[Lumaday]

So here's my ridiculous amount of nail polish from the last week and I'm officially on a no-buy.  It's been good to get my collection rounded out though because I was lacking a lot of colors!

Zoya Peter Som trio (bought on eBay) with Alexa, Edie, and Cole.  Zoya Remove + and Qtica Sugar Scrub came free with my Zoya order.

Polishes in order:  

Rue, Kendal, Kennedy, Godiva, Kieko, Charisma, Mira, Lotus.  Next to that the group of 3 (free with an order over $50) are Codie, Ray, and Anne which were surprises.

Next row: Kylie2, Heidi, Maya, Payton, Aurora, Storm, NYX, Catilin.  Then OPI 4 In The Morning, I Sing in Color, and Orly Basket Case (from Sally's).

Finally: Brigitte, Zanna, Sailor, Natty, Giovanna, Zuza, Wednesday, Bevin.  Then from a trade is Fab.Fit.Fun Fuschia, Essie Muchi Muchi, and Orly Argan Oil Cuticle Drops.

From Sally's I had a get $5 off $25 or more so I picked up color swatching wheels, a nail whitening bath packet, the two OPI's for $2 each, polish thinner, and 2 bottles of Seche Vite top coat which were on sale for $6 each.  I also swapped Orly Flawless Flush for the Basket Case because the FF formula was terrible. So all in all, I'm completely set on mani supplies for a very long time.

Ok, I blame Ipsy for getting me addicted to Pacifica lol But, in my defense, it is my birthday month so I had $10 towards the order + the 15% off for Earth Day... That makes it ok right? lol

*Island Vanilla Soy Candle 3 OZ

*Waikiki Pikake Soy Candle 3 OZ

*Spanish Amber Soy Candle 3 OZ

*Waikiki Pikake Body Butter Tube, 8 OZ

*Island Vanilla Solid Perfume 0.1 OZ Sample

*Color Quench Lip Tint (Guava Berry)

I LOVE the Waikiki Pikake scent! Island Vanilla is my favorite, but you can buy that at Ulta now so I figured I'd stock up on more Waikiki Pikake =)

O and ended up disliking the Spanish Amber candle scent... I thought I'd like the smell from the description and reviews but I just do not like it =( I'm going to use it in another part of my house regardless lol But I won't be ordering Spanish Amber again.

@@Stitchie of course you had to! And you got lovely things! The Waikiki Pikake is my favorite too. I dragged my hubby into Ulta today and had him smelling all the lotions, he was like "I would wear is Blood Orange stuff all the time if the guys at work wouldn't make fun of me" The poor thing! I might buy him a little tube to use at home, lol

@@Stitchie and @ what does the Waikiki Pikake smell like?  I've been contemplating buying that one for a while but never had a chance to sample it, but anything Hawaiian sounds amazing  :wub:

@@Flowerfish it's a jasmine-based scent, but tropical jasmine!  It's kind of hard to describe, honestly.  But it's a very rich, summery floral, and I can still smell it on my skin HOURS after I apply it!

Yesterday I got Rimmel London Stay Blushed in: Pop of Pink, Sunkissed Cherry and Apricot Glow ($2.67 each at Walmart!!!!) and a Flower by Drew Barrymore nail polish in May Flowers (or something like that, it's a pretty cool/blue toned pink)

Recently for the Zoya exchange I got: Gia (red), Parker (nude shimmer), Lo (hot pink), Dove (light gray), Lotus (shimmer/holo light purple), Zuza (green/blue), and Tinsley (pink/gold.)  

I would put pictures but I don't feel like making a third party account just for MuT pics..sorry!

Haha! He could totally rock the smaller tube, use it as a hand lotion. I feel that's one of the scents that a guy could wear just as well as a women!

The Pacifica packaging is so pretty!

It really is! Makes it that much harder to resist!

@@Stitchie and @ what does the Waikiki Pikake smell like?  I've been contemplating buying that one for a while but never had a chance to sample it, but anything Hawaiian sounds amazing  :wub:

As @ said, it's a take on Jasmine. The Pacifica site describes it as, "A homage to the lush wooded and flowered paradise of old world Hawaii, this hauntingly beautiful blend combines sweet Pikake - a delicate, exquisite jasmine flower native to Hawaii - with sensuous and velvety sandalwood."

But honestly, I received the Jasmine Demeter in my April Ipsy bag and was not a fan of that scent. I think it's because it was pure Jasmine, where as the Waikiki Pikake is so refreshing! I'm not usually a floral scent fan but this one is just the right balance of floral and woodsy lol

I gave it a shot after reading others' reviews on here and I'm so glad I did!

Today's Sephora haul

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip tars in Black Metal Dahlia, Stalker and Hoochie

 

[tulosai]

My Zoya Earth day order arrived Saturday! Still really struggling with pictures but I am wearing Zoya's Dream and I am so happy I finally own it! I should have nabbed it a long time ago.

I am less impressed with the Pixi Dust... they are cool, but very like Opi's liquid sands only WAY more chip-happy.  Usually the liquid sands stay on me for over a week no matter what I do, the Pixi Dust was chipped relatively badly in 3 days and chipped some within 24 hours

Sorry to hear that, i had about the same wear time with the pixie dust as the liquid sands.

Maybe it's just me? I am glad it worked for you... I was just really surprised because (while Zoya's not my favorite in general) I usually don't have unusual chipping issues with them...

On the plus side, the Dream continues to look great  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yay! Clinique haul!

I've been eyeing that purple pumps eyeshadow for my Elsa cosplay (the color shown there isn't the one I bought). I've also been needing a new basic eyeshadow brush since I lost my other one. Le sad.

So I spent about $40 on two products and got nine extras.

Squee! This online bonus bag of 7 items is why I chose to make a purchase. I wanted that eyeshadow, but I wasn't sure if I loved it $15 worth, but this bag made it worth it! It has an eyeshadow duo and lipstick! *drools* And you get to pick between two colors (violets and nudes)! Honestly, I can never have too many violets.

Today, I also discovered that they had a new deal. With a $35 purchase, you get two minis (the complimentary lipstick and eye cream in my order). I wasn't so interested in these. But then I was playing around with the code in the checkout and found that I got free shipping if I used it. Originally, my order was a few bucks shy of $35, so I swapped out some makeup remover for the brush. It was worth it for the two minis and the free shipping. I needed a brush and the bonus bag comes with a makeup remover anyway.

I am so excited! I paid $38.52, and there are 7 products in there that I can't wait to get! And 7 is my favorite number! (I'm not counting the two bonus anti-aging type products because I probably won't use them). Anyway, I like to do the math, and that comes out to about $5.50 for each product (mini or otherwise).

Wohoo!

I almost placed another Zoya order after my first one came.  I had Dream in my basket.  It looks sooo gorgeous.  After I got Payton, Storm, and Aurora in my first order the Holos just blew me away!  Aurora especially - the holo in that is just gorgeous.  Someday, I will get Dream but I felt really guilty about placing another Zoya order after my first huge one so I had to stop myself, ha!
