Sally Beauty Haul & More

Hey dolls.  Here are some polishes that I had picked up this and last week:

I picked up three new nail treatments.  Two are from Orly and one from Poshe.  With the two Orly treatments, I got one free Orly polish!  I chose to get Night Owl as my freebie.

L-R:  Orly Primetime Chip Preventing Primer, Orly Nail Armor, Poshe Basecoat

 I also picked up Decades of Dysfunction because it was on clearance:

 Then, I got a couple of China Glazes.  (These are my first China Glazes ev-ar.)  I had to get Ruby Pumps.  Foie Gras was on clearance. 

Four more China Glazes that I picked up:

Lastly, I picked up a new nail filer and an orange stick.

 Some OPI's that I got when I took E to get his haircut at the salon:

 Yeap.  I broke down and bought Don't Touch My Tutu.  These were $6 each.

 At Target, I used my $3 off coupon which I received in the Beauty Bag this last Spring and got this pretty polish from Revlon for just .99 cents.

 So, my untried drawer that I had whittled away at has some new friends. :)

Sinful Colors-Leap Flog

Hey friends.  Here is what is on my nails today:

This is from Sinful Colors in Leap Flog, one of their newer colors.  I picked this up from the .99 cent sale from Walgreens. 

Leap Flog is a murky green creme.  I thought that I would like it more, but on the nails I changed my mind.  I only wore it for a day before taking it off. What do you think of Leap Flog?

Essie-Absolutely Shore

Hey dolls.  Here is what I am wearing on my nails for you all:

This is from Essie, in Absolutely Shore.  It is a beautiful minty creme.  I got this from TJ Maxx for only $3.99.

I did have trouble with the formula though.  It is rather streaky and uneven.  I had to do at least three coats to try and smooth everything out, and even Seche Vite couldn't take care of the leveling.  *sigh*  Maybe next time, I will have to try again with more careful application.  Did any of you have as much trouble as I did with this polish?  Regardless, I got several compliments while wearing it out and about.

 Love,

OPI-Step Right Up

Hello dolls.  Here is what I am wearing on my nails for you all:

This is from OPI, in Step Right Up.  I love palette cleansers like this.  Step Right Up was released with the Femme de Cirque Soft Shades collection back last year.  

It is sheer and jelly like, but definitely buildable in color depending on application.  I am wearing two rather thin coats on my pointer and middle finger and two thicker coats on my index and pinky fingers.  

Dry time is decent, but you know me, I can't wait so I slapped on one coat of Seche Vite so that I could go out for my jog.

Step Right Up also kind squishes my lemming for Don't Touch My Tutu from the NYC Ballet collection, though Step Right Up is slightly more pink than the milky white jelly in Don't Touch My Tutu.

July-Running on Empty

Hey dolls.  Here is what I ran out of in July:

Only eight products this month.  Mostly shower stuff.  

Tresemme Thermal Recovery Hair Conditioner 

 I pulled this out because I noticed that my ends were getting pretty frizzy.  Maybe time for a trim?  I can't say that I have noticed a drastic improvement but I would like to think that it's been helping. I have this in the shampoo too. 

Repurchase/Replace?  Replaced in my shower with a Pantene conditioner at the moment.

Suave Naturals Body Wash in Wild Cherry Blossom

 I use body washes more in the summer than in the colder months.  This one lathers really nicely and smells great, though the smell doesn't really linger after the shower.  It is cheap too. 

Repurchase/Replace?  I have more of these Suave body washes in my stash, but I replaced this one in my shower with my Ulta body wash that I got for free last year.

St. Ive's Apricot Scrub

 Yum.  I love this stuff.  I also keep this in my shower and use it every night.  I love how it exfoliates.  Those with sensitive skin might find this too harsh for them.  For me, it's perfect.  I use a dime-sized amount and after I scrub my face, I also make sure to exfoliate my neck and chest area with it too. 

Repurchase/Replace?  Yes!  I already purchased a back up and I have replaced it in my shower already.

 Proactive Solutions Revitalizing Toner

 I use this toner every night after I get out of the shower.  I add a little bit to a cotton pad and just wipe all over my face.  I like how gentle it is, even though the witch hazel in the toner puts me off a little.   

Repurchase/Replace?  I have a couple more bottles of this to go through yet, but I wanted to try my theBalm cucumber toner for a bit so I replaced it with that. 

ELF Makeup Mist &Set

 I bought this last summer and I only recently pulled it out again after purchasing my MAC Fix +.  I know that some beauty bloggers swear on their MAC Fix+, but I really didn't notice a difference.  Therefore I pulled out this ELF one to see how it compares.  At this point, I really don't know.  My skin is just too oily to really reap any benefits from either of these. 

Repurchase/Replace?  I'm not sure.  I don't really see how this benefits my makeup.   

L'Oreal Color Riche Balm in Caramel Comfort

  I have reviewed this lip color already here, so I'm not saying much more about it.  I had left it in my car so that I would have to use it as a lip balm over the winter and spring.   

Repurchase/Replace?  No. I am not a fan of the formula. 

CoverGirl Shadow Single in Mink

 You guys already know that I am a fan of this shadow.  I love it.  

Repurchase/Replace?  Yes, I had bought two backups of this last time Walgreens had a sale so I replaced it in my daily makeup bag already.

Urban Decay Primer Potion (depotted)

This is my UDPP which I depotted here.  It has unfortunately dried out on me, so I am tossing it out.

Repurchase/Replace?  Yes.  I have a good amount of these in my stash and they seriously last forever.  I did replace it with my $1 Elf Primer instead though in an effort to use that up first.

What did you run out of this month?  Do tell!
