As i was watching some videos on YouTube today i got inspired to sort of like a wish list of things that i would find as a good deal for a gift to someone or yourself along with certain basic products that might be cheaper to get at another place. I will post the website at the end of each thing that way it can be easier for the ones reading this to purchase. Hope you enjoy! The items will not be placed in any particular order.
1. Nars blush palette ($65)- This item is one that i am still hunting for. I have called the Sephora's around me and they are all sold out. So this palette contains four blushes; two pinks, one peach, one mauve, and a bronzer and a highlight shade. Now Nars blushes can be about $30 for a full size and last you for about a year. They have great pigmentation and will last all day. The blushes in this palette of smaller yet its a product that can last you a long time. I think this is worth the money!...www.sephora.com
2.Sigma Brushes- These i have never tried before but i am dying to make a purchase. Maybe someone might get me this for Christmas...cough cough lol. I have heard nothing but great things from this brand and this might have to be something i buy myself this holiday. The particular set i have my eye on is a synthetic essential kit that contains 8 brushes for $99. I have holy grail brushes that i use everyday like my M.A.C ones yet these are always being compared to those. I think it would be worth the purchase if so many different beauty Gurus say great things about it. sigmabeauty.com
3.Coastal Scents- Now this is a brand that has been around for about 4-6 years that sell good products for a very descent price. My first purchase with them was about 4 years ago and i loved the products. Now there's a lot of different websites that sell the same palettes for about the same price including ebay and hb cosmetics. Yet Coastal Scents is currently have a 40% off sale all makeup! This will be going on until November 24, 2011. I would order a couple of things from here especially one i have been having my eye on for about 6 months which is the smokey palette. It is currently priced at $22.95 and it comes with 36 shades. What i like about this palette is that the colors are grouped so that way any person, even the ones that are just starting with makeup, don't have a hard time picking what shades to combine or the ones that are complimentary to each other. There is also another gift set for $59.95 that has all the to go palettes that contain about 8 colors each i believe. I think this is a steal because if your trying to stock up on various colors and not spend a lot of money this can be the way to do it. coastalscents.com
4. Pure Luxe Cosmetics- This brand sells mineral makeup and is not really known by a lot of people. They are currently having a certain percentage off your purchase until thanksgiving as a "sale". The full jar containers are less tha $10 and have great pigmentation.I have ordered from them before and the shipping is fast. The jars are full and i have no complain. Then again if your not comfortable using pigments/ loose eye shadows this might not be the product for you. pureluxecosmetics.com
5. Glamour Doll Eyes- This company has been getting bigger and bigger as time has gone by. I remember when i first purchased from them and there wasn't really anything on the internet about them. Now there are plenty of YouTube videos on them and plenty of advertisement. So this brand once again carries pigments in full jars or sample sizes. I have ordered from them plenty of times. Always great service shipping is fast and pigmentation is great. They just released a circus collection which i believe comes with 8 eye shadows for $32. Thats a really good price for the product you get. glamourdolleyes.com
6. Mac cosmetics- Well this im sure i dont really have to go into much detail. MAC has great products yet their prices are a bit higher than these last couple of places i have mentioned. I think if i had to get something from here i would go for the brushes since those are never a fail. maccosmetics.com
7. Make up Geek- This is a fairly recent company but i have been following Marlena for such a long time on YouTube She has just released 8 pre sale eye shadows to her upcoming makeup line and they are $45 for the set. The pigmentation looks great on the site and if you order they will be picking a random person to get $10 free eye shadows when the collection comes out. Perfect gift especially for those just starting with makeup because all these colors are basic neutrals.
8. Ulta- This is not a brand but a store but i figured i really needed to mention this on here. Ulta has some pretty good deals just like Sephora does. They have a point system and they always have certain sales going on. I would check it out online or if theres one around your area.
9. Still Glamorous cosmetics and Raving Beauty- These again both are companies that sell mostly pigments. I know still Glamourous has collection sets for a very good price if anyone wants to check them out.
10. Sephora- now i didn't forget about sephora but figured i should mention that ALL the gift sets that they carry are a great deal. Especially if a certain brand releases a holiday set like i know Lorac, Smashbox, Tarte and others carry. This would also be a great way to get many colors added to your collection at a great price.
Just take into account everything i wrote on here are my picks or my thoughts and opinion on these items. Hope this helps some of you!
