October Haul

Hey ladies! Happy November! Anything exciting happening for you this month?

I decided I wanted to (try) and do monthly nail polish hauls! :) I'll be showing you the polishes I picked up in October, as well as things I got in swaps!

*WARNING: PIC HEAVY* I really need to make a bigger light box.
Also, I'm going to tell you now that I went crazy this month. So please don't think negatively of me. I do NOT usually go insane like this, I promise. If you don't like haul posts, then you probably shouldn't reasd on.
Please don't leave any negative comments, I'll just delete them anyway so don't waste your time. ;)

OPI Man With The Golden Gun

I also received this baby that I am SO FREAKIN EXCITED ABOUT! OPI's The Man with the Golden Gun from the 007 Skyfall collection. *-* I bought this one from eBay and it was an awesome price because I think this costs $40 here in Australia and I am not paying that much for a polish!

In my second order, I ordered Mirage and Witches Britches (LE for Halloween).

Femme Fatale Cosmetics Tricky Treat, Shimmering Snowcap

Essence Party Princess, Modern Romance, Grey-t to Be Here\

Essence Gold Fever, Walk on the Wild Side, I Love Bad Boys

The new Essence range FINALLYYYYY came out here! I was soooo eager to find these and finally on the weekend I found them! :) I picked up Modern Romance, Oh My Glitter, Walk on the Wild Side, I Love Bad Boys, Party Princess, Gold Fever and Grey-t to Be Here. :) I am a huge fan of the new bottle design and the new brushes are really wide too, which I love in polishes. The PolishAholic took a photo of the old brush and new brush so you can see the difference, if you're interested, you can see that HERE. :)

American Apparel Imperial Purple, Butter London No More Waity Katie

American Apparel Australia had a promotion where you could go in and get a free polish if you signed up to their newsletter (not specified on the FB page but they asked when I went in). I think it's still on (only at a few stores, though), check their Facebook page for more info! I chose Imperial Purple.
And...I couldn't help myself! Butter London No More Waity Katie! <3 I walked into Fireflies, saw the Butter London rack and had to walk away with one. The staff in Fireflies were really nice too!

Essence Alice Had a Vision - Again, Edward's Love, Jacob's Protection

My Target stocked the Essence Twilight Breaking Dawn TE a day before expected! I picked up Jacob's Protection, Alice Had a Vision - Again, and Edward's Love. The names are a bit lame LOL. But oh well, I still love them. They look freaking gorgeous.

Phew! I bought and received a hell of a lot this month. I counted before publishing this and I do NOT want to write the number... If you count, keep it to yourself. I'm so embarrassed, lol! :|
I'm so glad I have all of you polish lovers to show this to because no one else would understand! I will definitely need to limit myself in November. Please note that this is the BIGGEST haul I've ever done in one month! :| I NEVER buy this much polish, honestly.

Let me know if you'd like me to keep doing these posts. I personally love seeing other bloggers' hauls. I love seeing what everyone else is buying and what I can expect to see shown on their blogs! :)
But I know some people can see hauls as "bragging", though I don't, I hope you don't either because I am not the bragging type.

I'll obviously be swatching/wearing this all eventually but let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like to see swatched first. :)
