LynB Designs 13 Days of Holo-Ween Beetlejuice Edition Advent 2024 Swatches and Review

I purchased a number of mystery advents last year and thought I would share some of them since there aren't a lot of photos out there. LynB Designs has one that counts down to Halloween and that was one I bought for the first time. The price was $85 for 13 polishes, which comes to $6.54 per polish. Since it contains one shatter finish, which the brand normally sells for $12 with no discounts due to the expense of the base, if you subtract that off the price, the other polishes average for a little over $6, which is the brand's regular price during 50% off sales. For fun, I will not only review and describe the polishes, but also ask the question, would I buy this one if it were not in a mystery collection.

Fair Maiden Polish 5th Anniversary Collection Swatches and Review

It was just over five years ago when I featured a new brand on my new, baby blog (see here). Fair Maiden Polish impressed me right out of the gates with sophisticated finishes, branding, and formulas. Look what they have become now! While there aren't as many Fair Maiden collections as there once were, because of the success of Polish Pickup, also owned by the Fair Maidens, when they do come, they are as fantastic as ever! I am honored to be able to share the 5th Anniversary Collection with you. Note the logo has been updated and the bottles are now rounds - this is so that they can use that perfect wide, round-ended brush everyone loves. At 8AM this Friday their whole store (except mysteries and doorbuster) will be 25% off, no code needed! Also, if you spend $25, you get a free Holiday 2019 polish. What better excuse do you have to pick these up?
