I saw these Milani Lip Flash Pencils in CVS last week and they really peaked my interest. Since they were on sale for BOGO 50% I decided to give them a try. I always feel confident about buying cosmetics from CVS because they has a good return policy, you can always bring them back… so I grabbed 4!
The pencils are similar to other lip pencils like NYX, however these are very metallic and have shimmer in them. Very FLASHY!! Perfect for the holidays of course.
So I went ahead got a jump start on my list for Santa and picked myself up the Tarte Jewelry Box palette since I received my $15 Beauty Insider gift card from Sephora. I’ve had my eye on this one for a while and it’s so amazing!
The palette comes with 16 shimmer shadows, 16 matte shadows, a highlighter, a bronzer, and 5 long wear eyeliners. It is a limited edition set and only available at Sephora. It makes a great gift for the holidays! It even comes with a cute little necklace!
What Tarte says:
What it is:
An exclusive, limited-edition palette packed with 32 new eyeshadows, eight lip glosses, a mineral bronzer, a new shimmering powder, five deluxe long-wearing eyeliners, and a detachable necklace.What it does:
This versatile palette is a veritable treasure trove packed with new and limited-edition products and shades along with such Tarte bestsellers as a full-size of Park Avenue Princess Mineral Powder Bronzer. As an added bonus, this festive jewelry box comes with its own “off the chain” gilded trinket, guaranteed to be your go-to accessory for holiday parties and year-round.
I’ve swatched all the eye colors, pencils and highlight/bronzer…
I am all about saving money and being fab on a budget! One great way to save a few dollars is to team manufacture coupons (i.e. coupons direct from the brand) and sales in store.
Here is a great example how the two work so well together. Maybelline is currently 40% off at Walgreens (check your local weekly ad). I also had a coupon from Maybelline for $3 off a purchase of any 2 Maybelline Eye Studio products. These can be found on display in most drugstores, Ulta, etc. The coupon can be used in any store that accepts manufacture coupons, so if you are like me, grab a couple for future purchases.
So I picked up 2 of the Eye Studio cream shadow trios and the new Falsies Black Drama. The trios are regularly $6.29, on sale for $3.77 each, then take $3 off. So I essentially paid $4.55 for both.
The proof is in the pudding… I saved $11! More than 50% off the total retail price for all the items!
So stash your coupon in your wallet and wait for a great sale for super savings!
