GO GO GO!! Hunter is fab. Formula was great, want it to be a bit darker, swatch was only 2 quick coats, so I think with a proper nail job, she'll be perf!

So I went into a shop during lunch that I knows carries the current Zoya collections (with a few others) to pick up Hunter and then I remembered why I always end up not buying it. Pretty as she is, she looks so wrong against my skin. I kept trying to rationalize buying Hunter, but did the reasonable thing, put her down .... and then grabbed Ray, paid and bolted out the store before I could tell myself that it wouldn't work on me either. 

I only did a quick swatch and I have to say, I'm impressed. I've never bought one of the nicer quality polishes before and didn't realize there could be such a difference. The last time I wore polish was like a year ago, it was Pure Ice I picked up as a last minute pre-event purchase and I spent FOREVER putting it on and trying to make it look nice. I chipped that sad sad can't even call it a mani in such a short time. So short a time and so badly that my husband was shocked and commented on how long it had taken me. I almost did an entire hand with the Zoya before I realized it and it didn't look horrible. Not super, but not horrible, which is pretty amazing given my polish ineptitude.

In retrospect, Ray seems to be too cool for my skin, like Hunter would have been. I kinda knew this would be the case, but it looked so pretty. I really need to start learning how to pick polishes that go with my son tone.

My husband was so impressed that I went all month without buying any nail polish that he gave me $20 tonight and told me to go buy some as a reward. Not much open at 9 pm in my town, but I did manage to snag a few from Target, lol.

I bought NYC in Precious Peacock, Sinful Colors in Let's Talk, Purple Diamond and 24/7, and a NYX pencil in Milk since everyone here seems to love it.

I went a little Sephora crazy last night & today... at least for me. I never splurge like this, but they have the holiday sample kits out + I had a 20% off F&F coupon. 





Sooooo I have a lot of pretty things coming on Friday! And now I'm not letting myself buy anything except Christmas presents until after December.

I'm so bummed, they are already out of the holly bag promo. I have to laugh though, our orders look so alike, we bought a lot of the same stuff, I just did mine in the store! You have very good taste *smile*

I still show all 4 available online if I put in 'BLITZ'! Maybe there was a glitch or something? 

Thanks, you have great taste too! I've been lusting after these things for weeks and finally just decided to treat myself.

Thank you! I had put the item # because I didn't have the code and it said it was sold out. But when I used the code it gave me the choices. Now to stop myself from buying another $75 for the other three bags! It's so hard to resist, but I must, at least for a while!

My most recent purchase was Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray. After trying four different brands of primer, and still having my makeup wear off by mid-afternoon because of my oily complexion, I decided to try a setting spray. I am so glad I did! This product is amazing. My makeup looks the same when I get home from work as it did when I left for work. I love it!!!! That and mineral powder. Best additions to my makeup routine.

Recent purchases from Sephora with my 20% off F&F code:



A little bummed with the BB favorites one--smaller than I was expecting (though I don't know why I thought they would be bigger for $25!). But I loveee the Tarte palette.

I think it looks nice! At any rate, I wear whatever color I feel like wearing, whether one might say it "goes" with my skin tone or not. Who cares?? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I keep seeing people saying that this or that polish doesn't go with their skin tone.  Personally, I think this color looks good on you.  I have never given a thought to what nail color goes with my skin tone, and to be completely honest, I proably don't even know what my skin tone is!!  I buy what colors I like and would want to wear and if somone says anything about my polish and my skin tone, I'd be like, yeah, whatever, I like it!!

And I have Zoya Hunter, and I LOVE it!!  Use that with Zoya Opal on top and, OMG, it's stunning!!  Seriously, everyone should try that combo!!

Some one really needs to cut up my credit card. However I'm planning on using some of this for gifts!

From the Butter London Friends and Family Sale:

-Holly Jolly Holiday Duo

-Silver Bells Holiday Duo 

Both of these will be Christmas gifts, since I already have the Holly Jolly Duo coming to me.

From Zoya's Halloween sale

-Giovanna

-Mosheen

I've wanted both of these for a while and they were a great sale! 

From Julep Secret Store

-Autumn polish (the only one I really wanted from the November selection window)

-Casper add on

-Kai add on

Super excited for this! I also had a coupon so it was only like $12!

From Madison Street Beauty on Etsy

-19 piece eyeshadow grab bag (only $9.50!)

-Forest Nymph nail polish

I've bought way too much polish this week! I also plan to place a small Cult nails order soon, but after that no more polish!

I care! =P If I think it looks too weird I'd probably spend the day looking at my fingers all cross-eyed. Second day wear and I'm loving it. I think it was just that it's been an awfully long time since I've had anything so dark on my nails and it was a bit of a shock. My husband seems to approve and has declared that they were "pretty metal."

I'm a light olive with a lot of yellow underneath. Some colors contrast oddly and I feel I end up looking really sallow or jaundiced. It's just a personal thing. Hunter, unfortunately, had this effect on my fingers which is why I didn't pick her up. =(

UD Glinda palette and and eyeliner in Crush. BUT both were on clearance and I have been wanting the palette for a while /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I JUST said I would not buy anything until after Christmas but I totally bought Payton & Dream from today's Zoya sale. Oops!

I picked up some Lancôme Bienfait BB Cream yesterday. They discontinued my favorite Bienfait tinted moisturizer and like everyone else have jumped on a BB bandwagon. It's early and I haven't put it on yet so I'll know later how effective the new formula is. But the real bonbons came in the PWP set I picked up with it! There is a special set for $60 with any purchase, that has three shadows, blush, liner, mascara, two lipsticks, a Juicy Tubes gloss, eye makeup remover, brushes, a Genifique and a little tube of primer. Everything but the Genifique and primer are full size, and they all came in a HUGE train case. I feel like I practically stole $300 worth of Lancôme!
