Coach and Estee Lauder Purchase with Purchase

These were selling out before they even hit the stores since pre-orders flooded the sales counter for those who saw these and had to have them! I don’t blame them since I was one of the ones who said “are you kidding, this is a steal”! The set was a purchase with purchase; when you purchased any Estee Lauder fragrance item you could purchase the Coach cosmetics bag for $35. So, what makes this like the best deal ever? The bag is currently at Coach stores for $68 and does not come with any of the cosmetic items included in the PWP. This PWP came with an eye/cheek palette, eyeliner, two lipsticks, a lip-gloss, a retractable eye brush as well as a retractable face/blush brush. Now, tell me that isn’t the best deal ever! So if you could get one, this was the way to go.  I purchased a fragrance gift set for a friend and got this for me!!

Bare Escentuals-'Samantha’s Smoky Eye' Set

This set was part of my Sephora’s Friends and Family event; I passed on it originally but did a second order when I saw it in person. It’s a fantastic set for achieving a quick yet stunning smoky eye. And I love my smoky eye these days! The set contains a black chubby eye liner/shadow pen, a Buxom Mascara, Buxom Lip Gloss in Samantha and a smudge/shadow brush.

Generally I don’t like to buy sets since there is always an item or two I won’t use and it doesn’t end up being such a great deal because of this. But this set is the exception since I love every item in the set. The eye liner is a perfect base for stay put shadow; it is budge proof once it sets and dries. But it’s just as good on its own as a liner or cream shadow. I layered a black shadow with gold shimmer over it and had a perfect smoky eye. The Buxom Mascara has a following of its own, it adds great dimension and has great thickening capabilities. My two favorite items in the bunch however are the Samantha gloss and the smudge brush. The gloss is the perfect nude shade with a tad of peachiness and just the right amount of shimmer. It adds dimension to a nude lip without being over the top glittery. I only pray they release this as a stand alone item now. It has become a favorite! And finally the super usable smudge brush. It is dense enough to use as a smudge brush but also great for adding shadow at the lash line and even in the crease. It is a really great quality brush that has more than one function.

I must say that I think this is one of the best sets they released this season. Not to mention the very reasonable price of $42, each item alone would have been $72. There is nothing better than getting great product at great prices! This set is still available at Sephora and Sephora.com so get it while you can. It would make a great gift too!

Bobbi Brown- Denim & Rose Collection Fall 2010

“Everyone looks great in jeans–and anyone can pull off a dark denim eye. To make it wearable, I’ve paired inky blue shadows with pretty roses for lips and cheeks. The combination is casual and put-together, rock& roll but romantic, and modern yet classic all at once.” — Bobbi Brown

Denim has always been associated with casual, but it can be polished and chic at the same time. Adding the right accessories and your denim look can be dynamic and modern. This collection has just what you need to do that. The shades of pretty rose for lips and cheeks give romance while the inky blues add depth and demension, and a little bit of edge!  Available July 2010

Edward Bess Luxury Eye Brush

It’s no wonder this super luxurious brush was featured in InStyle Magazine! Featured under an article about Jennifer Lopez and Scott Barnes, Scott Barnes talks of how to achieve an easy and perfect smoky eye. His tool of choice is of course, Edward Bess’s Luxury Eye Brush. I agree completely, as this is the perfect brush for achieving that perfect J-LO look, or any look for that matter! It is dense enough to lay down color yet soft enough to blend away all imperfections for the perfect eye. The bristles are super soft and shaped perfectly for contouring, blending, shading and even smudging. It is the one and only eye brush in the Edward Bess collection and I can see why. It agrees with Mr. Bess’s philosophy of minimalism, so it is designed to be the only brush you will need for eyes. Super soft bristles and a sleek black handle are easily cleansed with your favorite brush cleansers (in my case baby shampoo), for long lasting luxury. This is the only brush in the Edward Bess collection, and although I’d be happy to see more, it would not be bad were this to be the only one, since this is the only one you could need! Currently available at Bergdorf Goodman or Edwardbess.com for $40.
