Hi guys! I'm so excited because I just logged into Costco.com and looked in the beauty section and they have so much good stuff I can't wait to get my hands on it all!
So the first new thing I saw was the Kevyn Aucoin The Legacy Palette
At Barneys.com it costs $165 dollars (ouch)
At Costco however, $99 dollars!
That's a savings of 40 percent, although it is still expensive, if it was on your buy list, definitely buy it from Costco
The next new thing I saw was the Dolce and Gabbana Cream lipsticks in the shades
Coral
Fire
Black Magic
Mandorla
Bonbon
Tease
Shocking
Lady
Traviata
The price at Nordstrom is 34.50
At Costco 24.99 in the shades
The next one is the YSL Rouge Pur Coture lipsticks, I've heard incredible things about these and they are an iconic beauty staple
They come in the shades:
#01 Le Rouge
#04 Rouge Vermillon
#05 Beige Etrusque
#14 Rouge Feu
#17 Rose Dahlia
#50 Rouge Neon
#51 Corail Urbain
#54 Prune Avenue
#55 Orange Indie
#56 Rouge Anonyme
#57 Pink Rhapsody
At Nordstrom they are $37 dollars
At Costco, 26.99, around 10 dollars off!
These are just some of my favorite deals going on right now at Costco, let me know if there are any deals that you think should have made this list!

Hi Hi Hi! Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry for not posting after I made a big stink over how I was going to start posting regularly again. I am back and better than ever.
Today I have a quickie review on Benefit's creaseless cream shadow (Or so it says...)
Ok so on black friday (that feels like ages ago, wow does time fly), I went to Ulta and totally stocked up on all of their doorbusters (which some are still available and cheaper!) and one of their deals was all of Benefit's eyeshadows and lipsticks were 50% off! Also, I believe they had a cream blush, but I swatched it and didn't like the shade. Anyway, I was psyched because I had seen some of my favorite beauty bloggers rave about the creaseless cream shadows and they looked so pretty online. I decided that I would just pick up the one shade that I knew I would wear the most, because I have way too much makeup(who am I kidding, you can never have enough), and the shade I picked up was called RSVP.
So it comes in this really cute but totally impractical packaging made out of printed cardboard. The actual product is inside the "tube" with a compact-like packaging
 |
| ($20 at Ulta, shade: RSVP) |
Inside there's a really cute looking eyeshadow encased in a thick plastic covering and a white exterior (it looks like a muffin tin right? or a pie crust?) The shade itself is shown online as very peachy but in real life it's a light champagne color with a light tinge of pink.
So I'll just be blunt here, it creased. I was beyond disappointed when it creased not even two minutes later. The color payoff was beautiful and the little shimmer it did have showed up. The color was gorgeous but I tried to apply the shadow with a flat brush that I always use for packing on shadow but it applied better with my finger or even a sponge tip applicator.
Overall, I thought it was OK, I think that the NYX shadow sticks do a much better job and have the some of the same shades and texture. I do think for a product that said it wouldn't crease, the fact that it did was really disappointing and may have affected my view of the product. But, if it's ten dollars, it's not bad, just maybe not for me.
Have any of you tried it and if so what's your opinion on it? Leave your answer in the comments below!

Hey everyone, I'm back with a new kind of post.
So, a while back I received this shadow stick in an Influenster VoxBox and I was super super excited. I happen to love the Clinique shadow sticks and I heard that these were a dupe and well who doesn't like saving money.

It looked like this beautiful warm bronze color in the tube. When I swatched it, it was far from warm. It ended up being a cool grey taupe hybrid color. I'm sure plenty of people would love this color but I don't tend to like any shadows that are cool toned. This shadow stick has a very creamy, smooth and pigmented application but again the downside for me was the color. However, when I played around with it, I realized an amazing way to use the stick, as a contouring pencil! It provides a beautiful natural looking contour due to the greyish hue to the stick, perfect for beginners. That's all I've got for today so until next time byeee!

Hey everyone! I'm baaaaack with an unboxing! I don't know about you but I love seeing unboxings, like I'm addicted. I recently got this "Voxbox" complimentary from Influenster and I thought I'd show you whats inside!
So the picture above is what the box looks like when you first open it, on the top there is coupons and a product list.
The first I pulled out is this Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs, leg makeup. So basically it replaces body makeup and is a substitute to permanent bronzer I think. I would compare the idea to MAC face and body foundation.(Retail Value: 2.99 USD)
The next product I pulled out is a Beanitos Black Bean chip bag and we got another one in Chipotle BBQ. (Retail Value: 3.99 USD)
Next came a duo of Bear Naked Granola, it looks super yummy, in Sea Salt Caramel Apple (guess which one was eaten immediately after the photo) and Coconut Almond Crunch (Retail Value: 5.19 USD)
Next came this Australian Gold Sunscreen with SPF 30. It smells like sunscreen, nothing shocking.(Retail Value: 8.07 USD)
Next, the thing that got me the most excited, a NYC 24 hour Eye Shadow Stick in this taupey color. I think its' best use would be a eyeshadow base. (Retail Value: 2.99 USD)
Next we have a Hair Food Root Cleansing Shampoo that smells immensely like strawberries, I really can't stand food scented soaps, shampoos, etc. So I will be passing this along to one of my friends. (Retail Value: 9.99 USD)
I forgot to take a photo of the Nasoya Zero Calorie Noodles which I also passed along because I don't tend to eat noodles ever. (Retail Value: Couldn't find it, sorry )
