One Bag & Three Beauty Obsessions: Be&D

So, as a reader favorite, I really do need to do more of these. Here’s my latest One Bag & Three Beauty Obsessions, featuring an amazing leopard bag from Be&D.

BAG:

Be&D Foundry Leopard Print Kidskin Shoulder Bag– They’ll never be enough leopard print in my life; however, there’s a fine, fine line between trendy and tacky. This bag is IT. Love it. And, it’s on SALE.

BEAUTY:

Stila Eye Shadow in “Kitten”: There’s a reason when something is a cult-favorite classic. I wear this eye shadow to work, to Target on a Sunday or to a bar on a Saturday night. It goes on smoothly, doesn’t crease and lasts all night. I couldn’t be happier with an eye shadow.
Redken Time Reset Youth Revitalizer: A woman needs a good deep conditioner in her life. I’ve tried them all but this one is different…in a good way. It’s more of a decadent mask that provides a dose of peptides and ceramide for targeted hair follicle repair. My hair has never been easier to detangle.
Clinique Superdefense Age Defense Moisturizer SPF 25: My skin is D-R-Y and with this comes a need for a serious moisturizer. This moisturizer is serious for sure and I love that it has SPF 25 to protect you from sun damage (aka skin cancer and wrinkles) on top of it’s super moisturizing properties.

Obsessed: Stila’s The Makeup Player

So pretty much everything I write about on this blog is a product that I’m obsessed with; however, every once in awhile there’s something super cool that I guess you could say I’m super(?) obsessed with? The latest is Stila’s The Makeup Player.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m soooo not a morning person and a few weeks ago I had the brilliant idea that maybe some music in the morning might help me wake up a bit while I’m getting ready. Alas, my iTunes is pretty flaky and sometimes decides that it’s not going to work, which then adds to my already bad morning mood. Great. With the invention of The Makeup Player, I actually don’t even have to involve iTunes (so take that) and all I need is my iPhone (or iPod), I plug it into The Makeup Player and boom, music. It’s also right THERE where I need it since it’s actually a makeup case and my makeup is in my “getting ready” area.

Here’s the kicker- it’s actually a STEAL of a price. I had no idea how much it retailed for when I got this little dream (FTC: I received this product from Stila’s Pro Makeup Artist, Sarah Lucero) but after checking it out on Stila’s site, I saw that it’s actually a “free” gift with purchase! There are a few options as far as what products you get, but in my opinion, the $70 “create your own kit” is the best choice. You just need to purchase $70 worth of Stila’s products and then enter the code MUPLAYER at check out. Boom, you get a free makeup case/music player. Plus, how easy is it to spend $70 on Stila’s amazing products? I’m also currently obsessing over their “Kitten” eyeshadow and “Bronze Babe” bronzing cream. Stay tuned for more reviews.

Stila Black Diamond Mascara

So I review mascaras a lot and sometimes I feel that every time I try a new mascara, I think it’s even better than the last. This certainly proves true again with Stila’s Black Diamond Mascara. I was intrigued when I read about the product and how it’s infused with genuine black diamond powder. I mean, what girl wouldn’t like that? What does the black diamond powder do? It lenghtens and adheres to lashes and results in unusually soft, plush lashes. Plus, it’s paraben-free. Amazing.

TALKING Stila Makeup?!

So I was chatting with one of my friends about how there’s always been one aspect of makeup application that I’ve never really been able to master…applying eyeshadow. I look back at some of my “night looks” in college and cringe at the bad colors and how the eyeshadow is literally ONLY applied on my eyelid.

Anyway, Stila, the genius’ that they are, have created a smokey eye palette that not only includes the four shades you need but with the press of a button, a Stila artist explains exactly how to get the look, step-by-step. A-MAZING. And I’m talking which brushes to use, tips, product suggestions, etc. and in all honesty, $40 ain’t bad for four eyeshadows and some instruction. Gotta love technology these days! OH and did I mention what I also saw on the Lucky magazine Beauty Blog?

20% off and free shipping on any order of $30 or more on stilacosmetics.com from now until December 16th! Just enter code ECYX12 when you check out. =-)
