THEFACESHOP: GR501 and 02 Vanilla Sugar Yogurt

Last week, I went to a mall that isn't very close to my house but accessible and I found that THEFACESHOP has opened in Toronto.  THEFACESHOP has bought Fruits & Passion, so some of the F&P stores have been converted to THEFACESHOP.  Right now until October 20th, there is some sale going on so it's like spend $15 save $5, $25 save $10, and $35 save $15.  Since there's a special going on, I kind of ended up going there twice and I picked up some paper masks, face washes, face cream and two nail polishes.  I don't think BB or CC creams were included but I'm still using the BB creams I have already, so I wasn't interested in buying any more.  

I just want to say that I'm so happy that THEFACESHOP has opened up besides the one at Pacific Mall.  I rarely go there, and it's inconvenient for me, but now there are at least two that are in a pretty convenient location.  Also, I don't have to eBay any of these products anymore.  

GR501

02 Vanilla Sugar Yogurt

The colours are very pretty and cute.  There's a pretty diverse range of colours.  I noticed that besides the pastel colours, there are dark colours.  I decided that since I am on a never ending quest of buying mint or baby blues, I would pick a mint colour.  There might be an actual name to this colour besides GR501, but I took off the top sticker.  I also bought the vanilla sugar yogurt because it was different.  There was a yellow, blue and pink one.  The yellow was really nice and cute but this vanilla sugar reminded me of mint chip, but the chips were multi-coloured, or at least a peppermint ice cream.

Thoughts
The formula is medium thick.  Both applied very nicely after two coats.  I found that it took a while to dry but this is because the formula is thicker than Essie or OPI (which are my usually polishes).  Any more layers and I think the polish will come off really thick .  I just also want to say that Vanilla Sugar was so beautiful after two coats.  I found that the brush was very easy to maneuver, so I didn't end up painting on my skin as I would with a bigger brush.  GR501 is $3 and 02 Vanilla Sugar Yogurt is $4 for 10 mL, which is very well priced.  During the Store Opening special, it's even cheaper! (EDIT: I checked my receipt and Vanilla Sugar Yogurt is $3, so GR501 must be $2.  I remember that GR501 was $1 less.)
