Stella Chroma September Polish Pick Up Exclusives: Follow the Teachings & Glazed Donuts

Evening friends!  I have been leery to say its Fall but it really feels like it is (which is bad for me since I still have 1 Summer collection to post DOH!).  But I'm not here to talk about that today.  I'm here to talk about Polish Pickup!  I think you know already, but the September theme is Horror Movies! YAS!  I've got the Stella Chroma polish to share with you now and it is a major stunner!  Inspired by the British movie To the Devil A Daughter.  I haven't seen this movie but it sounds like a creepier version of Rosemary's Baby so I'm going to have to watch it during October Horror Movie month!  Follow the Teachings will be available from 9/7 - 9/10 for $12 with no cap.  Stella Chroma will also have another amazing Emulsified Sugar Scrub for you scrub addicts out there!  It's called Glazed Donut and you can pick it up during the same sale time for $5.50.  Let's go ahead and see what we've got here!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel; Sunset Splash Collection

Good morning!  Look at me, 2 posts in a row.  Who am I?  Haha.  Well I have some gorgeous drugstore polishes to share with you today and you know what, I totally dig them all.  But what I dig most is that they are so easily accessible.  I used to drugstore polish shop very frequently, but my kids schedules took over my life and I spend a lot of time at the schools so that kind of killed that fun outing for me.  But it doesn't mean you can enjoy perusing the aisles of Walgreens, Rite Aid, CVS or even Target to see what types of polishes they have on the shelves!  Aside from appreciating the ease of shopping for Sally Hansen Miracle Gel, I also like that you can coupon and save money on them most of the time.  Even if not you aren't breaking the bank with a huge price tag.  The Sunset Splash Collection consists of 6 shades that are absolutely perfect for the end of Summer, start of Fall!  Let's jump in and see what Sally has in store for us!

Evening friends!  Hope your Thursday was spiffy!  My kids are officially all back in school and I took the opportunity to grab coffee with friends and shop for new clothes for my rapidly growing baby belly.  Then I realized I have failed on sharing this awesome Polish of the Month available over at Alter Ego.  Cynthia is going to have new monthly polishes along with her contributions to already existing groups such as PPU.  I have to say that if the August polish is any indication of what's to come I am excited!  Space Octopus is a fun polish with a funny name!  This is an LE polish so once it runs out it's gone.  You can still purchase Space Octopus now for $9.50!  Let's check out this awesome polish.

Afternoon all!  I'm playing nurse today to one sick pre-teen.  He ended up with a horrible headache last night that hasn't gone away, but a quick trip to the doctor's office this morning gave us a virus diagnosis so poor guy will just have to ride it out.  Bummer, last few days of Summer and he ended up sick.  No idea where he picked it up though, I'm putting my money on one of his soccer teammates.  Fingers crossed it's just a 24 hour type thing and that he doesn't pass it on to me.  Anywho, that's not why I'm here.  I'm here to show you this post featuring some gorgeous new polish from Lollipop Posse Lacquer!  Guys, Karen has literally been blowing me away with her creations, they are seriously swoon worthy!  This post features 2 new Year of Tarot shades and the August 2018 LE.  Let me just emphasize that the August LE will only be available until it runs out so if you like that one jump on it!  All 3 will be available on 8/17 at 8pm EDT for $12/$11.  At the same time there will also be a Back to School event which will have newly discontinued shades, clearance shades, a restock of some sold out polishes AND a free gift with every purchase!!  Karen knows how to do a sale!  So you have lots of info in your brain now, time to relax and enjoy pictures!  Let's jump in!

Evening friends!  I'm rushing around getting dinner ready early and rushing out the door to take the boys to soccer practice.  School isn't in started and I'm back to the taxi mom grind, boo hoo.  But I'd rather they stay busy and active than sit at home and stare at video games and the tv so I can't complain.  Ok, so it's almost time for the HHC to open up again, yay!  I have the next installment of the Stella Chroma Queens of Westeros collection to show you tonight.  This is Queen of the North and it's a tribute to Talisa Stark.  You'll be able to purchase Queen of the North from 8/14 - 8/21 for $12.  Let's jump in!

Beauty Review: Pirette Fragrance Oil

Morning beauties!  When I go on vacation I like to shop.  It's fun to find little things that will remind me of the trip and specific places once I get home.  I got to enjoy a few date nights alone with my husband this vacation and we perused a store while waiting on reservations one night, I came across this interesting little perfume oil.  I didn't think much of it, other than the simple packaging appealed to me.  But when I smelled it I knew I had to have it.  I tend to be drawn toward easy fragrances, simple, nothing overwhelming.  This fit all those bills and just smells like Summer.  I want to wear it all the time and hang on to the Summer memories, hot days, pool trips, beach visits.  Pirette is a brand that was actually created in Newport Beach, CA.  So not a Hawaiian brand, but still a beach brand!  And I'm happy to be supporting a California brand.  So let's jump in and check it out.
