“Purchased by me”. That’s right, this polish was purchased exactly 13 years ago this month according to the haul post I did and while I did post a swatch back then, I literally took the photo in the DARK because this was the first WEEK I had been beauty blogging and didn’t know any better! Back then, photography was somewhat secondary and it was more diary entry-like to have a beauty blog. When I go back and read both of those posts, I can’t help but smile and feel so nostalgic about life, still being in my late 20s and having the beauty world as my oyster when it came to what to talk about. You could literally talk about anything – what you bought, what you wore, what you ate all in a blog post. Now, we have IG stories and TikTok to share our lives with and there isn’t this slower sit-down style anymore.

Can you tell that in addition to posting better photos of this purple beauty, that I am missing that sense of wonderment when I first started blogging. I think our first apartment where I came up with the blog name “Cosmetic Proof” and I think about that first Christmas where I am pretty sure I bought every Revlon Lip Butter out there and put it in the Christmas tree! I also started blogging in the BEST month for beauty, October, which always has the most amazing Halloween collections!
I know the Fantasy Makers collections still exist, but from what I have seen the colours aren’t quite the same and drugstore makeup is now kind of expensive compared to what it used to be! I can’t believe that there are drugstore foundations for over $20 now! I still love the cap on this nail polish because it’s nice and flat and makes it so much easier to control the brush. I am wearing two coats and I love that subtle purple shimmer!

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving weekend with their loved ones or just relaxing and having a good extra day off!
