Calling all makeup lovers

I've been a long time fan of Nature's Source Mineral Cosmetics. I originally purchased a pigment stack from one of their mall kiosks a few years ago. Slowly I've been adding their products to my makeup collection ever since. I'll never need to buy eyeshadow again, I've got five different stacks of mineral pigment, colors for every look. I wear this product on a daily basis. I also love their mineral foundation which is available in a great combo kit or as a stand alone item.

Right now through November 26th, they're having a huge online promotion for their myspace friends. I can't tell you exactly what the promotion is, but I can assure you, I'm not missing this one and neither should you. If you like their products or want to try them out for the first time this is a great opportunity to stock up.

If you're not already one of their friends on myspace, make sure you add them as a friend so that you can read the bulletin that tells you exactly what the promotion is and what the code is to get it.

Makeup Cheer Up

Yesterday wasn't the greatest days as far as moods go. To cheer myself up, I did something I haven't done in a long time. I went down to Walgreens at lunch, because it's really close to work, and I browsed the makeup there. I ended up with just three items.

Loreal Endless in 730 Saucy Sangria, Loreal Bare Naturale Mineral Powder in 416 Natural Beige, Covergirl Lash Blast in Very Black
I decided the powder would be my purse backup for the Jane Iredale powder that I normally use. I figured it would be great for that considering there is a mirror on the back and a mini brush inside. I've tried Lash Blast before, but since I've been wearing mascara from the Lash Stash lately, I had forgotten how much I love it. The lipstick was just shouting "Wear me! I'm a great Autumn color!" as I walked by so I had to grab it.

Ultimately, it did cheer me up, so the plan was successful!

Another outfit geared towards the fall. These tights caused some stir, but definitely not as much as the floral tights.

30% off at urbandecay.com

I just saw this over on The Scented Life and I had to share it with you all. Urban Decay is sharing their friends and family discount with everyone until August 28th. I've heard people raving about the Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Supposedly it is the best product out there to stop eyeshadow from creasing. I have never gotten around to trying it yet though. This seemed like the perfect excuse to order it so I just bought it at 30% off at urbandecay.com! Use the promotion code FFL30 at checkout.

The Lash Stash

Out of all the makeup I've experimented with, the one thing that I love to experiment with the most is mascara. I'm constantly on the hunt for something more when it comes to mascara. So you can imagine my excitement when I got an email from Sephora introducing The Lash Stash.

The Lash Stash contains seven of Sephora's top selling mascara's in a "trial-size". It's perfect for me to try a whole bunch of different kinds of mascara to further my search for my favorite mascara.

Along with The Lash Stash, I ordered more O-Gloss and of course received free samples.

Included in the kit is:
Benefit A Little Bit BADgal
Blinc Kiss Me Mascara
LORAC Publicity Stunt Lashes
Smashbox Bionic Mascara
Stila Multi-Effect Mascara
Sephora Brand Lash Plumper
Too Faced Lash Injection in Black

I can't wait to try them all!

Lash love

I'm a huge sucker for mascara. My lashes are my favorite thing to make up on my face. I'm always looking for better mascara. I find a lot of brands that I like, but nothing that I fall in long term love.

It got me thinking, maybe its not the mascara, maybe its my lashes.

My hair stylist was telling me about a mutual friend of ours that tried Revitalash, a conditioner for eye lashes. The way he told it, our friend had to stop using Revitalash because his lashes grew too much. He was getting people asking if he was wearing mascara. As a male in the military, he wasn't loving that.

That's the only story I've heard from a user of Revitalash, but I'm basically sold.

However, since it carries a $150 price tag on Revitalash.com, I'd like to hear some other stories before I impulsively buy a product that I've only heard of yesterday.

I'd love to hear stories from people that have used it, good or bad.

Product Review - Indelible Gel Eyeliner

I've been wearing gel eyeliner for a couple years now. In my opinion, pencil liner can't even compare to gel. I will never go back.

As I was running out of the last brand of liner that I used, I decided to see what other brands were out there. I discovered that Loose Lips NY had a waterproof gel eyeliner. I've tried products from Loose Lips in the past, such as the brow quad and the mineral foundation. I was quite pleased with those products so I decided to give their gel liner a try.

The Indelible Gel Eyeliner arrived on Monday and after two days of wearing it, I love it! It goes on super easy with the use of the mini deluxe fluff brush. It stays on really well and it doesn't come off till I want it to. I decided to try my regular makeup remover before my waterproof makeup remover and the regular worked perfect. I love the color I chose, magnetism. Its a black color with some very faint gold specks.

I would highly recommend gel liner to all that wear eye liner, and at $20, the Indelible Gel Eyeliner is a perfect way to get started. Right now they are offering free shipping with the code juneship through 6/20 on orders over $15. Order here, and don't forget the brush!

Product Review - My Sephora Order

I finally got my Sephora.com order last friday. I had a chance to try the stuff out over the weekend.
That big box for this small product...

I love the Smashbox products, O-glow and O-gloss. The color is a prefect, natural color for spring and summer.

The Fiberwig Mascara is outstanding. It was definitely worth the splurge, my lashes looked fantastic. One delightful discovery about the mascara is the way it comes off. Instead of blackening the area around the eye, it comes off in clumps.

The eyebrow trimmer brush is a great invention. Now I can have perfectly groomed brows without leaving it up to the hand of other people.

I will most likely purchase these products again and I would definitely recommend all four of them.

New product!

Last week I ordered Brow Quad from Loose Lips NY.

It arrived today at work. (I love having things delivered to me at work by the way, it makes the day exciting!)

Sherry is so cute, she always sends a cute personalized letter and this time she sent me a lip gloss with my order! How fun!

I can't wait to try out the product and see how it works!
