There’s a lot of different items that will be on sale and it’s always a good time to stock up on things like Lancome Bi Facil Eye Makeup Remover which will be on sale. There is a two item limit on sale items though.

You’ll see discounts from brands like It Cosmetics, Lancome, Clinique (Yes, Clinique Cleansing Balm will be 50% Off!), and many other brands. Items do tend to sell out fast so you might want to set your alarms. Typically the sale items pop up around 3AM EST in my experience. Popular items like Clinique’s Cleansing Balm and Lancome Bi Facil Eye Makeup Remover disappear fast so have your cart ready for check out by placing these items in the day before.

There’s no mention of items shipping free for Platinum or Diamond Members during this event. But I normally hit threshold easily enough during sales like this to get free shipping.

Set your reminds for Sunday, January 3rd and take advantage of the Ulta Love Your Skin Event 2021.

The Best Three Blushes I Tried in 2020

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

I dunno if 2020 was the year of the blush for me but it didn’t stop me from finding at least three awesome ones to love. I hope, I wish, I prayer that 2021 brings us some new blushes. I just want some glow-y gorgeous blushes for Spring! I feel like Urban Decay has never introduced a proper blush! They should get on that. And also, it’s been a day and an age since Too Faced did a nice blush! I want some new pretty blushes to love on this year!

That being said the year hasn’t been a complete bust because these three blushes are well worth your coin!

Here’s the Best Eye Cream I Tried in 2020

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

You wanna know the best eye cream I tried in 2020? I know you do because you might be sitting there with dry eyes too! I feel your pain! My eyes are terribly dry! You know what? I’ve learned after many, many tries with eye cream that they aren’t a cure all for dark circles, finer lines, puffiness, etc….no matter how much the marketing hypes these eye creams are chances are they aren’t going to treat all your issues. For me the most important aspect of an eye cream is moisture! If you have moisture you have success at looking years younger. I’ve tried many, many different eye creams over the years and many of them have been loved! Many I still use to this very day and others have been complete misses and end up never seeing the light of day again after being tucked into the skincare graveyard.

Skincare is a hit or miss experience! You’re going to find things that work for you and you’re going find others that don’t. This year, has definitely been a fun year to experiment with skincare because we’ve been staying home so much more! I’ve discovered a lot of eye creams I liked this year! I know Peter Thomas Roth Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Eye Cream became a fond favorite for me this year! Use EOY2020 to get it for $32 (it’s currently on sale weeeee!).

But there has been one eye cream this year that truly stood out for me. And it’s without a doubt the Heimish Marine Care Eye Cream (Get it 15% off with code NEWYEAR15) my very favorite. In my review, I liked this formula to Le Mer’s Eye Cream. It’s really thick, it’s very creamy, but it absorbs very easily into skin and feels like a burst of fresh water. It’s so hydrating and it truly goes a long way and making my finer lines look so much better. Finer lines are always going to look bad if you’re dry and this formula eases them considerable by providing a burst of intense hydration! Truly it’s one of the VERY, very few formulas I’ve tried that have really provided long term intense hydration to the delicate skin under my eyes!

I was happy to see iHerb started carrying this! They also have Heimish Cleansing Balm available which is awesome as well and I haven’t tried this before but will be shortly thanks to the sale the Heimish Marine Care Rich Cream!

If your eyes are dry, if you suffer from finer lines, I highly, highly recommend Heimish Marine Care Eye Cream! It’s my favorite eye cream of 2020!

Here’s Some Cute Mini Palettes from Sephora for $10 Bucks Each

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

Sephora Mini Pocket Palette Eyeshadow Palette are a new Spring 2021 launch featuring six eyeshadows each for $10 bucks. Listen, I never write off a cheap, cheesy Sephora Eyeshadow Palette because BAM:

sephora-the-delicate-eyeshadow-palette-fotd

sephora-the-delicate-fotd

That right there is the The Delicate Eyeshadow Palette that launched with the Sephora Holiday 2016 Collection and to this day I haven’t forgotten how great it was. So great that I hit pan on all the shades. It was awesome, it was cheap, and it looked really cheesy but it packed power. And that’s my story of why I never overlook a cheesy Sephora Eyeshadow Palette. You just never know….!

Sephora been really going cheap lately with a lot of their little collection launches. I suspect it’s to be more appealing to a younger demographic! I’m talking way young! Like in the 10-12 years of age area! You ever seen these little six year old kids doing makeup on Instagram and Tiktok…? I swear I was like 17 I think when I first wore blush. I don’t my dad would have let me out of the house if I slapped on eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick. He’s was typical strict European Dad! I do wonder if I ever have kids if I’ll let them wear makeup at a young age.

I mention this because these palettes sort of remind of Polly Pocket or something. They are way tiny but pack in six eyeshadows that are 0.0035 oz each with matte, shimmer, and metallic finishes!

I doubt we need these in all honesty but they are sort of cute in an odd way!

Sephora Mini Pocket Palette Eyeshadow Palette are available now at Sephora.

I’ll Try Anything Once Even Applying Retinol In A Stick Format!

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

Must be Spring because the skincare sticks are coming! For example, Peace Out Retinol Eye Stick ($28) joins the realms of anti-aging dodads we can slick under our eyes in the hopes all our fine lines will disappear. I’m only going to say it once and I’ll never admit to this again but there really is something terribly appealing about swiping stuff under your eyes, patting it in, and just going. It seems like minimal effort skincare at it’s best ya know? But….my anal side is like nooooo! I don’t wanna swipe anything under the delicate under eye area! I need to gently pat it into place! No swiping allowed!

But Peace Out could be onto something and convince me otherwise!

This new Retinol Eye Stick is a concentrated serum balm that treats eyes at night to target dryness while acting to smooth and firm eyes. It uses a powder peptide complex and an encapsulated retinol to that acts to soften finer lines. It even contains squalane, which happens to be one of the first ingredients, that helps skin to main moisture levels!

I’ll try anything once and the Peace Out Retinol Eye Stick isn’t too badly priced at $28. Why not give it a try?

Peace Out Retinol Eye Stick is available now!
