It's this time of the year....

Christmas Beauty Deals are on sale!

I went to CVS today and got two perfume/lotion sets half off! I paid $9.99 for this Taylor Swift perfume/lotion/body wash set. I also got Christina Aguilera's perfume set - two bottles of perfume for $9.99 - that's like $5 per bottle - can't beat that. While the products are smaller than average, this is still a great way to try out things you may not have purchased otherwise. I would definitely recommend checking your local drug stores for post-Christmas sales.


Sephora is also launching it's post Christmas sale -additional 20% off for sale items. Check it out!
Merry Post - Christmas shopping!

Sephora Haul!

Here it is, my long overdue Sephora shopping spree!


The main item that I was excited about was the Sephora Collection Breast Cancer Awareness Make Up Palette - $25


The palette contains 36 eye shadows, 12 lip glosses and 6 blushes. I absolutely love the shadows, the colors are gorgeous and extremely wearable - a versatile selection of grays, blues, purples, pinks, browns and golds - you are bound to find the perfect shade for every occasion from everyday nude eye look to smoky eye.
I usually don't use a lot of lip glosses from make up palettes - I like mine in individual packaging so that I can take them with me on the go, but the lip gloss colors here are surprisingly decent quality so I might end up using them. The blushes are diverse from more subtle shades to highly pigmented reds and pinks.
I would definitely recommend this palette - for $25 you can't go wrong. It's much smaller than I was expecting, but you still get tons of different products to try and it makes it much easier to travel with.

Next is the Tarte 5 piece LipSurgence Collectors set- $36

I've been wanting to try these forever! They sell at $24 each so $36 for 5 is a pretty good deal! And keep in mind these are full size. I've yet to play with these but I can let you know they smell absolutely fabulous! More in depth review to come soon!

Too Faced Hot Cocoa Collection - $10


Yes, you read it right - ten bucks for this baby. I love the bronzer and it really does smell like chocolate! Slightly too dark for my skintone but I think it will be perfect for the summer (I'm too pale this time of the year in New England!) Can't wait to use it. The bronzing primer is great underneath your make up or just by itself. This is a definite buy, especially at this price.

Two Sephora Jumbo Color Wand for Lips $11 each

 I could not decide to which one to buy so I got both!

Last but not least  - Happy Birthday to me  - Free :)
