I Won't Spend More Than 10! Part Three

Remidner!! This is the LAST day to enter my giveaway! I will be randomly selecting a winner and emailing them tomorrow morning!

This is my final part of my US under 10 posts. Tomorrow, I'll make post of the international under $10 products along with my giveaway winner!

Note: If I haven't reviewed a certain brand it's either because I haven't tried the brand or do not have enough of their product to give them a review.

  1. I've actually heard that Zoya is sold in some beauty supply stores and salons. I've never encountered it personally, but who knows? My town isn't really all that up-to-date with their polish offerings, haha.

  3. Hermosa Surfer girl looks seriously AMAZING! & I want OPI MMAH so badly :( I didn't want it when it first came out because it was so overhyped and glitters are such a pain to remove, but now I'm regreting not getting it and I can't find it anywhere!
