Grab Those Splurge Items Today on QVC

Today in honor of Singles Day, QVC is offering 6 Easy Pays on a whole bunch of their luxury items. I almost never see 6 easy pays...usually it's three, sometimes four. But Easy Pay makes it much easier to afford big-ticket items without having to pay for them all at once. 

You don't need a QVC card or anything like that...any credit card will work. You purchase the item online through QVC.com and then every month, they'll bill your credit card in installments! So it's like putting it on layaway except you get the item right away instead of having to wait. There's no other fees involved either, they just take the price of the item (plus tax and shipping) and divide it by 6! I bought my Clarisonic Smart Profile this way last year and it was great because I didn't have to spend the $269 up front (by the way, it's available again this year!). 

So here are some of the amazing products that are available for 6 Easy Pays (and all of them can be returned up until January 31st 2016- even after using them, so you are trying these with no risk)...

Clarisonic Smart Profile Sonic Cleansing System ($269- or $44.83 on 6 Easy Pays)- I took advantage of this last year and upgraded my Clarisonic Mia. The Smart Profile is amazing...it has a facial brush, body brush, and foot smoothing disc that you can switch out. The body brush was worth it for me...I cleanse my body with it instead of using a shower pouf and it exfoliates so well (and gets rid of those little bumps on the back of your arms and on your legs). If you don't like it, you have until January 31, 2016 to return it (even if you've already used it).

Sephora Ombre Obsession Face Palette Review & Swatches

Looking for something to buy during the Sephora VIB event? How about the stunning Sephora Ombre Obsession Face Palette ($34)? I went into my local store a few days ago with my Rouge 20% off coupon and ended up totally caving on this palette when I saw it in person. It's huge! Like, literally the size of a dessert plate, I kid you not. Remember when I posted about this palette a while ago? I was picturing this to be about the size of a CD, but yeah...nope! When I saw it in the store, it suddenly seemed to be worth the $34 price tag. Also, Sephora Collection can sometimes be hit or miss for me (although lately I've been loving everything from them) but this is definitely a hit. 

Let's take a closer look! 

Mally 5 Pc Shadow Stick Extra Collection Review & Swatches

I recently saw the Mally 5 Piece Shadow Stick Extra set ($44.54 on QVC) a few weeks ago and I ordered one before they even finished the presentation. Let me just start by saying that I love Mally and don't talk about her products nearly enough. She is such a beautiful person inside and out, and her products do exactly what she says they will...period. Even though I focus mainly on drugstore products here, I always say that I don't mind paying more for a product that performs well and hers have never let me down. 

One of my favorite Mally products is her Evercolor Shadow Sticks. They are truly "bulletproof" as Mally claims...no fading, no creasing, they last until you take them off and they're so easy to use! They're a bit pricey though...if you go down to your local Ulta store, you'll pay $25 for one of them. Last year, I bought a Holiday set from QVC which made them much more affordable and I've been using them regularly ever since. That's why the second this year's holiday set came on the screen, I knew I was ordering one! It's $44.54, which makes these only $8.90 each, which is like drugstore prices! These are also a brand new formula, packaging, and shades so keep reading and I'll fill you in on all the details...

The It Cosmetics Most Wished For Holiday Palette is Here!

I'm a huge fan of IT Cosmetics and have reviewed a lot of their products here on the blog, so I'm really excited about their Special Edition Most Wished For Holiday Palette ($49.98 at QVC). This is a perfect opportunity to try a bunch of IT Cosmetics' best sellers and it's also the perfect gift for the makeup lover in your life! It even comes gift-wrapped with a beautiful silver bow, complete with a blank tag to fill out, so it's ready to go! Let's take a closer look at what's included: 

Profusion Make Me Blush Set- Blush Boutique Review & Swatches

The other day I wanted to go to Walgreens to see what was new because this time of year, the holiday sets start to hit the shelves. But lately, I have a hard time just going to Walgreens because the one in my town is right next door to a petting zoo that my 2 year old loves! He usually cries if we go into Walgreens first because he thinks I'm not taking him to see the animals....so I take him there first and then we can go to Walgreens. Haha...at least the petting zoo is only open for a few more weeks and I'll be able go straight into Wags without making that pit stop.

So after we fed the goats, sheep and cows, we headed in (with my son singing "Old McDonald" at the top of his lungs) and right in front, an employee was starting to put out the holiday sets. A lot of them are the same ones I've seen in years past, but then one caught my eye...it's a set of 4 Profusion Blush Boutique blushes with a blush brush and it was only $5. Done and done.

New! Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant

If you're a chocoholic like me, you'll be super excited to know that Fresh has just released a brand new scrub at Sephora...Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant ($45). It's infused with cocoa butter and coconut oil and contains crushed cocoa and coconut shells to buff and polish your skin to perfection.

I have to say, I was obsessed with their Brown Sugar Body Polish for a while, but it was too expensive to keep buying all the time, and I found that the Tree Hut scrubs from the drugstore did a good job for only a few bucks. Still, despite the price tag, this is chocolate and I might need to treat myself to at least one jar of the Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant. Also, I think this would make such an amazing gift, because who couldn't use a spa-quality body scrub (especially one that smells heavenly like chocolate)? The women in my life will definitely be getting one of these this holiday season!

You can find the Fresh Cocoa Body Scrub at Sephora.com

Sneak Peek Inside The New NYX Rocker Chic Palettes

If you're not following nyxcosmetics on Snapchat, I have a sneak preview for you! I saw this on their Snapchat today and took some screenshots to show you inside these palettes I posted about earlier this week. 

These have five eyeshadows inside and super cool studded packaging. They'll be selling them before their official release date at their brand new NYX store in Santa Anita grand opening on 10/2, but I'm guessing we'll see these on the NYX website and in Ulta pretty soon after that. 

Sephora Collection Ombre Obsession Palettes For Holiday 2015

Sephora Collection has just released two brand new Ombre palettes for Holiday 2015 and I am drooling over how beautiful they are! There's an eyeshadow palette and a face palette with blushes and a highlighter (my fave!). Let's take a look...

Sneak Peek- Too Faced Love Flush Blush Palette

Just when I thought, "Ok, I have my Tarte holiday blush palette, I'm all set", Too Faced goes and does this:

Yup, a Love Flush blush palette is coming out soon, although I don't know when or how much it will be just yet. As much as I'm loving my Tarte Bling It On blush palette, I find myself wanting this one too.

Photo from @makeupbyvirizun on Instagram

It looks like it's a really long palette...I wonder why they didn't do 3 on top and 3 on the bottom instead of 6 across. It looks cool like this but depending on how big it is, it might be hard to store. It makes me wonder if these pans are like, super small. 

What do you guys think? Yay or nay? 

Tarte Bling It On Holiday 2015 Amazonian Clay Blush Palette Swatches

I just got the Tarte Bling It On Amazonian Clay Blush palette in the mail today and I couldn't wait to open it up and swatch it! This palette is $44, a Sephora exclusive and is part of the Tarte Holidaze collection. I have never owned any of the Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes, even though I've been hearing amazing things about them. Every time I go to Sephora I can't decide because there are so many beautiful shades...and since I can't afford to buy all the ones I like, I was never able to settle on just one shade. With this palette, I didn't have to...finally, I can try five shades at once! Let's take a look: 

Sneak Peek of NYX Fall & Holiday Collection

NYX Cosmetics has a bunch of new products coming out this fall and early next year and I was able to get a sneak peek thanks to Milly Almodovar Thompson, Senior Beauty Editor at Cosmo for Latinas. Her Instagram (@beautylogicblog) and Snapchat (beautylogicblog) accounts are always featuring the newest products to come across her desk, so if you love sneak peeks, her accounts are definitely the ones to follow! 

The first sneak peek I saw was on Instagram and it's an Ombre Blush collection that's coming out in February, 2016. She said that they have "two silky colors blended into one perfectly coordinated shade" and that the "pigment is CRAZY!" They're going to be $10 each.

Next, I headed over to Snapchat where she previewed items from the Fall 2015 and Holiday 2015 collection.
I took some screenshots and tried to get as many products as I could. First up are the Rocker Chic palettes which will be out in October.

I can see three different shades in these photos...

and the outside of the packaging is studded, hence the Rocker Chic vibe!

Next are the Beauty School Drop Out palettes. The one at the top of the photo looks like it has 80 eyeshadows (I count 8 across and 10 down) and blushes and lipsticks on the other side. The second palette in the middle of the photo has 35 eyeshadows and it looks like blushes, highlighters and bronzers.
At the bottom of the photo, it looks like a possible blush/contour palette.
I'm guessing these will be out for Holiday, but I'm not 100% positive.

The last sneak peek she shared are these Sculpt and Highlights out in January. It's hard to tell what type of applicator these will have but it looks like they're double-ended and that they might possibly be a liquid formula with a lip gloss style applicator.  I recently reviewed the NYX Wonder Stick which is a similar concept...double ended highlight and contour, but those are in a solid cream formula.

What do you think of the new NYX sneak peeks? Does anything excite you or are you not impressed? 

Tarte Holiday 2015 Now at Ulta

The Tarte Holiday 2015 Collection has landed at Ulta and there are some products that are different than the ones at Sephora, so I thought I'd share and also recap what's at Sephora so you can decide which products are best for you. 

Sneak Peek INSIDE the Becca Afterglow Palette

Yesterday I brought you a sneak peek of the Becca Afterglow Palette that's coming to Ulta on September 27th ($39.50) and I've been searching for inside photos to show you guys. I finally found some on Instagram courtesy of one of my favorite accounts to follow, @trendmood1. Here they are, and it's beautiful!  It does look pretty small, especially next to the props in the photo below, but at least there seems to be more room around the pans vs. the Hourglass Ambient Edit palette, plus this is half the price!

I think this makes up my mind, I will definitely be returning the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit and getting this one. It's half the price and so beautiful!! 

What do you think? Will you be getting this when it comes out? 

Sneak Peek: Becca Afterglow Palette!

I've been following Milly Almdovar Thompson (Senior Beauty Editor, Cosmo for Latinas) on Instagram and Snapchat for a while now and she always has the best sneak peeks. She shares a lot of new products that are coming across her desk before we hear about them and last night, I saw one that really jumped out at me on Snapchat. It's the Becca Afterglow palette, which will be a combination of blush and highlighters. It's launching on September 27th exclusively at Ulta and will cost $39.50. 

Know what I'm thinking? If you were disappointed by the size of the Hourglass Ambient Edit palette, this might be a great alternative! Becca's highlighters and blushes are amazing and this is half the price of the Hourglass palette. Even if this is the same size, the price is soo much better! 

I'll continue to share sneak peeks with you and as soon as I see what this looks like inside, I'll post it for you guys!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Swatches & First Impression

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit ($80 at Sephora) is perhaps one of the most highly anticipated releases for Holiday 2015. For me, the fact that it contained Hourglass' famous face powders, blushes and a bronzer all in one beautiful compact meant that I had to get it the minute it launched. But is it worth the splurge? Read on to find out...

Kat Von D Holiday 2015 Now at Sephora

The Holiday sets keep coming with two new offerings from Kat Von D!

What do you think, will you be indulging in either set? 

Tarte Holiday 2015 at Sephora

The Holiday sets launch today at Sephora, so there's lots of newness to share with you guys! So far, I count seven new products and I know there are more coming at Ulta...but that's a different post because they're not available just yet. Let's take a look...

Bling It On Amazonian Clay Blush Palette ($44)- I'm most excited about this one because you can't have too many of these blushes...they're amazing! This palette contains Fetching, Dollface, Prim, Smashing and Beaming, none of which I have so I'll definitely be picking this up! 

Stila A Whole Lot of Love Set for Holiday 2015

One of my favorite Instagram accounts to follow is @beautylogicblog and it's Milly Almodovar Thompson, Senior Beauty Editor at Cosmo for Latinas. She always has the best sneak peeks and I love living vicariously through her as she gets all the new products across her desk on a daily basis. 

I just saw this on her Instagram yesterday and wanted to share it with you guys! It's Stila's A Whole Lot of Love gift set, a $225 value for $59. 

You get 20 matte, pearl, and shimmer eyeshadows, 4 blushes, and a deluxe size Huge Extreme Lash Mascara, which is the new one that just came out over the summer. I'm not sure when this will be out yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I do!

The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Holiday 2015 Palette is Almost Here!

Last month, I posted a sneak peek of a new Hourglass Ambient palette that's set to arrive for Holiday 2015 but I didn't have much information about it to share with you. Now I have all the details including this link to get on the waiting list...and if you're wanting this I highly recommend signing up because there is major interest in this palette and I don't see it lasting more than a day! 

It's called the Ambient Lighting Edit and will cost $80, according to the Hourglass website. It's a limited edition and features one brand new shade called Iridescent Strobe Light (top middle).
