It's Never Too Late? Right?!?

Eek! DOn't you hate it when you realize you forgot to do soemthing that you really needed to do? I went through one of those when I come up in the middle of the night and realized that I never posted my April Haul! I haven't posted any in a while actually, so in the next short while there's going to be a couple! Yay- if you like them of course- if not, ou have my permission to not read them :) In total, I bought 18 polishes, though 5 of them were free. And knowing me, everything else was pretty cheap. With that said, lets take a look!

I went out to Square One for a free tube of Clinique mascara from the Sephora, and left with a couple of goodies. None of the Icing minis have names, but four out of the five have different kinds of heart glitter, so for $2 all together I couldn't say no. Right? I'm a sucker for cute shaped glitter, Or any glitter, in general... At Sephora I got a Hello Kitty nail polish in Blueberry (because I love blue and am a crazy cat lady), and a Sephora+Pantone in Rose Gold. They were both an additional 15% off, so they came out to just over $6 together. Woot!

I know how I've been having some issues with China Glaze's interactions with some bloggers, but yet I own two more. It' s become harder and harder to actually find companies that are cruelty free and have great track records all arund, so I think I'm just going to have to start picking my battles. I've heard about so many people having great PR interactions with China Glaze, so I think I'll stick with them, for now at least. Plus, Victoria is obsessed with Josh Ramsay, so since Sally's was having a B2G1 free, I gave her a Mosiac Madness that matched Josh's hair. They came out to $4.80 all together. The OPI suede was $4.99 at Winners and the three Oz shades I won from a raffle at a beauty supply store. From left to right, Mosiac Madness, Glitz N' Pieces, What Wizardy Is This?, Don't Burst My Bubble!, Lights of Emera City and Ink Suede.

Finally, here are the Mish Mash purchases of April. I grabbed them from here and there. The NOPI in Top Of My World was $5.99, Beyond was the same price as well. The two Juleps, Debra and Leila, were a gift and Essence Shopping @ Portobello Road was $1.99.

Thanks for tuning in! I'd love to get a comment about what you'vev gotten recently. Anything good?

March Haul!

Middle of April? Yep, I should probably put up my monthly haul for March...
LOL. Hello lovelies! How have you been? It is freezing here. I'm not even kidding! We should not have snow on the ground in April...
Anyways, here is my March haul. I got a bunch of gorgeous polishes, especially the ones on my super crazy lemming list! I've almost completed my collection of the very elusive Color Club Scentsuos collection! Three are in my helmer, one's on the way and I only need two more! Yay!
Also, many of these were an amazing price, so yay! I am definitely going to be slowing down though, I'm going to try to buy only ones on my wish list, or possibly ones that are super crazy cheap, and try to use some of these.
Anyways, enough said! Onto the polish :D

I must say, I was very disappointed with China Glaze's behaviour towards a couple nail bloggers, including my beloved Vampy Varnish. I love China Glaze though, so while I'm trying not to buy them I don't think it's going to be a quick easy quit. So I'm slowing down and eventually going to stop, LOL. I got these for about a dollar each in the Ombre kit in Wait Teal You See. Pictured are White On White, Aquadelic, For Audrey, and Turned Up Turquoise, which I cannot get an accurate picture of...

Next up are a couple random things. I got the Zoya Jellies collection from Winners for about $10. I've wanted to try these so I'm happy. I also got It's Totally Fort Worth It, and Big Hair... Big Nails from OPI's Texas Collection. These were BOGO, so I couldn't resist. Finally is a bottle of Essence's Chic Reloaded. I love Essence, and despite how I despise of their new bottles, I couldn`t bare to leave a spectacular $2 multichrome at the store.

An amazing package from Sammi, all the way over in Australia. I had a secret Valentine`s Day swap, and could not have gotten a better partner. Such a great mistake since we both had different partners originally, which is why this is a month late. Do you see all the gorgeous?!?! I can`t tell you what I got her, but I hope she enjoys hers half as much as me!
Here`s Picture Polish Mask-A-Rade, Ozotic 503, Ulta3 Jelly,  New Years Eve, Luck Of The Irish and Citrus. Finally pictured is Australis Spectacular.

Here`s the cherry on top of March! I was so happy to be able to get these from Bee. I was literally screaming with joy when I found these. We`ve had some minor troubles with her package, hopefully all is sorted out soon. But look at these! Pure scented gorgeous-ness :D And she added in an Essence! Happy squee! Here are Essence Ultimate Pink, Color Club Sugar Plum Yum and Gingerbread Man.

Thanks for tagging along with me this month! Did you get any lemmings? If so, tell below!

January + February Haul!!!

You know what time it is! That's right, the time where I show off all the casualties of my addiction. I did have a nobuy in February (that was successful, may I add), but I did receive a few polishes for my birthday, so it wasn't a polish-less month :P January was a pretty big month, I got a bunch. But majority of these polishes came from two blog sales, so I wasn't that bad ;)
Anyways, I am way too good at pointless gab. Let's get to the polish, don't we?

Here is the Miscellaneous stuff from January. I already blogged about the green Zoya; Mitzi, which I grabbed from Trade Secrets for $5. Being the Julep addict I am, I had to get three more. I'm not as bad as you think though! I won Kathleen, Chelsea and Viola (clockwise from top left) from a giveaway :) I've been saving up my Jules for a full nail wardrobe one month, so the Juleps should -in theory- slow down for a little bit. Lastly are these two Ruby Wings in Birdie and Wildflower I got from Winners for a dollar each. Yes! You heard that right! Only two bucks for the both of them :D They aren't too different, but I've wanted these forever and they were such a steal that I couldn't pass them up.

 

One of my blog sale swap hauls. I swapped with Amanda from Fashion Footing for these babies. Sadly, her blog sale is finished, but she had 6 polishes for $22 shipped! That's like the price of the Illamasqua alone! I went a little over the budget for her stuff (oops!) but she gave me the OPI mini set as only one polish, and added in the Revlon for nothing, so it was so worth it :D From right to left here's OPI Number One Nemesis, Essie Wicked, Revlon Pineapple Fizz, Sephora By OPI Matte Top Coat, OPI Stranger Tides, OPI Just Spotted The Lizard, Illamasqua Gamma, OPI Into The Night, and Sally Hansen HD Byte. Whoo, that was a mouthful! What a great deal though, huh? It was more than I wanted to buy/spend, but can you blame me for jumping on this deal?

Now is a couple of things from Ashley's blog sale (she has taken a indefinite hiatus, but she's an awesome blogger so I hope she's back soon!). I swapped these from her, and am super happy considering I got two huge lemmings, Electric Eel and Kiss Me Mistletoe, along with a bunch of other wants! Can you say yay?!?! I sure can :D Here are Electric Eel by OPI, GR8 by China Glaze, Kiss Me Mistletoe by China Glaze, Pull Me Close by China Glaze, and Chunky Holo Black and Twinkly Love, both by Kleancolor.

Finally, the goodies from my lovely birthday! Me and a couple friends acted much younger than we should, and spent a day at Playdium. I'm so happy I got the two OPI Liquid Sands, I put out many, many hints about them and was thrilled when I saw them. I also must add that the blue Physician's Formula is a jelly! Win! Anyways, here are OPI Stay The Night and Get Your Number, Sephora+Pantone Universe Reflecting Pond, A.Co Ultra Party, and Physician's Formula Fashion Icon
Set (they don't have individual names, sorry!).

Wow! That was way more than I thought I had grabbed! Oops! But it isn't too bad when you think of it. It is 30 polishes, but spread over two months. Plus... I really only bought three, and two of those were a dollar each. Justified! LOL, spoken in the true words of an addict :P
Also, sorry it's such a long post! Cheers to you if you read to the end!
So, what did you get this month? Do you ever go on Nobuys? Are you successful with them?

Haulage Time!

EDIT: Sorry for the messed up pictures!

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great Christmas! Blue definitely enjoyed all the leftover turkey :)
Anyways, I thought I'd do a nice big haul post, because who doesn't love those? I've had some requests for them, so I'd show you one of all my new-ish polishes. I didn't end up getting any polishes for Christmas, but thats what Christmas money I for right? I'll show all the goodies first and then closer pics and all the polishes names. Just don't judge, I know I went crazy, and sense a no-buy in my future, right after all the swappies I'm doing. And my no-buys are usually always successful, so I'll have lots of polish to swatch while I'm not buying any :)

Here's a swap I did a while ago with Lindsey from Lindsey's Lacquer. I love her so much for adding a little extra bottle, that's the first time anyone's done that for me and it makes me feel all warm a nice inside! Thank you Lindsey :)
Left to right: Color Club Revvvolution, Sephora Moody Woman, Essence Walk On Air, Wet N' Wild Party Of Five Glitters.

I recently picked up some goodies at Sally's. They had the extra 50% off clearance items, which I combined with a $10 off $20 coupon. I managed to get a set of nail wheels, China Glaze's Magnetix ii magnet and 7 polishes for just over $10. Score! Here's the Color Club mini Winter Affair set I grabbed, it comes with Berry and Bright, Ho-Ho-Holly, Gift of Sparkle and Snow-Flakes.

The rest of my Sally's haul: Orly Sashay My Way, and two China Glaze Magnetix polishes, Bond-tastic and Gold Fusion.

 

 

Lots and lots of Juleps! After feeling sad about skipping so many months, I went crazy! Here is Julep Harper, Minka, Hailee, Vivien (which actually came cracked down the back, so I super quickly took a pic and got rid of the gloopy, oozing mess), Sofia, Ivy, and Brit. I'm very happy with these, I got them all very cheaply and have everything from glitters to suedes to duochromes and glow in the darks! I ended up getting the peaceful trio because I didn't get the suedes last month because there was no choice to get three polishes (you got 2 and a topcoat or a cream). But these were cheaper, so yay!

Last but not least, my shopper's had a bunch of old bottles Essence's on sale, so I helped myself, here is Glamourous Life, Walking On Sunshine, A Lovely Secret, Space Queen, and Nude It!

I forgot to picture the last ones, Color Club Angel Kiss from a discount beauty supply shop, a set of 5 mini scented glitters from Claire's and a bottle of Nails Inc Notting Hill Carnival (a lovely yellow creme) which I got from Sephora for 5 bucks.
