| PRESS SAMPLES |
For Bee's Knees 2nd anniversary they have created a new IT themed collection and have sent it to me for review! Also available are Bioshock mystery bag overpours, new mystery bags, new scents for scroaps and meringues, and a huge sale on all old polishes and bath and body products. Everything that won't be new to the site will be 20% off. The site goes live at noon on 9/1 and the sale will last through 9/7. ( I'm clearly late.) I love the scroaps(whipped soap/sugar scrub combo), meringues (whipped soap), aloe lotion, bath bombs/crumbles and wax melts! BKL lip balms are my favorite indie formula. I've yet to try any bar soap. As far as sale polishes I have to recommend some of my favorites in stock: White River Monster Spine, Rougarou Hair, Chesapeake Chessie, Necromorph Nude, Songbird Cinnamon, and Thunderbird Feather.
For reviews on these click the links.
These polishes all have a very similar formula aside from some differences in opacity. Easy to use, not too thick or thin so as to cause pooling or pulling. Appropriate dry time, no need to worry about overworking your coats yet dries quickly once you finish painting. All were easy to remove and didn't require any scrubbing. As usual I adore the rounded brush, I'm pretty much spoiled by it and have to practice patience now when I paint with any other brush. I unfortunately didn't have time to show these with matte topcoat. I've photographed in various natural light sources and under my full spectrum T5 bulbs. Shown with glossy topcoat although they all dry glossy on their own. If you loved RIP These Fish In Particular then these flakie multichromes are for you! Check out their non flakie counterparts here. Well, 3 of 4.
New scents available in most products:
Bad Apple-Smells of all things apple and spice, perfect for fall.
Gorgon's Revenge-rich pistachio macarons mingle with a hint of dry tobacco and bayleaf. It's how I imagine Medusa's cave would smell.
Lure-If you've ever wanted to smell like a Siren from Greek myth, this is the scent for you: fresh sea air mingles with a hint of tropical fruits.
Forest Hag-smells of cinnamon and spice, brown sugar and pumpkin, and a hint of crisp fall air.
Witch Better Have My Candy-all things candy with notes of gingerbread
I received Forest Hag, which indeed smells of all things Fall and Lure which is fresh and sweet.
