Fryl, I love China Glaze nail polish . They stopped carrying it at Barnums. If I can remember correctly I think China Glaze is made by OPI. I could have that wrong, but I think thats who makes it.

I also forgot to post I love your new clothes from Banana Republic. I really love the orange shirt, very pretty.

I ended up painting my nails yesterday with the new CK nail polish. Unfortunately I am not fond of the color, its kinda a gold/bronze. The color is much prettier in the bottle. I kept it on anyways to see how well it lasts. I saw online that Sephora had a CK pretty pale pink so I may exchange it for that one.

I'm glad that I decided to try the China Glaze nail polishes. I can't believe how cheap they are.
I'll let you know how I like them.


Thanks for the compliment, my stuff just shipped out, and I am very excited. The colours are lovely for spring and summer.

Too bad you don't like the colour of the CK n/ p on your nails, you should definitely exchange it if you're not happy with it. The other colour (pink one) is also very pretty. I hope at least that the quality is great and that it'll last a long time.

I ended up finding out there is an Ulta by me. I put my zip code in the store finder and there is one about 45 min. away. I ended up going yesterday. I will post reviews in the respective thread. This was the first time I had been to an Ulta, it was alot of fun. My sister went with me, we both said we will definitely have to go back again.

Heres what I got:
*Ulta Shower Smoothie 3-in-1 Buttercream Cupcake
*Ulta Shower Smoothie 3-in-1 Banana Bliss
*Ulta Shower Smoothie 3-in-1 Tangerine Dreams
*China Glaze nail polish Temptation Carnation
*China Glaze nail polish BFF
*Burts Bees lip shimmer Champagne

I had to end up redoing my nails today. I polished them on Thursday with the Calvin Klein nail polish and by yesterday they were already peeling. I was going to exchange it for a different color, now I will just return it.

Fryl, I meant to ask you where you ordered the China Glaze nail polish for $2.48. I bought 2 bottles yesterday at Ulta 1 was $6.50 and the other was $9.99. Thank you in advance.

Awesome purchases, Gizmo!

Sorry to hear that the CK nail polish isn't any good.

I got the China Glaze nail polishes from www.8ty8beauty.com. It's my first time ordering from there, but it seems like a reliable website, since a lot of the girls on the nail board on MUA order from it.
They did increase the China Glaze prices to $2.68 as of today, but that's still a great price.
I didn't know the regular price was $6.50 and up, I just thought it was a cheap brand.
There are also some that are $3.38, must be from a special collection or something.
Also, I chose to pay through PayPal. They send you an invoice after you place an order with them, and they don't tell you the shipping cost up front (except for that it's a minimum of $6).
I ended up paying $8 for 8 items.
I think it's reasonable, since their prices are really low.
I got my invoice today, and I paid for it immediately, so I'm curious to find out when my items will be shipped out. I'll let you know.
A website that I can highly recommend is www.head2toebeauty.com, but their prices are slightly higher, not by much though, but it might make a big difference if you place a huge order. They ship really fast. I got my order in just one day (they ship from Illinois).
Hope this helps.

Thank you so much Fryl for the great websites. I have been looking around on them, and what a price difference. I cant believe how much cheaper these websites are. I put them in my favorites so I can order from them next time. You have definitely helped save me some money.

China Glaze used to be my favorite polish, then they stopped carrying it at Barnums. I repainted my nails tonite with China Glaze BFF so I will see if its still as good as it used to be. You will have to post when you receive your order if you can.

I went to Express and got a blue button down shirt and a purple flower skirt. I had a coupon for $30 off my purchase. You know me - always the bargain hunter!

I also ordered my fiance's wedding band at the jewelry store. We had to special order it because it's a size 13.

I love the dress, Anan!! You ladies have had some great purchases so far this month!!! I haven't gotten too many exciting things, but I was able to snag an awesome orange paisley dress from WalMart for only $15!!
I love that dress so much, and it's soo comfortable!

I received my Ulta and 8ty8beatuy.com order. I love all my new nail polishes, especially China Glaze Ruby Pumps.
I'll post reviews on the Ulta 3-in-1s tonight. I did quickly sniff everything, and I love, love, love all the scents.

Yesterday, I got a BBW coupon (free TBS product) in the mail.

I got one of my Philosophy orders today (Bubbly and Begin Again).
I am a little dissapointed in the way the items came packaged. They didn't use any bubble wrap or tissue paper. The fragrance bottle came out of its box, too, as everything was just loose in the box. Luckily, nothing leaked or got broken. Phew.

Fryl, that stinks that they didnt package it properly. I really hate when companies do that. Atleast nothing was broken (amazing) hopefully your other package arrives safely.

i got to visit ulta today for the very first time, i guess there are more ulta stores along the way, but for now, its not that bad of a ride.
i got some makeup sponges and
two ulta smoothies in berrylicious and
banana, can i say yum?lol
the store just opened recently, they have some
things that sephora has, but i think they are much more nice there than sephora, imho.
i signed up for rewards, which i think are better too.a very good first time experience at the store, i think i will be going back again
very soon.

NVMom, congrats on your 1st Soapbox Co. order.

Miss V, it's lucky that you got some tickets for the SATC movie. I so want to see that!

First off, I got Gizmo's fraffle package in the mail today. It contained the following:
Creative Scentsations Black Cherry & Nutmeg handsoap & mini lotion

True Blue Spa coupon

Thanks so much, Gizmo!

And I stopped by Target this evening & got:
Allure (Apr. issue)
St. Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter body wash
Method Go Naked (dye & fragrance free) surface cleanser

You are very welcome Megan! I hope you like everything.

I ran in the mall really quick yesterday, the only place I stopped was Yankee Candle.
Heres what I got:
*Rootbeer float candle (medium jar)
*Fudge Ripple candle (medium jar)
*3 pack of car jars air freshener (Fruit Smoothie, Vanilla Lime, Cherry Lemonade)

They didnt have any tarts or large candles of the new scents in. The SA said they should be getting both in by next week.

I went to BBW on Sunday. I had a coupon and I was able to get Tahiti Sweetie lotion for only $5.
