Another item I got early this week during CVS's Wet n Wild Buy One Get One FREE sale. Petal Pusher is a great eyeshadow palette for purple eye makeup looks. I didn't expect much when I pick this up, but I'm glad I got it! The pigmentation especially the darker shades are great, and the colors are just gorgeous.

butter London Yummy Mummy
This is my second time wearing this polish and I have to say I really love it! butter London Yummy Mummy is a beautiful light to medium soft taupe with very subtle shimmers. It's a very pretty neutral nude shade, definitely not boring, yet very sophisticated and elegant. On butter London's website, it was described as a 'magic' lacquer, a medium beige nail lacquer that is simply stunning on every skin colour.
While I was deciding between Yummy Mummy and All Hail the Queen, my mind was set for Yummy Mummy as soon as I swatched the testers on my nails. I also love All Hail the Queen, but it just didn't look right on my Asian skin tone (medium to fair but on the fair side with yellow undertone). All Hail the Queen made my skin look dirty and not flattering, but Yummy Mummy. Plus, I really like the name Yummy Mummy, so cute!
As for the formulation, I'd say the consistency was a tad bit thicker to my liking. Also, it didn't "self-level" that much, so it's better to work fast with this particular nail lacquer. Pigmentation was pretty good, a bit sheer on the first coat, but opaque in second and the drying time was quite pleasant. Aside from the expensive price tag ($14.00, though I got it during ULTA's Buy One Get One FREE sale), I was very pleased with the overall quality of Yummy Mummy.
What do you think of this shade? Would you wear it? Did you get any butter London nail lacquer during ULTA's sale event? Comment below, I'd love to know. Thank you for checking it out. Have a wonderful Thursday evening.♥

Wet n Wild Pick Your Poison Collection: Toxic Apple
So this week CVS is having Buy One Get One FREE sale on Wet n Wild products. While I was browsing all the displays, Wet n Wild's new Pick Your Poison Collection display jumped out at me, and I picked up 2 polishes that I thought would look pretty on the nails during this time of the year.
Toxic Apple is a dark purple with shimmers jewel-toned shade. It looks pretty in the bottle, sadly the shimmers didn't transfer that well onto the nails as I'd hoped. On nails, it showed more dark navy than purple, and without direct sunlight, you can barely see the shimmers. Pigmentation and drying time were great, opaque in 2 coats. However, the formulation was more on the goopy side, and the brush was gigantic!
Picture above was taken under direct sunlight. I really love the purple/navy/magenta shimmers, they're really pretty to look at under the sunlight, but just didn't show much when indoor...which was a disappointment ~_~
What do you think about this shade? Did you pick up any polishes from this collection? Thanks for checking!
