SALLY HANSEN CHRISTMAS SALON EFFECTS (RITE-AID)

More from my little adventure, part one was all of Sally's Beauty Supply's new displays and this post is mostly Rite-Aid. I'm a huge fan of Rite-Aid right now, they always have tons of room for stand alone displays and they always have the latest out. This particular Rite Aid was in Bellingham, I did go to a few different Rite Aids cause I was on a mission to find Loreal Owl's Night, and I did finally find it!!! I was so excited, I'll post some swatches very soon cause can't wait to wear it.

FINGER PAINTS MERRY AND BRIGHT COLLECTION (SALLY'S)

OMG I must say there are so many new Holiday displays out now! I took a little 'nail polish' adventure into Washington and heres what I found! This is from the Sally's Beauty Supply in Bellingham which is about 15 minutes from the boarder crossing. It's right by Bellis Fair mall. 

CHINA GLAZE - LET IT SNOW COLLECTION

I was surprised to see some Twinkle Lights! Thats my favourite from this collection.

SPOTTED: Drug Store Fall Displays Bellingham, WA (Labour Day Weekend)

So I, along with thousands of others decided to take a little shopping trip over the boarder this past weekend. I didn't go very far just to Bellingham which from Vancouver is about 45 minutes. I really just wanted a few new tops for work and to check out the new fall nail polish... so heres what I saw. Above it the new Revlon polishes from The Expressionist collection. I've done a post on it here. As you can see in the post I bought all of them, from left to right, Starry Pink, Blue Mosaic, Facets of Fuchsia, and Smoky Canvas. This display was in Target. They were $3.74 US each.

Also in Target was this Sonia Kashuk display, which I believe is a Target exclusive brand. They are $4.89 US each. This is her Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. I didn't buy any of them, I did buy her Limited Edition pink blending sponge and a few of her makeup brushes. Below is my favourite from the collection, it's called Blank Slate. I'm kinda regretting not buy it now, but it really looks like China Glaze's Concrete Catwalk. 

This was from Rite-Aid. It was 7 polishes from Maybelline and their Express Finish line. I bought the one the very right called Cool Couture. It's the only Maybelline in my entire collection, the bottles are very unattractive to me. The colour looks so pretty in person, I just had to have it. There was one more Maybelline display beside this one with nail polish on it.. 

I loooove shopping over the boarder. I go about once a month, this time it was just a quick trip just to Bellingham. Bellingham is about 20 minutes from the actual boarder, if you looking for nail polish, they have a Sally Beauty Supply, Target, and Wal-mart. If your trying to reach a Ulta from Vancouver the closest one is Lynnwood, while your in Lynnwood you can check out Nordstroms too, which carries Butter London, MAC, and Deborah Lippmann. 

My two other favourite things about the states are: EOS lip balm and Pink Rockstar :) both I can never find here in Vancouver. 

OPI Spookettes Limited Edition Halloween Collection 2011

Halloween! I can't believe it. I love Halloween and the whole fall season, so I'm always excited to see the Halloween collections when they start popping up on shelves. This years OPI's Halloween minis are named Spookettes. Its four polishes from left to right named: He's My Boo, Mummy Knows Best, I Only Date Werewolves, & Zom-Body to Love. As usual adorable names. Much different then last years Go Goth Halloween Collection, which was rich dark colours. Zom-Body to Love is a glow in the dark (see swatches here)! The other three are standard creams. The pack comes with "spooky nail decals" and nail art ideas on the back (see below). It retails for $12 CND. Minis are .4 oz each.

Final thoughts... go with the pack if you really want Zom-Body to Love and don't already have similar cream colours. It's very cute and a little tip: Glow in the dark polishes work great with a white base, so bonus that the pack includes both. 

OPI Limited Edition Pink of Hearts 2011 Edition (Pink Shatter!) Polish

Polish with a cause, LOVE IT! In honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month, OPI has come out with its hit Shatter in PINK!!! Pink is my personal favourite colour of all time. Is it just me or is the display and the polish inside the bottle more red then pink? I'm sure the actual finished product on the nail is pink anyways. Today I spotted this display couldn't help but get excited. It has a very cute pink shatter cap. The Pink of Hearts polish is released once a year and it supports the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. OPI will be making its annual donation of $25,000 to the foundation. For more on the Susan G. Komen for the cure visit (komen.org).

SPOTTED: Drug Store Fall Displays... August 2011

I found my self with time to kill at lunch today. I walked to a London Drugs in Vancouver and checked out 3 nail polish displays that I didn't see last week. Sally Hansen has a new fall collection in their Insta-Dri line out, Revlon had a limited edition Edgy Elegance collection on display, and Essie had the Carry On collection out. 

Sally Hansen's Insta Dry Limited Edition Fall line. Consisted of jewel tone colours. Bronze Ablaze, Coco A GoGo, Grape'scape, Presto Pewter, Quick Brick, Ruby Rush, & Tealy Fast. I really wanted to find something unique in the bunch but they all seemed like colours that were not-so unique. I passed on all of them for now, nothing really jumped out at me has something I had to have right away.

Revlon's Edgy Elegance Collection I liked the most. It consisted of foil type polishes in lighter metallic hues. Cutsy names like Princess, Fierce, Girly, Catty, Downtown, Aloof, Innocent, & Punk. My personal favourites of the bunch were Fierce a pink/purple and Princess (just for the name lol).

And last but not least, the Essie's Carry On Collection. I love Essie, Essie before this year was incredibly hard to find the new collections in Canada. The Carry On collection has 6 new shades. Carry On, Power Clutch, Glamour Purse, Case Study, Very Structured, & Lady Like. I already ordered online Power Clutch which seems to be the standout of the bunch, after seeing Glamour Purse in person, I might just go back and pick it up. 

Final thoughts all very different, I'm very glad there is a good selection in the new fall collections. Power clutch is the one out of all the collections I'm liking the most.
