The Ultimate Makeup Lover's Gift

Wanna get a make up gift that completely wows? Urban Decay has got your solution with The Mother Lode. This collection has all 68 of their awesome eye shadows plus a Build Your Own 4 pan so you can have a custom palette on the go . I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay eye shadows and I think this set is amazing, if only they'd bring back the 24/7 eyeliner vault. The set seems pricey at $595, but the value is $1224 for the eye shadows plus the $10 BYO. That's a crazy deal and you won't need eyeshadow for forever. This is a gorgeous set and anyone would be lucky to unwrap it this holiday!

Get It While You Can! Benefit Countdown to Love

I had been debating on waiting to get this amazing advent calendar by Benefit, maybe I could get a few more gift cards or it would go on sale. Not the case. I decided I had to have it and I'm so glad I ordered it when I did. The day after I placed my order it sold out on Sephora.com (it's also web exclusive so I wouldn't have been able to find it in store.)
I had heard Ulta.com and Macys.com still had it, but as of this morning, they are also sold out.

Seems that the Benefit website is the only place to find it right now, so hurry! I'm sure they're going to sell out too!
(Currently someone is selling theirs for $189.99 on Amazon! and I found some pricier ones on eBay!)
I can't wait to get mine and I'll be posting pictures daily!

Here's some sneak peaks from the Benefit website.

OCC All Star Lip Minis

So EXCITED about these! I have been stalking every Sephora store in the area trying to find this set. A big thank you to Melinda at Sephora in N. Dartmouth for helping me find these! I only recently got turned onto the OCC Lip Tars and this is a nice mini set to try out a few and the colors are great picks. You can use them as they are or blend them into custom shades.

 

From left to right: Memento, NSFW, Anime, and Black Dahlia.

Sorry these swatches are so messy, Top to bottom: Memento, NSFW, Anime, Black Dahlia. 

I am super impressed with these for both color and texture. You also only need the absolute tiniest amount. Picture how much you need and it's probably 1/5 of that. I can't wait to play with these more!

Have you tried the OCC Lip Tars? What's your favorite or which would you love to try?
