Score! | Old Scented Revlons, Stellare Notte & Opulent Cloud

I went into an older Walgreens looking for the New scented Revlons. No luck :-(

BUT...I did find these beauties! Older Revlon scented polishes in Coconut Crush and Not So Blue-Berry. :o)
They had two, (That's Right!) two Borghese's Stellare Notte and two Sally Hansen's Opulent Cloud.

I am wondering if I should throw these into the giveaway or another giveaway with a couple other small things.
Why don't you beauties let me know what you think!

These two will be for one lucky lady!

That is all there is to it, and be sure to come back and see what else is added.
Good luck, and I would like to thank all of you for your support and kind comments.

Until next time!

Edit: I can't believe I forgot to talk about me!
My husband and I went steady in March of 2000 when I was 14 and he was 16. We dated for over seven years and were married in May of 2007. Now we have been married for almost 3 years. We've been together for over 10 years, and it never seems like it has been that long. I know you all have to agree that a romantic husband is one in a million. :D

Little Swatches

My pinky is wearing NYX Jungle,
Ring Finger is wearing Bourjois Vert Eden,
Middle has on Classics Charming #37,
and Pointer has on L.A. Girls - Rock Star in Groupie.

This is a beautiful purple, but my photos all look blue. :(

If you look at the top area of the bottle you can kind of see the purple color, and that is what the entire bottle looks like in real life.

Wedding Bouquet

Ok...so I've been married since May 2007, but Ilissa at Everything Up Close is getting married in August and asked about bouquets.

Here is a photo of my bouquet:

The burgundy orchids and white roses blended beautifully with the pearled stephanotises.

The bouquet that was tossed was caught by my sister-in-law:

And because I love to reminisce...our first dance. :o)

NYX | NP30 Jungle

OMG! Such a gorgeous color!
Blue/Teal with a green flash.

This formula is quite thin but very saturated and at two coats I only had a slight VNL. Three coats would be perfect. The VNL is only more visible with the flash from my camera.
