My Perfect Red Lipstick!

I'm not ashamed to admit that I totally watched MTV's My Life As Liz. Scripted or not, it was pretty entertaining! That embarrassing admission's relevance to this post is that I loved how Liz was a "nerd" but still rocked deep red lipstick to school every day.

Now, what's a girl to do when she likes something she saw on another girl?? Venture to Target in search of her own of course! Well, I swatched & swatched til I couldn't see the back of my hand through all the different shades of crimson and found my "perfect red lipstick" a la Liz Lee! 

The best part? It's only 5 bucks!

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Red Revival

Methinks I spot a photobomber in my back seat!

I can't wait to ironically pair this new lip hue with my Star Wars shirt! LOL j/k... not really.

It's Finally Here!

After months of anticipation, the Urban Decay Alice In Wonderland Palette is finally available for purchase! The packaging is absolutely gorgeous and the colors are just beautiful! It retails for $52 and is now sold at Ulta, Sephora and UrbanDecay.com.

I love that it's full of shades for smokey looks (my fave) but that it has some bold colors thrown in there too. I'm also looking forward to trying out the vivid Flipside eyeliner. My favorite part though is the 3D popup lid! This is sure to be a collectors item and sell out fast!

Are you planning on picking one up?

More FREE Sephora Goodies!

Just 2 days after blogging about Sephora's Beauty Insider Loophole, I got another $15 gift card, this time in my email! (Did everyone get an e-gift certificate and a hard copy? Let me know if you did too.)

This time I chose to get 1 item and pay [next to] nothing. The free shipping code I used last time has apparently since expired so I used "WISHME" instead and got to choose from 3 deluxe samples. None of the 100 Point Perks caught my eye, so I skipped that this go around.

What I Got:

Clinique Take The Day Off To Go $8.50

YSL Mascara Sample in Black

My 3 Free Samples:

YSL "Parisienne" Perfume

Fekkai Technician Shampoo & Conditioner

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment

My Grand Total: $0.05!!!

FOTD: Effy Stonem

Today my makeup was inspired by this photo of everyone's favorite British bad girl Effy Stonem (from my fave tv show, Skins):

I didn't do the blue liner underneath and mine came out much smokier, but you get the gist.

What I Used:

*Christian Siriano for VS Makeup e/s in Sahara

*Barbie Loves Stila black e/s from 1959 palette

*Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero

*DiorShow Mascara in Black (courtesy of my lovely friend Ashley)

*Jane Mineral Blush in Rose Silk

*Revlon Mineral Lipglaze in Neverending Nude

Sephora Beauty Insider Loophole!

If you're a Beauty Insider at Sephora you've surely received your complimentary $15 gift card in the mail or via email by now. Thinking I had to spend $50 to use it (as the fine print states), I tossed mine aside figuring I should be selfless and finish my Christmas shopping before spending any money on myself.

Then I stumbled upon this post from Nouveau Cheap. Apparently, if you use your gift card online there is no minimum purchase (a.k.a. loophole jackpot!) This means, as long as you spend at least $15 total (including shipping & tax), you could pay $0!!!

Rather than getting one thing, factoring in tax and S&H, and paying nothing I opted to get 2 things, use a free shipping promo code I found online ("S4FM516"), and pay a little bit .

Here's what I got:

NARS "Silent Night" Single Eye Shadow $9

OPI for Sephora Nail Colour in "Metro Chic" $9

My 3 Free Samples:

Michael Kors "Very Hollywood" perfume

Gucci "Flora" perfume

YSL "Parisienne" perfume

My 100 Point Perk:

Renee Furterer Volumizing Shampoo

My Grand Total: $4.26
