Sephora Holiday Steals You would be Crazy Not to Grab

Have you ever seen an item in that was such a crazy good deal, that even though you might not necessarily need it, you get it anyway. The deal is just too good and walking away from it makes your stomach hurt. You know not buying this item will surely haunt you. You will drop to your knees, throw your hands up and scream (in one of those ugly screams, you know what I mean): WWWHHYYYYY!!!!!!

OMG!! Fashion Steal Alert: Pearl by Georgina of Marchesa

Hey Deal Lovers!! I got one heck of a fashion deal for you that I can't wait to share. If you love and watch Project Runway All-Stars like I do, you have seen/heard of Georgina Chapman. Georgina Chapman is one of the founders of the upscale fashion line Marchesa. A Marchesa gown could easily cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars (but hey, you would look like a million). Well what if I told you, you could get your hands on some of Georgina's uh-mazing designs, for $9.99!!!

The Top Four Sets/Kits I have My Eye On....

As of recent, I have been trying to slow down when it comes to buying high end makeup. Why would I do such a thing?? One Word: the Holidays (ok technically that's two).

Here's my official review on Tarte's new Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation

Steal Alert: Christian Siriano Heels for $7

I'm a huge fan of the show Project Runway. This show makes me wish I could sew!! Christian Siriano is one of my fav past winners. He has gone on to dress some of the world's biggest and most photograph stars. Lucky for us, he has partnered with Payless so we can get our hands on his "fierce" designs.

XOXO,
Raquel

40% Off Skinccare & Makeup Goodies at The Body Shop!!

So a few days ago, I film my haul from The Body Shop (check out my YouTube channel, willworkforproduct). They were having a Christmas in July sale, that was too good to pass up (how many people do you know that could pass up 50% off???).

Gotta Try or Pass It By: Maybelline Baby Lips Electro

             Maybelline Baby Lips Electro in Pink Shock & Strike a Rose, $3.99, 6 shades

Speaking honestly, I'm not the hugest fan of the Maybelline Baby Lips. My lips can get pretty dry, and the Baby Lips just do not deliver when it comes to moisture (well at least on my lips). Even with this in mind, the new Maybelline Baby Lips Electro made it into my Walgreens basket (the temptation of trying a new product was just too strong).

L'Oreal Foundation as low as $2.29 Online at Ulta!!

If you use and love L'Oreal True Match Foundation, boy do I have some good news for you!!! Ok, ready??

Steal Alert: LORAC's Close Up Real Life To Red Carpet Eye Tutorial

Hey beauty lovers!!! Today, I have an amazing beauty steal from LORAC (so you already know it's going to be good!!).

Meet My Favorite Guru: Philosophy's Guru Salt Scrub

                        Philosophy's The Guru Body Scrub $25, available at QVC and Ulta


Merriam-Webster defines guru as one who is an acknowledged leader or chief proponent; a person with knowledge or expertise: expert.
  I consider Philosophy to be one of the top "gurus", when it comes to Bath and Body products.

50% off Carol's Daughter Product...Online at Belk

Hey Guys another day, another great sale to share with you!!

Gotta Try or Pass It By: Nars Satin Lip Pencils

 

         Nars Satin Lip Pencils in Majella and Palais Royal, $25 available at Nars.com & Sephora

When I think of high end makeup, one of the brands that always comes to mind is Nars. Their luxe, sleek black packaging just screams "high end" (and buy me now, you know you want me!!).

Gotta Try or Pass It By: Mally Easy On the Eyes Collection

                            Mally's Easy on the Eyes 6 piece Collection $54.98, available at QVC

If you watch the Wendy Williams show, you know she talks about having "friends in her head". That's how I feel about Mally Roncal.  Though, we have never met, I feel like I know her. In my head, we grab iced non-fat with whip (cause a girl has to have a little fun) carmel macchiatos, go shopping, then grab sushi for lunch and dish about makeup,fashion and celebrities.

Where's there Smoke(y) there's Fire: New Maybelline Master Smokey Eye Pencil

                             Maybelline Master Smokey Eye Pencil in Emerald Fury, $7.99


I have to give Maybelline credit when it comes to the "newness" department. It seems like I'm always on the hunt for the latest and greatest cosmetic item from this brand. So, it was no surprise when I heard there was a new Maybelline Smokey Eye pencil. I took a deep breath, grabbed my car keys and headed to Walgreens (here we go again).

Deal Alert: Save over 50% on Your First JewelMint Purchase!!

Beauty Deal: Essence Beauty on Clearance at Ulta!!!

Question. Have you have found a deal too good to pass up, that you just had to get it cause you would be cray-cray not too?? Well, that happened to me recently. I was in Ulta and notice a beauty steal that made me act a straight fool. Yep, I said straight fool. It was soooo good I just couldn't resist, although honestly speaking I didn't necessarily these items (yes that plural, I got more than one thing). Okay, I know................ get to it already Raquel!!!!!!!!!!!

Kohl's is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shop. I have been able to find brag-worthy deals that are too good not to share. I found another one I'm excited to bring to you.

Jennifer Lopez once sang "My love don't cost a thing...". Well, now you can purchase a really cute sweater by the singer, actress, designer, dancer (dang how many titles/jobs does she have?!!) for next to nothing.

Nail of the Day: Sally Hansen's Kook A Mango

Allure Summer Beauty Box: On Sale April 23rd!!

I must admit, as tempting as those popular beauty boxes are, I have yet to try one. I like to know what I'm getting when I make a purchase and like the fact if a product doesn't work for me, then back to the store it goes. However, one box has peaked my curiosity so much, that I have decided to surrender and make it my first beauty box purchase. What could tempt me so?
