Then my boyfriend bought me the blowdryer. And the saleslady highly recommended the Seche Vite base and topcoat. Although she looked at me funny for buying so much polish. She said, "Do you do nails professionally...?" lol.
I went there too and got 13 polishes, including the Seche Vite base and topcoat (BOGO - so that was a good deal!) for 28 total.  Not too bad considering the Seche top coat alone was 7.99.  I didn't even realize they were BOGO until she went to grab the base coat for me and put it in for free.  I tried the Seche base and top coat last night and except for the terrible smell I like them so far.  No chipping, dried fast, and the finish looks super shiny like gel.

3 of the colors I picked up I am not sure I like them that much.  I would return them but that seems lame when they were 2 bucks a bottle!  I can always trade or gift them.

I'd keep them for a swap or trade. I have heard that the Seche base coat isn't great so I'm curious to hear what you think after wearing for a bit. The top coat is awesome. First time I tried it was like a life altering experience for me

It was an excellent mail day.

Today I bought the Hourglass ambient lighting powder in dim light, Urban Decay de-slick setting spray, a Tarte set of a mini lip tint and cheek stain both in the color energy, Clinique acne solutions clearing gel, Bobby Brown blush in pale pink, and the new St. Tropez 500 point perk /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I saw that Tarte set on Sephora.com yesterday and was so tempted to buy it! Let me know how you like it.

The hourglass ambient lighting powder looks amazing to me. I am just afraid I wouldn't know what to do with it or how to apply it

Target beauty box finally came! Hallelujah. The mascara and dry shampoo look amazing.

I love, love, love that dry shampoo.  I really hope that line (Herbal Essences Naked) sticks around and doesn't get discontinued right away.

My Sally didn't have the clearance polishes BOGO, just the full price ones, but I still got the clearance onces for like 1.50$ so I'm not complaining.

I'm a ChinaGlaze addict, so if the 3 colors you have aren't colors I have, I'd love to trade you for something if you decide you want to trade! My trade list is in my signature, I'll actually have more items added around 9pm central time too.

The ones I might trade were Orly actually...Starburst, Milky Way, and Macabre Masquarade.  For some reason I'm just not a huge fan of them after I swatched them.

I got the Tarte energy set today too.  I also got the Tarte bright by night set.  They are both so tiny, but the minis are always so cute and a nice way to try these out.  I also got in this Sephora order Bronze Buffer self-tan removers.  Has anyone tried these?  Oh well, worth a try when my knees & elbows look all wonky with self tanner.

Here's a photo (my samples are bigger than my purchases. lol):

I went on a bit of a buying spree lately, I am going on a no-buy now.  But anyway I got some great deals of stuff and I couldn't pass it up.

Target Beauty Box, $4.95:  Contains a sample of Jergens BB skin cream, Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo, Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt Spray (love these in the summer!), Cover Girl Smoochies sizzle gloss in Date Night (this is pure chunky glitter in a clear base...I need to gift this to my little niece or something!) and L'Oreal Lash Out Butterfly Mascara (tried this and love it!  length and definition, no clumps)  

From eBay $33 shipped: Urban Decay Naked Gloss in Freestyle and Rule 34, Revolution Lipstick in Rush.  Love all of these colors and formulas.

From eBay, $31 shipped: Urban Decay Shattered face case with foundation sample.  (5 eyeshadows, 2 blushes, 1 highlighter, 1 lip color, 1 mini eyeliner.  Need this for my purse since I'm always on the go and am sick of hauling everything separate!)

From TJ Maxx for $14.99: OPI Euro Centrale collection with pink, teal, dark purple, and a fun glitter polish.

And then my Sally's haul...that's all the Orly, Finger Paints, and Seche Vite polishes on the right.

Great job!  I have Naked 3 and love it.  At first I wasn't sure about it because they are very muted shades and I'm used to UD being so in-your-face but now I love it for a soft daytime look.  I also have Naked 1 and Naked 2 and my favorite would be either 2 or 3 depending on my mood.

Usually I use the Orly rubberized base coat so this is new territory for me!  It's only been one day but so far so good - no chips or peeling, and I even opened my new UD face case with my thumb nail which usually would chip.  

I have a really tame light peach on my nails right now and will probably take it off in a day or two - I crave color but I have work meetings every day this week until Wednesday, so after that I'll do something fun.  So this base and top coat have two more days in my trial run!

Jealous of that OPI set!

I went to Walgreens yesterday... Got the Rimmel Stay Matte primer on clearance (3.49) and then I had a $1 coupon. Also got a Rimmel Kate lipstick in 109. Sale for $3, coupon for $1. Wet n Wild nail polishes were .69 so I got three with coupons from @usofjessamerica (thanks so much!) and ended up making thirty cents off of each. Spent $5.55 with tax, saved $11. Works for me!

I've tried those! They work really well at first, but I'm confused if I'm supposed to cut off the dirty parts or not. Sounds weird, but you'll probably understand once you use them haha

Marshalls had Seche polishes.  I have not seen them anywhere before.  I grabbed a few to try them out.  Left to right we have Delicate, Distinguished, Precocious, Scorchin' Hot, Inspiration and Succulent.  The gray, hot pink and coral shades have shimmer in them the other 3 are just cremes.  They were $1.99 each.  I also got Hard Candy Cotton Candy Pink for $2.00 on clearance at Walmart and a bottle of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Grape Going! which is not the same formula as the bottle I have at home.
