Sneak Peek: Lorac Bejeweled Take Two Eye Shadow Palette Trio

Still the best deal around the Lorac Bejeweled Take Two Eye Shadow Palette Trio is three great gifts in one!

This palette features three jewel bedazzled compacts featuring four eyeshadows each. I’m kinda in love with the idea of taking one of these breaking it up and pairing it with one of the For the Love of Lipgloss Sets from Tarte. Let’s see broken down that’s ten bucks for the gloss and another $11.60 for a quad so a neat $20 buck gift for a friend plus some extra change to add maybe a brush, a pretty bag, some tissue paper, and a card!

Awesome yes?

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream

Juice Beauty is the first brand to introduce CC Cream to the US market (and no Olay doesn’t count considering they simply renamed a product they already had available).

CC Creams are the next generation BB Cream and I’m sure you’ll see a ton of it as we head into Winter 2012 and Spring 2013. “CC” stands for Conceal and Correct and offers the same benefits as a BB Cream but in a beefier formula.

MAC has two exclusive collections that will release to Nordstrom and directly at MAC store locations. It’s a little confusing with the mass amount of releases MAC Holiday 2012 includes I’d say….!

The Sinfully Chic Collection will be exclusive to Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com where as Divine Desire will be launched exclusive at MAC store locations. The rest of the MAC Collection will be available wherever MAC is sold, directly from their site, or at your favorite counter of choice.

Take a look!

Sephora + Pantone Universe Alchemy of Color Collection for Holiday 2012

Good Morning!

I’m a little behind on comments, a lot behind on e-mails, and haven’t had a chance to say hey to any of you on Twitter lately. Sorry!

I hope you’re having a great week.

I know you’re all terribly eager for word on Sephora Friends and Family 2012 but sadly I got nada kids. Not a whisper of a rumor, nor a word….all is silent. I know bloggers have been speculating that it started today but I tried the typical coupon code, FF2012, but it doesn’t work. So much for starting on the 18th but the day is yet young so who knows what will happen. Of course, as soon as I hear anything I’ll let you all know.

And by the way you might want to add the Sephora + Pantone Universe Holiday 2012 Collection to your Friends and Family Wishy List because it looks quite beautiful.
