holiday preview sale

November 11-12th only holiday preview sale in boutiques, outlets, and online! These products will only be available today and tomorrow or else you will have to wait until December. Use the link below to get to the holiday products and don't forget to use the code to get free shipping. Also be sure to check your inbox if you get the BE emails because there was a special coupon code for a surprise gift, mine was 10% off my entire purchase:

The BE Outlets are also having their own preview day today so my friend and I went in for a free makeover and to check out the "new" products. They have products that are new to them today but are things we have seen before. But they are still an amazing deal, such as the Women of BE Collection for $59 and a bunch of Holiday items from last year like the All Wrapped Up Collection. Stay tuned for the photos of my makeover!   

Also, I went into Ulta the other day and saw that they had The Glamourous Life kit which is the holiday kit that I am personally the most excited for (or tempted to buy.) So I just had to swatch the colors and share them with you.

For all the details on the products that I didn't go into detail about check out this great post by the muse here.

why i should have gotten a ny times

Becasue Leslie Blodgett was on the cover of the New York Times, SundayStyles section! But if like me you got the news too late to get the paper you can check it out online! I recommend reading the entire article as it is so inspiring to see where she has come from and where she is now! Click on the photo below to go to the article:

ten eye shadows return and more new things to come

On bareescentuals.com they have just brought back ten of their eye shadows due to popular demand! Here is the link for those. I want all of them but some I want more than others such as Wicked! It looks like such a great green color, but it will have to wait.

Also on Sephora's blog they featured a review of the newish Pretty Amazing lip colors. I currently have two and don't wear them that often, to me it is more appropriate to wear them when I am going out at night, but due to the rain I haven't been out lately. If you still haven't tried it then check out this review and get yourself some!

And finally Buxom has released some samples to a lucky few of a new product they will be releasing in August: Buxom Lip Tarnish! It is their version of a lip stain and there are four colors so far and they all look amazing and come with the Buxom tingle that I am addicted to! Check out a review of them here. And then spend the next couple of months lusting after them with me! 

bare escentuals on the world wide web

Shape Magazine is currently polling for their 2011 Beauty Awards and BE is up for two! The first one is in the eyeshadow category for their Buxom Stay-There Shadows. The second is in the gloss category (probably because it didn't fit anywhere really) for the Pretty Amazing Lip Colors. So go here and vote if you love these products!

Also there is a feature on nylon.com about the new Pretty Amazing lip colors, just a little review but if you have yet to try them go there and you can read what they are all about. They really describe these the best way, as a lipstick and gloss all in one. I have never been one to wear lipstick and am usually wearing gloss but I love these!
