Cover Girl Value Set

I found this awesome set at Kmart on clearance ($4.99). You get a 

full size "Clump Crusher" Lash 

Blast Mascara in black, a full size "perfect point plus" 

self-sharpening eye pencil in black onyx, and a 

 fairly big sample size of the "truMAGIC" skin perfector mattifier. I 

am a big fan of primes and this 

one is really nice! It goes on smoothly and then dries to a silky 

feeling, clear powder. It works great 

and I plan on buying a full sized one . I am not sure where else you 

can fins this. but if you happen  to 

 

see it when you are out shopping, you should grab one ( or 

two)..This is a remarkable deal.The 

mascara alone costs more than what you pay for all 3 of these 

products!

Urban Decay products $5-$7 !! (& free shipping!!)

  I have discovered the best place ever to get pretty much anything you want!http://www.aliexpress.com/...I buy almost all of my makeup from them now.It is so inexpensive that it just seems stupid to go anywhere else. Unless I want Kat Von D makeup- they don't carry her products yet.
  It does take alot longer than ordering from Sephora, because everything is shipped from China. Personally, I think it is worth the wait when you figure out how much you save!!
 Today I received 4 Urban Decay products: Naked 3 Extra Length Mascara (black), Naked 2 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner(black), Naked Palette(12 colors), & Naked 2 Palette(12 colors)..altogether they cost less than $25!!Retail cost of these items:mascara:$20, eyeliner:$19,Naked Palette:$54, & Naked2 Palette:$54. So the total for all of them would be $147!!! ..definitely worth waiting a few weeks to be able to save $122!!
 Urban Decay is not the only brand available on this site. They have MAC, NARS, Dior,Benefit, Too Faced, Tarte..and so many more. You have got to check it out for yourself!They also sell clothes, electronics, etc...
 So, go check them out and have fun!! Make sure you knwo where your debit card is- you're gonna need it!!:-)

24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner $5.69

Naked 3 Extra Length Mascara $5.09

NAKED Palette $7.79

Naked2 Palette $7.06

 




I never thought I would own one of these palettes, Definitely never imagined owning all of them!!(the Naked 3 palette should be here any day now!) I hope you all find something you really want too! Happy Shopping!! :-)

BirchBox

  I am trying a new monthly subscription box. ..BirchBox.

It is rated as one of the top beauty subscription boxes, and it is only $10 a month.Each month you will get 5 deluxe size beauty samples.They send high-end products, too. Looking through pics of past boxes, I see NARS in quite a few of them..They seem to send a good variety of products, and definitely always worth the $10.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another thing I like about BirchBox is the rewards system:

• Sign up for a Birchbox membership — you earn 110 points for a yearly subscription, 10 for a monthly subscription
• Shop, shop — every time you purchase a full-size product from our Shop or a gift membership, you earn 1 point for every $1 spent
• Refer friends — earn 50 points for every friend that signs up for Birchbox
• Fill out product feedback surveys — Birchbox members earn 10 points for each completed product feedback survey (look for the feedback icon on every product detail page). Only products sampled through Birchbox are eligible for feedback points.
•  For every 100 points you earn, you’ll get a $10 reward to spend on Birchbox.com. The rewards are redeemable towards purchases of full-size products

Amazon "Hard Candy" Haul

I am always looking for a good deal on makeup. I have been shopping at Amazon for years- it is where I got about 90& of my movies, video games, and toys for my son. Recently I was looking around on there and I noticed they had "Wholesale cosmetics Lots" so, of course, I checked it out. I was a little leery, because it did not tell you what you would be getting. It simply said mixed lot, no duplicates.I thought I would probably end up with a bunch of makeup in colors/products no one would ever wear, but they had one for $10, with free shipping. SO I decided it was worth the risk just to see...
 It took a little longer than most items on Amazon do to get to me, but once I got it I was really surprised, and very happy with what I received in the box!It was supposed to be 10 items, but I actually got 12, so that was a nice surprise!
Here is what I got:
mascara in electric blue
mascara in black
1 nail polish-gray with black specks
bronzer/highlighter stick
loose body glitter (pink)
eyeshadow glitter (light green)
baked eyeshadow in a gorgeous chocolate brown/bronze color (sparkly)
cream eyeshadow tube ("Eye Def") in a light blue
plumping lipgloss
"lip def" tube in bronze
..and last, but not least: my favorite product: concealer/corrector palette with 6 shades, including 3 skin tones, yellow, green, and a pink/lilac. comes with an attached, covered applicator

After I saw what I ha received, I immediately went right back to Amazon and ordered a lot of 25 items from the same seller (Bozley's Bargains)..I will be posting about that one as soon as I receive it!
I guess it pays to take a chance once on awhile after all!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara

 I have been wanting this mascara for a very long time, but couldn't see spending $23 on any mascara. I have always been a drugstore makeup kind of girl. Especially mascaras.Maybelline and L'oreal both have excellent mascaras, and they are under $10. Why pay twice as much for a mascara, just because it has a fancy name?
 Well..since I have been beauty blogging, I have started getting a zillion emails every day from places like Ulta, Sephora,Urban Decay, MAC, & yes, even the elusive Too Faced. They all try to lure you in with special "sales" and Promotions. In a moment of weakeness, I clicked over to Too Faced and looked around. The only thing I saw that I really wanted was that darn mascara. And it was, of course, on sale. I probably went back and forth for 3 days before finally deciding that it would greatly benefit my blog to step away from my norm and try something new. So I bought it. My first high-end mascara EVER.

I had it for a few days before trying it. I am not sure if I was afraid I would be disappointed,and feel like I wasted money,or that I would LOVE it, and never want to go back to my drugstore mascaras.
The brush is hourglass shaped-which is really unique. Well, it was until Covergirl came out with their "Flamed Out" mascara, which is getting great reviews and seems really similar to BTS.The formula is really thick and very black. I didn't curl my lashes at all, and I could tell right away that it added curl. It also gave them alot of volume, but I have never been a fan of volume,since it almost always ends up clumpy.This mascara is no exception.It did add a good amount of length to my lashes too, but by the time they were as long as I wanted, they were really clumpy.
I don't hate this mascara-if I take the time to separate my lashes after each application I think it would look really good.I won't ever buy it again, though.Honestly, even on sale, this mascara is not worth the money.I would much rather use my drugstore stand-bys.None of them ever made my lashes clumpy and added a great deal more length.
At least now I know how I feel about this mascara. And, who knows-maybe I won't ever feel the need to roam from my good old cheap mascaras again.:-)
