 3 polishes are on the fingers shown. 

(NOTE: My hair gets EVERYWHERE! Sorry!!)

From Lush Lacquer I got Snow Globe, Sugar Daddy, Mr. Bubble and Peace Luv Polish

Thumb: Sugar Daddy (with white base coat), Middle Finger: Snow Globe, Ring Finger: Peace Luv Polish, Pinkie: Mr.Bubble

Random Polishes:

Glitzology: All or Nothing, Nailtini: Millionarie, Deborah Lippmann: Candy Shop, China Glaze: It's a Trap-eze, Nails Inc: a sprinkles polish

Now for nail care items!

File, remover, pedi soak, orange sticks

Foot Bath thing.

Now my tarts!

These are from Rosegirls, my favorite tart company on the face of the Earth. A lot of it is custom order. I got some of their blends. Strawberry Banana Bubblegum is the bag, LOVE IT. I also got 4 custom muffins (right below the bag) in the first muffin, a blend of hot cocoa, vanilla bean noel and peppermint. I also got muffins in Purple Cow (grape Popsicle) and Fireside Marshmallow Type. I also got samples in Hazelnut Macadamia Cappuccino (not a fan on cold sniff, coffee makes me gag LOL), and Raspberry Sauce/Sweet Lemon Confection. Check out Rosegirls on Facebook to stay updated!

On to more beauty!

3 cosmetic bags: 2 were free from ULTA and one was an IPSY bag

Random samples, dupes given away.

More samples- kept both of the benefit ones!

Hair brush, facial cleanser, Wonderstruck Enchanted (travel), Pink Sugar Rollerball, face mask, dry shampoo

Gift cards to Bath and Body Works (more than 1), Kohl's (1), Etsy (1) and Aeropostale (1) Not pictured: Amazon gift cards that could be used for beauty items.

Finally, I have my Bath and Body Works items!

I was underwhelmed or fainting over the price of (COUGHFOREVEREDCOUGH) most of the bodycare, so I got accessories! Not pictured are my penguin slipper socks (being washed). I also got a Scentportable, a weird nail file thing that is reflective on the other side, and another pocketbac holder.
