Girly Bits August 2016 Colour of the Month Duo Swatches & Review

Hi there! Today I have the new Colour of the Month shades from Canadian indie brand Girly Bits for the month of August. These shades are limited and only available in their release month. Last month's shades were to die for, so I was super stoked to be able to try out more!

Press Sample

Sun Dog is a light golden copper "shimmolo" (shimmer holographic) with bronze micro flakes and copper shimmer. This applied amazingly well, super buttery easy formula. Opaque in just two coats. Really stunning and sophisticated with a hint of bling!

Dancing In The Moonlight is an über saturated mid tone blue low density holo with a pink flash and green shimmer. This has absolutely gallons of shimmer, which seemed to have sunk to the bottom of my bottle upon arrival. I let it sit upside down for a good half hour before I applied it and that did the trick. Good formula, not too thick or difficult to apply at all. Two coats here. No staining to report, which is lovely. This is much more complex looking in real life, it's a must have!

These two shades launch for pre-order on the Girly Bits website on August 6th through the 10th. They are $16.50 CAD each, or buy both for $31 CAD and save (only during pre-order). Anyone who misses out on the pre-order will have another chance to buy them starting August 24th, then they will be available until stock is gone or until the last day of the month, whichever is first. What do you think of this duo? I'm head over heels!

Girly Bits June and July 2016 Colour of the Month Series Swatches & Review

Today I have two duos from Canadian indie brand Girly Bits Cosmetics, the June and July editions from their Colour of the Month series. Let's take a look!

Press Sample

First up for June is Here's Lagoon Atcha, a bright aqua turquoise-y crème. This was thin but pretty pigmented. I used three coats here, but I could almost get away with two. This is a great shade for spring and summer. Probably fall and winter too. It's just a good one, trust me.

Peach Slapped is a near neon peach crème. The formula on this was thin too, which I wasn't expecting because most polishes I've tried in this shade are quite thick. Another one I could almost get away with two coats on, but I needed three for 100% coverage. I love this tone of orange!

The June Colour of the Month duo will be for available for a very limited amount of time, from July 5th to July 10th only. The promo price for purchasing the duo is $31 CAD, or $16.50 CAD each.

For July we have Sun's Out Buns Out, a bright dolly fluorescent pink low-density holographic with gallons of gold shimmer and glass fleck. I'm obsessed with glass fleck and gold shimmer is bae, so this polish is insanely great to me! Super easy to apply formula, opaque on two coats. It was hard for me to get my photo to show actually how amazing it is, so you'll just have to take my word for it! (Or look at other, better swatches of it haha.)

No Tan Lines is a medium orange low-medium density holographic with coral undertones filled with red shimmer and gold glass fleck. Well squeeze my oranges, gold glass fleck might even be better than gold shimmer! I'm floored at how much I love this duo. (I'm actually wearing them both right now!) Same great application as the pink, opaque in two coats.

The July Colour of the Month duo first launches on July 5th through the 10th for the promo price of $31 CAD or $16.50 CAD each. The second launch will be on July 24th through July 30th (or until sold out) with limited quantities for $16.50 CAD each.

If you haven't heard, there is a postal issue in Canada right now. So with GB Cosmetics being in Canada, they have figured out a way around that by sending to a third-party shipper for US and international customers. It's a bit more complicated for Canadian buyers, you either can choose to have your order ship after the postal strike is over, or to fetch courier rates to ship sooner. With this issue, turnaround times are a little longer than usual, so let's all cross our fingers for a quick resolution! Regardless, you can order these from the Girly Bits website right now! Let me know what you think of these gorgeous shades!
