Sephora Awesomeness: HUGE 100-Point Reward At Checkout

Sephora’s expected Friends and Family discount has caused quite a stir. Namely because the company has decided to pretend this discount is some top-secret, little known event that has somehow erroneously leaked to the public.

Sephora’s Amazing 100-Point Reward

Naturally, like most smart shoppers, I use discount codes as an opportunity to stock up on my staple products. One such product I fill my cabinets with is cleanser. Since I started using Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple facial cleanser, I’ve been hooked. It’s a powerful makeup remover, helps keep acne in check and is moderately gentle. Best of all, the price-point is moderate, especially if you purchase a value size. [Read more…] about Sephora Awesomeness: HUGE 100-Point Reward At Checkout

JESSIE POWERS
National Educator

Born and raised in Portland, OR, Jessie was drawn to beauty at a young age and used to mix her own make up concoctions using a chemistry set she received as a gift.

Jessie has been with MAKE UP FOR EVER since 2000, and was recently appointed role as National Educator for the brand.

Jessie’s make up philosophy is simple: “Do what makes you happy and keep your mind open to all possibilities. If you want to wear red glitter at age 80 – you should. Make up is transformative and powerful but it can also be frivolous and fun.”

I’ve been dying to sample Violent Lips product for quite some time. After all, how else can a makeup commoner like me achieve an intricate lip-look like the sparkling red lips above? Once I got these glitterly lip appliques in house, I was still too nervous to try them out! I took one look at the oversized product with trim lines drawn on the back, and got arctic-cold feet. It seemed way too complicated!

Good news for Moms who read this blog. You are ALREADY an expert at applying Violent Lips lip appliques! [Read more…] about Violent Lips Glitterati Collection

Poppy King and Supercalifragilipstick!

It has been quite a while since I’ve written about the fabulous Poppy King, and her equally fab line of lip makeup Lipstick Queen. I’ve been eyeballing Kate Spade’s recently launched line of Supercalifragilipstick lipsticks, unsure of why exactly they keep catching my eye. That’s when I found out… Kate Spade’s new lipstick line is a collaboration between Kate and Poppy King! There’s simply something about Poppy’s style that always catches my attention, and her product is second-to-none, so one can only hope Kate Spade has also embraced Poppy’s

Currently, the online selection is just some classics: Pop Art Pink, Bashful Blush, Fuchsia Fete and Adventurous. Also offered by the brand are super cute makeup bags featuring swatches of all of the lipstick shades. I guess if you’d like to dabble in them, you’ll need to find a boutique near you!

Retail price is $24 per lipstick.

Lavanila’s Latest: Vanilla Blackberry

Lavanila Vanilla Blackberry Review Fragrance

Near my house, there’s an adorable farm that also happens to have an amusement park. My family is a fixture at this farm–it’s way too fun during the summer months! They also happen to make the most fabulous baked goods, using their own fresh produce and other locally grown produce as ingredients. Since discovering their Marion Berry pie, I’ve stopped baking for Thanksgiving dessert. Their pie is 100x better than anything I’d make! [Read more…] about Lavanila’s Latest: Vanilla Blackberry
