Kopari Coconut Melt is on sale this week during the sucky Sephora Weekly Wows (oops sorry did I type that out loud?! You were thinking it too so don’t be shocked!). It’s typically $38 and I’m the frugal gourmet and think that’s a little expensive so I tend to buy it on QVC and put it on a beauty mortgage.

I’m the person that won’t blink at paying $150 for eye cream or $60 for lipstick but present me with some sort of body cream that costs $38 and I sincerely cringe in agony.

Real life reenactment when someone rings up $38 for Kopari Coconut Melt:

I just can’t.

So, I’m pretty stoked that it’s $19.99 today. I picked up a few to stash away. This stuff is greasssssssssssy AF but oh my god what it does for my dry legs! I use it overnight and it leaves my legs so smooth and soft. I also use it as a shaving oil and as a lip balm (decanted into a tiny pot).

Love it!

Totally worth scoring at this price.

Morning!

It’s almost Friday! Ready for the weekend? I am! I am so so ready. I’m a bit tucked out and I’m looking forward to a very chill weekend. It’s Father’s Day so my family will be doing our traditional dad’s day brunch and BBQ. I suspect my father won’t be making an appearance to the event considering he’ll be sitting on the couch for the next several weeks watching World Cup. Haha! True story. Typically European dad can’t miss out on the football game.

Anyway, for an early start to your weekend just a heads up that you can snag either the Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism Eyeshadow Palette or Subculture for $25 each plus free shipping at macys.com. Macy’s has quite a few Bobbi Brown items on sale at the moment too so exploring their sale section might be a worthy way to procrastinate part of your work day away.

Enjoy!

Tarte Love, Trust & Fairy Dust Eye & Cheek Palette ($39) is a new eyeshadow and highlighter palette inspired by fairies and flowers. The palette is in the vein of Tarte’s most recent Make Believe in Yourself and Be a Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadow Palette but the eyeshadow formula is Tarte’s more traditional formula and not the creamier metallics we seen in those past two palettes.

Don’t get me wrong, there are a few metallics here but the mattes actually dominate. None the less, I purchased it anyway because the shimmery pinks and cranberries were quite appealing not to mention it appeared like a unique and different shade selection from Tarte and not the same old nude, neutral palettes they tend to favor.

If you’ve been wanting to get your hands on the Tarte Be a Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadow Palette I suspect you’ll have your chance to do so soon on sale!

Last year, the Tarte Make Believe in Yourself Palette went on sale at Macy’s on May 26th. We already have a new theme and a new palette for Summer 2018, the Tarte Love, Trust & Fairy Dust Eye & Cheek Palette. Which means, out with the old and in with the new.

I have two predictions for the sale of the Be a Mermaid & Make Waves Eyeshadow Palette one which is we might see it pop up tomorrow during the Sephora Weekly Wows Sale although, I could be wrong considering how sucky that sale has been lately.

My other prediction is the more logical and that is we’ll see it pop on sale during the July 4th events and sales from Macy’s, Ulta, etc…

All this stems from the fact that some of the collection is already on sale like the Minutes to Mermaid Brush Set which is $29.

So, moral of the story. Get those credit cards ready as you should be able to snag this one on sale soon!

Have you been holding on for it?

The most interesting news you might hear all day is the fact that there will be a Covergirl store opening in New York City very soon. Yes, an actual Covergirl store. The brand has plans to open their first ever store in the heart of Manhattan (Times Square).

Drugstore brands are constantly evolving and show great signs of improvement in the ten plus years I’ve been blogging. The prices have increased to compete with mid-range brands, the formulas have improved considerably, and many brands have set out to cut out the middleman by promoting their latest collections on their own websites and across their own social media outlets. Nowadays most brands will launch their latest collections exclusively at one store or they’ll promote it on their site before releasing it at mass retailers and drugstores. Both Milani and Wet n Wild have taken to promoting a lot of their latest launches on their websites. From a business perspective it makes perfect sense because there is no middleman to split costs with. Using these methods the brand is getting more of a return on their launches.

But opening a store? That’s really taking things to a new level. You know exclusives are bound to be afoot.
