So I popped by the shops yesterday evening and had a look at some of the new polishes on the shelves this week! Sorry for the lack of pictures! I dropped by after going for a run and did not have any picture-taking devices handy.
The main point of this post was to mention the Savvy polishes that are currently available for $2.99 in Priceline! The display was labelled as limited edition but there was plenty of bottles available. There were cremes and shimmers, but the glitters were really noteworthy because they were really shameless dupes of Sally Hansen Gem Crush!

The glitter combinations are exactly the same! Frostbite is fine silver glitter with slightly larger blue glitter. Ginger Ale is fine gold glitter with slightly larger palest lavender glitter.

Priceline also has the new double-ended Essence polishes up and the display I saw was pretty much still completely full. They were mostly a creme polish on one end and a sheer shimmer topcoat on the other. It looks fairly interesting but I bought a bunch of shimmer topcoats while I was in Japan and didn't end up getting any.
Did anyone else pick up any of these dupes? Jme and I will have to do a dupe comparison post one day with the Sally Hansen Gem Crush vs Savvy glitters!
Weren't the Gem Crushes mostly dupes of the China Glaze Eye Candy collection though?

They are! I probably should've mentioned that! Since China Glaze isn't available in Australian drugstores like Sally Hansen and Savvy are, I decided not to include it in the price comparison.
DeleteWow Essence is now sold in Priceline!? I must check that out asap!
ReplyDeleteGo go go! When I saw them, they were just put on a Revlon (or maybe Max Factor.. I don't quite remember) shelf.. they hadn't even switched all the Revlon advertising for the Essence ones!
DeleteI bought a bunch of the Savvy glitters from Priceline too. I was actually going to buy the Sally Hansen Showgirl Chic until I saw Savvy Frostbite a little further up the aisle :-)
