Sephora Beauty Insider Sale

Hi Angels,

I know we have been talking about a lot  of sales these past few weeks.  But I have to say this sale is one that I look forward to every year.  It is the Sephora Beauty Insider sale.

Sephora has a free club/program that turns your purchases into a point system.  This entitles you to sales, previews and discounts.  

I am a VIB.  This week from 11/7-11/11 all VIBs will receive 20% off of their purchases online and in store.(No restrictions like that  OTHER STORE.  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.) Given how many brands are in this store, the sky is the limit. If you are not a beauty insider sign up today so you can be on your way to getting these savings.  If you have a friend that is a Beauty Insider they can give you a pass to use in store only.

Here is the invite and pass:

And for my VIBs here is the online code:

Use the word VIBTOPIA at checkout online.

I am going to stock up on my foundations and other big ticket items.  What are you buying?  Let us know what you get.

Until next time Angels

Urban Decay Feminine Palette Review and Swatches

Sale alert Angels!

Back with a quick alert to let you know about a fabulous palette I came across at my local Sephora that was on super sale.  The Feminine palette, originally $36.00 is on sale for $14 in-store at Sephora and for $16 on their website:   Urban Decay Feminine Dangerous Fun Palettes

First, I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay palettes in general.  The Naked Palette 1 and 2 are easy faves, as well as the Smoked palette.  These are invaluable for me, especially when it comes to travel and glam on the go.  So I didn't hesitate to give this palette a shot at this low price.
Well I wasn't disappointed.  Their shadows are always high-impact, with impressive pigmentation and true to pan color.

Here is the palette:

These colors are just as the name denotes:  Feminine.  Soft and pretty, just about each shade could be worn alone but this incorporates well into any makeup lover's collection, and the colors aren't redundant.  

Here are swatches on my hand, from left to right, Bordello, Skimp, and AC/DC:

And Gunmetal, Hijack, Lost:

To boot, UD palettes always come with a cool little "bonus" like a brush, an eyeliner or in this case, a travel sized Lip Junkie lipgloss-- a pretty, modestly shimmery neutral shade that will work with any of the shades in the palette.  Here is a swatch:

Told ya these palettes are absolutely perfect for travel!

Well I can't wait to find a free moment to play with this palette and create some fun looks.   Overall I give this very high marks and recommend it not only because of the price (CAN'T be beat for UD eyeshadow) but also because of the quality.  Will keep you posted!

Until next time Angels.... Happy Haulin!

Stila Countless Color Pigments!

Hello Angels,

I am back with a review of my last Sephora haul.  Sephora is like a candy store for a makeup addict like myself.  When you visit you almost always find a gem.  On my last visit I swatched the Stila Countless Color Pigments.  I instantly fell in love with the color combinations and pigmentation of each pressed pigment .

I made a mental note to purchase them when I returned.  While shopping online I found that they were 31% off.  I purchased all the colors they had.  Here are the shadows.

From: top to bottom and left to right:
Indie, Tie Dye, Melody
Finale, Lyric, Center Stage
Light Show, Acoustic, Groupie

Swatches all blended together by row on NW 43 skin(without primer

Indie-light pink, pink and fuchsia

Tie Dye- turquoise, blue and purple
Melody- pink, light purple and purple

Finale-orange, yellow and reddish pink
Lyric- yellow, orange and pink
Center Stage- yellow/orange, pink and sky blue

Light show-yellow/gold, blue, dark blue green
Acoustic-rust,red, brown and copper
Groupie- beige, copper and brown

The colors can be used individually or swirled together as shown.  You are able to get a lid, crease and highlight out of almost all of the shadows.  On those days when you are pressed for time that is just what the Doctor ordered.  

The shadows are still available on Stila.com.and  sephora.com.  On Ulta.com. stock is limited.  All three sites have different stock.  There are ten in all.  I am going to order a color called Encore which is a pink, beige and brown mix.  This is available only on the Stila site.

If you happen to see them in store they are worth a glance and swatch.  Check them out for yourself.  Let me know how you like them.

Until next time

Gucci Platform Pumps--SALE

Hi Angels!!

Check out these Gucci suede pumps I recently purchased at Bloomingdale's!  They are a cream/champagne color that goes well with monochromatic outfits to add a hint of unexpected color. I personally love round toe shoes because they are much more comfortable.  Surprisingly for their impressive height, the platform adequately offsets the impact.  I purchased these for $239.99, I know, I know, it's a little steep, but they were originally $520, I promise. If you are going to spend $150 for boutique 9, etc. might as well invest a little more for a wardrobe staple that will last for years to come.  

Happy Shopping!!

I DIE!!!! Isabel Marant studded gladiator sandals ON SALE, MUST have!

Angels,

Emergency alert, look what I found on sale at Lagarconne for $357.90.  Yeah, that's still steep (gulp), for a sale BUT I promise you if you score a pair of these (especially the black ones), they are the last gladiators you will every buy because they go with everything:  Cut off shorts, high-low skirt, maxi dress, mini skirt, boyfriend jeans..... You get my drift.  And you'll excuse me as I rush over to grab some for my closet!  Happy shopping!!!! 

Sales! Sales!! Sales!!!

Shopping run in SoHo!!

Hi Angels!

I did a quick run through some of my go to stores in SoHo this weekend, and found a couple of cute summer finds as well as a preview of fall.  Here are some of my picks:

Maxi dress at Mango, $110. I love this dress, it looks so airy, perfect for this heat wave on the East Coast.  The blue hue seems so serene to me.

Front of dress:

Back of dress:

It has a few slits in the back would which be great for some ventilation ;). 

Next up,  I thought this display at Mango was hot- a little preview of things to come!  Oh how I have missed wearing black to avoid the heat.  

On display at Mango, SoHo:

I kept going down the block and popped into Armani Exchange to check out their sale.  I was impressed with a dress going for only $30, that would look great at a summer party.  The fabric was relatively light and very fitted. 

Front of dress:

Back of dress:

Last, but certainly not least is a preview of what's in store for fall at Zara- Animal print is back again!!  I love the combo of simple whites with animal print, effortlessly chic!  Looking forward to wearing a blazer again!

Let me know what you think!  Happy shopping!

My new fave faux fur vest!

Hello Angels! I found this sweet little deal at Ann Taylor LOFT in midtown Manhattan and just had to share! It's a super soft black faux fur vest with a graphic knit detailing on the back that makes it super unique and easy to dress up or down. It's lightweight but warm, making keeping up with this season's layering trend easy. And with the current 50% off winter sale going on at LOFT.com it's quite a steal! Happy shopping!!!
