The Holiday Makeup and Beauty Vaults are Coming!

Peter Thomas Roth Mask-A-Holic Vault

Word on the street is the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Vault (the eyeliner vault was on Macy’s site earlier this week but sold out) and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Vault will be back for Holiday 2015!

There have been a good deal of massive holiday sets or vaults as brands call them over the last two years or so like the Tarte Cheek Stain Collector’s Vault and the Tarte Fleur De Lips Lipsurgence Collector’s Set and of course, many other million dollar beauty & makeup picks. These sets sometimes work out to be an excellent deal but for avid collector’s sometimes they aren’t that great as you likely already have everything in the set already!

Makeup and Beauty Vaults haven’t quite hit the airwaves yet but this is just about the time they start launching and one that’s appearing right now is the new Peter Thomas Roth Mask-A-Holic Vault. I’ve never used these masks before but they have quite a cult following this set includes five full size Peter Thomas Roth masks in:

  • 5 oz Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask
  • 5 oz Cucumber Gel Mask
  • 5 oz Pumpkin Enzyme Mask
  • 5 oz Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask
  • 5 oz 24K Gold Mask Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Mask

Purchased separately the masks would set you back $260 dollars and this set is $190 so you save a nice bit of cash and it is almost like a savings and getting a free mask.

Peter Thomas Roth Mask-A-Holic Vault is available now at Sephora.com.

I’m looking forward to the other Holiday Makeup and Beauty Vaults to come.

Any you’re really wanting?

Any brand you wish would do a vault?

Limited Edition Hourglass Cosmetics Tinted No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil

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

Hourglass Cosmetics Tinted No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil

Slay me, I die. Hourglass Cosmetics Tinted No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil has just launched. I happen to be a huge fan of Hourglass Cosmetics No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil so when I heard they were releasing a tinted version I was excited to say the least. Read my review of the original by clicking here I’m sure I can convince you that you’ll need to try it.

The new, limited edition Hourglass Cosmetics Tinted No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil in Hourglass’ Icon shade which is a classic shade of red.

This formula is probably one of most luxe lip oils I own. It contains essential oils, vitamins, and three active ingredients to keep lips moist, hydrated, soft, and smooth. The fact it now comes in a tinted version really made my day as I love the clear but one with a tint? I’m all hands on board.

You can get the limited edition Hourglass Cosmetics Tinted No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil now at Nordstrom.com.

Review coming shortly! I had to buy this one for myself! Greedy girl here.

Sephora VIB Rouge Jem & The Holograms Movie Premiere Invite

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

Sephora VIB Rouge Jem & The Holograms Movie Premiere Invite

So here’s an interesting perk from Sephora for VIB Rouge Members. Apparently 750 of your beauty points can be redeemed to see the Jem & The Holograms film before it premieres in theaters. For 750 points you and a friend can see a private screening of the Jem & the Holograms Movie on October 21st with beauty touch ups featuring the limited edition Jem and the Holograms Makeup Collection as well as movie snacks.

There’s mention of a Sephora Gift Card but I’m unsure what that exactly entails.

The invite I received was for a NY screening but if you live elsewhere perhaps there are invites for other locations as well! If you are in New York and do have 750 points you want to spend on this you can call 1 877 VIB Only to RSVP.

Personally, the Jem movie is a bust for me but I thought this was an interesting perk from Sephora to offer VIB Rouge members! Not sure if it is worth the 750 point value but it is a heck of a lot better than some of the 500 point perks they offer. Too bad they didn’t do this for Crimson Peak as I’d totally be into using my points and going to that event.

What do you think?

Would you be interested in spending your beauty bank on events like this?

Why I’m Talking About Well-Kept Screen Cleansing Towelettes On My Beauty Blog

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

well kept screen cleansing towelettes

I sometimes car pool to work with my sister. Typically I’m like an old bag lady so I have a tote and a purse and another tote and a makeup bag and a plastic bag…yeah, I carry around a lot of rubbish.

Anyway, when I car pool with my sister I typically toss everything in the back seat and that includes my purse. I’m not one of those people that constantly has to have my iPhone in my hand. It’s not a third appendage for me and I’m ok if I don’t have it attached to my hand 24/7 365. If it happens to be out of my hand for a few hours I don’t break out into a cold sweat and hyperventilate. I actually feel more relaxed when I don’t have it in my hand because I don’t feel inclined to reply to the dozens and dozens of work e-mails or crazy amount of texts my friends send me, etc…I can just breath easier.

Moral of the story is when I toss my purse in the back seat it’s likely my phone is in my bag and I won’t remove it until the end of my work day if I’m in my office and not out and about. If I do have to make a call my sister’s phone is typically handy as she keeps it in a compartment by her hand while she’s driving.

But she HATES when I’m using her phone and I can’t blame her. Why? Because she’s a minimal makeup girl. She doesn’t use foundation and she’s more a natural, minimalist with a little blush, mascara, and go. Where as I’m the complete face girl. So whenever I use her phone my makeup smears off on it and I get the screen all smeared and disgusting. Come on, admit it, you know your phones are looking all kinds of gross too!
