April 2022 Departures

Ok folksickles. Departure blogs will contain items that aren't empties but that are going to be given away for one reason or another. I'm working hard to curate my makeup collection and want it to include only the products that I think truly work well, that I reach for often and do what they're supposed to do.

1. Rumi 18 Seven days matte water nail polish: This is a beautiful ruby nail polish but unfortunately it started chipping within a day of wearing it and didn't stay put on my nails at all so I shall be passing it along. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Nail Polish Review: Rumi 18 Seven days matte water nail polish

Nail polish: Rumi Seven days matte water nail polish in 18

What the brush looks like:

My nails with 2 coats of polish, all nails have inm Out the Door Topcoat for Nails on.:

Availability: I am unable to find this online; there is a Rumi store at a mall I occasionally go to and they had this polish there. I believe that after sales tax I paid close to $5 for this.
Would I buy this again?: No.
Notes: I'd describe this as a metallic ruby red with gold and ruby micro-shimmer.  In terms of wear, this chipped within two days of having it on. On some of my nails this peeled right off and in fact it came right off my pinky nails pretty much right after I took the photo above and that was the day after I had painted my nails. This color is absolutely stunning, I love it, but the wear is so disappointing that I really cannot justify purchasing or recommending this product. I am genuinely unsure if maybe it's meant to be worn on its own without a base or topcoat but my experience with its poor wear was just so disappointing that I will be passing it along.

March 2022 Arrivals

Ok folksickles! Look at me for a change, pretty much only buying essentials. 

1. IUNIK Propolis Vitamin Sleeping Mask: I've been running low on my sleeping mask and I really like to use them as a layering step to add extra hydration to my skin as, like I've mentioned in the past, my skin is dry but cannot absorb heavy, thick, hydrating products so I notice that layering lightweight products works better for me. With that being said, I heard that this sleeping mask is fairly hydrating and since I was able to get it on Flip Fit with a 30% discount I thought why not.

2. DECEIM Mini Haul: So, funny story about this, these are the same items from my January Arrivals and the reason for that is I originally placed an order at DECEIM at the very start of December, hoping to buy my friend some Christmas gifts, and also to get some things I wanted to try for myself. Well, the middle of December rolls around and my order appears to be stuck somewhere at the shipment center and wasn't moving so I emailed DECEIM and they sent me a replacement order. I thought that was it. Ha, well, I guess now in March the shipping center came across my package and thought to themselves "oh, well, she might want this stuff." So in short, I received my order from December just a week ago as of writing this post. I know 100% that this was my December order because the packing slip had my order date on it.  

The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG

The Ordinary Retinol 0.5% in Squalane 

The Ordinary Buffet Serum

3. Rumi Seven Days Matte Water Nail Polish in 18: This is such a pretty red with golden sparkles that I could just not pass it up!
