Polish Pickup Dreamscapes August 2023 Swatches and Review

For the first time since I started this blog in 2014, I missed posting for a month. This was a combination of one of the busiest work months of my career, health issues, and a flood in my basement. This month is shaping up to be hard, too, with our museum reopening and another death in the family, but I'll do my best! Polish Pickup Dreamscapes is still open for pre-order through midnight EDT today, August 7. I've got products from KBShimmer and Music City Beauty to show you. 

*press samples*

KBShimmer Follow Your Art is a teal-blue-purple-magenta-orange multichrome shimmer with pink-fuchsia-red-orange multichrome iridescent flakes and tiny holo microglitters. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover. It dries quickly and has a thicker but manageable formula that needs top coat to smooth.

Price: $12

KBShimmer Pistachio Macaron Sugar Scrub is a moisturizing sugar scrub containing 9.5 oz of product. The fragrance notes are pistachio, almond, honey, vanilla, and heliotrope.

Ingredients: Sucrose, Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil, Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil, Emulsifying Wax NF, Stearic Acid, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Fragrance, Cetyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol

Price: $10 for 9.5 oz.

Music City Beauty Dream Weaver is a black-teal with magenta-gold-green multichrome magnetic shimmer, blue-green-purple multichrome iridescent flakes, and violet reflective particles. I wore it in two coats, but honestly it could be a one-coater. The polish dries quickly, wears really well, and needs top coat to smooth. I wore it both magentized and unmagentized as a regular multichrome.
