RMS Beauty is having a cross-promotion gift with any purchase now that I recently took advantage of. RMS Beauty recently launched a 4 pan powder eyeshadow palette, their first palette. Though I think their cream shadow is kinda meh, I decided to try the palette especially once I saw that they are giving away a …
My nails are a mess this winter. Between shoveling snow in below freezing temperatures and washing dishes without always wearing rubber gloves, my nails have split and broken in spite of me taking biotin, using nail treatment products, and having trimmed them about two weeks ago. Nevertheless, lately I’ve been trying to keep them covered …
When Olive and June had their once-a-year 20% off sale, I bought 3 new polishes. Boysenberry Glass (reviewed here) is probably my all-time favorite jelly on my nails, but Ruby Shimmer certainly is a lovely second favorite long wearing polish! Although I think Ruby Shimmer was introduced as a Christmas shade, I think it’s even …
I often apply my nail polish when I go to bed. Kind of a dumb idea, right? Usually I can get away with it, but with jelly polish like Boysenberry Glass, it makes much more sense to use a table and to wear my glasses! Boysenberry Glass is one of Olive and June’s jelly polishes. …
Shopping Local at Walgreens/CVS When picking up a prescription at CVS a week or so ago, I noticed they were putting up an end aisle display of Olive and June Nails products. I was a little bit surprised that it took so long for O&J to show up at CVS since, as I’m sure you …

Because I’ve been trying to get my gardens in order, I haven’t been wearing nail polish very often. As a result, some of my nails broke while digging or using a variety of gardening tools. Boo. Even though I have more to do, I decided to paint my nails this weekend. I ordered a few …
Last week, in a moment of weakness, I strayed from my favorite brand of nail polish, Olive & June, when I was at CVS. Walgreens and Target carry O&J, but CVS doesn’t. I had a coupon for 10% off full price items as well as another coupon for $3 off a bottle of essie polish. …
Since we’re already in May, I better hustle along and post my March empties. This month was a variety of products with no category in the lead. Bath & Body RITUALS The Ritual of Sakura: I’ve used up yet another container of the fabulous Ritual of Sakura shower foam. The delicate scent of sakura …
The two green polishes I bought from Olive & June a few months ago have been sitting unopened wrapped up in the bubble wrap that they arrived in. Thinking about St. Patrick’s Day, I thought this was the perfect time to choose one of them. Frankly, I don’t remember buying “Touchdown!“, a medium green that …
Before I get too far behind in this year’s Project Pan mini-reviews, here’s what I used up in January. Maybe I’ll make my 100 product goal this year!

I forgot all about Olive and June‘s sole yearly sale around Black Friday when I placed my order for a few polishes a couple of weeks ago. They arrived last week along with a free bottle of Long-Lasting Topcoat and Quick Dry Topcoat, both of which I need. So I think the two bottles of …

Last night before going to bed, I decided to change my nail polish. I reached for a polish that I don’t remember buying, but I must have. I don’t think I have worn it previously, and it was unopened and still wrapped in the bubble wrap that it came in. From Olive and June‘s Long-lasting …
