Giveaway: Make Up For Ever Extravagant Glamour Set (ends Dec 20th)


Having hauled so much recently, I purposely bought something during the Sephora VIB Sale to share the joy of consumeristic tendencies with one of my readers. And in general I just wanted to make someone's holidays a bit more exciting with the chance to win a great holiday gift set from Make Up For Ever! (This giveaway is open internationally.)


This set contains:

- 0.12 oz Rouge Artist Intense in 43 Moulin Rouge

- 0.04 oz Aqua Eyes in Matte Black 0L
- 0.23 oz Smoky Extravagant Mascara in Black

I love Make Up For Ever and I know a lot of people don't go for this brand just because of the price point. For me there's something special about using their products since many of them are geared towards not only lay make-up enthusiasts but make up artists as well. I hope I make your day if you win!

This giveaway is international  and open till Dec 20th.

FOTD 4: 'Cause I'm on Purple


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Continuing on my purple mood, I remembered when I took some FOTD shots for a purple eye look I did...probably more than month ago. Sometimes we just want to purple it all up, and a good way to go is with the eyes.

Sometimes I'm wrong: Purple Lipsticks


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

If you remember my Autumn Picks post, I had predicted that oranges and orangey reds would be my companions through the blustery days. But, what I've actually been reaching for, has surprisingly been a bit cooler.

Royal & Langnickel Silk Pro C111-S Synthetic Blush Brush

In my haul video, I expounded on how much I loved a Royal & Langnickel Blush Brush. Considering how much I enjoy this brush, I thought it might be a good idea to do up a little post about it.

Collective Haul: David's Tea, Sephora VIB and IMATS Toronto 2013

One of the things you might want to know about me, is that it takes me a LONG time to decide on what to buy. (This is very very evident in the video.) But it seems...I didn't have that much of an issue purchasing things this past weekend. (I'm also a serial returner. So don't be surprised if I end up returning a few of these things). Watch in HD!

Peachy Nudes? Yea...I've Got A Few...


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

I seem to like my nude lipsticks. Or at least, that's what the little stash of nude colors in my lipstick drawer tells me. Since my lipstick challenge, I've been trying to pair down my collection and selling/giving away colors I don't use as much. Looking at my nudes, I started wondering if any in my stash were dupes.

Something Important: Polysporin Eye Ointment


(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

OK. This is not a glamorous post. But it is a necessary one!!!

This is also an atypical post since it's more rambling than normal and there really isn't anything to it, except to vent my frustration. 

For the past three or so weeks, my right eyelid has been puffy, flaky and itchy. Has this happened to you??????

There are a lot of blushes out there. A lot. So it might be easy to overlook how spectacular Mauve is.

Lolita Lempicka Perfume Coffret

(Unfortunately photos in this post were lost due to The Great Deletion of 2014. Some efforts to re-do photos will be made but not all posts will be redone.)

Sometimes I spend a bit of time at Sephora paying homage to their perfume wall and sometimes I end up discovering a new fragrance or brand. I came across a Ms. Lolita Lempicka and was pretty taken by her offerings.
