On to the nail stuff!
Since my short time on MUA, I keep on reading tips from other girls and probably the most prevalent is to moisturize the cuticles. I already use lotion on my hands and have a recently acquired cuticle cream, but the girls always talk about Lemmony Flutter from LUSH.
Now I've never been to LUSH before, nor have I tried any of their products, but when a good friend asked me to go to one with her, I happily obliged. LUSH is a company that carries handmade cosmetic products and what an experience it is to visit one of their stores! They pamper you and let you try as many products as you want.
Unlike my friend, I didn't buy anything at the LUSH store, but I was happy to walk away with some samples, especially this Lemmony Flutter I keep hearing about.
My haul (samples + Essie)
In the photo above I also included 2 Essie nail polishes, my very first Essie polishes, ever - Huckle Buckle & Sexy Divide. I've so far not wanted to get any of these because I keep hearing about how thin the formula is and I dislike that. In this case, my friend and I walked into Nail Depot (in Pickering) and got them on clearance, because this store decided to no longer carry Essie, so if any of you like this brand, go get it there cheap!
Full Cuticle + Nail Creme & sample Lemony Flutter
Above is my current cuticle cream, Sally Hansen Diamond Cuticle + Nail Creme and a sample of LUSH Lemony Flutter, we'll see which one wins.
BLOG ROLL!
I know I've been slacking when it comes to updating what blogs I've come across, but I must say, keeping a blog like this is proving to be time consuming, which means that sometimes I'll have to play catch up. This is one of those times. I've got 2 weeks worth of blogs for you guys! Click any of the links below to check them out.
I'm also still compiling a list of Redhead Blogs (preferably nail related), so if any of you know of some, please let me know! Thankies!
Week 2 -> July 11-17, 2011
Week 3 -> July 18-24, 2011
There's one more blog I'd like to add to this list, although it's not nail polish related, this is for other girls out there who could use help with their own blog. It's helped me with some technical stuff already, so I really want to pass on the info to help someone else. Check out:
Till next time!
I really want to try LUSH, but I'm not within 500 miles of a store and the shipping is SO EXPENSIVE!

ReplyDeleteSee, and I take it for granted because the stores are around here in our malls.
Ooh, I'm excited to see how Lemony Flutter stacks up, since I too have heard all the hype about it. Though I don't think there's a store near me either, but I'll be interested to see how it turns out!
ReplyDelete@Laura Me too! There's been so much hype about this stuff, I'm curious. I'm hoping that the tiny sample I got will actually do anything.
