Seriously, I have done a little to much hauling lately, and as fun as it is I have to slow down a bit ;) Therefore I promised myself yesterday that I won't be shopping any more makeup and nail polish for a while. So; as of today I am officially on a no-buy until the end of May... *sigh* I have a few more small packages on the way, but they will be the last ones (*sigh*) for a little while.
(Inner dialog: No-buy, how extremely boring.... What the heck I am supposed to post about? Well, how about all the stuff you already have, stupid... ) #:)
Anyway; this much anticipated package was delivered by the nice mailman (well, it's mail woman, actually!) yesterday.
I've been dying to try Sinful Colors polishes for quite a while now, so when Cherry Culture had 25% off the entire store recently, I decided to order... a few of them .... *ahem*.
While I was at it, I also just happen to throw in a *few* NYX polishes and pencils... Strange, isn't it? I don't understand how that just happens... ;)
Well; are you ready to take a look at the awesomeness? Great; fasten your seat belts, here we go!
Almost all of the pics in this post are a little blurred to the left.. I'm so very sorry, I didn't see it until I had completed uploading them... I took a look at the camera lens, and there was a spot of something there... I hope you can still get a good idea of the colors, though... ;)
L-R: Memory of Antigua, Lagoon, Lioba and Tokyo Doll
L-R: Orlando, Glitz, Silly Alix and Chicago
L-R: Bahama Sunset, Bali Mist, Pink Diamond and Pretty in Pink
L-R: Forget Now, Real Red, Rich in Heart and Yummy
Fashion Neon and Gorgeous
Moving on to the NYX Girl polishes...
L-R: Mother of Pearl, Naked, Poppy, Lingerie
L-R: Dark Cherry, Wild, Azure and Showgirl
Here's an example of just how off the Cherry Culture color swatches are.
I thought it would be nice to have a grey polish in my stash, since I don't have any. So, after having a look at the swatch below, I thought I had found a perfect one! Are they similar, you think...? Well, this is a nice blingy color per se, so I'm fairly happy with it judging only by the bottle, but it wasn't exactly what I expected it to be when I ordered it... ;)

NYX Showgirl...
Two more shades in another bottle design; have no idea why, I prefer those bottles above, though ;)
L-R: Whisper and Cocktails

NYX Long Lip Liners in "Prune", a dark plummy shade and "Plush Red", which is more of a bright hot pink than it is a red. I knew this before I ordered it, it was my intention to buy a shade like that. Those are BOGO (buy one, get one); so I paid $2 for both.
Slim eye pencil in "Echo Green" - a gorgeous medium metallic teal-green shade
I dunno if this shade has been discontinued, it isn't available on the NYX website, so hurry up and grab it if you like it :)

So; this was my recent Cherry Culture haul. The Sinful polishes are $2 each, and the NYX Girl polishes are $1.50 each, which I consider cheapo cheap! Plus, as I mentioned; I got 25% off, so they were even cheaper.
I'm not so sure I'll be able to stick to this no-buy commitment, I guess we'll have to wait and see, time will tell.. ;)
Which are your favorites from the above? Any Sinful favorites that are not included in this haul?
Hope to see you very soon; have a great weekend!!

Let me know how you like the np. I knew those 'swatches' looked strange!
Holy haul, batman! You got alot of great things there. Thanks for sharing :)
Nice load of polishes! I love Yummy, Rich in Heart, Real Red and oh I love them all! I don't have a one of them. I checked my list to make sure. They must be all new shades. I will have to visit Cherry Culture. How are NYX eyeliner pencils? Are they easy to draw on your eye? Looking forward to your swatching.
Ho-ly moly! I like your definition of "few"! :D You're gonna be kept busy a while with that lot...
Sinful Colors are the best. They are great polishes for a great price!! :) I see that you got Pink Diamond... I have Purple Diamond and it's awesome. I also JUST bought Gorgeous~ I LOVE it!! Have fun trying out all your new polishes! :)

Hi Lucy!
I saw a swatch of Rich in Heart on a Spanish blog, and I fell in love with it instantly. Hope I will love it equally as much on my tips!
Hi Nixxy!
LOL at "a few"... Gonna be busy indeed, and I'll share it all with you ;)
Hi Olivia!
Great to know they're good, would have hated it if I'd bought a truck load of crap... ;)
Those Diamond shades look like glass, I've seen swatches of Purple Diamond, and it looks really pretty.
Pink Diamond looks super pretty in the bottle, so does Gorgeous.
LOL.... I nearly fell off my chair,when I saw how many sinful polishes!!! I love it! Great Haul you have there Miss Vanessa!!! Have fun trying all polish and make-up! Can't wait for swatches and reviews!
