Tarte Chic to Cheek Amazonian Clay Blush Set Review & Swatches

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Tarte Chic to Cheek Holiday Blush Set

The Tarte Chic to Cheek Deluxe Amazonian Clay Blush Set ($35) is a new limited edition blush set that contains Amour, Classic, Prim, and Daydream Amazonian Clay Blush shades. The nicest thing about the Tarte Chic to Cheek Amazonian Clay Blush Set is its uniqueness. You run across plenty of Holiday Lipgloss Sets, plenty of Makeup Brush Sets, and of course, plenty of palettes but it’s a rarity brands are releasing a blush set! Especially one that contains individual shades that aren’t bound up in a palette!

So, if you’re a blush girl or guy, I’m sure you’ll want to snatch up the Tarte Chic to Cheek Amazonian Clay Blush Set!

Sephora 20% Off for Rouge & VIB

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Sephora Holiday 2014 Gift Sets, Palettes, & Brush Sets

For updated codes and information for 2016 please see my new post by clicking here.

I’ve also updated info below!

Sephora 20% Off VIB Rouge Event starts November 4th in stores and online at Sephora.com using promo code 20ROUGE and ends November 7th for VIB Rouge Members. There are no exclusions for the 20% Off and you can get anything you like with the promo code in stores or online as well as within Sephora’s at JCPenny.

Just a note the Sephora 20% Friends and Family Event for Rouge and VIB members is upcoming! I do not have codes yet (not sure if they will be universal or if there will be one code for everyone to use like last year) but I did want to give you a heads up that the event starts for Rouge Members on November 4th and ends on November 10th at Sephora.com (you’ll likely get an invite for in store use via e-mail or snail mail if you’re on Sephora’s mailing list). For VIB members the sale stars on November 5th and ends on November 10th. I have no info if BI members will get a discount but will keep you posted! During these dates you can take 20% off of ANYTHING at Sephora! So if your total is $100 you get $20 off, if you’re total is $200 you get $40 off, and so on and so fourth! There is no minimum and no maximum sale so you can buy something for $5 bucks and get the discount or you can buy an entire cart worth $600 and get 20% off the total! There are no exclusions on anything during the sale.

Update: The sale promo code will be GIFTVIB for VIB memvbers and GIFTROUGE for Rouge Members! Click here for updated information about the upcoming sale!

I have no insider information about there being something more happening for Rouge members or if they’ll be other coupons upcoming. These dates are from the Sephora Affiliate program so you can use them to mark your calender for when the sale starts! I do know there will be Black Friday deals and something interesting upcoming for Cyber Monday too but more on that later!

As more information becomes available I’ll be sure to let you know.

Happy Shopping!

Buy One for Friend, Keep One for Yourself Holiday Gift Sets

friend holiday gift ideas

Ok, ok, I admit it I’m a buy one for a friend, buy one for me kinda gift giver! I’m particularly guilty of this when I shop for my sister. Typically I’ll sit down at my computer late Thanksgiving night and I do all my shopping for my sister online in one go. I seem to always get into trouble during this time as there are so many sales and cute items and I end up purchasing gifts not only for her but one for me as well.

So yeah, I have that buy one for her, buy one for me gift mentality.

This can prove a good thing though with so many Holiday Gift Sets on QVC that can be broken down into two gifts or even sometimes three or four! This can save a good deal of money as for $20 to $50 you get three or four gifts out of one item!

So here’s my list of great Buy One for Friend, Keep One for Yourself Holiday Gift Sets!
