Birthday Haul Part 2!

Hello my dears!

I'm so excited to FINALLY share with you the rest of my gifts from my birthday group! I'm kind of sad that it is all over but at the same time I am having fun shopping for the other girls' birthdays. It was great having all these packages come in, especially since I have been limiting my purchases! Anyways, on to the loot!



Not the best picture, but you are looking at Dior Waterlily in that lovely silver box! I am still shocked that this baby made it's way to me! I would have been happy just with that, but I got a mini Zoya Noel, CANDY and a few other goodies!


Love all the bright colors in this one! Forgive me but I can't remember the names of these right now! The set in the back is Dippin Dots-I love the peach and the mint green! The other 3 colors are perfect for warm weather!


Love the Pooh card! Vintage Pooh is the best! Here we have Deborah Lippmann Don't Tell Mama and Kiko #255. OMG this purple scattered holo is amazing! Can't believe I had never heard of the brand before. Chuao chocolate is my favorite, and I can't get enough of coconut lime!


I can never have too many of those Reese's eggs! I love them out of the freezer! Revlon Rainforest, Julep Melissa, Sinful Colors Love Nails and Revlon Blue Mosaic! Beautiful colors!


More colors I have been wanting! OPI Green-which Village, Essie Turquoise & Caicos and OPI Cajun Shrimp! And now I really want a "B" notepad for myself! ;)


And my final package! Holy cow I am spoiled! Essence Let's Get Lost, Sinful Colors Fiji, Orly Galaxy Girl, Essence Turquoise & Caicos, Spoiled Jewelry Heist and NOPI Kendall on the Katwalk. And MORE candy! Oh and the best smelling lotions too!


Whew! After all this I never need to buy nail polish again! Lol, who am I kidding?! This addiction is not leaving me anytime soon. . .


Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

March Mini Haul: Swaps!

Hi loves!

Now you get to see the polishes I have added to my collection thanks to some swaps! I love how swapping allows me to get new polish without really spending any money, other than the cost to ship. And my unwanted polish also goes to a good home! In some cases it also gives me the opportunity to try brands that I don't have access to!


 Another fun little pile!

I have been so excited for March to get here, just so I could get my hands on this Sinful Colors flakie! A nice gal in one of my Facebook groups sent it to me a long with the OPI. I was too impatient to wait for it to be available at my local Walgreens...
OPI Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It and Green Ocean

 
I saw the Ludurana on a swap list and was excited to add a few others too! Can you tell I like purples? Almost as much as greens!

 Jade Metal, Supremo, Totally Cool, Wild Orchid

 
The Nail Files reached out for a swap, I was happy to find these 3 on her trade list! I wasn't immediately drawn to any of the colors from the Electropop Collectoin (except Gaga For Green) but I'm glad I finally picked these up! And the Barielle has been on my wish list!

Falling Star, Gothic Lolita and Aquadelic 


I had an international blogger reach out to me from Germany! This was my first international swap, I knew I wanted the Catrice but the other 2 were a surprise! I am definitely looking forward to more swaps in the future! (You can check out her awesome blog here)

Genius In The Bottle, Glorious Aquarius and Choose Me! 

 
I swapped for the Zoya from Jill, the lovely owner of Glisten & Glow! (If you love bath and body products or nail polish be sure to check out her site here!) And thanks to another international swap from a rad lady in the UK I got my hands on Fantasy Fire! I may have even got a backup bottle for a future giveaway. . . (;

Tallulah and Fantasy Fire

 
I'm pretty happy with all of these colors! The only one I decided not to keep is Jade Metal, only because I ended up with a dupe. I plan on doing more swapping vs buying, it saves me money and makes sure that I don't run out of storage space! Have you participated in any good swaps lately?

My 100 follower giveaway ended yesterday, I will be going through the entries this weekend and will announce a winner by Monday at the latest! I will also be posting my 200+ follower giveaway! (Um how am I already almost to 300?! 296?! What?!)

Have a great Saturday!
