First Look Swatches - Profusion Twinkle Twinkle 5 Color Eyeshadow Palette in Purples

Hello everyone,

Today while at my local Walgreens I found the new $1.00 Profusion palettes that are being released for Christmas.  I purchased three different ones, one with shimmery browns, one with greens, and one with purples.  The first one to be swatched was the purple palette.  This is just a first look quick swatch.  A more in depth set of swatches will follow in the next few days.

I found the eyeshadows to be slightly powdery but nicely pigmented.  I used two swipes (dip in pan, rub on skin, dip in pan, rub on skin ... all swatches with no primer) to get these swatches.  From just the quick swatch, I found that the lightest purple color appears to be a grey to purple duochrome.  I will play with this a little more in the coming days to see if I still agree with that assessment.

Until next time.  Have a Happy and Safe Halloween!

Texas Girls - HEB Deals

I'm bringing back an oldie but a goodie today.  Texas Girls - HEB Deals!!!  HEB is a grocery chain in Texas that has better deals then the drug store.  When I can, I try to purchase my beauty products from HEB since it will save me a few bucks.  HEB releases their new ads and coupons on Wednesdays, so I try to get as many of the beauty deals as I can and round them up here for you.

As a heads up, HEB no longer allows coupon stacking on 'B' coupons.  So what you see is what you get unfortunately.  With that information, always check if your deals are better at HEB then the coupon stacking that is allowed at CVS or Walgreens.

Milani Limited Edition Shadow Eyez - Purples, Silvers, While, and Black

Hello everyone!  I wanted to share with you a new Limited Edition Shadow Eyez set by Milani.  I shared these photos with G. over at Nouveau Cheap and you can see her blog post here.  There are six new colors, one of which is a dupe for NYX Milk.  I purchased three colors today.  A white called Snowy White, a metallic purple called Plum Amour, and a metallic silver called Lovely Frost.  They are all super creamy and long lasting.  I had to scrub to get the swatches off my hand.  I'll leave a link to my instagram below and you can check out Nouveau Cheap's post for more details.


Hope ya'll have a fabulous week!!!

Get it While You Can : Disney Collection - Ariel Compact at Sephora

Oh, Sephora, how you make people just a little bit crazy.

The day these items went out, people ran out and bought three or four of them to resell at crazy prices.  $20.00 mirrors going for $30, $40, or $50, sometimes even more.  The storylook palettes go for crazy amounts as well.  Sadly, the storylook palettes are already out, but what does appear to still be up are the Ariel "Set the Mood" Compact mirrors.  The compacts are of good quality and can hold up to being thrown into and jostled around in your purse.

The compacts will only be available for a limited time.  So get them while you can here.
