A Fresh Coat of Nail Polish: Bonita Starry Night....

Hey Everyone!!

I'm excited to start my Fresh Coat posts again. I have SOOOOO  much new polish, it's ridiculous. However, I was struggling with alot of ups and downs with my nails: the growth, then splitting, and peeling. All of these problems had me feeling so uncomfortable and not confident about wearing polish. I thought, if I didn't wear polish, no one would notice my nails being a wreck. I could see my Granny  getting me together for that decision!

I picked up two Bonita polishes yesterday at a Rite Aid. I've never tried this brand, but they had a beautiful fall color story display and the price was right ($1.49), so why not pick up a few colors. This shade is Starry Night, a green-blue with iridescent fine glitter. I only applied one coat and it was completely opaque. I wonder if all the Bonita polishes have that formula.

What you think about Bonita polishes? Let me know in the comments!

Flower by Drew Barrymore Fragrances in Sultry, Radiant and Cherished Review + TWO DUPES......

Hey Everyone!!

Last week, I spotted the new Flower by Drew Barrymore Fragrances that I heard Nouveau Cheap talking about on her blog. I really like the makeup line, the few pieces of it I have, so I was excited to check out the fragrances. And just like makeup, I wear a variety of price range of scents, from expensive to body sprays. Just as long as it smells good on me.:)

I wouldn't call this a review because I haven't checked the scents with a body chemistry to see how they really smell on me. This post is more like a "first impressions" on how the scents smell to my taste. I found some very interesting things about them, including TWO possible DUPES!

Sultry

"is a sensual and alluring oriental floral"

I do find Sultry sensual and spicy and I'm curious to see how it works with my body chemistry. I automatically wanted to buy this one on the spot. Sultry smell the most original out of the three.

 Radiant

"is a striking and confident sparkling floral"

I IMMEDIATELY thought Radiant smelled familiar. I kept smelling the scent tab and it smells very close, really close to Estee Lauder Pleasures, the original one. I wore Pleasures for years and years. It was the first high end scent I ever bought when I was in college.

Cherished

"is a comforting and nuzzly powdery floral"

It smells exactly like Victoria's Secret Heavenly. Yep. A drugstore dupe of Heavenly.

I think I'll go back soon for Sultry in the rollerball.

Pin of the Week!!! $1 MAC Dupes!!!

Hey Everyone!!


Time for Pin of the Week....my favorite pin on Pinterest about beauty! This one is amazing! I've talked about NK lipsticks before in previous posts. They are pretty decent lipsticks found at your locally owned ( Not Sally Beauty Supply) beauty supply for around a $1. They are also online for a $1 on several websites.

It's not a secret that some of the colors are MAC dupes. I found a MAC Riri Woo dupe in a NK lipstick ( check out that post HERE). So this particular pin lists a handful of MAC lipstick dupes in NK lipsticks.

Click HERE to see that pin and pin it to your board for safe keeping!!!

Know of any other MAC dupes in NK lipsticks other than the ones listed?? Drop them down in my comments. Sharing is INDEED caring, love.:)

Finding Deals....Beauty and Makeup at Burlington Coat Factory......

Hey Everyone!!!

My mother is a big fan of Burlington Coat Factory, which is one reason I never go in there. lol! However, since my kids' tutoring center is next door to  a Burlington, I find myself just popping in, to see what they have. Lately, their beauty section has been popping!

I would compare their beauty product section( specifically the Burlington in my area, your closest store may be different) to Ross or Marshalls. Since we are nearing the holiday season, the section has gotten a lot of sets and other gift giving goodies.

Here are a few photos of things I've found.....

I went back for that Philosophy lotion...and it was gone!! It was a steal for Philosophy at $14.99.

So, have you dipped in Burlington for makeup before? What did you find? Let me know in the comments!
