Macy’s Backstage Outlet Stores Coming to New York

macys backstage outlet store

Love Nordstorm Rack? TJ Maxx? Yeah, don’t we all! Scoring a great deal is easier than ever now with the launch of Macy’s Outlet Stores in New York!

Macy’s takes a stab at deeply discounted designer brands with their new Macy’s Backstage discount stores that will be opening in the New York City area this Fall. The first store is opening in Elmhurt, Queens (bugger, I hate heading to Queens!) for Fall 2015 and is about the size of a T.J. Maxx location and will be offering brands such as Calvin Klein, Fila, Reebok, Sunglass Hut and other designer swag.

The outlet store will also feature budget friendly brands like E.l.F. Cosmetics in their beauty section!

Four of the six planned outlet stores will be open by Sept 2 and the others will appear later this Fall.

I’m a huge fan of the Rack and I love heading over there to score deals on shoes, accessories, and beauty (I sadly do NOT have patience to look through the clothing racks though because they are so damn messy) so I’m looking forward to seeing what Macy’s Backstage Outlet Stores have to offer and if they will be any better than Nordstrom Rack.

Are you excited about the idea of a Macy’s Backstage Outlet Stores?

Harry Potter Lipsticks from LA Splash

LA Splash Harry Potter Smitten LipTint Mousse

Muggles, rejoice! Harry Potter Lipsticks from LA Splash have arrived. Well, not really Harry Potter Lipsticks but ones named after the beloved characters in the J.K. Rowling Harry Potter Books!

LA Splash Smitten LipTint Mousse ($14) is a new waterproof non transfer liquid lipstick with a matte finish. These new vibrant lipsticks are available in 17 shades selections with several of the shades being named after characters from Harry Potty.

Of course, the idea of Harry Potter Lipsticks has broken the Internet with fights breaking out all over the fandom world because some shades don’t really match up well to their characters. For example, Sirius’ shade is a navy blue where as the fandom believes it should be black.

Technically if anyone should have a black gothy lipstick it should be Snape but as much as I love Harry Potter it’s a fandom I won’t fight with, I wouldn’t win and I’d come home bruised, bloodied, or possibly dead if I tried.

Maybe one day MAC will actually get on the geeky makeup bandwagon and gift us with some amazing Harry Potter or Doctor Who Collection.

Until then we can just fight over which shades of Harry Potter Lipstick should correspond to its character.

LA Splash Smitten LipTint Mousse is available now at lasplashcosmetics.com.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Volumizer 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.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Volumizer

File the new Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Volumizer ($28) under awesome. Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Volumizer was introduced for Fall 2015 and is a subtly tinted lipgloss with a blend of a blend of hyaluronic spheres to help moisturize, smooth and plump your lips.

I’m really bad about touching up my lipstick and gloss as the day progresses so I keep a selection of lip balms and clear gloss in my desk drawer for easy 1, 2, 3 application without interupting my work flow. Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Liquid Lip Volumizer happens to be one of those products I can slip on easily for a hint of color, a ton of shine, and light moisture while giving my lips a plump look!

Loves!
