Hey guys! I just got my package from Sally Beauty (I ordered online from here) and I'm so excited to try out all my new stuff! I'm so glad I decided to order when I did, because they were having a special on almost everything I bought! I ended up getting 6 (yes, six!) new polishes, some new tools, and a cute little wristlet! My order before all the discounts and coupons came to $38.75, and after all the deals, it was only $20.53 ! So without further ado, here's my haul!
For those you who would rather not read a long post, check out my haul video on my YouTube page:
First up: The Polishes!!
From left to right: Orly 'Bailamos', Finger Paints 'Sketch N Etch', Finger Paints 'Go Van Gogh', China Glaze 'Cha Cha Cha', China Glaze 'Hook and Line', China Glaze 'Mahogany Magic'
I really lucked out on the sales on polish! The Orly was on sale for $4.50, The Finger Paints were buy one get one free (the one was $4.49), and the last two China Glaze were both on clearance for $1.50--and there was a special 50% off red tag clearance sale so there were only 75 cents each!!
Now, the Finger Paints deal was not listed on the site. I went to RetailMeNot, my favorite place to find coupon codes, and I saw the deal they were running with a special coupon code. I had to take advantage of that! If you don't already, I would suggest searching for coupon codes for any purchase you make online, because you never know if you can save money! You'll be much more satisfied with your purchase if you got a great deal.
So I decided that the picture above doesn't really capture the true colors of the polishes, and I took one with flash that I feel definitely looks truer to the actual colors.
Much better. You can see the shimmer now.
Some close-ups of the colors:
Left: Orly's 'Bailamos', a turquoise with a greenish shimmer, right: Finger Paints 'Sketch N Etch', a forest green with an almost multicolored shimmer. It looks golden at first but if you look closely it almost looks holographic.
Left: Finger Paints 'Go Van Gogh', a bluish-teal cream finish, right: China Glaze's 'Cha Cha Cha', a medium green with a golden shimmer.
Left: China Glaze's 'Hook And Line', a silvery shimmery grey, right: China Glaze's 'Mahogany Magic', a beautiful brown (mahogany, honestly) cream finish. These two are from The Hunger Games Collection which has been out for quite a while and that's probably why they were so cheap!
On to the rest!
My first dotting tool! It's double sided with the other end being a detailing brush. The brand is "It's So Easy" Double Up Nail Art Brushes. I picked this up for $3.99 which I think is pretty cheap for a double sided tool. I'm excited to try this out and see what I can do with it!
Beauty Secrets Cuticle Remover/Pusher. I have really terrible cuticles and I've been looking for something to take care of them. I'm curious to see if this will work for me. It was only $2.29 so I figured, why not try it out?
I'm so excited to use these pointed cotton swabs to remove my excess polish when I do my next manicure. I hope they work better for me than regular cotton swabs do, because I always end up getting overzealous with the regular swab and either smudge the side of my polish or can't get close enough to get it all off. I'm hoping the point will help me out. These are Nail Tees, and the pack of 120 swabs was only $2.99. I also got a new bottle of pure acetone because I was running low. $1.79 on that one.
The cutest wristlet! It's black, blue, and pink snake print. Inside it has a zipper compartment and it's just big enough to hold my phone, a small cigarette case that I use to hold my cash and license when I go out, and some lip gloss and gum! Perfect for just the essentials. This was originally $16.99, on clearance for $7.99, and with the red tag 50% off, I got it for only $3.99! Super cute and affordable and I'll get a lot of use out of it!
On top of the Finger Paints BOGO and the red tag clearance, I also used a $5 off any purchase coupon I had, and just to see if I could, I tried to use another coupon code I found at RetailMeNot for $5 off $25 or more--and it worked! I wasn't sure if they would honor that because I'd already used a $5 off coupon, but they accepted it so there's some knowledge for ya!
They also sent me two more coupons for $5 off any purchase of $25 or more. They're always trying to get you to buy more, and it always works! I am so pleased with my purchases and I can't wait to try everything out...stay tuned for videos and photos of my experimenting!
Thanks for reading/watching! I'll see you guys soon!
