HSN Live From Sephora 5th Avenue

HSN.com is broadcasting live from Sephora's 5th Avenue store today. Shows air at 1 pm and 6 pm Central time. They are offering FREE SHIPPING on tons of Sephora products (not just Sephora brands, but products offered through Sephora). Along with the FREE SHIPPING, they are also offering sale prices on select products and gifts. Even better, HSN will donate $1 to the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign for every Sephora item purchased today.

Don't forget to check out Sephora's Beauty-Ful Buy for this visit. This time, they're offering Too Faced World Domination Tour All Access Backstage Beauty Kit with Lash Injection Mascara at the bargain price of $34 with FREE SHIPPING. This kit has a retail value of over $150. What's even better is that this kit, unlike the one available on Sephora.com, comes with the Lash Injection Mascara. Too Faced is one of those brands that seems to be well known, but is not talked about very often. It's too bad because their products are exceptional and are of a very high quality, but they seem to be more affordable than some of the other products made of the same quality. I've had many a Too Faced kit and can testify that they have been worth every penny, are long lasting, and are very versatile.

SIDE NOTE - For my girls from the Chicagoland Area, did you by any chance watch the WGN Morning News? They had a make-up artist on to offer make-up tips for the holiday party season and the Too Faced World Domination Tour All Access Backstage Beauty Kit with Lash Injection Mascara was the first product she featured. She did a gorgeous smokey eye on the model and went on about how this kit contains everything you could possibly need to create many looks. How ironic is that?!?!

If you can't tune in today, don't worry. The sale prices and FREE SHIPPING offers are available on HSN.com through December 6th. My only recommendation is that if you see something you want, don't wait too long to get it. Many items are known to sell out quickly when Sephora is on the air. Happy Shopping!

LORAC Croc Mocktail Collection

It’s nice to see a new lip gloss kit from Lorac this year. It seemed that for the past few years it was the same old lip gloss kit featuring the Lorac Lip Polishes in the same old colors. This year, the LORAC Croc Mocktail Collection features the Mocktail lip glosses. This collection contains glosses named and flavored especially for the holiday season. They include Mistletoe Mojito (mint, sugar & melon), Champagne (sparkling pear), Sugarplumtini (plum & berry), Spiced Cider (red apple), Candy Cane Cosmo (peppermint), and Irish Coffee (vanilla latte). All of the flavors sound so tempting! The colors range from deep pinks to copper reds. Each lip gloss tube also has a mini mirror attached to it making it easy to do touch ups anywhere.

I've done a review on these in the past (too lazy to find the old post!), but I'll do a mini-review right now. These Mocktails smell amazing!!! I am especially in love with Candy Cane Cosmo...nothing says Christmas like the smell of candy cane. These glosses feel so velvety on your lips. The staying power is decent, but its not like MAC Pro Longwear. The coverage is more opaque than sheer. Perfect if you hate to give up your lipstick for a gloss, but still perfect if you want the coverage of lipstick but only want to use a gloss.

This kit has a retail value of $55 but is priced at $25. It is a limited edition and is currently available at Sephora.com. Happy Shopping!

Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Lip Balm Set by on10

A quick visit to Sephora.com has introduced me to one of the cutest gift sets I’ve come across this holiday season. Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Lip Balm Set by on10 is absolutely adorable. It contains 9 pots of lip balm, each one depicting a picture of either one of the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White, or the Wicked Queen. Each lip balm features a unique flavor: Ruby Red Grapefruit, Evil Apple, Blue Berries, Unscented, White Vanilla, Peach Blush, Coconut Mango, Cheery Cherry, and Grumpy Grape. This is a great gift for any Disney addict (we all know at least one!). This is a limited edition set that is currently available at Sephora.com for $38.

Truth be told, I have not personally tried any on10 products, but I have been itching to do ever since I saw their Hershey’s lip balm. Speaking to others who have been fortunate enough to test them out, I’ve been told that they are like Bonne Bell for adults (who are we kidding…even as adults we still love Bonne Bell!!!)…meaning that they have the fun, childhood tastes that we remember, but with the soothing and moisturizing elements that we now long for. Even better is the fact that the lip balms have SPF 15. There are a ton of great gift ideas from on10 at Sephora.com. I will be highlighting more of them in the days to come. Happy Shopping!

NARS Sephora Exclusive Lip Gloss Collection

There seems to be an excess of lip gloss sets being released this holiday season. And let me just tell you, that is fine by me! I’m excited to say that even NARS has got in on the lip gloss gift sets this holiday season. NARS Sephora Exclusive Lip Gloss Collection is comprised of some of the best shades of lip gloss NARS has to offer. Triple X (a clear shine), Harlow (a silvery mauve), Striptease (a pearlized beige sheen), Bloodwork (a red vinyl), and Orgasm (a peachy pink shimmer) are all available in this convenient set. Ask any NARS girl for a list of her favorite shades of lip gloss and I guarantee that you will see at least half of these shades will appear on each list.

Unfortunately, these are not full size lip glosses, but that being said, these are not minis either. Personally, I think these are more than big enough (figuring that most gift sets do not contain full size products), especially for the $45 price tag. On top of it, this kit makes owning all five of these lip gloss shades affordable. Many people would most likely not want to shell out $24 for each full size gloss, but $45 for all of them in a slightly smaller size is all good.

This will make a great gift for the seasoned NARS addict or the newbie who has always wanted to try NARS famed lip glosses. This is a limited edition that is sure to sell out quickly. It’s also exclusive to Sephora. It retails for $45, but if you pick it up during the Friends and Family event you’ll only have to pay $36! Happy Shopping!

DuWop Moodswing Palette

One of the reoccurring questions that seem to pop up in my life is warm or cool? Yes, do I go with the warm palette or the cool palette? Truth be told, often times I empty my bank account and pick up both. I love that I don’t have to ask myself that question with DuWop’s new Moodswing Palette. This is really two palettes in one. On the left side, the warm tones and on the right side, the cool tones. Each side contains a mini version of Lip Venom (the warm side has gold shimmer in it and the cool side has silver shimmer), a lip stick, a lip gloss, three eye shadows, and a gradated shimmer brick. The palette also includes a full-size Reverse Lip Liner and two brushes. All of the shades in this palette are great for the fall and winter. It’s available for $42. It is a limited edition and is currently available at Sephora.com. Happy Shopping!

Bare Escentuals Extreme Glitters

Everyone who knows me knows that I love shimmery, sparkly things. I love to put ting-ting in my flower arrangements and my Christmas tree. I prefer Swarovski crystal embellishments to pearl beading. Don't even ask about how sparkly my engagement ring is. Given this, of course I love sparkly make-up too! But there has to be a balance. I like sparkly and elegant, not sparkly and cheap.

I picked up Bare Escentuals Extreme Glimmers Kit about a month ago and have quickly deemed this my holiday season make-up. The kit contains three "extreme" eye shadows in silver, plum, and bronze, a starter size Prime Time Eyelid Primer, and an Extreme Glimmer Brush. The shimmer and sparkle are outrageous without being over the top. Does that even make sense? What I mean is that there is definately sparkle there, some of the best I have ever seen; but at the same time it doesn't look cheesy or cheap. Applied properly (try to hold back that heavy hand), your eyes pop with the sparkle of a movie star.

This kit does have the potential to lead to drag queen-esque eye make-up. The key to achieving the movie star look is to properly apply the eye make-up using the Bare Escentuals technique. First of all, USE THE PRIMER!!! It's in the kit for a reason! I've mentioned before that I am not a primer addict...I hardly use it. This is a situation where primer is a must. The pigment and glitter are loose thus allowing them to fly all over the place if not properly contained.

Secondly, you must use the "swirl, tap, buff" Bare Escentuals method. I am surprised by the number of people I talk to who love Bare Escentuals cosmetics but have never seen a demonstration on QVC nor have they watched the starter's DVD or read the instructions for application. I cannot recommend watching Leslie herself showing you how to properly use her products!!! I was also one of those who was like, "What's the deal with this swirl, tap, buff nonsense? Just dip the brush in and swipe it on!" So wrong! Every BE product should be applied with swirl, tap, buff.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, here it is. Get just a dab of product in the lid of the container. One way to do it is to just skim the product with the brush and transfer it to the lid. What I like to do is flip the container over, tap the lid to "push" the excess back into the jar, unscrew the lid and, voila, just enough product in the lid. Next, take your brush and swirl it around in the lid to sweep up the product. Then tap the brush on the side of the lid to get rid of the excess. Finally, buff it on. Based on my experience, if you apply the Extreme Glimmers this way, you should have minimal glitter on your face and it should also cut back on the feeling of chunkiness that the glitter particles may create.

Photo Borrowed From BareEscentuals.com (Click picture to be taken there)

In the event that you do get some glitter on your face, don't worry. Simply take a face brush (an extra one that you don't use), spray a little bit of hair spray on it (don't saturate it), and gently sweep it over your face. That should get most of the loose product off.

Bare Escentuals Extreme Glimmers Kit is a limited edition kit that is only available at Sephora. It is priced at $32 with a $44 value. Happy Shopping!

Happy Birthday Sephora

It's hard to believe that Sephora has only been around for 10 years. What did we do before Sephora??? I can remember being frustrated when certain Marshall Fields (oh how I long for those days before Macy's took over) only carried certain brands forcing me search all over for coveted cosmetics. I remember the first time I ever walked into a Sephora. It was like Charlie walking into the chocolate factory. Everything shined and seemed to call my name. I wanted one of everything, but surprisingly, I managed to walk out with only a single palette. Now, I'm lucky if I can walk out spending less than $100.

To celebrate Sephora's 10th birthday/anniversary, some of the top cosmetics companies have put together limited edition beauty products and gift sets at great prices. Most of these products are even "Best of Sephora" award winners.

Bare Escentuals has created Mineral Veil On The Go Mineral Veil for the occassion. For the first time, the best selling Mineral Veil is available in a portable device. For those of you who have yet to try Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil, it is a sheer translucent powder that you apply as a finishing powder on your face. It gives skin a flawless, airbrushed look while absorbing oil from your face. I absolutely love the packaging. I will say this though, it is a bit big and bulky. This is not a product that would fit easily in your clutch for touchups during a night on the town. This is a limited edition item that is available for $28.

TIP - If you already have a ton of Mineral Veil (I know I do because it is included in a lot of Bare Escentuals kits) and don't want to pick up this product, but want to have the on the go ability I have a suggestion. Simply take a retractable fact brush, brush it in the Mineral Veil, retract it, put the cap on it, and you're ready to go. Also, most retractable brushes I have seen are smaller than the On The Go product currently available so this tip may prove helpful if you're looking for something smaller to fit in a clutch.

No Sephora celebration would be complete without a gift set from Stila. Stila offers its Stila Loves Sephora 10th Anniversary Can. The can is filled with some Stila's fan favorites including Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer, Convertible Color in Peony, Kajal Eyeliner in Onyx, Mini Multi-Effect Mascara, and Brown Sugar Lip Glaze. There was a time when I would never leave Sephora without getting a new shade of Stila Lip Glaze! This kit totally takes me back to that time. Even if you don't get this kit, I highly, highly, highly recommend the Convertible Color in Peony. This is a multitasker that every beauty addict needs. Use it on you lips, eyes, and cheeks. Its dusty rose hue is perfect for the fall. This kit is a limited edition priced at $40 (with a $90 value).

Another Sephora shoppers favorite brand is Philosophy. Who amongst us hasn't spent many an hour at Sephora smelling her way through the entire Philosophy display telling her girlfriend that the products smell good enough to eat?!?! I know I'm guilty!!! And then comes the dilema of trying to select just one scent to take home. For Sephora's 10th Birthday Philosophy has helped us out with that problem. Introducing the Philosophy Classic Cookbook, a collection of ten of Philosophy's favorite scents. The Classic Cookbook includes 2 oz. bottles of Strawberry Milkshake, Red Velvet Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Senorita Margarita, Coconut Frosting, Cinnamon Buns, Double Rich Hot Cocoa, Raspberry Sorbet, Vanilla Birthday Cake, and Melon Daiquiri. This is a great gift for any Philosophy addict as well as for the person who has never tried Philosophy but has always wanted to. How could you go wrong with 10 of Philosophy's best scents??? This limited edition set is available for $40.

There are many more 10th Anniversary gifts from companies like Fresh, Clinique, Urban Decay, Too Faced, and, of course, Sephora. These were just a few of my favorites that I could personally recommend. All of the 10th Anniversary items are limited edition and are obviously only available at Sephora. Happy Shopping!

Sephora On HSN

Just a heads up that Sephora will be on HSN for a number of shows Thursday and Friday, October 9th and 10th. HSN.com already has a number of products available on easy pay and FREE SHIPPING. Happy Shopping!

Free Shipping On Sephora Brands On HSN

It's a Sephora day today on the Home Shopping Network. A quick look at HSN.com shows that there are a ton of FREE SHIPPING deals as well as many EASY PAY deals. Plus, there is the Beauty-Full Buy and today it is a goodie. The show stopper is the Korres Natural Products Love Your Lips Gift Pouch. It's funny because I almost picked up this product directly from Sephora.com for $29, but for today only (well actually, it may be for tomorrow too because Sephora also has a few shows on HSN tomorrow as well) it's available for $24.95 plus FREE SHIPPING!!!

The Korres gift set contains 3 Cherry Full Color Glosses in Nude, Beige Pink, and Light Pink as well as a Pomegranate Lip Butter in a sheer coral color. All of these lip products from Korres are packed full of vitamins and moisturizing agents. The Lip Butter is especially moisturizing and is so smooth it does feel like butter!

The HSN price, like I said, is for a limited time, but the kit itself is also a limited edition so get it while you can. Happy Shopping!

The Lash Stash

Hey girls. I've been hitting the books so hard that I've hardly done anything else for the past week and a half. Hopefully, it will pay off. So I decided to take a little break this morning and check my email, which I haven't done in a few days. I was happy to see an email from Sephora. A few new products were highlighted, but I am most excited about one in particular: The Lash Stash. The Lash Stash is an awesome kit that includes 7 travel sized mascaras from some great brands.

0.14 oz Benefit A Little Bit BADgal Lash in Black
0.02 oz Blinc Kiss Me Mascara in Black
0.15 oz LORAC Publicity Stunt Lashes in Black
0.12 oz Smashbox Bionic Mascara in Black
0.24 oz Stila Multi-Effect Mascara in Black
1.0 oz Sephora Brand Lash Plumper in Black
0.17 oz Too Faced Lash Injection in Black

This is a great idea from Sephora. If there is one thing that I hear most people complain about it is the cost of mascara. So many girls want to try out new mascaras, but at $20-something a pop, it's not exactly the most affordable product to test out. On top of it, when you try out mascara in a store, you usually use a generic tester brush and not the brush that would come with the product so how do you really know if you would like the mascara when often the brush is more talked about then the actual make-up? At only $28, this is a great way to try out these products. All of the mascaras listed in this kit have a huge following. I will say that my 2 personal favorites are missing: Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! and Diorshow Mascara. This kit is a limited edition and only available at Sephora. Happy Shopping!

Sephora Safari Train Case

It seems that a lot of make-up addicts covet one case to hold their beauty goods...a Sephora Train Case. But at prices ranging from $78 to $110, this is out of the price range of many. I have good news. A quick window shopping session at Sephora.com informed me that a version of the highly coveted Sephora Train Case is now on sale for only $39. The Safari Train Case is on clearance for half price. This is an unbelievable deal for this product. If you're at all interested I wouldn't wait long. I wouldn't expect this product to last too long at this price. Happy Shopping!

Philosophy - The Soda Fountain Collection

Lately I have been obsessed with the scent of Root Beer. It all started with a Yankee Candle that my Sweetie bought from their Summer Collection: Root Beer Float. Not being a fan of Root Beer soda, I didn't really think I would love the scent of this candle, but I do! We lit it in the spare bedroom and one day as I typed away in the computer room, my nose was overtaken by a glorious scent. Was that the Root Beer Float candle I thought to myself? I couldn't believe it. It smelled just like root beer and just made me happy that summer was finally here.

So why am I telling you about my Root Beer Float candle story? Because I am ecstatic to report that Philosophy's latest collection is Soda Fountain Collection featuring a Root Beer scent: Barrels of Root Beer. Since this scent is my current obsession it couldn't have come at a better time. I will admit, had I not been in love with the scent thanks to that candle, I probably would have passed on this collection. This would have been one of those where I would have thought who wants to smell like a can of Root Beer? Let me just tell you, I do!

The scent of Root Beer is amazingly realistic. It has this amazing sweetness to it that just screams Summertime. I will say, it's not the most appealing color to be lathering you skin with (I don't think I need to delve further into the graphic image other than to say the gel is brown...use your imagination). Root Beer has all of the other qualities of past Philosophy 3-in-1 products so nothing new and exciting here other than the scent. It's available for only $16.

The Soda Fountain Collection features 3-in-1's in Not The Pits Cherry Cola and Fruit Punch as well. As of right now, Sephora doesn't even have Fruit Punch listed as a single 16 oz. 3-in-1. I don't know if they even plan on ever offering it as a single 16 oz. product. However, it is available in the gift set for $30.

I'm also happy that the Soda Fountain Collection does not stop with the 3-in-1's. The folks at Philosophy were also kind enough to include matching lip shines. Take your pick of Barrels of Root Beer or Not The Pits Cherry Cola. Each is priced at $12. I suggest picking up the Soda Fountain Lip Set so that you get both of those flavors plus the Fruit Punch flavor for only $28. If you haven't tried a Philosophy Lip Shine you are totally missing out. This collection doesn't feature any shimmer, but it is packed full of shine. On top of it, they are so moisturizing; something you wouldn't think you would get from a gloss that is all about the shine.

The Soda Fountain Collection is a Limited Edition, Sephora only release. Happy Shopping!

Tarte Eye Couture Day-To-Night Eye Palette

Tarte has released a new eye shadow palette! The new Eye Couture Day-To-Night Eye Palette is a must have. Packed full of 10 eye shadows (5 from the bronze family and 5 from the charcoal family), a double ended eyeliner pencil, a double ended eyeshadow brush, and a mirror, everything is stylishly housed in Tarte's signature metallic purple compact. With a retail value of $182, the $44 price tag is a steal. Plus, these palettes last such a long time. I have purchased every palette released by Tarte and can honestly say that I haven't used any of them up completely because there is so much product in it.

I just placed my order for this palette at Sephora.com so I haven't the pleasure of trying this on yet. No worries though because I know this will impress. The gist of this palette is it allows you to go from daytime to nighttime make-up with one handy dandy palette. Clearly that feat will be easy to attain. Use the bronze family shades to create your daytime look and kick it up to high gear with the charcoal family shades. And you can tell by looking at the swatches in the picture to the right, the "families" do not consist of 5 shades of bronze with only slight subtleties and 5 shades of charcoal with only slight subtleties. Although they are from those families, the shades actually cover a pretty decent spectrum.

As usual, all of the shadows are formulated with Tarte's signature skinvigorating™ ingredients and are paraben-, sulfate-, phthalate-, synthetic dye-, synthetic fragrance-, mineral oil-, and propylene glycol-free. I am not an environmentalist nor am I a greenie by any stretch of the imagination, however, I do like the idea of using more eco-friendly cosmetics. I mean how good could chemicals on the skin be??? It's been nice to watch Tarte establish itself as a greener product, introducing more organic and natural products. Happy Shopping!

Purity Made Simple High Foaming Daily Cleanser

Have you guys heard about Philosophy's newest product??? I'm so excited to say that they have created a foam version of Purity Made Simple! Purity is my staple facial cleanser. I absolutely love it. It is so gentle that I can rub it on my eyes to take my make-up off and there is no irritation. My skin is clear and soft. I am even more in love now that they've made it in foam form. I absolutely love foam products. The hand soaps in my bathrooms are the foaming ones from Bath and Body Works. They are so light and airy and just feel really clean, which is really what you want in a facial cleanser. Of course Philosophy must have known that I just bought a mother sized 32 oz. bottle of the old fashioned Purity and just wanted to tease me with the new release since I will definately have to use up what I have before I buy anything new. This new product is currently available at Sephora and retails for $21.50 for a 6 oz. bottle and $34.50 for a 12 oz. bottle.

Bourjois On Sale At Sephora

Wow...There are a lot of things going on today. While "window shopping" at Sephora.com I noticed that all of the Bourjois Cosmetics products are on sale. I don't know if this is a sign that Sephora will no longer be carrying the Bourjois line. I tried doing some internet research on the subject and can't find anything that states whether or not this is true. I did come across a bunch of blogs and message boards where Bourjois faithful fretted that some of their favorite products were being discontinued because their local Sephora didn't have them. However, if you visit Bourjois.com and click on where to buy, Sephora is not listed. As of right now, only Ulta.com and Ulta stores are listed.

Although I don't talk about it often, I will say that I am a fan of most of the Bourjois products I have tried. I absolutely love their Bourjois Effet 3D High Shine Lip Gloss in Rose Symphonic 20. Packed full of shine and sparkle, but it looks so natural when you put it on. It's like a cheaper version of MAC's Dazzleglass (although not as great as Dazzleglass, but at least it's available all of the time!). Their mascaras are also pretty nice too. They give me such full and dark looking lashes. So while it sucks that Sephora most likely will not be carrying the Bourjois any longer, the good news is that we get some great products at great prices. A quick skim of the products shows that the average savings as of today is about $5. Not bad. Happy Shopping!

Sephora On HSN

I was just channel surfing and found that Sephora is on HSN right now. They just featured a great deal from Lip Fusion. For only $36 you get 2, yes TWO, full size Lip Fusion gloss: 1 in Clear and 1 in your choice of four colors. Plus you get FREE SHIPPING!!! The HSN price for this duo is usually $59 which is a steal considering that the retail value is $74. Clearly the $36 plus FREE SHIPPING is unbelievable. Great deal if you haven't tried Lip Fusion but have always wanted to; great deal if you're already a Lip Fusion fan and just want to stock up. Make sure to browse around the Sephora section on HSN.com because there are a ton of items available at special prices and even more have FREE SHIPPING!!! Don't wait because they are selling out of products fast! Happy Shopping!!!

NARS Miami Sun Set

I don't know how I missed this, but I did. Sephora has an online only limited edition set from NARS. The Miami Sun Set features three products perfect for summer: an eye shadow duo in Sundance, a lip lacquer in Capucine, and a nail polish in Dovima. All of these shades are perfect for creating that beautiful sun-kissed glow that we all want during the summer. You can never have to many golden and beige shades of shadow! Also, if you've never tried a tangerine shade of lip color, especially in NARS lip lacquer form, you should definately check this out. I have a similar shade from NARS and it is absolutely gorgeous. Very versatile and not nearly as orangey on as in the pot. It really enhances the natural color of your lips...perfect for the summertime when you don't want to look to make-upy.

Truth be told, I am passing on this set because I do not wear nail polish. I know, how could someone who is make-up obsessed not use nail polish. Truth is that I never was into it and still have no desire to use it. So, being as I wouldn't use 1/3 of this set I see no reason to get it. But for those of you who are into the nail polish thing, I think this is a must have set.
