Sample mail, new Zoya, makeup play

Good morning,

Today's just been a lazy day; I just have not felt like doing much of anything, so it's a late blog entry. I have a few updates for you though. I can't believe it's been a whole week since I did my nails and I still haven't shown them to you all... but I just don't feel up to it today! Hope to tomorrow or soon!

I got one of my packages in the mail! I took advantage of Zoya's buy 3 for $15 promotion this week and bought Rory, Arizona and Carly.

I cannot wait to try out these polishes, and I have a great idea for a manicure using these 3 but that's later next week. Some of us bloggers are doing a new thing on Tuesdays where we show off a manicure featuring a polish we've never used before, so I thought I would wait til Monday night to do my nails again :) These colors are gorgeous in real life, and WOW! Arizona is not what I expected. Can you tell how it seems to glow in this picture? I expected it to be more well.. orange but it is a very bright, pretty color which reminds me of neon. Maybe I'm just not used to color? ;)

My new polishes inspired my color choice of eye shadow today. I had to play around a bit, but what do you think? I'm doing better at applying my eyeshadow, by the way :) I've gone a long time without wearing any makeup so I'm a bit out of practice! I'm happy with how it turned out, although it sure is a bold look but I think I pulled it off pretty well!



I almost forgot to mention, this is my 100th blog post!!! Woo-hoo!
yesterday I received my Nexcare waterproof bandage samples in the mail. These should come in handy when the world ends in December, right? ;) The sample pack came with 2 bandages, a 50 cent off coupon which doesn't expire until next March, and directions for use.

A couple of days ago I also received my Color Scents scented trash bag sample. I got Linen Fresh scent. I received 3 four gallon twist tie bags. They're little, but they're free and I got 3 of them so not too shabby. I also received a 50 cents off coupon which expires in December. Oh, and they were packaged in a little bag sealed with a twist tie. I reuse all of my old twist ties, so I even got a free twist tie :) The smell is OK. Nothing special, but it's not overpowering either.
