One of my favorite nail polishes at the moment comes from an unlikely place: Payless! As I reported earlier, Payless has launched its own beauty line including nail polish by Unforgettable Moments. I picked up a bottle of Sugar Plum ($2.99), a deep purple polish with a classic high gloss finish, and I absolutely love it! Picture the deepest purple hue in a slice of blueberry pie, and that's the color you'll get with this polish.

Payless shoe stores recently launched an affordable line of makeup and beauty products under the names zoe&zac naturals and Unforgettable Moments, and yesterday I checked them out in person for the first time. I have to say, my expectations were pretty low so I was pleasantly surprised by the chic display, lovely packaging, tasteful colors and light fragrances. A friendly salesperson informed me that the Payless BOGO sale (buy one, get one half off) applies to makeup, too, so I scooped up a bottle of Unforgettable Moments nail polish ($2.99) in Sugar Plum, a deep almost-black purple shade, and a zoe&zac lip shimmer ($3.99) in Sunset, a subtle bronze-pink lipstick/gloss, for a grand total of $5.81. So far, I'm really liking both products (shocking, right?) but I'll write more detailed reviews in a couple days. With most items priced under $20, I can't wait to try more products from both lines.
