New Eden Primer Potion by UD

I received an email today regarding the new Eden Primer Potion from Urban Decay. I love their original primer potion, and I would get this one, but I still have my old one… They seriously give you so much product for the price.

Nonetheless, if any of you guys try it out, let me know!

Milani, now at Cherry Culture

ScreenShot149

This past week I received an email from Cherry Culture informing me of a new product line they were gonna start selling. I’ve seen Milani at CVS before, but it NEVER, EVER goes on sale… The best deal I’ve seen is 25% off. I’m guessing because it is so popular? The reviews for their eyeshadows are actually really good, comparable to that of L’oreal HiP eyeshadows, which are my fave. Anyway, I’m gonna get to the point. Cherry Culture is selling Milani cosmetics for decent prices. Some of them are the same as in-store at CVS, but some are actually cheaper. And, if you live in Vegas, no sales tax! (Not sure about your specific state.) My only disappointment so far is that they don’t have Milani nail polish — which lasts a super long time. Maybe some time soon? Let’s hope!

Cherry Culture NYX haul

Cherry Culture had a sale last month on their NYX cosmetics. Everything was 50% and there was free shipping w/ no minimum. I didn’t buy too much because I already have a pretty well supplied makeup kit, but I did try some new products of theirs, such as the following:

  • concealer jar
  • eyebrow kit
  • glitter eyeliner
  • glitter powder
  • cream blush

Here are some photos of the haul…

I bought two of some of the products because a sale as good as this one won’t happen again, or at least for some time.

I looove NYX!

$2 Shipping on E.L.F.

Even though it will probably take forever to get to your house, there is $2 shipping at E.L.F. I just got the email today.

E.L.F. brushes —> Yay!

E.L.F. brushes

I made my first purchase on E.L.F. on October 15, 2008. I didn’t get my package until October 29, 2008. For those of you too lazy to count, that is 14 DAYS!!! They ship via FedEx Smartpost (which is not the same as FedEx and tracking #s must be tracked on different website) and it takes forever.

Luckily, I was super satisfied with the professional brushes I received. This was my order:

Concealer Brush         Qty: 2        $1.00
Defining Eye Brush     Qty: 2        $1.00
Eye Shadow Brush      Qty: 3        $1.00
Foundation Brush       Qty: 1        $1.00

Sub Total:          $8.00
Shipping:           $6.95
Tax:                  $0.00

Total:               $10.95

I got a discount of $4 because of a code I found on retailmenot.com. It covered most of the shipping and ended up still being cheap. So per brush, I paid about $1.37. That is really good deal, especially considering the quality of the brushes. I used them today and the bristles felt soft and thick. I’m very excited.

Here is the shipping process for my package. They are in New Jersey and I am in Nevada. Nine days doesn’t seem long, but when you add 5 days of processing, it can feel like forever.

E.L.F. FedEx Smartpost

Overall: I like that the prices of the brushes were about $1 each, but I hate how shipping took forever. But, I would definitely buy again, but this time — only way in advance!

More photos of the brushes…
