Alter Ego October Indie Pickup Exclusive: My Own Worst Enemy Soap

Hey hey friends!  It's been almost a week since I posted, but I've been on a tight schedule with my kids this week and trying to get everything done and frankly I am just done.  I am worn out.  I am big and lumbering and waddling and aching and in pain every time the baby moves now.  4 weeks to go and I would be very happy if it was an early L&D.  Anyways, that does not excuse me from my commitments to my blog and the lovely makers who use me to showcase their products.  Let's start off with this fun soap that will be available during the Indie Pickup, which opens up tomorrow! So the theme for the IPU is the same as it was for the PPU, Villains.  Alter Ego went with Tyler Durden from Fight Club and also make a fabulous pink polish that matches the soap!  You can see my post for the polish HERE. The soap is called My Own Worst Enemy and is the iconic pink bar of soap from the movie.  It will be available from 10/19 - 10/22 for $7.  I am not sure of the cap on this one so pay attention if you really want this one!  Let's jump in to the post!

Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer October Polish Pickup Exclusive: Scarlet Flame

Evening!  It's been a busy Friday for me so this is the first chance I've had to sit down and get this last post up to share with you.  I spent the week prepping you for the opening of the Polish Pickup and that happened this morning.  Have you ordered yet?  If you have that's ok, you can place another order and get a refund on shipping.  I only say this because you will probably want to purchase this vampy beauty by Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer!  Scarlet Flame is a fabulous magnetic polish that was inspired by Smaug from The Hobbit.  You have the potion to purchase this with or without a magnet, but I suggest you get the magnet, it's one of the bar magnets that is very strong and works well.  You should probably act quickly though because even though Scarlet Flame is available until 10/8, there is a 175 bottle cap (100 without magnet for $13 or 75 with magnet for $15)!  Let's delve in to the post quickly so you can make some important life decisions!

KBShimmer October Polish Pickup Exclusive: Resting Witch Face

Evening!  Hopefully you had a great day!  I've been running around all night getting kids to games, practices and pick ups.  I actually jumped on the freeway headed home, on autopilot, and realized I completely forgot to pick someone up!  Oops!  Then I was late to pick up from the last practice and it was literally pitch black when I rolled up, sigh.  It's been a really busy day so I'm not being too hard on myself.  Ok so I am sneaking in with a quickie post for another fantastic Polish pickup shade that will be available tomorrow morning.  If this isn't on your wish list get it on there because it's one of the more unique thermals I have come across!  This is KBShimmer Resting Witch Face (the name alone would be good enough reason to buy it).  It was inspired by The Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz. This is such a classic movie and she is such a classic villain!  Christy nailed it with the color changes in this polish too! You can get Resting Witch Face from 10/5 - 10/8 for $11, no cap.  So let's check it out!
