Benefit F&F Sale

Another one of my favorite makeup brands is having their Friends & Family Sale! 

Save 20% on Benefit Cosmetics with code LOVEYALL

at BenefitCosmetics.com

Unfortunately it does not include the holiday products. But you can get Free standard shipping automatically on orders over $50 in the US (orders over $125 internationally). 

I figured I'd write another recommendation post similar to my Urban Decay post last week in case you're looking for something to get for yourself or a gift for someone else. :)

They're Real Mascara

Regular Price: $22.00

Sale Price: $17.60 

If you love a great lengthening mascara, They're Real is the mascara you've been looking for. I usually stick to drugstore mascaras but this mascara is one high-end mascara I will likely be repurchasing. Full Review here. Want to know what the differences between They're Real & Bad Gal Lash? Click here for my comparison post.

Sugarbomb Blush

Regular Price: $28

Sale Price: $22.40

Never thought that these four colors blended together would create such a pretty blush. This blush is great for everyday. The pinky-peach color gives your cheeks a soft, natural flush of color. Full review here.

Bella Bamba Blush

Regular Price: $28.00

Sale Price: $22.40

Described as a 3D brightening powder to brighten, sculpt & define. Bella Bamba is a pretty pink color with great pigmentation. It can be built up in intensity or blended out for a softer, pretty pink glow. (Tip: A little goes a long way!) Full review/swatches here. 

Hello Flawless!

Regular price: $34.00

Sale Price: $27.20

This product is great if you don't like liquid foundation but still want coverage. This powder foundation is silky too! You can use this product in a few ways. For a sheer finish, I apply the powder with a brush. If you want a lot of coverage, I use the sponge that is included. I recommend using your own face/powder brush as the little brush that is included is scratchy and sheds like crazy. However, I did purchase this product awhile ago so maybe the brush has improved since then?

Urban Decay F&F Sale

Just wanted to write a quick post in case you don't already know...

Urban Decay is having their Friends & Family Sale!

Save 20% off using code FFHolidaySale

(Included in the sale are items in the sale section!)

Urban Decay is my all-time favorite brand.

If you're new to the brand or are looking for recommendations,

here are some of my favorites:

Naked Palette 

Regular price: $48.00

20% off sale price: $38.40

Urban Decay is known for their bold, bright colors. However, if you're not into rocking brights, Urban Decay created a palette of neutrals that will please those looking for a more natural, toned-down look. This kit includes 12 eyeshadows, shadow brush, and a mini potion primer.

15-Year Anniversary Eyeshadow Collection:

Regular Price: $55.00

20% off sale price: $44.00

If you like neutral looks but also love the occasional bright look, this is the palette for you! This palette contains 15 brand new shades and is a nice mixture of neutrals, brights, and shadows to create a smokey eye. See my full review/swatches here.

Eyeshadow Primer Potion:

Regular price: $19

20% off sale price: $15.20

One of Urban Decay's cult favorite products. I discovered UDPP four years ago and have since gone through countless bottles (now tubes!). UDPP makes your eyeshadow last longer, makes it brighter, and prevents creasing. Comes in four shades. I love the Original and Greed (matte) version.

 Also available in XXL professional size (150% more than the original bottles) for $24 (regularly $30) or if you don't mind the vintage bottles they have them on sale for $8 (regular sale price $10).

24/7 Glide-On Pencils:

Regular Price $18 (some $9)

20% sale price: $14.40 (some $7.20)

I'm in love with these eyeliners. My favorite and most used is the carbon black shade, Zero. I even have quite a few backups. Like the name implies, these pencils glide-on easily (no tugging or dragging!) which makes it the perfect eyeliner for beginners or those without a steady hand. They come in so many different shades and value kits, check out all the eyeliners out here.

Dates: 12am PST 11/01/11- 11:59pm 11/05/11

I'm still debating getting anything as I just placed a makeup order during Sephora F&F sale.

Ulta 21 Days of Beauty

Just wanted to write a quick post to share with fellow makeup addicts about Ulta's 21 days of Beauty. Ulta will be having 21 days of deals & steals on makeup and beauty products starting today, 9/4. Here are just some I'm super excited about and will likely be taking advantage of.


Day 6: September 9th


Too Faced Shadow Insurance for $9 (regularly $18). I love Urban Decay Primer Potion and tried Benefit's Stay Don't Stray Primer, but have yet to try Too Faced primer. At half off, now seems like the perfect opportunity!









Day 17: September 20th


Butter London polishes are buy one, get one free! I own one Butter London polish in HRH and their topcoat. I really like that it is a 3 free brand (DPB, Toulene, and formaldehyde free). However, I'm not too fond of their $14 polish price tag. I've been eyeing a few colors, so I'm totally taking advantage of this deal.


It's limited 2 per customer. I'm not sure if that means 2 "deals" which would equal 4 polishes or just one deal, two polishes. If it's the latter, I might have to drag my boyfriend along to pick up another two polishes. I know he won't mind, plus he owes me for all the ESPN I'm "forced" to watch with him. :p








Day 21: September 24th


Benefit Real of Concealness is $18 (regularly $32). This kit has 5 mini Benefit products including, Lemon Aid to correct eyelid discoloration, Boi-ong to conceal dark under-eye circles, Ooh La Lift to brighten eye area, Lip Plump, and High Beam highlighter. I love mini kits like these because you can try out a bunch of products without breaking bank.
