CVS Rocks My World

I admit, I usually go into my local drugstores expecting nothing because it takes forever for my stores to get any new products. Sometimes I am taken by surprise. Today, especially, I was really surprised.

As everyone should know by now, Long's was acquired by drug store giant CVS. Slowly over the past few months, Long's made the transition over to CVS. I stopped by the store closest to my campus today before my class and was surprised to see that the signage has changed. I went inside to see the whole store totally revamped!!! I was like a kid in a candy store. They had a ton of new Halloween items out (lots of lashes lashes, some nail polishes), some ORLY polish displays, and just a bunch of brand new shiny things. What can I say, I'm easy to please.

I went around the cosmetic section to come across brand new displays from NYC, Rimmel, Prestige, and Styli-Style (Finally!!! They removed the old display a while ago. I got a back up of my everyday liner, Line & Seal 24 in Brown/Black)! The old displays were hurting to be made-over and re-stocked. Anyways, I was walking around the section with all the "new" stuff and to my surprise.....came across the new Milani Halloween polishes!!! AND the new glitter/bright polishes!!! For a moment, I just couldn't wrap my brain around it. I actually came across something that was really new.

The display looked like it had just been put out- it was totally full. I was thisclose to getting one of each color....but I restrained myself to 2....

Fairy Tale & Whimsical

Most likely I will use one of these polishes this week. These are really gorgeous- the glitter is different from other polishes I have. They're more than just black with blue or pink shimmer- but the glitter in these are more prominent. Another plus- the glitter does not flake or look chunky, but rather it looks like it's almost floating. It has a pretty good black base, the above swatches are a couple of coats. I'll have to try it over black. I may have to go back for the other 4 polishes in the collection....maybe....

This is actually my first experience with Milani polishes, and I'm truly impressed with these shades. They're seasonal/limited edition, of course. And seem to be limited to CVS stores at the moment. I paid $4.50 for these beauties, which seem like a fair price to me. If you love glitter and you love dark polish, I highly suggest you pick one up!
