Who is ready for the Holidays?? Well many retailers are and the great thing is that we do not have to wait for Black Friday to take advantage of these sales.
Urban Decay, one of my favorite beauty brands, is having its winter Family and Friends sale. Code FNFW1 to get 30% off your ENTIRE order – now 11/9 - 11/20 2009 on your favorite Urban Decay items. I recommend the eye shadows, eye liners and mascaras. Urban Decay always has new products, give them a try!! Great products.
Hautelook has Shu Uemura beauty products on sale for 39 hours starting 11 AM EST today.
I am sure there will be more sales to come and I will keep you posted.
I know, I know there have been many Beauty Friends and Family sales going for the last couple weeks. Well, there are more sales going on now.
My favorite Beauty.com is having a 20% off Friends and Family Sale, now until 11/6/2009 11:59 PST. FYI, NARS Holiday Collection is now available on Beauty.com. The great thing about Beauty.com is the 5% rebate that can be earned on each order. I also use Ebates to earn an extra 6% rebate on my order. The cool thing about Ebates is that I get cash back i.e a check. I amazed amazed at how many Beauty e-tailers offer rebates through Ebates.
Also Makeup.com is having a 50% off sale (Coupon Code is 50OFF) on the Boutique Brands and 70% Off (Coupon Code is 70OFF) on the Prestige Brands until Sunday, 11/8/2009. Please note that only items that have the coupon code near the price listing is on sale. Ebates offers a 9% rebate on all Makeup.com purchases. So stock up on the favorite beauty goodies. ….Maybe get some gifts for the upcoming holiday season.
I am really enamored with Young Punk m/es to the point that I compare everything to it. So I noticed that the Black Violet side of NARS Brousse has tiny flecks of pinkish/purple glitter. I thought, “Wow, this color looks like it could be Young Punk’s distant relative.”
I really got frustrated with this duo until I decided to use the Black Violet side all over the eye and used the Sable (brownish-taupe side) underneath the highlight color.
FYI, the lip color is really not that red.

Benefits Cosmetics will be on HSN, Wednesday, October 28 (7am and 7pm) (EDT) as well as Thursday, October 29 (2am, 4pm, 8pm) (EDT). I am fan of Benefit. I do love the creaseless cream eyeshadows/liners.
These duds, from Pantene, Suave, Tresemme and more, left our readers high and dry (or greasy, ew!)
Sure, all the shampoos on this list are cheap, but even if something doesn’t cost much, it should still work, right? We know there are awesome drugstore shampoos out there, so really the ones on this list have no excuse. Save your money (even if you do have a coupon) and skip these dud drugstore shampoos.

This time of the year is all about the Friends and Family sales. Thankfully, I had some gift cards to spend..woohoo!!
My list consisted mainly of NARS and Stila (with some other essentials mixed in). The Stila Barbie Smudge Pots are amazing. Rarely do I use them as eyeliners. Smudge pots are among the best e/s bases I have ever used. The Barbie Smudge Pots really make life worth living. LOL Ok, ok, ok may be not, but the colors are amazing. Purple Pumps is a blueish-purple with speckles of pink glitter and the Little Black Dress (LBD) is black with more speckles of pink. LBD could pose as MAC’s Young Punk me/s and no one would even check the ID. I will say the Purple Pumps smudge pot is wetter than other smudge pots, but do not let that be a deterrence.
I had my eye on the NARS duos from the Holiday collection 2009. I prefer NARS darker shades, they work much better on me than NARS lighter shades, which is why I purchased Eurydice and Brousse duos. Eurydice is eggplant and graphite, according the website. The purple side has flecks of blue, which does not show up to well in the pics. I placed Purple Pumps under the Purple side of Eurydice and the color changed to pinkish navy…very lovely I say. The graphite side is shimmery goodness..definitely has hints of green. The Brousse Duo is sable/dark violet, which I think would work for a soft daytime smokey look as well as a night-time glammed-up look. I also had to get my hands on NARS Aigle Noir Soft Touch Shadow Pencil, which is the pencil version of MAC’s Black Ore Solar Bits (a beautiful fusion of black and gold)
I will be enjoying my newly acquired goodies!!
