They had OPI polishes (and a few Nabi and Orly ones) for $3.75 or less! I saw 20+ shades on sale. <br /><br />And then when I checked out Forever 21 for the LA Girl polishes, they had bowls filled with ~10 shades at $2.80 each so get going if you want to grab a few, girlie! <br /><br />I seriously need some polish rehab.

Can't wait to see it! :)<br /><br />Shela: You totally called it, honey! If I want to add a pop of color to my eyes, my default shade is teal. Sometimes I'll use a kelly green (UD Mildew is one of my faves) but most of the time it's teal. lol. Glad we have that in common too! xo<br /><br />Mimsy: WHAAAAAT? Are you kidding me? Oooh, that is FANTASTIC! Thank you SO much for sharing! After that whole sephora code thing, I was starting to have regrets about not getting Metro Chic b/c soooo many people ordered it. Now I don't need to! YESSS!!! Thank you SO much for taking the time to share that! You ROCK!! (but I do agree--it's expensive for drugstore polish and I'd definitely wait for a BOGO if you can). I'm sorry you already bought Metro Chic but at least you can return it if you want, right? :)<br /><br />princess azure: I love CQ! In fact, I was just thinking about using my CQ in Shimmering Bark the other day.

I'm so into purples and greys at the moment. I just ordered Sephora by OPI in Metro Chic a few days ago, and I'm expecting it in the mail. And I just learned that SH Commander in Chic is a dupe for it, according to swatches I've seen online:<br />http://www.stephscloset.com/blog/beauty/2009/12/665/the-new-face-of-sally-hansen-salon/<br /><br />Don't you just hate that? You buy something, then find out you could've gotten a cheaper dupe. <br /><br />I still want the new SH polishes though, but I think I'll wait for a BOGO sale. They were $7.99 each at the CVS near me, which is kind of steep for a drugstore n/p in my opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562453235497810066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-58788654529734747592009-12-11T16:03:37.073-08:002009-12-11T16:03:37.073-08:00I want to try everything!

What more could I ask for, right? <br /><br />I'd want to buy one of the smokey shadow blast to throw in my backpack for a quick pick-me-up. All I need are my fingers and I'd be set. No brushes necessary!<br /><br />And R, is teal your favorite color? I've noticed that you pick a lot of pretty warm neutrals for eye products but for a burst of color, you almost always wear something turquoise or teal (which by the way is my fave.) <br /><br />=)Shelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17919718119433733696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-65063454671654867792009-12-11T15:21:19.904-08:002009-12-11T15:21:19.904-08:00I stopped by CVS yesterday and I saw these Physici...I stopped by CVS yesterday and I saw these Physicians Formula eye shadows that were really really colorful!

I have already bought some of the Sally Hansen polishes - I absolutely loved them. The two colors I bought were Gilty Pleasures (gold) and Pedal to the Metal (Silver). Both were a very intense, almost chrome, frost. The wear was fantastic and ultimately they did a great job for an all-in-one nail polish. I do want to pick up some of the creams, so I'll do that my next time around. <br /><br />As for the Milani, I am anxious to hear what you think. I instantly gravitated to those on your listing because of the sparkle. Hopefully they wear well, even if as an eyeliner? <br /><br />The Covergirl products look gorgeous too! <br /><br />Thank you so much - I think I found some stocking stuffers if my local CVS has these products in store! :)ShakeupYourMakeup!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08905357912828143562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-83243609363208005612009-12-11T01:33:01.873-08:002009-12-11T01:33:01.873-08:00Thanks so much for posting about these new product...Thanks so much for posting about these new products!!

I was not very impressed. It goes on as a very sheer gray with tons of glitter. It creases really easily, so after a while I had a big gray line in my crease. It also faded quickly. I don't wear it as an eyeshadow, but usually put some over black eyeliner. It works well for that, but not for an actual eyeshadow. <br /><br />I also received one of the Covergirl Smokey eye shadow sticks. I cannot remember the name of the color, but it was a lime-y green on one end, and copper on the other. I LOVE it! I would have never purchased that color for myself in the store since it's so unusual, but the first day I wore it, I got so many compliments.<br /><br />Those HiP shadows look really nice! I'll have to stop by CVS to take a look at them!Kieranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08488694243906334925noreply@blogger.com
