Lollipop Posse: The Study Set

Happy Saturday!  I've had a really great couple of days.  Yesterday I hosted a Friendsgiving get together and spent the afternoon with some of my beautiful friends.  It was fun times chatting, being silly and eating yummy food that everyone brought.  Plus it's just nice to hang out with them outside of sweaty workouts.  That night I went out with my besties for some ceramics painting fun (and more snacks and beverages).  As usual, we were the loudest, rowdiest moms up in the place.  Today was a soccer game in Monterey so we stayed for a delish seafood lunch and walked around Cannery Row.  Now before I shovel some oatmeal pumpkin cookies in my face I'm sharing this quickie post with you before all that goes down!  

Lollipop Posse has a few things going on for the upcoming Black Friday sale.  

A new trio, The Study Set.  3 gorgeous, shifty shades. These are going to be $12 each.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer; IEC 2019 LE Shades - The Best of the Best & The Worst of the Worst

Morning again!  Hope your Friday is running smoothly!  We had some school things to take care of yesterday but today we have 100% nothing to do.  Well I have nothing to do, but my son, who is in Advanced Math, hasn't finished his Summer math homework and only has 5 days of Summer left.  So you know that means we are sitting at home, he gets no mouse, no phone, no tv remote until he finishes it up.  I swear that kid is such a procrastinator.  Other than that I am happy to show you some polishes that will be at the Indie Expo Canada next weekend.  These are both from Lollipop Posse and are Limited Edition.  Whatever doesn't sell at the event will be up for grabs on the website at some point after.  The Best of the Best and The Worst of the Worst will be $13 CAD each.  And if you are thinking of making the trek to Toronto, the IEC is on 8/18 and you can still get tickets HERE.  Until then, keep your fingers crossed for an over-pour/extras announcement from Karen!

Lollipop Posse; Hella Handmade Creations, August 2019 - I Make Things Want Things

Good day to you.  And happy middle of the week.  Still on the back to school countdown.  1 week to go and Dobby is FREEEEEEE!  I think I am more nervous than excited this year because 2 of my kids are starting a new school.  I know they'll be fine though.  I changed schools a few times as a kid and my husband did a lot.  I mean A LOT.  And he was totally fine too.  Just my being a mom, hoping they make friends, have someone to sit with at lunch. So anyways, that's what I'm thinking about lately.   Let's talk polish though!  The HHC opens up soon and I have a stunning polish from Lollipop Posse to share with you.  This month Karen brings us I Make Things Want Things, inspired by Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels.  I don't know much about Sandman, but I know Neil Gaiman has been hot on the Fandom scene lately. I also know this polish is a hands down stunna!  You can purchase I Make Things Want Things from 8/14 - 8/21.  It will be $13, no cap.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer: Tour '73 Collection

Evening dears!  I have another post with Lollipops to share with you tonight!  These are releasing tomorrow so I didn't want to wait until the morning to share them, let's just do it now!  So this is the Tour '73 Collection, inspired by the movie Almost Famous.  I have seen this movie once and it was along time ago.  I know it has Kate Hudson as a groupie and a guy on a roof who yells "We're golden Gods!" before jumping in the pool.  That's about it.  What I do know is that I can vouch for the beauty of this collection.  A rainbow of colors with shimmers and flakes.  Definitely great for accenting your outfits at some Summer rock 'n roll concerts! The Tour '73 will be available individually, 5/10 for $10 - $12.  Let's jump in to the post!

January 2019 Polish Pickup & Indie Pickup, Mythology

Hello!  Happy New Year!  2019, I have big personal plans for you...getting my pre-baby body back, getting back to the fitness level I was at, back to the gym, better eating habits, decluttering my life, and basically just finding a family/self balance.  So what type of resolution(s) do you have for yourself?  

Since it's January, it means the new PPU an IPU is here! Both will be open from 1/4 - 1/7 and have loads of great stuff.  The theme for the month is Mythology.  I've always loved Mythology and it was one of my favorite topics in History classes.  But this month I am doing things differently, instead of individual posts for each polish or item I have to review I am going to put them all in 1 giant post.  I feel it will be easier for you to find and keep track of items you want to earmark for later.  Let me know in the comments if you prefer 1 big post or several individual posts.  

This is a pretty big post, lots of pictures...so grab your coffee and let's jump in!

Lollipop Posse Lacquer November Polish Pickup Exclusive: My Heart Is Like The Ocean

Evening friends!  I'm relaxing next to my injured child while watching my hubby make a temporary closet for the baby clothes to have a place to live.  If you weren't in the know, we are remodeling the house and went from a 3 bdr to a 1 bdr.  Things are tight, and will be even more so when the baby arrives!  But we are making due!  While I'm over here feeling cramped and out of room (both in home and in belly) I figured I'd drop another polish from the upcoming Polish Pickup for you to enjoy!  As I've mentioned before, the November PPU's theme is Badass Women and Lollipop Posse went with Tori Amos!  Now I don't know much about Tori, but my college roomie and BFF really liked her and I never could get in to her music after 4 years of listening to it (so much lamenting and melancholy tunes - you only changed my mind on The Cure, Elena!).  My Heart is Like the Ocean is specifically inspired by the song Take to the Sky.  Karen chose this song and musician because she was the inspiration for the first ever LPP collection!  $1 of each bottle purchased will be donated to RAINN, who Tori Amos was a spokesperson for.  You can learn more about RAINN here.  My Heart is Like the Ocean will be $12.50, no cap.  You can purchase it from 11/2 - 11/5.  Let's check it out!

Lollipop Posse Lacquer: September Year of Tarot - Death & September Single Pour LE - Fallen Woman in Dancing Costume

Guess what, I am not at a soccer game or soccer practice.  I'm at a volleyball game, HA!  I'm back with a couple Lollipops that I didn't share with my last post because I felt they deserved their own!  First off we have the newest addition to the Year of Tarot, Death.  Then there's the September Single Pour LE, Fallen Woman in Dancing Costume.  My understanding is that these will both be limited in supply, due to bottle issues.  so they may go into a pre-order if they sell out right away.  And of course the Single Pour is just that and when it's gone it's gone.  Both will be available this Friday 9/21 at 8pm EDT.  They will be $12 and $10. So you ready to jump in and check them out?  Let's do it!

Good evening friends!  How was your Sunday? I spent the morning on the soccer field trying not to stress myself out and go in to early labor. Mom of the goalie is not a fun cheerleading job!

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!

Lollipop Posse Lacquer; First Lines Collection

Good morning!  Hope you all had a fabulous 4th of July and celebrated with loved ones.  I spent the morning at a local race (yes, I am still plugging along at 20 weeks pregnant), then went to San Francisco with the fam for fresh seafood lunch.  Low key evening playing with sparklers, bbq and s'mores.  All in all, it was a chill day and I really enjoyed it.  But today is back to the grind, camp and taking care of the house, chores AND the blog!  Actually that all may take a back seat because I am hungry and a bagel sounds great.  So let's make this quick!  Lollipop Posse Lacquer will be releasing the brand new First Lines Collection.  This collection was inspired by the first lines in favorite literature.  I love the idea behind the collection and the shades themselves are gorgeous and unique!  The First Lines Collection will be available for pre-order starting 7/6 at noon EDT through 7/31.  Remaining stock will be available on 8/1 (but do you really want to chance it?).  Individual shades will be $12, the collection will be $60 shipped (inside the US until 7/31).  Ok, I think that's all the info I need to provide so let's check out the pretty polish!
