I was hoping to have this post up sooner, but there were issues with delivery. The package finally made its way home, though. I made a purchase through Apothica's website for some nail polishes and my favorite lip balm. I typically order my SpaRitual polishes from them but this time around there were some Essies that have been on my list that I wanted to be able to remove.
As you can see, I stuck with very spring-like colors. From Essie, I ordered three. Left to right they are: Who Is The Boss, Van D'Go, and Love & Acceptance. The blue and purple were from a previous Wedding Collection. Van D'Go is one that I already own but haven't seen in stores recently. Because it is my all time favorite peachy pink polish, I thought it would be smart to order a backup. I'm already far into my original bottle.
As for SpaRitual nail polishes, I only got two this time around. They are also quite springy colors. On the left is Chill. It is only a mini bottle, but I didn't see a full size on the site. On the right is a new one from this year's Spring Collection and it is called Introspective. Introspective is a full sized bottle.
Any time I order from Apothica, I make sure I select my, without question, favorite lip balm. It is the Jack Black lip balm. This stuff is amazing! I've never tried this particular scent because it is often out of stock. I typically order the lemon & chamomile. I saw the Vanilla & Lavender was in stock, though, so I jumped on it and made sure it found its way into my shopping cart.
These last two items were free samples. The first is Lytera Skin Brightening Complex. The second item is M2 Skin Refinish. From a brief glance, it would appear the first is a brightening/lightening cream and the second a primer. If any of you have used either of these products, let me know your thoughts and how you, personally, use them.

I am also a big fan of Jack Black lip balm - no one sells it where I live for a good 250 mile range and even then only 1 store has it and is usually out of stock if I am at that place a Sephora) for a day run...so when I get it, it's always mail order and I buy like 7 at a time. My fav is the grapefruit one I think but 2nd is your fav the lemon camomile
ReplyDeleteIf you typically buy in bulk, I know you can buy 5 at a time and save the price a bit on some sites. I think Apothica has a package deal as well as the Jack Black site. I haven't tried that one yet, but it is definitely on my list. :-)
Deletei know how you feel about being stuck in spring mode already! lol. Ive never been on apothica, but ill definitely check it out!
ReplyDeleteI love and am ready for the COLORS of spring. Some warmer weather wouldn't be horrible... but I will admit I'm thoroughly enjoying the last legs of snowfall we have been getting.
DeleteI'm loving the colors of the polishes that you picked out. Jack Black lipbalm is awwwwesome! I only have the mint flavor. I can't wait to finish it so I can try the other flavors lol
ReplyDeleteThat one seems to be the most popular. I don't think I'll ever try it, though, simply because I'd rather not have my lips blow up in allergic reaction, lol! Not the best look to sport x-D
DeleteThose three Essies look so nice for spring! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to get them on my nails and brighten things up!
DeleteThe bottles of spaRituals are cute. I'm curious about the swatches.
ReplyDeleteToday's manicure (the four leaf clover) shows what the green (Introspective) looks like. I think I'll be wearing Chill (the purple-ish) very, very soon! I quite like the bottles, too. Something I enjoy is the rubber gripped handle/top on them!
