KL Polish (+ gift)

I've ordered a lot of stuff lately - you may have noticed - but the cool part is that I've gotten a lot of bonus stuff for my money - mostly expected but even some unexpected ones! The main surprise ones were the little box of hand-care stuff from Zoya and a Colourpop lippie from KL Polish.

The bottle labels are below, but in case you can't read those, this is Charmed, Mindy, Casino Night, and Alyssa is the liquid lipstick, which is the Colourpop Satin formula (which is my favorite). This is not the color I would've picked, but y'know, you can't have everything. If I don't seem to be using it, I'll give it away. And it was free, so how can you complain much?

Charmed is from the new spring collection (Ethereal Garden) and the other two polishes are from the winter one (which is Winter Glamourland). Charmed has a shifty "flip" thing going on - everything else in the collection was pretty much pastel, which has never been my thing. I did already have Cassiopeia from the winter collection, and there were some cremes which I wasn't very interested in (red, green, and gray, specifically). I pick and choose my polishes all the time, but Kathleen seems to have been building up a core collection with a lot of cremes, and I just don't buy a whole lot of those. So Mindy and Casino Night are the two that were left that I was interested in, and unless I get a sudden itch to have a super-dark green creme or something (which seems unlikely since I already have things like that and rarely wear them) this is probably all I'll buy from that collection.

I did want Mindy, though, which is a berry/wine color. And then Casino Night is a gold glitter, and while I don't need it, because I already have a lot of metallic golds, I was tempted and I gave in on that. It's sort of similar to Das Esspensive XXV, which I have - the first one, from last year - but that is more champagne and this one is gold and I think has more holo glitter. I'm going to have to get them next to each other and check on that. (Maybe when I put up my swatch on this.)


I think that everybody who was on KL Polish's mailing list got a 10% off coupon. They've recently raised their prices and Kathleen said in a video that the idea was that 10% off would get the price down to the old price, more or less. (They were $8.50 and now they're $9.50. So 10% off would be 95 cents... so it went up a nickel, as long as you have a code. - And see below for a place to get one if you don't!)

Here's that video:

She also talks about what x-free (5-free, 7-free, whatever) means, and various other questions. Also note that they have a list of KL Polish "ambassadors" there in the description box, and those people will have permanent 10% off codes, as I understand it. So if you don't have one already, that's where to get one.
