Word on the street is that the Sephora Friends and Family 2010 discount will start on October 21, 2010. The promotional code is still unknown at this point, but based on the codes used in prior years it’s an educated guess that FF2010 will likely be the discount code!
The Sephora Friends and Family discount is generally 20% off, but you never know if Sephora will be more generous this year! Start working on that holiday gift list!
In the meanwhile, if you’re looking for a hot deal, be sure to check out the SALE section. Among the smokin’ hot deals I spotted are:
- A Pucci Vivara Rollerball for $10 (original price of $25),
- Sephora Favorites LashStash Mascara for $27 (original price of $39),
- Stila Paint Your Pout Red Palette for $15 (original price $45),
- Philosophy The Supernatural Mascara for $12 (original price $22),
- Urban Decay Smoke Out Kit for $15 (original price $34),
- tarte Miss Fix-It Palette for $22 (original price $44),
- Korres Sugar & Spice Set for $8 (original price $18) and
- Cosmedicine Speedy Recovery Acne Treatment System for $24 (original price $48).
I’m a bargain-hunter, at my core. Rather than purchase inexpensive products on an as-needed basis like some frugalistas, I prefer to stock up on luxe bargains… striking like a cobra when I spot a great deal.
The Close Up Eye Tutorial Kit by LORAC is a perfect example of the type of deal I’m always on the prowl to purchase. For only $36, this value kit has a retail value of $110 if you were to buy each item individually. Unlike some value sets that offer discounts on outlandish shades, LORAC Close Up Eye Tutorial Kit contains must-have/frequently-used beauty products for eye makeup application. The set includes a Behind the Scenes Eye Primer, Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio in Movie Star, Special Effects Mascara in Black, Front of the Line PRO Eyeliner in Black and Double Ended Blending/ Smudging Brush.
Perhaps my favorite aspect of this kit is the enclosed eye makeup application tutorial, with Carol Shaw’s own step-by-step instructions on how to apply her fabulous products. I’ll admit, I’ve followed Carol’s four-step instructions to achieve a “Natural Eye”, and LOVE the result. It’s truly a gorgeous and easy to achieve look for daytime.
But, if you’re the type who frequently heads out for drinks after work, you’ll love Close Up all the more! Tote your kit with you to work, and flip the manual’s page from “Natural Eye” to either “Sexy Cat Eye” or “Signature Smokey Eye” to build upon your original look for evening fun!
Retail price for the LORAC Close Up Eye Tutorial Kit is $36.

Estee Lauder has recently introduced the NEW Pure Color EyeShadow! The collection contains an incredible 48 shades in 4 different finishes (matte, satin, luminous and metallic)! I’ve been playing with the latest and greatest formula, and am extremely impressed. The color is so intense, and so rich, and so… well, it’s just perfect!
I recently had the opportunity to sample Estee Lauder’s Pure Color EyeShadow in Sepia Sand (satin finish). This medium putty-shade is a must have for women who love to keep it simple. Sepia Sand is a one stop shop! It’s such a beautiful, neutral shade, it can be applied to the lids and/or crease, blended upward and worn stand-alone.
Retail price is $20 per shadow.
