Estee Lauder Gift Me!
(click to enlarge)
Go to Macy's to receive your free gift with any Estee Lauder purchase of $27.50 or more. The whole package is worth $75 so trust me, it is a steal!
"Choose the lip and eye shades, either warm or cool. Choose the skin repair serum you want, a 7-day supply of New Perfectionist [CP+] Wrinkle Lifting Serum or Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher. Take home 2 chic bags, the luminous new fragrance every woman wears her way, Estee Lauder Sensuous, the Estee Lauder Projectionist, and Take It Away Total Makeup Remover. Just say Gift Me!"
I haven't smelled the new fragrance but I will soon. Though, I have no doubt it won't smell good. My mom loves all of Estee Lauder's fragrances so you can say that I grew up with the scents.. All of them! That's why I know I will smell it soon.
So, any of you trying to find products from Estee Lauder to buy so you can qualify to get the gift? You still have time to decide what you want as it doesn't start until Sept. 1, 2008. The Gift Time offer ends Sept. 20, 2008 though quantities are limited so you should act fast!

Yes girls, the infamous bareMinerals could be yours (if you don't already have it that is) for free! All you have to do is make a purchase at Sephora either in store or online. There is no minimum for the purchase so spend as little as you want. Although, in stores, a purchase isn't necessary.

I'm heading to my Sephora store tomorrow to get my hands on this. I have yet to try bareMinerals. So, once I get it, a review is also on its way!

Product Review: NYC Waterproof Eyeliner
CVS is less than 2 minutes away from my house and I love it! Today, a good friend of mine needed to get something from there and she asked if I wanted to tag along. Of course my answer was yes because I absolutely love the makeup and hair products aisle. I wanted to get a plum shaded eyeliner. That was my mission for today. I've worn black eyeliner for many years. It gets a bit old after a while. Well, let me tell you, my friend and I went around the cosmetics aisle about 20 times trying to find the right plum eyeliner. What I wanted was a fat plum shaded pencil. We found a few fat pencils, but they didn't have plum as a shade. When we found a fat purple pencil from Rimmel London, it was too light so I put it back. The right shade was the one in NYC but since it was sealed with plastic, I couldn't open it to see if it was too thin. The pencil itself looked like the tip would be thin. After looking at other plum shades, I ended up getting the NYC Waterproof Eyeliner, and boy am I happy I didn't reconsider. This shade is perfect and its fat, just how I like it. Well, since I started to use it, I might as well post a review on it.
Product Review: NYC Waterproof Eyeliner
What is it: A not too fat, not too thin waterproof eyeliner. (shade: smoky plum)
Pros: Waterproof, bold color, smooth application, great staying power, cheap
Cons: not retractable, but that's not too important
Overall: I would recommend this to everyone! The color is bold and I love how smooth it just glides on. It's way better than my Eyeslicks by Cover Girl which has a bit of a chalky consistency. And best of all, it's cheap and it does what it's supposed to do.
Price: $3.99 a stick

Going, going .. gone.
No, I am not talking about some auction. The title is about me. I really thought that I would stick to this blog as a daily thing. But once again, I failed. I was on a roll and then I just got lazy. Well girls, I happy to say that I'm back!
Today, I asked my mom if she would take me to our local CVS. The cosmetics side is my second home away from home. As much as I love Macy's and Nordies, I have to stay with my budget. It's pretty hard when all those other labels are just calling your name. Yes, I do in fact talk to my cosmetics .. don't you?
Well, back to CVS ; I got makeup and one new brush. The brush is by essence of Beauty. I've heard a lot of good stuff about this line and I was not disappointed when I tried it out. It's a dual brush with an all-over-the-lid brush on one side and a crease brush on the other. The price was amazing at $5.99 a piece! Though I should warn you, even though the brush does not have too much fallout, washing it in lukewarm water would not be a bad idea.
On to other things that I bought. Well, two other things. My mom was a bit fussy about spending over $20 -_-. I bought the Cover Girl trublend, in 5, because during the winter time, my skin gets as dry as a chalkboard. The liquid makeup should make it look more hydrated. I tried it on my skin and at first it was like white paint on my skin and then when i started to blend with my foundation brush, the color started to blend into my skin. Also, when I went back to my wrist to get some more (I put some color on my wrist and go back there to build up if needed) some of the color had already blended into my skin.
The last item that I purchased was another Cover Girl product. It's called CG eyeslicks in Cream Shadow. I was hoping this would be comparable to MAC's shade sticks. The fat pencil claims to be a "gel stick." I think gel is the wrong word. Chalk stick would be more appropriate for this product as that is exactly how it comes out- chalky. I might go back to CVS to return it but then again, I might not. The product is good for lining my inner rims to make my eye look bigger. But, what I really wanted it to do was act as a primer for eyeshadow. The color does not even come out when I put it on my eyes. Instead, shimmery/glittery stuff shows.Oh, and if some of you are worried that I won't stick with this site, don't worry, I will beat my laziness and come on as often as I can. This site will become my new hobby and it will stick with me for a very long time.
