Keeping my word, I’m back to announce the cosmetics giveaway that I mentioned in my review of the Disney Villains Soho Beauty Makeup Bag for Halloween 2015. I’ve been putting away makeup, skincare and fragrance items that I thought would make a nice gift and here they are. To refresh your memory from yesterday 🙄 …
Disney Villains Halloween 2015 Soho Beauty Limited Edition Makeup Bags
When I was in San Antonio a couple of weeks ago, I wandered into Walgreen’s and, of course, I ended up in the cosmetics aisle. There I saw a display of the new limited edition Disney Villains makeup bags from Soho Beauty! OMG, the cuteness! I was going to pick up one of them, but …
Face Fashion September 2015 ipsy Bag
I know I’ve said this before, but I measure the passage of time in ipsy bags, and I got my September bag a couple of weeks ago. This year is just flying by! I wish it would slow down. This month’s theme is Face Fashion, and all of my products were face makeup, skincare or beauty …
Stowaway Cosmetics: The Perfect Size Makeup for Just About Everything!
I’m a small person, and for me, small is beautiful! Stowaway Cosmetics had the brilliant idea of making their cosmetics in smaller sizes. Why is that a great idea you ask? Because it is so rare to use up makeup before it expires! In a recent study conducted by Stowaway and Poshly, it was shown that …
Friday Find: Bite Beauty Lipstick & Gloss Minis Sephora 250 Point Gift
I noticed one of the beauty bloggers I follow mentioned a great gift for points at Sephora: Bite Beauty Limited Edition Mimosa Red Lipstick and Gloss Minis, 250 points. I have been stockpiling points for a while so I decided to take advantage of this gift because I am a big fan of Bite Beauty …

My Barney’s Mini-Haul & Cosmetics Gift with Purchase Goody Bag
About three times a year, Barney’s New York has a cosmetics, fragrance and grooming event where if you spend $200+, you will receive either a woman’s or a man’s goody bag filled with cosmetics, fragrance and grooming products. I just got mine today, and I was blown away by it! They extended the event so …
Friday Find: Sonia Kashuk LE Color Crazed Makeup Brush Collection
This is literally a find with a capital F! A few weeks ago, I scored big time. I took advantage of a mistake on the Target website on a Sunday afternoon. They mistakenly advertised a sale on a limited edition set of Sonia Kashuk makeup brushes, the Color Crazed Collection of 10 brushes. The Color …
Tarina Tarantino Gem Gloss: My Pretty
Yesterday, I received another unexpected package from my generous benefactress. Again, she shouldn’t have done it, but she knows that I love the quality and the adorable girly packaging from the Tarina Tarantino makeup brand! This time, she sent me an adorable lipgloss. I love limited edition “original packaging”: the pink handle of the wand …
Milani Awakening Rose Powder Blush
I couldn’t resist. I had to pick up one of the new Milani rose powder blushes that have come out for summer 2015. I already own several of these beauties, and I’ve reviewed the Milani rose blushes previously. There are three new limited edition shades for Summer 2015: American Beauty Rose – shade 9, Awakening Rose …
Preview of Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Fall 2015
With the sad end of beach season in my neck of the woods, at least there’s something good about to happen: Ulta Beauty is hosting their 21 Days of Beauty for Fall 2015! It starts on September 6 and goes through September 26. Every day there is a different product or products on sale at …
Friday Find: em Cosmetics Chiaroscuro Contour and Highlighter Stick
Contouring and now, strobing (basically, an emphasis on highlighting) is all the rage. To be honest, it’s not something that I do on a regular basis. If I’m going out at night or have a special event or appointment, I’ll do my own light version of contouring and highlighting. Because I like creams, I bought …
FOTD: Orange and Blue
When it comes to makeup, I usually stick to neutral shades, gold/bronze or purples for eye makeup. So I don’t know what came over me last week. I decided to dig out the gorgeous Jordana Cat Eyeliner in Twilight, a deep blue, and one of the Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine palettes that I don’t use …
Ulta Haul Summer 2015 Part 2
Recently, I posted about my Ulta mini-haul using my Ulta discount coupon. I showed you my Too Faced Love Flush Blush in Love Hangover and my Becca Ultimate Coverage Concealer in Tahini. Well, I decided the shades didn’t work for me so I took them back. I swapped them for shades that worked better for …
ipsy Prep School Bag August 2015
My ipsy “Prep School” bag arrived right on time this month, and I say it’s a really good one. First, I love the plastic makeup bag with the houndstooth print. Houndstooth says “back to school” for me. Years ago when I was in middle school, my mom gave me a houndstooth skirt, I think, that …
