Sephora's Ultimate Blockbuster Palette for $48 ($320 value)



I am part of Sephora's email list because I am a beauty junkie! I just have to know what new products they are offering, so when I saw this subject heading: 30,000 looks for $48 (a $320 value)!, I just had to open the email.

I adore palettes and this one is no exception! Look at how many colors they have! This is called the Ultimate Blockbuster - Collector's Edition, and by golly, if I didn't have so many products already I would order this!

This contains: 71 eyeshadow shades (0.04 oz each), 13 cream eyeshadow shades (0.03 oz each), 5 blushes (0.19 oz each), 1 compact powder (0.19 oz), 60 lip glosses (0.03 oz each), one lip liner, one eyeliner, 4 brushes, 3 sponge-tipped applicators, and a smart black case.

Sephora also sells other beauty palettes, but they are so little compared to this one. Check it out: Other palettes

Shecky's Girls Night Out Recap 1


I had the pleasure of attending New York City's Shecky's Girls Night Out last Friday evening. The full week long event in NYC took place the Puck Building in Soho and what a gorgeous historic building it is! After a quick 15 minute wait in line, I picked up my wristband and Goody Bag ticket (later to be redeemed on the 7th floor) and was amazed (!!!) at the how many vendors there were!! They were selling their hand-made jewelry, bags/clutches, clothing.. This was heaven! There were 3 large rooms on the first floor and one larger area on the 7th floor. If there were any more rooms, I would have been 1) broke and 2) sad that I didn't see it.

There was a goody bag filled with wonderful products from their sponsors.. pictures to be posted soon!

Highlights from the evening:
1) Chatted with one of the reps from Nintendo DS (they gave out a cute cotton tote bag) and he told me about his job(s). He's an actor and is an extra for Lipstick Jungle. They're filming Monday (Oct 20) in Union Square's farmers market, probably early morning if you're interested.

2) Got my nails done, courtesy of Chambord (yummy drinks), ugly nails =( but I got a free nail polish called J'adore Chambord.

3) Beer and food tasting! Tried 4 different kinds of beers, each paired with Bree cheese, canteloupe, raspberry cheese, and dark chocolate. Pics to be posted soon!

4) Goody bag!!! Filled with generous sized samples, including Borba water, toothpaste, chocolate, Aquafresh whitening, Dove energizing lotion/deodorant, and sooo much more! It came in a cute reusable tote bag too.

=)




And here is the rest of it.

Bare Escentuals CEO sighting in NYC!

I was fortunate to see Leslie Blodgett, CEO of Bare Escentuals (one of my favorite make-up brands) in Sephora's New York City Times Square location. (check out my other post about the event.) She was there from 2-4pm on Saturday, October 11, and after walking roughly ten blocks from the MOMA, we made it just in time! 3:45pm- We arrived! She took pictures with the rest of the Sephora beauty team:



I waited patiently for 5 minutes as two other eager beauty-fiends got her autograph and picture taken. After talking to her briefly and praising her products, she and her team left to continue the rest of her journey back home.

Her bus parked outside the store:

Clinique Bonus Gift- Now through Oct. 25

It's that time of year again... for Clinique's bonus gift! Spend $21.50 or more at a participating Macy's and get this wonderful gift!

Clinique offers this gift twice a year, and I have gotten them at least once a year. I'm still using the mini-eyeshadow and blush palette so I think I will wait until next Spring to get another one. However, if you were going to buy something from them anyway, this is a great time to snatch your beauty goodies!



The bonus includes:
1) Clarifying Lotion 2
2) Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion
3) Different Lipstick in A Different Grape
4) High Impact Mascara in Black
5) Clinique Colour Palette
6) Cosmetics Bag (the one in silver)
7) Choice of companion bag-oblong, round or square (Note: They are small!! The round bag is much bigger than the square one)

You may purchase your items at a Macy's near you (locate one now!) or if there isn't one nearby, you can go to macys.com and get free shipping with a $50 Clinique purchase using the promo code: ....to find out what it is..

Chanel Skincare Event in NYC- October 11


Chanel Skincare Event in NYC this Saturday, October 11, 2008 at the Macy's Herald Square from 3-6pm. This weekend is just a beauty-ful weekend! Why? You'll have to wait for upcoming posts for more BEAUTY events on Saturday! :)

Allure Virtual Store Grand Opening today!

October 1 is the start of a new month, start of the 30 Days of Beauty, and the grand opening of Allure's Virtual Store!



Allure partnered with Sephora, to create this Virtual Store where you can purchase limited-edition items, watch videos, and see their recommended products. This site is animated and makes me feel like I am in the middle of a huge corporate building lobby with the items on shelves. With the press of a button, the aisle of products comes to me- no walking required!

It's not quite 12pm noon right now, so I don't see the items for sale (in the above ad), so I will have to wait patiently and see if the hype is worth it..

Stay tuned!

***UPDATED*****
To see the limited edition products, they are under the "Offers" tab: Limited Edition products. I have to say, I'm quite disappointed because they don't seem that special. I wish there was more variety in its products as well. The best bargain seems to be the Maybelline starter kit for $14.95 + shopping & handling.



On a good note, the Allure Virtual Store is offering a Sampling Bar, where you can enter to win a sample of a product, such as Aveeno products, Christina Aguilera's Inspire perfume, etc..
