Swatch Sundays!

Alright – since I’ve got a lot of content and I’m having a hard time finding time to get some of this online I’ve decided I’m going to start with something simple and start posting “swatch sundays” posts.

I have a LOT of old OPI nail polished swatched and prepped …

…so I’m going to start off with those and hopefully get some other things into the mix as well. They’ll likely be fairly simple posts primarily made of photos.

Zoya 3 Free Promo – Color Your World 2014

Zoya is again running their “3 Free” promo, this time with a twist, they will have an additional personalized promo code for …. something…  that they’ll send out on the 15th if you use the three free promo code. Details on the extra something: http://zoyanailpolish.blogspot.com/2014/01/color-your-world-bonus.html

I’m a sucker for this deal and have taken advantage of it before in 2011, and 2013 so this time I ordered CocoBrigitte and Normani

I’m in the mood for some good neutral shades. Since Brigitte and Normani are part of their “Zoya Naturel Collection” it might take a little extra time for me to get my order (as these gave me warnings in the shopping cart about being backordered.)

If anyone is curious which Zoya Nail Polishes I already own (Loredana and Poppy are missing from this list because they no longer sell these shades):

Winter Warrior – ClothingCult giveaway

Winter Warrior - ClothingCult giveaway

if you’re on mobile or an RSS reader, click through for the Rafflecopter giveaway form

Remember how I mentioned that I give away the items that I get that I know I can’t use? There are things I’m allergic or react to so I can’t try them even so I simply leave them sealed and give them away. I’ve filled another Birchbox box full of goodies so it’s that time again. Since a lot of the items had to do with winter skin care or a healthy glow, I decided to call this one winter warrior.

In this giveaway:

  • Pop Beauty Eyeshadow in Naturally Bare
  • Bliss That’s Incredi-Peel sample
  • Klorane Extra-Gentle dry shampoo with oat milk sample
  • Pixi Beauty Bronzer Subtly Suntouched
  • Turo Lip Balm Treatment SPF15
  • Tresemme Extra Firm Control Hair Spray sample
  • Carmex Healing Cream & Lip Balm

Pantone, the leading authority on color trends for both print and style, has revealed the color of the year for 2014. Radiant Orchid is “a captivating harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones.” I’ve collaged some images above from pinterest in this sort of shade range.
