Monthly Haul: August Edition

At the end of each month, I like to look back at my nail polish purchases and see all of the great deals I got. For the month of August I was on a “low buy” after my collection had grown so much in July. Even though I splurged on a couple polishes, I was able to still get amazing savings! Let me show you what I bought.

 

From left to right, here are the new polishes I purchased in August:

  • I continued to grow my China Glaze Hunger Games collection with Smoke & Ashes and Agro. I heard through the nail polish community that Sally Beauty Supply stores had these on clearance, so I asked my followers to see if they could find me any. I got these for a total of $4.50! The original retail price of these polishes was $8.99.
  • Next, I got two mini polishes from the indie brand Dollish Polish. I saw a listing on Copious for the complete Mario Collection, and asked my followers if they wanted to participate in a group order so we could each get 2 polishes. I got 1-Up and The Koompa King for $11.93. The retail price would have been $12.15, so I did save a little bit. Don’t forget you can join Copious HERE and get a $10 credit now!
  • This month I did splurge on two Illamasqua polishes. I paid retail price for these at $14 each. Sometimes it’s nice to treat yourself! I chose the colors Riveting and Optimist.
  • As usual, I got my two new Juleps in my August Julep Maven box. I got the box for free again this month because I had a free credit! That’s $28 worth of polish! Join Julep Maven today and get your first month for one penny with code MAVENINTRO at checkout HERE.
  • I got this Layla Magneffect on Copious using credits, and only paid $0.92 of my own money! It is in the color Metallic Sky.
  • This pumpkin is a glow-in-the-dark nail polish. I did pay full retail price, but it was only $2.99! Find these at your local Rite Aid store.
  • Last but not least, while I was at Rite Aid I found this Wet ‘n Wild Chrome polish in the clearance bin for only $1.00! This line sells for $3.99, but the bottle was a little banged up. The polish is perfect, though!

All in all, I got 11 new polishes and spent $49.34 of my own money. The total retail price of all these polishes was $105.11! That is a savings of $55.77! On average, I spent $4.49 for each polish! How fabulous!

 

I also did some swapping this month! I got these four polishes by trading with other nail polish lovers. It’s a great way to git rid of unwanted polishes & save some money!

That’s it for my August Haul! What do you think of my new polishes?

  1. You got some really lovely polishes here! The Illamasqua ones look great, and that glow in the dark pumpkin is so cute πŸ™‚

  2. I think I want your glow in the dark pumpkin polish, regardless of whether it’s a good one or not, because the bottle is ridiculously cute! β™₯

  3. The maven box is seriously only $0.01 to try out with the discount code! No charge for shipping!! I just did it. They told me my style is “boho glam.” That sounds like an oxymoron… but also kind of descriptive of me… πŸ™‚ I can’t wait to try the polishes out! Nail mail!

    1. Yeah!! It’s such a great deal even if you only get the first box and skip all the rest of them. How can you go wrong for a penny?! I am “classic with a twist” but I’ve switched boxes a lot. I hope you love Julep!!
