babydracothe Besame "Mrs Banks" set arrived a couple of days ago, thanks to a discount code. It's beautiful, and came with a pack of Bert's sidewalk paintings made into postcards. I love the details they put into their limited edition products.
At Walmart, I found the new Sinful Colors polishes, they're scented and the theme is "self care". I didn't get my hands on the food scented line, since most places I could find selling those wanted me to buy the whole set nd I only wanted couple. Not sure how on board I am with scented polishes.
I picked up "Coffee", "Lavender" and "Milky Bath". Coffee and Lavender smell like you'd expect. Coffee is quite strong. If you're wondering what Milky Bath smells like, it's...goats milk soap with rose water. To my nose anyway.
The KVD Edge of Reality eyeshadow palette with arrive tomorrow (along with one of the mini liquid lipsticks). This was their holiday item, and it was on sale at Ulta despite great reviews. Everyone who actually bought it turned out to love it...but it was on sale for $18 because not a lot of people wanted to, well, buy it. There's nothing wrong with their products, but after the mess with Kat leaving the company, they've been floundering re their identity. People didn't want their stuff because they were confused about what was going on, and the company's highly mockable fumbling in the PR department.
EDIT
The scented polishes are decent. For $2 nail polish, they cover well and are reasonably pigmented. They dry fast and haven't chipped yet. The scent dissipates within a few hours, but it does cover the smell of cheap nail polish. This is a popular brand for a reason.
The KvD eyeshadows are okay. They're not worth more than I paid, but the packaging is recyclable and the colors are pretty and usable. But the liquid lip, I LOVE. I'd buy another color if they had another color I could wear, but I'm not sure they do. Goes on neatly and creamily, dries down quickly, stays put without being painfully drying on the lips. My first experiences with liquid lipstick were from Colourpop, because everyone raved about them. Most of the ones I tried, I hated. Colourpop makes a lot of amazing products but I hate their liquid lips. But then I bought Sheer Patina from Stila and loved that. Eyeshadow you can cheap out on, liquid lipstick, I'm thinking, it's better you don't.
