HUGE NYX Sale!

Check out this page at NYX Cosmetics - they are having a HUH-YUGE sale, and if you like their cosmetics you don't wanna miss this one!

They have packaged up some "kits" you can buy for 75-90% off - no joke.  Here's what you can get:

Item 1 - 11 lip glosses and 8 trio eyeshadows for a whopping $27.00

Item 2 - 20 Double Sided Eye Pencils and 10 Liquid Liners for $22.00

Item 3 - 30 Pairs of False Lashes for $24.00

Item 4 - 15 Diamond Sparkle Lip Glosses and 15 Single Eye Shadows for $41.25

And their liquid foundation is on sale for (gasp!!) $1.40 a bottle!  However, some of the foundation shades are selling out, so if you're interested in this one, head on over quickly.

Sale's on 'til the end of April - check it out and let me know if you're getting anything.  I might get item 2... and item 3 sounds fun but I don't use falsies often enough to get 30 pair, even if they are less than $1 each ;)

Good Lord.... I Haven't Blogged in Months!

This is truly terrible... I haven't blogged since January, and I have so many makeup things to talk about!  Unfortunately, my REAL job is getting in the way - as a medical writer, spring is always crazy, as everyone is jockeying for grant funding and wants help with their applications.  And I'm in the midst of a big decision to start a freelance business - whether to do it alone (probably preferable) or with others is the major issue on the table at the moment.

However, I am going to TRY very hard to get some of this stuff reviewed.  I've got some comments about J. Lynne Cosmetics, Aromaleigh's L'Orchidee collection (I will tell you this about this one - it is AMAZING, it is ON SALE until April 22, and it's limited edition, so GO GET IT), Archetype Cosmetics, Fyrinnae, and About Face Cosmetics (a.k.a. The She Space) that I'd love to share with everyone.... plus, some drugstore hits and misses I've had as well!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful spring!

M.A.C Friends and Family Sale!

Ok... I promise I'll be doing a "real" post soon, but first you just gotta hear this one thing...

M.A.C. is having a Friends and Family Sale!!!

It's ONLY online, at MACCosmetics.com, and when you use the code MACFF9 during checkout, you'll get a whopping 25% off your order!  

So go ahead, spend some Christmas money, get something cool for the New Year!!!  I did... between this sale and the gift card I got for Christmas, I have the biggest MAC haul ever (I find them a bit irritating usually because the price is so high, but... sales make that a little better).

But... the sale is over on January 8 at 11:59 pm.... that's this Thursday, so get your orders in!  Also be aware that the whole world is going nuts over this sale and stuff is ALREADY starting to sell out, so...if you want it, GRAB IT, ladies (and guys)!!! :)  

After Christmas Sales!!

So, what's better than pre-holiday sales on makeup?

The AFTER CHRISTMAS SALES, of course!!

Now, a lot of the small mineral makeup companies I normally discuss are on hiatus for the holidays (as they should be... even makeup mavens must rest, love, and be loved in peace). BUT, there are still good options. In fact, this time of year is the best time to visit your local SEPHORA or see them online:

Yep... you read that small graphic right... Sephora is having a major sale. Many of their totally fabulous Christmas sets and kits from high end cosmetics companies like Stila, Bliss, NARS, Vincent Longo, and others are 25% to 75% off right now - so if you got some Christmas money and want to treat yourself, head over pronto, 'cause this stuff won't last very long!!

And.... in the new year I'll be introducing new features to this blog - I am hoping to be able to include swatches and looks whenever I do reviews, and I've got a couple new companies up my sleeve to introduce you all to (really unusual eyeshadows and maybe some incredibly sexy blushes, anyone??)... see you all soon, and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!
