Oops I hauled again...

broke out my charge card/ got lots of polish/ ooh baby baby...

Ok, enough horrible reworkings of already horrible pop songs.

So, um, yea. I went out looking for 1 polish and this happened:

(click pics to enlarge)

What the WHAT? I was only intending to buy the NYC Golden Glam polish (center polish on bottom row) from their new limited edition 'Summer in the City' collection....

but then I also found the new Sinful shades I read about on Nouveau Cheap , Leap Flog, Rain Storm, Ocean Side and a few 'new to me' shades, Lavender and a stunning glass fleck blue shade called Ciao Bella (gorgeous AND the name is Italian so I HAD to have it), so those ended up in my basket too).

..And when I turned the corner, I squeeled aloud as I finally laid eyes on the Diamond Strength Jewel overcoat polishes I've been hunting down forever (what took you so long, local Rite Aid?)...

 As if that weren't enough, I turned yet another corner and POW! BAM! I found these AMAZE-BAWLS brand new Limited Edition Sally Hansen Insta-dris. Check these out:

This one is called Purple Haste and it's got this gorgeous violet and blue micro-glitter in it. There was NO WAY that wasn't coming home with me. 

And THIS amazing galaxy-in-a-bottle is called In a Flurry. It is this forest green polish with tons of multi-colored micro-glitters in it. I spot blue, green, gold, purple...every time I look at it, I see another color. Oh hell to the yea....

I also swung by 5 Below and nabbed a few of the ever-present Funky Fingers neon crackles (aka, Color Club neon crackles but in a different shaped bottle and for a much cheaper price--thanks be to their parent company, Forsythe. I love when polish companies manufacture cheapie labels for cheapie stores and just re-use the same shades they market under their more expensive label. I guess they think we won't notice. They clearly underestimate the observational prowess of all the polish-hoarders out there...)...I didn't realize I wanted those crackles until I saw somebody post pics of them on an online polish message board. After that, they suddenly HAD to be mine.

Oh yea, I can't end this post without showing this off:

Pink lipstick-shaped lamp?!?!? I nearly fainted today in the middle of Target when I saw this...but then I collected myself and ninja grabby-handed that baby off the shelf, actively fighting the urge to say "my pweeeeciouuus" outloud as I snatched it up. It looks perfectly at home next to my light-up magnifying mirror. Yay for matching chrome finishes! Now if they only made a nail-polish shaped lamp to go with it, my life would be complete... 

Expect lots of pretties to drool over in the future!

Any recent hauls of shame you need to confess? 

Look what I found at Hot Topic...

Skull-shaped nail polish!!

How freakin awesome are these?! There part of a new line of cosmetics called Blackheart Beauty that was just launched. The blue one is large and small hex blue glitters in a clear base, the middle one is a large and small hex multi colored glitter (you're standard clown puke glitter a la Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday) and the one on the right is a...wait for it....FLAKIE!! Looks pretty dupey to OPI's I Lily Love you...anway, I'll be swatching these up ASAP...in the meantime, you can check out some of the other shades here. They have crackles & glow in the dark shades, too.

Nail polish in skulls...it just doesn't get any better than that!

just a quickie post to show off the exciting nail mail i just got!!

Yes I have been bitten by the indie polish bug. My very first etsy polishes just came. I'm expecting a few others but I couldn't wait to show these 3 off!!

From left to right:

Beauty School Drop Out by Aqua Daisy. (Black, white and holo glitters in an adorable cotton candy pink base)

Coda by Kunimitsu (black, white, red, silver and holo glitter in a black base)

the infamous Sneeze Breeze (it's finally mine!!) by The Hungry Asian (black and blue micro glitter)

Can't wait to swatch these babies!! It's really ridiculous to be this excited over nail polish, I know...

and as a bonus, thought I'd show off my awesome new spiked sandals since they also just came today:

got 'em at Forever 21 for 20 bucks.  And surprisingly, the spikes really are riveted into the straps and the veggie leather does NOT look plastic or cheap!  Holla for practical, ventilated but still punkagothalicious feet this summer lol

Look what just came in the mail!!

'scuse the crappy cell phone pic but I couldn't wait to announce the arrival of my Chromalust haul from Sugarpill's recent 2 year birthday sale!!

They're so cute in their little cubes, I kinda don't even wanna open them lol!

I got:

Lumi

Stella

Tipsy

Tiara

Goldilux

Asylum

Royal Sugar

Hysteric

Decora

Absinthe...

Stay tuned for further ogling--swatch post coming soon! :)

On-the-go haul post..

Out running errands & spotted a CVS I haven't been to yet....so of course I had to go inside & I came out with these. Among the pictured are:

-2 of the new Wet N Wild bronzers

-4 MORE of the Spoiled polishes (LOVING these)

- 2 of the new Wet N Wild Mega-last polishes

-2 shades from the new L'Oreal polish line

- Sinful Cinderella & Essie Armed & Ready (they are finally mine!)

-some Nicole by OPI (2 of the Kar-douche-ian polishes that I don't already have & 2 totally new shades I've never seen before, one of which has BAR glitter)...

-and last but NOT least is what looks like a true BLACK lipgloss (new from Rimmel)-I can't believe I found a black lipgloss in the drugstore in a month other than October!...

So anyway, stay tuned as I wade thru all my recent haulage! Will have the scoop on this very promising looking black gloss ASAP!

Hot holy haul post

So guess who woke up fever-free and feeling much better. Of course, in order to celebrate, I treated myself to a morning of crazy, epic, marathon haulage. Observe: 

Stop 1: Rite Aid, where I got the following:

NYC Blushable creme sticks in Plaza Pink and South St Seashell (I have all the other shades so I wanted to grab these 2 cuz the hoarder in me insists on complete collections); new Wet N Wild Coloricon shadow singles in Trashed, Platinum, Gold Digger, Sell Out, and Stagedive Surf (also Sugar, another older single that I've been meaning to get); LA Girl Glitter Addict polish in Celebrate (what can I say, it jumped out at me--I have tons of multi-colored glitters but so far, none like this one); and finally, all the Sally Hansen HD polishes were clearanced, so a bunch of them hopped into my basket just because...

 STOP 2: CVS, which brought me:

Random Milani polish on 75% off clearance; new Spoiled polishes in Jewelry Heist, Toad-ally Amazing, Checkin Into Rehab (dark purple with gorgeous gold flakes), Cougar Attack (much like the On The Prowl collection's Cougar Attack), Shrimp On The Barbie (gold flakes in a peachy pink), Trust Fund Baby (rumored to be a repackaging of On the Prowl's Correction Tape), Tattle Tell (sic) & Steel the Show; Essie Navigate Her (so excited to get this. I've been lemming this greyed-out celery green to death ever since swatches started popping up on the blog-o-sphere); Revlon Lip Butters in Berry Smoothie and Pink Truffle (I LOVES me some lip butters--I think I have like 14 of them now. I just can't stop buying them!); Maybelline Color Tattoo in Painted Purple, Edgy Emerald, Pomegranate Punk and Tough as Taupe (yay-- now I have the whole collection); Maybelline Bouncy Blush in Hot Tamale (I already have Fresh Pink, Plum Wine and Coffee Cake...not sure if I'm gonna pick up the other shades or not)...cha-frickin-ching

Stop 3: NEX Salon

Unless you're a military wife, you probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about when I say NEX. Well NEX= Navy Exchange, aka a fantastically wonderful tax-free, discount department store for miltary wives like me to go haul their butts off at. The stores also frequently have in-house salons where I get OPIs at $6 a pop. Above is the Nicki Minaj collection sans Save Me (which I already have) and Superbass (which I don't want. yea--so.over.crackles).

 STOP 4: The NEX store

First, I had to grab some essentials--my beloved Organix Keratin stuff (with which I beat my insanely curlified hair into submission); Udderly Smooth (makes my re-DONKulously dry, itchy skin happy); Exchange Select (the NEX's house brand) makeup remover; some random Milani pencils; Tweezerman Tweezers (for $8!!); The Wet N Wild 6 pan shadows (figured I better snatch them up before they become impossible to find); random Milani blushes and......BEHOLD:

Yes indeedy, those are DISCONTINUED Mega-Eyes trios--Egyptian Sands and Mojave Mauves. This is another awesome thing about the NEX. They tend to have old, long-gone makeup randomly mixed in with current stuff. It's freaking awesome. They also tend to get LE collections in much later than the rest of the world. For instance, they had brand new displays of the Wet N Wild Sparkle City cream shadow sets from the Holidays, a new display of the Revlon Just Tinted nail polishes, AND they had all the Project Runway L'Oreal stuff--a whole huge display of it and it was all on clearance too!

 Stop number frickin FIVE: Sally's

Not really sure what that 'Hair One' thing is. The sales lady was hell-bent on making me buy it and, after hours of shopping, I was too exhausted to resist. Plus it says it's good for curly hair. I'm all about stuff that will make my hair less crazy. I grabbed a bunch of Savvy polishes because they were on clearance. Same deal with China Glaze Holly-Day, and Finger Paints Comet's Collar, and Orly Emberstone. Far be it from me to resist a deeply discounted polish (even if I had NO interest in it whatsoever previously). I also FINALLY found Twisted--flaky rainbow awesomeness, you are finally mine! Up until today, they had every other flakie EXCEPT Twisted. I was ALL kinds of ninja grabby hands when I spotted that little gem sitting amongst all the bottles of Flashy (yawn). Oh yea, and can't forget the Hoofers Choice nail and cuticle cream. LUUURVE that stuff!

So there you have it. That's what happens when I'm cooped up inside for too long. Ain't nobody can haul like this mutha right here. 

All the other makeup aside, today I got 27 bottles of polish. and, believe it or not, that's not even a record for me! 

Bob Ross had Happy Little Trees, I have Happy Little Polishes.

Expect massive swatch posts showing off all these goodies--especially the new Spoiled polishes--soon!!

Squeeeee! Looky what I just found at CVS!

Yep, the new Black Radiance Eye Appeal 8 pan eyeshadow palettes...swatches & review to come!
