I cannot say enough good things about ILNP. I wish I could own EVERY shade they have. Their customer service is simply the best in the business as well. Thanks for sharing your haul :)
Someone in the ILNP group on Facebook recommended using the Mooncat brushes in the ILNP polishes to have a wide brush. Mooncat does sell their brushes in sets of six (and they are rewards too). So I got some and tried it and the brush fits the ILNP bottle perfectly! I prefer the wider brush so this was such a win!
omg thats soo funny to think the mooncat brushes fit, idk if my brain can get past the caps being mismatched like that LOL but i do appreciate you recommending bc the mooncat brush is really nice!! i’ve heard Cupcake Polish sells replacement brushes that fit into ILNP’s, but I think I’m gonna hold out hope for ILNP to jump on the brush replacement bandwagon 😝
@@PolishedYogi I pull out the ILNP brushes and swap them out with the Cupcake Polish brush so you have the ILNP cap still! Can confirm it works great (but thanks to this comment thread, I might try the Mooncat brush next!)
Some of my favorite older ILNP collections would be summer ultra holos 2018, sugar lush collection, summer feels collection, & the all nighter collection! I also love sweet pea, rosewater, & dream girl :) I think you’d like them too!
omg those are such amazing collections!! YES Dream Girl was another one I was eyeing lol! I thought it might be a little too similar to mooncats not today satan, so I’ll probably hold off on it for now. but I always get recs for Sweet Pea and Rosewater too!! 🤩💖
yay so glad you enjoyed! and yeah definitely, i think it’s easier to filter either by entire collections or your fav finish/color, but theres still a lot! 😅 i think they also have a comparison feature on their website thats really cool though. also i know you meant wishlist, but woahlist sounds appropriate too, bc sometimes its so long you’re like woah 😝🤣
@@PolishedYogi lol it’s appropriate for sure! One of the reasons these videos are so helpful is because I’ve found the website swatches to not always be the most reliable, as you’ve pointed out with the periwinkle shade. I often have to spend a good chunk of time verifying my wishlist against Insta (and hoping people tag things properly there) and general google searches.
that’s true too! sometimes there’s some inaccuracies, when it comes to Bulletproof Symphony I don’t remember how it looked in other swatches so i’ll have to find them, but so far that seems to have been the only polish I had an issue with re color accuracy. at least they aren’t as bad as Cirque for example lol 🙈
wow Lilac Bridges is a HUGE win, it looks soo similar to the idealised Cirque photo! love that for you 😆 i LOVE that ILNP keeps its shades and all in stock. no grief or anxiety there. My first shade from them was Mega like 6 yrs ago (and the polish itself remains good as new in the bottle!) - it satisfied my years-long craving for holo so well, i never bought another holo shade 🤣 i notice ur haul this time around seem very wintery! im alr excited for ur ILNP BF haul this yr 😂 and what ILNP has in store for us (esp the Halloween collection!! 😈)
haha right!! i just about squealed in excitement seeing how it compared to the photos lol sooo happy!! I appreciate you being excited for me lol 🤗 and yes sameee, idk how they do it bc they definitely are a popular brand lol I feel like I’ve never even seen anything sell out before, but i’m not complaining 😝 and lmao I love that Mega is THE only holo you need!! that’s generally how i feel about holos and especially toppers, if i have one already i don’t really need another one until I run out lol. so whenever I run out of my silver holo i’ll have to get Mega! and yess I originally had I think just 1 brighter shade in my wishlist, but then I was like ok this does not fit with the rest, so i’ll save it for later when I wanna order more brights lol! I don’t order from ILNP often so i’m hoping i’ll get that fabled “we miss you” email that includes a discount so i can shop again 🤣 but definitelyyy already so excited to see what they give us this year!!
i've had vanity and carrie in my cart for a few weeks now and i think this video might be what finally convinces me to pull the plug on buying them! the only ilnp i currently own is hallucinate (which i LOVE) but i've been waffling over what my next shades should be... i got a gift card for the holidays so now i know what to spend it on ☺ i'm sure i speak for a lot of us when i say THANK YOU for all the effort you put into these swatching videos!!
omg Hallucinate is amazing and i love that Vanity & Carrie are similar~ ish to it with the red and purple haha! they sound like they’d make such a fun skittle, ahh I’m sure you’re going to love them!! 😁 and aww thank you soo much!! that really means so much to hear 🥹 it really means a lot that my videos are actually helpful haha 🤗
The Ultra Metallics will all tarnish over time. Bulletproof Symphony is a perfect example. When I first purchased it, it definitely looked like the website photos but now it looks like the bottle you received. I stopped buying them because of the tarnishing issue.
ahh so its similar to what happens with Holo Taco’s Frosted Metals.. that’s a bummer! but totally makes sense because I swear my bottle of Juliette looks a lot darker like a bronze than the coppery rose gold it used to be 😣
i love your channel sm 🥺and your nail shape! you lowkey inspired me to back to an oval/almond shape from square and man is it so much more flattering lol
aw thank you!! that’s so sweet :) I actually always used to hav short squoval nails, but wanted to try growing them out during the pandemic lol I’ve always loved how elegant oval/almond shapes looked! I do personally find them to be a really flattering shape too, i’m glad you’re enjoying your new shape! 💖
I'm not even a red person and I have fallen head over heels for Joy. It is such a beautiful shade! Those jelly holos are just so stunning. I may have to add Holly to the list!
that’s exactly how I felt about Joy too!! I was like okay maybe I do like red?! it’s soo lush! 🍒 and yay for adding Holly to your wishlist, it’s suuuch a gorgeous green! I think i’d love it in the fall too 🌲
By Nightfall reminds me of Cold Shoulder by HT. HT retired the shade because of what the flakes to do the color over time. My ILMP wishlist is their 9-5 collection. They're gorgeous, nude, scattered holo polishes. I need them! 😍
wait but you mean after Cold Shoulder changed color right? I thought the original color was supposed to be much brighter/lighter? but omg yess the 9-5 collection is soo gorgeous too! I love sparkly neutrals so much
@PolishedYogi Cold Shoulder was somewhere between Shady Navy & Roal Tea Blue when it was fresh. Now....not so much. Mine is pretty muddy. I can see why they retired the shade. Sparkly neutrals is how I got the rules for nail polish essentially dropped at my job. 😁 they said neutrals only without saying anything about toppers, glitter, or nail art. They were sick of printing new dress code manuals bc of one petty person. 🤣
What a great haul! I was looking at daydreamer just today, wondering how it compares to Fake Date and if I should give it a try.. I even searched on your channel for a comparison and now here it is in your latest video! :) Wonderful and helpful video as always.
thank you! so glad you enjoyed and found this helpful, especially for the Fake Date + Daydreamer comparison. It was heartbreaking finalizing this video bc when I first started filming it, Fake Date was not being retired lol how quickly things can change 😭💖
omg amazing!! ♥️✨ it really is sooo pretty! and lol yeah I really hope they switch over to the paddle brushes they have in their cremes!! they’re just soo much better 🙈
So happy you like Bloodline!!! I recommended it. As far as older collections, the Summer Nights collection has always caught my eye and I like a lot of the hatched collection. Fall into Equinox, 9 to 5 and Sugar Lush also make me curious. I really want the overcast collection that they just released. So perfect for winter into spring.
ahh THANK YOU!!! I was trying to hard to find the original comment, I should’ve taken a screenshot or something lol but I appreciate it soo much because i absolutely adoreee this shade!!
I bought Holly during the BF sale, along with a lot from the 2023 holiday collection. But wow, I must have forgotten about Vanity and Carrie. Those two just went right on my wish list. Lilac Bridges has been on my radar for years, but I never bought it. I'll have to change that. It's beautiful.
omg yay for also picking up Holly!! and yay for also wishlisting Carrie and Vanity, aren’t they stunning?! I lovee these darker sparkly shades from them so much hehe. i hope you’ll grab Lilac Bridges soon too!! it was such a pleasant surprise 🥰
yay so awesome to hear that!! I forgot to mention in my video it was between that and Say Love which I think is another popular ILNP red, but I loveddd all the photos I’ve seen of Carrie being a little darker and 🫦 lol! so glad to hear it was perfect for the holidays too! :)
You just recently added Lila Bridges to my already long ILNP Wishlist. You prevented me to don’t get Fata Morgana. I truly appreciate that I don’t have to deal with FOMO and have a more relaxing purchase experience with this brand. Now I wanna re-watch this video. Because I enjoy your ILNP videos and I hope they send you all of the collections for this year and maybe old collections as well (please ILNP marketing team, read this).
i’m so glad you really liked Lilac Bridges too! esp if you were eyeing Fata Morgana, I’m glad some people had good bottles but I think it’s too risky to take the chance and buy it if it might come faded :( and yes for sure!! I love that ILNP has a pretty regular release schedule, and no LE polishes/collections! 🙌🏼 haha I would LOVE if they sent me more of their older collections too!! They have such classics in their catalogue. but also hoping to share new shades as well 😉
Nice haul! Set Sail will definitely be in my next haul! It will be unique in my collection & the jelly formula is my favorite! Seriously thinking of adding Bloodline, too.
Really pretty haul! So glad you finally got your Fata Morgana colors!! If you like soft colors in the metallic flakie formula I would recommend Mila it is quite unique and if you like purples I was really pleasantly surprised at how beautiful Purple Plasma was. It is more of a summer color, though.💜
So happy you liked Lilac Bridges! Finally you are closer to what you expected Fata Morgana to be. I do liked the ILNP foil metallic formula. I have a couple, including a Black Friday purchase of Good as Gold from the Golden Hour collection. They seem to have more base color than HT. Thanks as always for all the work that goes into filming comparisons!
Daydreamer, Bloodline, Bulletproof Symphony (😮💨), By Nightfall (😮💨 it is deep space), Holly (😮💨😮💨omg) and Lilac Bridges are my favorites. You have me excited to see what ILNP drops this year! Thank you (as always😊😊) for the beautiful swatches and comparisons💕💃🏿
yess total deep space vibes!! and I had a feeling you’d love Holly haha so glad to hear those were your favorites!! and I’m glad you’re excited too!! I’ve been sharing an ILNP video every week for the past several weeks and was hoping it wasn’t too much lol 🤣 thank you friend!!
Bloodline is on my wishlist. I'm going to need to add Lilac Bridges. So pretty! Also thanks for showing Fake Date. I did think it was a purple. I ordered it when Christine announced the retirement.
you’re going to love both!! so happy they’re on your wishlist hehe. and yess I think I did a comparison of Fake Date next to ILNP’s Smitten from 2022 I think, I thought they’d be exact dupes but was surprised to see Fake Date was actually pink :) i’m glad you ordered it!! it’s soo pretty
Wonderful video and comparisons, as always! Lilac Bridges hops on and off my wishlist quit often but this may have convinced me to pick it up. Older ILNP favs for me would be Sandy Baby (2016) and Better Days (no idea on release date). I would repurchase either of these if I ever ran out, they are some of my favorites in my whole collection of polishes. I was wondering if you did a comparison between Set Sail and Cirque’s Sapphire? I imagined it would be a bit like the Vanity and Amethyst comparison, similar color but with slightly different sparkle?
thank you so much! ahh yeah i can see what you mean haha, i did have some concerns when i first opened it up, but i was pleasantly surprised by how much i liked it :) ooh Sandy Baby is pretty! and especially love the base color of Better Days too 😍 but no I didn’t end up grabbing Sapphire from Cirque so I’m not quite sure how close they’d be color wise, but yeah the holo flakie particle would definitely be different 😅
I'm always down for an ILNP haul and you picked some beauties! Carrie, Joy, and Daydreamer are def. on my loooong ILNP wishlisht, but thanks to your great comparisons, I now see some dupes for the Cirque's Facets I missed so...here I go putting more polishes on the list 😂If it's pinks/purples you like have you tried Dream Girl? I'm not the biggest linear holo fan (scatter all the way) but that one gleams and shifts even in low/poor light. I love it. I FINALLY got Fairy Dust and Pixie Party 🧚🏽♀after lusting for months by way of combining points and a coupon, basically got one polish free --- oh, that's the other great thing about them is their rewards! 🥰
hehe thank youu!! so fun to hear a few of these have been on your wishlist too, and ahh lol sorry to add even more, but at least now you know they’re different! 🤣 i haven’t tried Dream Girl but its always one I hear about! it really does look so pretty. i’m team scattered holo too and since i already have Mooncat’s Not Today Satan as my light pink linear holo, i feel like i don’t neeed~ another lol but maybe in the future 😝 but omg YAY for finally grabbing Fairy Dust & Pixie Party !! esp shopping with your rewards points too, we love that! 💃🏻🤩✨
ooooeeeoooo! posted 59 seconds ago! I did a quick skim and I'm panicking because it looks like I own none of these ILNP shades and I think Nov 2024 in ten month is going to be another big haul. 🤣
omg so fast!! haha 🤗 but oh noo no need to panic 😝 I’m sure they will be worth the wait, but would love to know which ones of these speak to you the most!
it's as I feared! Daydreamer because I'm a pink lover too and By nightfall. i ended with with LULU (hehe) during last BF and it's a mix between Set Sail and Vanity so I'm good there. I know I'll always choose the color with my name. Holly is also tempting ooof@@PolishedYogi
Recently had a mini haul of ILNP to get a few spring shades and round out what I was missing from the resort collection (currently sporting a gradient of Snowstorm and Aspen with ❄️ stamping!) after someone convinced me! 😜 I wanted to try and hold out to see if they were gonna do a Valentine’s Day release but alas…self control wasn’t there 😅
ahh how fun! I JUST did a gradient with Aspen and Snowstorm the other day, but haven’t posted it yet! the snowflake stamping on top sounds sooo perfect!! ❄️ but i’m glad you ended up rounding out your Winter Resort collection hehe it really is soooo beautiful!! and oh noo, I’m definitely expecting a Valentine’s Day release after they did one last year! 👀💌
I’m glad you got justice for Fata Morgana! Lilac bridges looks wayyy closer to the photos. I have so many on my ILNP wish list, one of them being Dreamscape from the Cloud 9 collection… now I’m worried tho it may have formula issues. 😬 I’ll Probably still try it. ❤
i was sooo happy lol!! 🥹 it still makes me wonder how they would actually compare, like some people mentioned their Fata Morgana is still purple and wasn’t faded like mine. I thinkk Cirque’s has more of a holo sparkle, but I feel like I kind of saw it in ILNP too! and yeahh I really had the Dreamscape set on my wishlist for a while but I’ve heard mixed reviews about the formulas.. I definitely think it’ll still be worth trying, worst case scenario if you aren’t happy, i’m sure ILNP would refund you or send a replacement!
I purchased Bloodline based on another of your videos. Excited to try it! I enjoyed Iconic as a pretty holiday gold and enjoyed Sled Day too. Prancer is a great neutral. I wore it over Thanksgiving because I did much cooking and needed something that could take a beating and still look nice. My last purchased and yet to try is Aspen. Oh, and I bought and love Ballet Slipper. It looks a bit warmer and more neutral than a lot of the photos I’ve seen but it’s pretty. Definitely keeping an eye on this brand.
omg yay! i hope you love it as much as i do, its sooo pretty!! & OMG Iconic looks beautifuuul! i might need to put that on my wishlist for next BF lol Prancer looks so cool too, do you think it leans almost tooo gray though? or is it an actual taupey shade? it looks pretty either way i think but i worry how it’ll look on me haha. Ballet Slipper also looks soo pretty! interesting to hear its a little warmer than pics, but good to hear its still pretty! i really hope you get to wear Aspen soon!! its a must for the season hehe 🤩✨
@@PolishedYogi I just looked back at my photos, Prancer looks pretty cool toned beige to me. It doesn’t seem gray. So hard to tell with different lightings. Really loving this brand.
I'm surprised you needed more than 2 coats for Set Sail! I have the whole At Sea collection and I love Set Sail (and pssst,Carried Away in the collection is a ... PERIWINKLE ... color). I still think you would really enjoy Sandcastle from ILNP...a lovely taupe. It's not "exciting" compared to some of the punchier colors you got, but Sandcastle is handsdown my favorite neutral. Lilac Bridges in interesting!
i know me too! maybe i just did a thinner first or second coat than i usually do lol. but omg i loveee the At Sea Collection!! such a beautiful line up, i’ve learned that i am such a sucker for pink and blue together haha. i def had my eyes on Carried Away too!! 🙈 oo Sandcastle looks interesting! I feel like I normally don’t go for taupey shades like that but the gold flakes in it are stunning! i’m glad you thought Lilac Bridges was interesting too :)
Hi Stef! My favorite red was Essie's With the band, it's like a red with a little bit of brown. Of course they're not selling it anymore! Do you know any polishes that might be similar to it? ❤
Hi hi! I sadly don’t own that one (or many Essie’s 😅) so I feel like I can’t help, maybe you can reach out to Brandi from livwithbiv or Larissa from polish.lab.rat, Brandi has a lot of essie and Larissa does comparisons often on her IG! I hope they can help you can find something similar ♥️
I appreciate companies that don’t discontinue shades super quickly. Fairy Dust and Copper Top are on ILNP my wishlist.
same!! idk how they do it lol it’s impressive 🙌🏼 i hope you grab those soon enough 🤗
i looooove this about them. i can build my cart over several months and not worry
Same! And when they did discontinue stuff, we had plenty of chances to still grab the ones we wanted. Really loved that ❤❤
I cannot say enough good things about ILNP. I wish I could own EVERY shade they have. Their customer service is simply the best in the business as well. Thanks for sharing your haul :)

you’re going to love both!! so happy they’re on your wishlist hehe. and yess I think I did a comparison of Fake Date next to ILNP’s Smitten from 2022 I think, I thought they’d be exact dupes but was surprised to see Fake Date was actually pink :) i’m glad you ordered it!! it’s soo pretty
Wonderful video and comparisons, as always! Lilac Bridges hops on and off my wishlist quit often but this may have convinced me to pick it up. Older ILNP favs for me would be Sandy Baby (2016) and Better Days (no idea on release date). I would repurchase either of these if I ever ran out, they are some of my favorites in my whole collection of polishes.
I was wondering if you did a comparison between Set Sail and Cirque’s Sapphire? I imagined it would be a bit like the Vanity and Amethyst comparison, similar color but with slightly different sparkle?
thank you so much! ahh yeah i can see what you mean haha, i did have some concerns when i first opened it up, but i was pleasantly surprised by how much i liked it :) ooh Sandy Baby is pretty! and especially love the base color of Better Days too 😍
but no I didn’t end up grabbing Sapphire from Cirque so I’m not quite sure how close they’d be color wise, but yeah the holo flakie particle would definitely be different 😅
I'm always down for an ILNP haul and you picked some beauties! Carrie, Joy, and Daydreamer are def. on my loooong ILNP wishlisht, but thanks to your great comparisons, I now see some dupes for the Cirque's Facets I missed so...here I go putting more polishes on the list 😂If it's pinks/purples you like have you tried Dream Girl? I'm not the biggest linear holo fan (scatter all the way) but that one gleams and shifts even in low/poor light. I love it. I FINALLY got Fairy Dust and Pixie Party 🧚🏽♀after lusting for months by way of combining points and a coupon, basically got one polish free --- oh, that's the other great thing about them is their rewards! 🥰
hehe thank youu!! so fun to hear a few of these have been on your wishlist too, and ahh lol sorry to add even more, but at least now you know they’re different! 🤣 i haven’t tried Dream Girl but its always one I hear about! it really does look so pretty. i’m team scattered holo too and since i already have Mooncat’s Not Today Satan as my light pink linear holo, i feel like i don’t neeed~ another lol but maybe in the future 😝
but omg YAY for finally grabbing Fairy Dust & Pixie Party !! esp shopping with your rewards points too, we love that! 💃🏻🤩✨
ooooeeeoooo! posted 59 seconds ago! I did a quick skim and I'm panicking because it looks like I own none of these ILNP shades and I think Nov 2024 in ten month is going to be another big haul. 🤣
omg so fast!! haha 🤗 but oh noo no need to panic 😝 I’m sure they will be worth the wait, but would love to know which ones of these speak to you the most!
it's as I feared! Daydreamer because I'm a pink lover too and By nightfall. i ended with with LULU (hehe) during last BF and it's a mix between Set Sail and Vanity so I'm good there. I know I'll always choose the color with my name. Holly is also tempting ooof@@PolishedYogi
Recently had a mini haul of ILNP to get a few spring shades and round out what I was missing from the resort collection (currently sporting a gradient of Snowstorm and Aspen with ❄️ stamping!) after someone convinced me! 😜 I wanted to try and hold out to see if they were gonna do a Valentine’s Day release but alas…self control wasn’t there 😅
ahh how fun! I JUST did a gradient with Aspen and Snowstorm the other day, but haven’t posted it yet! the snowflake stamping on top sounds sooo perfect!! ❄️ but i’m glad you ended up rounding out your Winter Resort collection hehe it really is soooo beautiful!! and oh noo, I’m definitely expecting a Valentine’s Day release after they did one last year! 👀💌
I’m glad you got justice for Fata Morgana! Lilac bridges looks wayyy closer to the photos. I have so many on my ILNP wish list, one of them being Dreamscape from the Cloud 9 collection… now I’m worried tho it may have formula issues. 😬 I’ll
Probably still try it. ❤
i was sooo happy lol!! 🥹 it still makes me wonder how they would actually compare, like some people mentioned their Fata Morgana is still purple and wasn’t faded like mine. I thinkk Cirque’s has more of a holo sparkle, but I feel like I kind of saw it in ILNP too! and yeahh I really had the Dreamscape set on my wishlist for a while but I’ve heard mixed reviews about the formulas.. I definitely think it’ll still be worth trying, worst case scenario if you aren’t happy, i’m sure ILNP would refund you or send a replacement!
I purchased Bloodline based on another of your videos. Excited to try it! I enjoyed Iconic as a pretty holiday gold and enjoyed Sled Day too. Prancer is a great neutral. I wore it over Thanksgiving because I did much cooking and needed something that could take a beating and still look nice. My last purchased and yet to try is Aspen. Oh, and I bought and love Ballet Slipper. It looks a bit warmer and more neutral than a lot of the photos I’ve seen but it’s pretty. Definitely keeping an eye on this brand.
omg yay! i hope you love it as much as i do, its sooo pretty!! & OMG Iconic looks beautifuuul! i might need to put that on my wishlist for next BF lol Prancer looks so cool too, do you think it leans almost tooo gray though? or is it an actual taupey shade? it looks pretty either way i think but i worry how it’ll look on me haha. Ballet Slipper also looks soo pretty! interesting to hear its a little warmer than pics, but good to hear its still pretty! i really hope you get to wear Aspen soon!! its a must for the season hehe 🤩✨
@@PolishedYogi I just looked back at my photos, Prancer looks pretty cool toned beige to me. It doesn’t seem gray. So hard to tell with different lightings. Really loving this brand.
It's rare that I don't have polish on my nails but I don't right now and you've made me get my Lilac Bridges out haha
its such a pretty shade!! so happy with it :)
Carrie is one of my favorites
its suchh a great red! so happy to finally have it 🤩♥️✨
I'm surprised you needed more than 2 coats for Set Sail! I have the whole At Sea collection and I love Set Sail (and pssst,Carried Away in the collection is a ... PERIWINKLE ... color). I still think you would really enjoy Sandcastle from ILNP...a lovely taupe. It's not "exciting" compared to some of the punchier colors you got, but Sandcastle is handsdown my favorite neutral. Lilac Bridges in interesting!
i know me too! maybe i just did a thinner first or second coat than i usually do lol. but omg i loveee the At Sea Collection!! such a beautiful line up, i’ve learned that i am such a sucker for pink and blue together haha. i def had my eyes on Carried Away too!! 🙈 oo Sandcastle looks interesting! I feel like I normally don’t go for taupey shades like that but the gold flakes in it are stunning! i’m glad you thought Lilac Bridges was interesting too :)
Uh oh! I need all of these.
haha so glad you love them all too! 🙈
Lilac bridges is Sand Viper by Mooncat!!! I just watched that video and realized immediately. Can you make a short maybe comparing those 2?
they’re actually pretty different! but yes I can do a little comparison video to show you! :)
Hi Stef! My favorite red was Essie's With the band, it's like a red with a little bit of brown. Of course they're not selling it anymore! Do you know any polishes that might be similar to it? ❤
Hi hi! I sadly don’t own that one (or many Essie’s 😅) so I feel like I can’t help, maybe you can reach out to Brandi from livwithbiv or Larissa from polish.lab.rat, Brandi has a lot of essie and Larissa does comparisons often on her IG! I hope they can help you can find something similar ♥️
@@PolishedYogi Thank you! I will ask ❤
Can you do Rogue Laquer or Cirque Colors next? 💜💙💚
I’m not currently looking to do any more haul videos (for now!) but I have a tonnn of Cirque videos on my channel already! :)
ILNP has awesome shades and a vast collection. I think I have two of their polishes lol
they really do!! its honestly impressive haha. which 2 do you have?
i have black orchid and cygnus loop :) @@PolishedYogi
Fata Morgana from Cirque wasn't as lavender lilac as that photo 😢
i know!! my bottle was like.. a greige color 😣 I wanted what was in the photo though so Lilac Bridges is a great match for me at least lol 💜
Id love to hunt ILNP with you ❤👍🏼
yesss it would be so fun!
