TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Burlington Coat Factory, Sephora, and indie haul!

I mentioned on Thursday that I went shopping and bought 19 polishes. I went to TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Burlington Coat Factory, and Sephora. I went back to Sephora the next day and came home with six new polishes. I also received an order from Pretty & Polished and Smitten polish about a week ago and a KBShimmer order on Friday. I figured it was no better time than to do a haul post!

TJ Maxx:

Barielle 5 pack with Swizzle Stick, Falling Star, Snow Day, Jordana's Skinny Jeans, and Out-Grey-Geous- $7.99. My huge lemming for Falling Star has officially been killed! I was incredibly excited to find it.

OPI 2 Pack with Stranger Tides and Skull and Glossbones- $7.99. Big lemmings killed with this pack!


Marshall's:

Orly Perfect Pair Pack with Go Deeper and Monster Mash- $6.99. There were so many awesome Orly packs to choose from but it was perfect that this one has the two FX glitters that I have been wanting the most.

Sation Nail Lacquer in Lollipop! Goes The Princess, Love Is In The Heir, and Chocolate Chip Resistant- $2.99 each. These are my first polishes from Sation, so I'm excited to try them.


OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener and an OPI bangle bracelet- $6.00. I saw this on my previous trip to Marshall's but I couldn't pass it up this time as it was on clearance and it was the last set. The bracelet it comes with is super cute! 


Burlington Coat Factory:

Color Club Halo Hues in Blue Heaven, Cloud Nine, Angel Kiss, and Cherubic- $3.98 each. I almost didn't go to Burlington but was so happy that I did. I was going to get these no matter the price but was shocked to find out that they were so cheap.


Sephora:

Sephora by OPI Looks Like Rain Dear, Mauve-ie Star In The Making, Traffic Stopper Copper, I'm With Brad, Just A Little Dangerous (totally forgot to get a picture of this one, sorry!), and It's Real 18k Gold Top Coat (x3)- $4.50 each. This brand is being discontinued, so I have been taking full advantage of it. These all come from three different Sephora's, at two different malls. One of the stores was in JCPenney's. Like I mentioned in my previous post, the It's Real 18k Gold Top Coat were also $4.50, originally $30.


Pretty & Polished:

Punk'd Up Betty, Boy Bleu, and Sand Art- $7.00 each, plus shipping. I've been wanting these polishes for the longest time and when I found out that they were going to be discontinued from the brand once sold out, I finally got them for myself. As of right now Sand Art and Boy Bleu are still in stock.

Smitten Polish:


Candy Kisses-9.00, plus shipping. This polish is so cute! I didn't think Noelie was creating this one anymore, so I had to get it when I saw it listed in her shop.


KBShimmer:

Proud Peacock and Sugar Plum Faerie- $8.75 each and The Peach Pit and Field of Greens- $5.00 each, plus shipping. Sugar Plum Faerie and Proud Peacock are core colors, but The Peach Pit and Field of Greens are from the recently released super special edition Misfits collection. They're actually sold out and won't be produced again.


So that's it for now! I don't feel incredibly guilty for these purchases, because most everything I bought was for a deal and in a way, I feel like it justifies my spending. I usually don't post prices in my haul, but I wanted to share my awesome deals with you! I have decided that I'm not going to be putting myself on a no buy, because it clearly does not work.

Indie Nail mail!

I finally caved and bought myself some indie polish that I've been wanting for a long time and others that I just bought on a whim. I am cringing over how much I have spent but the polish lover in me is very happy! Here is everything I got!

All That Glitters:
April Showers, I'm Sprung, and Spring Bling

Aphrodite Lacquers:
Inauspicious Stars, Story Of Woe, Two Star Crossed Lovers, and Violent Delights

Darling Diva:
Bitches Have Birthdays, Chandelle, Ringer, and Sakura

Llarowe:
Candeo Jellybean, Smitten Polish Glass Elevator, Hare Polish King Of Carat Flowers, Smitten Polish Pink Goes Good With Green, and Scofflaw Nail Varnish Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Pretty & Polished:
The King Of C-C-Cool and The Young Hero
Scofflaw Nail Varnish:
Flotsam & Jetsam

Windestine:
Crushed Rose In Spring, Pond Patrol, Rainy Day Blues, and Senescence (free polish with order)

So that's all of my nail mail I have for now! I cannot wait to start wearing them. I recently ordered five more polishes from Smitten and they're on the way to me as we speak. After those come, I'm not going to even try putting myself on a "no buy" but I am going to be a bit more cautious about my purchases. Wish me luck! I am officially indie obsessed.

Pretty & Polished Cheer Camp

Today I have the third and final Pretty & Polished that I got for Christmas. Cheer Camp is one that I wanted ever since seeing Kellie Gonzo's gorgeous swatch of it here.


It is a sheer milky base that is lightly tinted pink and has pastel pink and light purple hex glitters with tiny pink micro glitters. It's so soft, dreamy, and girly. I love it! It's a refreshing change from bright and dark polishes. The formula was really good. It was sheer on the first coat but I was able to reach opacity in three coats. It didn't dry gritty, so one coat of Gelous was enough to make my nails smooth.

 
I'm in love with Cheer Camp. It's gorgeous and unlike anything I have. Sadly, it too is discontinued from the brand, but it is still available for purchase until all bottles are gone, so if you've been wanting it, I would get it ASAP!

If you're interested in Cheer Camp you can find it here.

Pretty & Polished Party On My Yacht

I'm really excited for the polish that I have today! Pretty & Polished Party On My Yacht, is another indie that I got for Christmas.


Party On My Yacht is a white creme with green, purple, gold, and pink glitter and little blue bar glitters. The colors of the glitter go so great together. I like the addition of the bar glitter but I wish it would show up a little more. Next time, I will make sure to shake my bottle a bit.

The formula impressed me. It was easy to apply. I got great coverage in three coats. I might have applied coats that were a little too thick, so I will be sure to apply thinner coats when I wear it again.



I'm so in love with Party On My Yacht. I'm incredibly happy to cross it off my wishlist. Sadly, it looks like it is now discontinued from the brand, but I'm not sure why. All I know is that I'm going to cherish it!

Pretty & Polished Jawbreaker

For Christmas, I received indies that I've been wanting for a while now. Pretty & Polished Jawbreaker was one of them. It was one of the first indies that I had a big lemming for, so I'm very excited to have it.


Jawbreaker is a creamy white base loaded with blue, green, yellow, red, and purple glitter in various shapes and sizes. It's also a jelly sandwich without the need for a bunch of layers. I just love looking at it. It perfectly resembles the hard candy that it's named after.

The formula was really good. It wasn't streaky and it didn't give me any problems when applying. It has great glitter payoff but I was hoping for more of the red squares. A third might have given me some but I was happy at two coats.



I absolutely love Jawbreaker! I completely understand the hype surrounding it. I'm incredibly happy to have it in my stash and I recommend it to everyone.

Jawbreaker is available in a full size bottle for $9.
