E.L.F.

Recession Buster! Bam!

Check out EyesLipsFace.Com where makeup is $1.00.
No, this is not a sale, this is 24/7 $1.00 prices. A girl could go nuts over there!

Unfortunately, I cant personally review the products, having never tried them...It's funny, I've heard about E.L.F. for years, and never given it much thought, but I don't know why...I mean, whats to think about??? $1.00!

These could be great to round out your makeup collection, or to experiment with products or shades without committing a lot of money. Or buy something you're lazy about, I never buy the right brushes, I might just go over there and get a whole set!

Did I mention to you guys, that my friends are über fabulous? Seriously, they are a group of people that are meticulous about the way they look; and rightfully so. It stuns me the amount of detail they put into applying makeup, and finding new inventions. My opinion used to be, you've seen one mascara, gosh darn it you've seen em all. This was my theory, before they made me see the error of my ways, as they would say " Alicia, there are always new releases that trumps old existing products" I suppose this makes much sense, considering the fact that there are so many competing brands out there.

Either way, they know that I am very particular about not having a lot of GUCK on my face, just enough to give me a definitive glow. They always rag on me about not wearing much eyeshadow, and to be honest, it's because I detest buying the little ones @ MAC, I never have the color that I need when I need it. I've been meaning to get a good BRAND that has different assortments of colors. Ladies and gentleman, SEPHORA has delivered with the Ultimate Blockbuster - Collector's Edition:


It is being said to be "The ultimate makeup palette for eyes, face, and lips, all you need for complete classic beauty" The Sephora Brand Collector's Edition Palette sets the gold standard and gets you set. If you think I'm kidding, take a look at what it comes equipped with:

This palette has it all:
- 71 eyeshadow shades (0.04 oz each)
- 13 cream eyeshadow shades (0.03 oz each)
- 5 blushes (0.19 oz each)
- 1 compact powder (0.19 oz)
- 60 lip glosses (0.03 oz each)
- One lip liner
- One eyeliner
- 4 brushes
- 3 sponge-tipped applicators
- A smart black case that's as classy as you are.

Guys, this product is definitely a steal, it's value is $320; however, it is being sold at an absurdly low price of $48. You cannot beat that! Even if you don't get it for yourself, if you happen to have any make up junkie friends like a few of mine,(uh, hum... Avy, Kamilah) it will make a fantastic Christmas gift.

Smooches... If anyone of you beat me to the punch in purchasing this lovely item, please give SGHI your review.

Bare Escentuals Smoky "V" Eye Tutorials Kit

Was just out shopping, and I saw the Bare Escentuals Smoky "V" Eye Tutorials Kit.
I would have bought it, but I had just bought some shadow that was very similar to the colors it came with, Pacific Heights, and 1990's glimmer.
What I was intrigued by is the "V" brush, check it out in the above picture. The V shape is supposed to simultaneously line your eye and shade your crease, for a foolproof shadow application. Bare Escentuals is the only company to create a brush like this, and it is patent pending.
The colors are in the purple family, and that is a hot shade for fall, so if you need colors like that in your makeup aresenal this may be a good way to go.

Eye Majic? Oh Snap!

OK, so these things are FLYING off of HSN. I didn't know anything about HSN until recently, when my mother-in-law put me on. Apparently they have quality control standards that meet, if not exceed, those of most department stores. So their products are no bull, and if you don't like 'em, neither are their return policies.



Anyway, I haven't tried them, yet, :) but these little strips will allegedly give you a perfect shadow application in less than 1 minute. So no excuses for looking shabby lady!




Here's a demonstration video of the product. Yeah, it's long, but skip through it, there are some impressive looks in there. Plus, those girls got they nails DID! LOL!
