Limited Edition collections everywhere I turn!

The ladies who work at my local drugstores must think I'm nuts--lurking around the makeup displays snapping pic after pic on my cell--but I happily make such a spectacle of myself to bring YOU, dear readers, the scoop! :) (lol me? an inflated sense of self importance? nahhhh...)

I scoped SO many new Limited Edition displays at my Walgreens. Ostensibly, I was there to buy orange juice for my sick husband--hey, I couldn't help it if I had to walk thru the makeup aisle to get to the beverage section! (Ok, I admit, that's total crap. The beverages are on the opposite side of the store & I took the scenic route to get to them)...

Here's just a few of the displays that caught my eye: (click pics to biggify!)

Yay for new limited edition smelly polish from Revlon! I got Lemon Meringue--cuz I need another pastel yellow like I need a hole in my head (I am SO obsessed with that color right now!)

BIG @$$ Sally Hansen end cap display. Look at all the LE goodness there is to be had! Let's break this mama down:

OOOOH, AHHHH Insta-Dri brights and neons!

LE Runway Complete Salon Manicure pretties. There's a gorgeous pastel yellow in this one too but I was strong enough to resist it (this time). The other shade that caught my eye here was a gorgeous blackened olive green shimmer aptly named Olive Branch...

Limited Edition Salon Strips. I'll be honest, none of the patterns called out to me. Plus, I'm not a salon strips kinda girl. I love the act of painting my nails too much for strips (yea I'm a freak I know).

Salon Strips for feet!! And LOOK! HOUNDSTOOTH! One of my favorite patterns!

And last but not least, new summer 2012 L'Oreal stuff featuring 3 new shades of Infallible shadows!! (that first shade on the left is Golden Sage--which  has already been around since these first hit the market here in the USA)...now I heard these were LE but I'm noticing there are numbers that go with the names...now I don't know if these are LE or not. Usually when products are LE, they don't get numbers that go with their names but these all have numbers...hoping they're core cuz I'm dying for new shades of those gorgeous Infallible shadows (LOVE those things!!)...

Also, I saw the new Revlon Gucci Westman stuff. I failed to get a pic of that display (totally thought I had but nada for it on my phone). You can get a good look at it here on Nouveaucheap....see that pretty teal polish second from the left? It's called Sheer Seafoam--I snatched it up as soon as I saw it--can anyone say Tealicious jelly sandwich mani?? nomnomnom

Now I just need more money so I can go buy it all!! If you decide you need to scoop some of these up, be sure to check the weekly drugstore beauty sales roundup over at Nouveaucheap!

total bummer: My Wet N Wild Flora and Fauna collection swatches came out all jacked up!

Yep, I managed to snag both  LE Wet N Wild spring makeup sets (for ONCE, my Walgreens had somthing LE!!). If you haven't heard about these yet, they are 2 sets of Wet N Wild cosmetics that come with a tube lipgloss, an eyeshadow trio, a blush and a bottle of Fast Dry nail polish. Here's a pic of the sets for reference:

Flora--a collecton of warm shades

Fauna--a cool shade collection (no pun intended)

I swatched and photographed everything but all the photos came out completely washed out cuz I was dumb enough to snap pics in full mid-day unfiltered sun. Oh well--lesson learned. I will reswatch and rephotograph soon, I promise! Just a few words til then:

 Both the eyeshadow trios are exclusive to this collection--and I confess I got these sets for the shadows alone cuz I'm a total WnW shadow freak. These shades live up to the hype and are the typical buttery, gorgeously pigmented awesomeness I have come to expect from Wet N Wild.  , Also,  the nail color in the Fauna color is the core Teal or no Teal, but the polish in the Flora collection is NOT a repackaged core collection polish. It's called Twining Vines and it's a gorgeous shimmering gold/green that looks JUST like the LE Summer 2011 Ocean Grotto shade from the Mermaid's Cove collection (which I never managed to track down because--like I mentioned--my local Walgreens usually blows when it comes to LE Wet N Wild releases)...

so consider this post a default teaser post...promise to get swatches up ASAP!

Just spotted a Limited Edition L'Oreal polish display at Walgreens

Quick cell pic & post. I'm in the middle of Walgreens right now and I just spotted this LA Entourage L'Oreal display. Note the words "limited edition." Oh how those words make my polish-loving heart skip a beat. Has anyone else seen this? I'm kind of digging the yellow shade called 'Tweet Me.' It's got some interesting shimmer in it! The orange shade looks fun too...
