Rate This Post:

smashbox faces of fashion
Smashbox is the Today's special value on QVC tomorrow, and the deal looks pretty good, especially since you can get this on auto-delivery (and you can even buy today, as we have the advance order link!), which means you'll get new shades in December 2007, April 2008, and August 2008; or you can buy a single shipment, but I don't recommend it as you'll wish you'd gotten the other shipments when you see them popping up on ebay!)

Retail Value $116.00
QVC Price $58.00
Special Price $47.82
Shipping and Handling $5.22

  • Each shipment includes 0.93 oz photo finish foundation primer, 0.24 oz photo op under-eye brightener, 0.04 oz fusion cream eyeliner, 0.1 oz eye shadow trio, 0.33 oz blush trio, 0.12 oz photo finish lipstick, 0.2 oz lip gloss, precision eyeliner brush #28, angled eyebrow brush #12, 0.04 oz brow tech

    Review of Jillian Dempsey Collection

    Rate This Post:

    So I got this in yesterday and had to try most things on today:

    • Limited-Edition Ultra Color Rich Lip Conditioner - I was disappointed that this was not a color, per se, but it's a nice lip balm.
    • NEW Limited-Edition Morph Tones Cream Eyeshadow Duo - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Is she going to put out any more shades in this? Lov!
    • NEW Limited-Edition Apri-Glow Complexion Enhancer - This is ... weird. It definitely warmed up my face, but was a little on the orange side; I added tinted moisturizer on top and it looks ok, I think
    • Glazewear Liquid Lip Color in Tickled Pink - like this much more than expected - it really goes with the rest of the kit, v pretty.
    • Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara in Black - Didn't try this...
    • Ageless Results Day Cream1.7 fl. oz. - SPF 15 doesn't cut it for this fair gal, so I didn't try this either (I'm a neutrogena 45 SPF kinda girl)

    I totally want more of these morph tones! They're sheer, but so pretty.

    (oh, and the bag's great, too!)

    Beauty Finds: Avon Glazewear Lipstick

    Rate This Post:

    I randomly picked up an Avon brochure while I was out shopping at Kings, and I saw this really interesting lip product- Glazewear Lipsticks:

    What Avon says about them: Luscious color & glossy shine! High-performance gloss and luxury lipstick in one. Color-Gel formula delivers smooth, silky color that lasts and a shine that won’t quit.

    Basically, they're saying that these are one of those gloss sticks - lip gloss in lipstick form. I asked around on my enabling beauty forums, and the consensus was that these were pretty great, so I picked them up in pink kiss, champagne glow, and copper mink (pictured above, l - r).

    What Heather says about them: These are fantastic! They were cheap when I bought them ($4.99), and give a great deal of color with a ton of shine. My favorite is the champagne glow, a perfect every day color. I loved them so much I had that comment up on twitter for forever, and I also went out and bought (on Shelly's recommendation), Juicy Apricot, Raisin Glaze (which is totally your lips, but better!), and Honey Bare. I love them all - they're just as good, if not better, than the Benefit Lipsticks, and cheaper, too.

    The price has gone up on Avon to $8.00, but Shelly tells me that if you order through your avon representative, they can back order and still get you the $4.99 price.

    Sephora Beauty Insider - Benefit 24K Sexy Gold Lipstick

    Rate This Post:

    PERK ALERT: BENEFIT PRE-LAUNCH FOR BEAUTY INSIDERS ONLY!
    Calling all makeup trendsetters! Be the first to show off Benefit's new gilt-y lips: 24k Sexy Gold Lipstick. The sheer metallic color grants a golden glow that's stunning on its own or layered under your fave lipcolor.
     
    A Sephora exclusive, and Beauty Insiders get it first. $20. Buy it now!
    I'm not sure I'm actually going to try this - it really seems more of a gimmick than everything, and I'm positive I can spend $20 on something I'd use a lot more.  I'll definitely check it out when it hits stores, though.

    Review: BeneFit Cosmetics - Love your look - creaseless creamshadow/liner & silky finish lipstick

    Rate This Post:


    When I walked into Sephora a couple months ago, I saw the new Love your Look line by Benefit cosmetics. I've always been intrigued by Benefit, especially after I tried their Realness Of Concealness some time back. I was very intrigued by the Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner ($18 USD), and kept dithering about buying them or not. I finally gave in when April bought one in RSVP (color on top right of swatches below left), and of course I had to keep up with the Joneses! I picked up Birthday suit (pictured in the jar at left), and I really like it - it goes on smooth (even smoother than the Nars shadows I have) and lasts all day.

    In fact, I had to stop myself from running out the next day and buying Carte Blanche, Flatter Me, Skinny Jeans and Busy Signal - this is definitely a winner!

    I also ended up grabbing two shades of the Silky-Finish Lipstick ($16 USD ea) that Carmindy recommended in her promotion of her 5 minute face book: hug it out (left) and sugar rush (2 from bottom right in swatches)

    Again, this is also a winner - the hug it out shade is a bit more browny-pink than the pink pink shown here, but I love it. I showed incredible restraint by not running out and picking up swoonderful and sugar cookie as well.
