Buy 3 Get 3 Free Haul from Zoya!

I love nail polish and when a nail polish sale comes around and the words FREE are in the title, I listen a little closer.  Such as the Zoya Buy 3 Get 3 for Free sale.  Announced on Twitter one morning, I pounced!  This is not my first experience with Zoya, as I actually won 1 polish from a Facebook promo and a few days after I received this Haul, I won a Twitter contest too! I was very impressed by the quality of the polish that I won and couldn't wait to add more to my collection.

See my review of Ibiza here!

This time I treated myself to: 

Getting Your Money's Worth

I didn't give it a second thought when I cut the top of my body scrub off in order to expose the inside, where a lot of the product was hiding.  Credit to my boyfriend for suggesting this blog post!  I cut it in 2 stages.  First I cut off the end, or is that the top & use my finger to get scrub.  Initially, I don't cut lower, to protect the large opening from collecting shower water & diluting the remaining scrub.

Once my fingers have cleaned off the sides of the tube, I cut it lower, usually the lower 1/3, to expose more and more product.  Seems silly I know, but I had 6 more uses from the product most people would have tossed out.  #PennyPincher.

I don't mind if I do, Light Blue!

Tricked again by Sephora *giggle* I spent $35 in order to receive a free bottle of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. I saw the picture and description, knowing it was a spray I assumed it would be a small size.  I sort of assumed wrong.  This is what I would consider a pretty high class gift!  The glass vessel is a total of 5" long and contains .25 fluid ounces of Eau de Toilette and I do not believe *struggles to take it apart* that it is refillable.  Which is a shame.  I absolutely love this for an on the go touch-up as I have used Light Blue as my signature fragrance for 10 years.  Thank you Sephora & D&G for this awesome GWP!

A Lil' Bellbottom Blues Bling

I had no idea this  was going to dry and look like liquid metal; I though it would be light blue with a silver frost.  Described as "a mixture of deep, midnight and electric blues," I think it is more simple than that.

It's '70's faded denim.  Fun and sexy.  Just like the rest of the MyFace Cosmetics products that I have been able to try.

I start off with one coat of Essie First Base, I allow it to dry for 2 minutes and apply one coat of Bellbottom Blues.  I notice the polish is a bit thicker than OPI I usually use but that's ok, I work carefully and slowly starting the application in the center of my nail, spreading the polish outward.  Immediately I see brush strokes and try to smooth them out but as I go back over the just painted area, I start to pull polish off of the nail in streaks.  This happens on every nail.  I don't panic.  I wait to see what result coat 2 brings.  And it brings success.  Admittingly I apply more polish than I normally would because it is unusually thick but it dries as clean as glass.

The 3 Little Bears by Too Faced

 

I have been asking the makeups Gods for more TeddyBuki brushes from Too Faced for a few years now and my prayers have been finally been answered!  haha!

As a Beauty Blogger, I am embarrassed to admit that I had no idea these brushes were available until I was spending a Gift Card at Sephora.  I guess I thought I would see a lot of celebration on the social media circuit but I remember none.

Retailing for $39 this three piece set contains:

• Liner / Smudger

• Crease/Blender

• Lid/Smoker
