Tarte/NYX Sales and Giveaway Reminder

If you haven't entered the MAC Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfinish giveaway - and you're interested - there's still time.  You can find all the details here.  And a big thank you to everyone who's already entered - I'm so happy that people are interested.

Two good sales this week -

Tarte is having a Friends & Family sale so you can score 30% off most items on their website - plus free shipping on orders over $40.  Enter the code FFAUG at checkout for the discount.  The sale is good now until August 6th, so get shopping!

I seriously love pretty much everything from Tarte that I've ever tried, but some quick recommendations include the Amazonian Clay Blushes, Maracuja Creaseless Concealer, Amazonian Clay Foundation, and Maracuja Miracle Foundation. Oh, and I just mentioned them last week, so you know I love the Airblush Maracuja Blush (especially in Shimmering Peach!) and the Beauty & the Box Amazonian Clay Eye Shadow Quad in Brewed Awakening (Evoke the Smoke is pretty for a night out too.)

If you're a fan of NYX, they're having a Haute Look event starting at 11am EST today.  I don't know what items will be available, but they'll be nice and discounted so it's a good time to pick up some items that you've been wanting to try.  I picked a couple of palettes up the last time they were on Haute Look and I think I got 50% off each.  Pretty good deal, right?

To shop at Haute Look, you need to be a member - but it's free to sign up so there's no reason not to.  You can do it here.

If you pick anything up from either sale, share below.  I love to know what everyone's getting.

Happy shopping!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains

I have wanted to try Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains for a while now.

I've read and heard so many good things about them that my curiosity was definitely piqued, and the name of the product itself is beyond intriguing - the idea of a stain that still feels moisturizing and looks shiny on the lips (well, at least, that's my interpretation of "balm stain") is certainly novel.

So when I stopped in Walgreen's the other day to pick up a few 12 packs of Diet Coke (my most serious addiction this side of makeup) and I saw that Revlon was on sale BOGO half-off, I finally indulged. 

Giveaway Time! MAC Stereo Rose Mineralize Skinfinish *CLOSED*

The illusive MAC MSF in Stereo Rose

The last time that MAC was getting ready to re-release their Mineralize Skinfinish in the cult favorite shade Stereo Rose (about a year and a half ago, I'd say), I told everyone I knew how badly I wanted it.

Seriously.

Everyone.

Tarte Miracle of Maracuja TSV A/D Shipment #2

New Tarte goodies!

So not only did my Tarte Miracle of Maracuja TSV A/D shipment show up on my doorstep todayas promised, the UPS man actually arrived before I'd put my makeup on so I was able to actually use the products so I have a pretty informed opinion about the shades and formulas.
