Hauls from St. Petersburg and Fragrance Direct



I have a quick post for you guys today with two hauls. Like I told you in a previous post, I was in a little vacation in St. Petersburg and of course I had to buy some nail polishes and other nail related products from there. Also, when I got home I had a little package waiting for me from Frangrance Direct, so also included those polishes to this post.




I was hoping to find some local brand polishes from St. Petersburg, mainly Dance Legend as I had heard that they would be quite easy to find there. Well, I didn't see any! I guess I didn't look hard enough or didn't quite know where to look and I was quite dissapointed. Gladly, just before I was leaving I managed to find couple El Corazón polishes, which really made my day! Now at least I got some Russian polishes to try! I also saw a Pupa stand in one cosmetic store, so I grabbed couple polishes that looked most interesting as I haven't tried the brand before. The one Golden Rose Paris polish I bought just because I had some money left and needed to spend it somewhere...

From left to right these are: El Corazón Eggs of Wild Birds number 423/96 and Easted Eggs number 423/99, Pupa numbers 402 and 735, Golden Rose Paris number 94. 

Essie polishes were cheaper there than here in Finland and they all come with the wider brush, so I had to grab some! From left to right these are Good To Go Top Coat, Lapiz Of Luxury, Sand Tropez and Licorice. I chose some quite basic colors as these are the ones that I have considered buying before. I was going to buy Licorice from a sale from Finland before, so that I would have a good black polish with the wide brush, but thankfully I didn't as I got it still cheaper from St. Petersburg.

I also bought some basic hand creams to try as they didn't really cost anything. I don't have a Lush store near me and I haven't had Lemony Flutter for a while, so when I saw Lush store in Nevsky Prospekt I had the perfect chance to buy it. I got the Essie glass file as a gift from the same store that I bought couple of those Essie polishes from, it was really a nice surprise! And I bought the other glass file from a souvenir store.


The matryoshka one wasn't too expensive and I just wanted some little souvenir, so this was really perfect! It's not the smoothest glass file out there, so it's quite good that I also got the Essie one.. :D 

I propably would have bought more polishes if I'd had found those Dance Legends somewhere as I would have really wanted to try out the brand too. I guess I just have to order them online now.. But I was really happy to find those El Corazón ones and the Pupa ones and of course the Essies with the wide brush!


Then to my Fragrance Direct haul. They had some Essies and OPIs for quite reasonable prize, so I had to make a little order and get some. Unfortunately, it took quite a while for the package to reach me and all the polishes were really poorly padded, thankfully anything wasn't broken.

These are from left to right: Essie Navigate Her, Bikini So Teeny and We're In It Together, Revlon Stunning, OPI Dutch 'ya Just Love OPI?, Pedal Faster Suzi! and You Don't Know Jacques!

I have some close-up bottle shots of some of the polishes in this haul for you guys too:

So tell me guys, what did you think of my hauls?
Also, I was wondering if you'd be interested to read something more about my vacation? I just checked my photos and I have over 600 of them, so I thought I could do a little post and share some pictures of St. Petersburg with you guys if you are interested. Let me know!
