CVS is having a 75% off sale on some of their makeup items that will soon be discontinued. Some of these items are manufactured by Rimmel, Revlon, Almay and N.Y.C. When you enter your local CVS store look for the cosmetics with the round, orange/red sticker which read, “Take 75% off”. The savings are great. [...]

This is something that I should have posted in July. I have excuses but who wants to hear them? Let us get into the final nail polishes I picked up from E.L.F.’s July 60% off sale. However, before we begin I must say, “I’m learning”. I am learning that I need to bend my strict rule of not buying a nail polish that is priced over $5 USD. With these hauls, reviews and wears I am learning that nail polish is about more than color. Who would have thunk it? Slowly I am starting to believe if I were to spend more than $5 on a nail polish of good quality but still below $10 (a limit still exists) then maybe it will not be as painful as I imagine. What brought me to this slow and stubborn revelation is E.L.F.’s “Bubble Gum Pink” nail polish.

Today in the mail I received my recent Sephora haul. Inside was Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow. I read online and saw on YouTube so many rave reviews about this product. The raves went on and on about how great they make your lips look and how the color will be your own personal color, your mother nature made color.

During the first week of July I purchased and received items from MAC’s “In the Groove” collection. I hauled three lippies, two glosses, one skinfinish and two eye shadows.

In my E.L.F. 60% off haul I purchased a lot of nail polishes. I must be honest, I have been dreading the reviews simply because it is really time consuming to take off nail polish, condition my nails, apply a base coat, two coats of color then a top coat, wait for my nails to dry then photograph the color and finally write about it. I give a lot of props to nail polish only blogs. Blogging about nail polish is time consuming. With that said, let’s move on to EyesLipsFace.com (E.L.F.) nail polish in “Fire Coral”.

I must admit that I generally will not spend more than $4 on a bottle of nail polish. The nail polish color must really WOW me before I lay a Lincoln on it. I am sure with all things people have their spending limits where temptation no matter how sexy, bold and brash will not hypnotize them into pulling out the “big bucks” for a splurge. For me, this limit is nail polish. With that said, let me introduce you to my experience with EyesLipsFace.com’s (E.L.F.) “Mango Madness” nail polish.

When I looked at the date of my last post, June 29, 2010 I realized that I’m really behind in posting. I’ve been shopping and have a few hauls to post. This first haul is an E.L.F. (EyesLipsFace.com) haul from their 60% off the entire website sale.

I just received an email that Eyes Lips Face (ELF) is having a sale of 50% off their Studio line of cosmetics with a minimum purchase of $20 while using coupon code, “STUDIODEAL”.

My order I placed with BFTE (Beauty from the Earth) Cosmetics arrived yesterday. This is my second purchase from this company. I recently became aware of them via my cousin A.R. Jonson.

MAC describes their May 2010 Summer collection as, “The seaside has a kind of golden, sexy alchemy we’re all drawn to. This collection encapsulates it with the most soothing, sultry shades of summertime. A safe way to bronze, beautify, and get colour that looks sun-kissed. Close your eyes, and go To The Beach!” I describe it as, “1970s packaging minus the shag rug and door beads…still fun yet should have been more fun.”
