A decade of purty-ness

Tarte is turning ten!!! (Helllooo alliteration!) Anywho, the eco-friendly cosmetics company has hit the 10 year milestone and they are giving the gifts to us! First, use code "BDAY" from now through Sept 6 to get $10 off a $20 or more purchase. Check out their new fall line of makeup for some other wonderful treats. I am supremely interested in the new EmphasEYES aqua gel liner. It's a long lasting eye pencil, but it's 50% water based. Rather than dry out/stress out the thin eyelid skin, it replenishes it. And the colors? Mmmmmm! Love it!! I am also intrigued by the new natural matte lip stains. I see myself wearing those with a layer of balm or gloss on top for some long lasting, moisturizing color.

Get thee to http://www.tartecosmetics.com/. And use that code this weekend to get your fall makeup jump started!

Get ready for the week

I know I don't normally post on Sunday nights, but I had some fun stuff to share with you for the week ahead!

1. Free shipping this week at http://www.ulta.com/. Spend $25 or more and use code "59604." Don't forget to order your 3 free samples!

2. Join Hautelook (http://www.hautelook.com/) if you haven't joined yet because they are having a Stila Cosmetics Event tomorrow starting at 11:00 AM EST. 50% off or more on Stila?? Yes, please!!

3. Maybelline has come up with a gel eye liner with some serious staying power. It's called "Eye Studio Lasting Drama" and they claim that it can stay on up to 24 hours. If you've never tried a gel liner, don't be scared! I love this stuff. It much easier to work with than a liquid liner but once it dries, it is ON! It comes in 4 colors and honestly, you couldn't go wrong with any of them. They would all look amazing with the chic, lady like fall looks.

An oldie but a goodie

Yesterday I was digging through my eyeliners trying to decide which one I was going to use. How happy was I that I stumbled upon my Ulta Waterproof Automatic Eyeliner??? Um, VERY! Here's the deal- I am ROUGH on eye makeup. Even the best eyeliners tend to fade on me by the end of the day. But this stuff was fantastic. I used this never-needs-a-sharpener pencil on my upper and lower lids and it stayed all day! Even under my eyes which is usually gone in about an hour.

Want to know the best part? When I washed my face, it came right off! No extra eye makeup remover required. So, get thee to http://www.ulta.com/ and go the Ulta Brand section to their eye makeup. All the color options are great and so wearable.

A little something I am currently loving

Now, I don't know if any of you have ever used M.A.C. makeup. I looooove it! It is amazing and comes in some great colors. I have an eye liner pencil that is just about perfect. It's in their Eye Kohl line and it's called "Teddy": http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT151&PRODUCT_ID=323

It's this fantastic medium brown with very subtle gold undertones in it. Somehow, it manages to look good on everyone. It makes blue eyes pop. It brings out the gold flecks in green eyes. And it makes brown eyes so nice and warm. It is the perfect neutral eyeliner on those days when you can't make up your mind which pencil to use. It also smudges to perfection!

Just a suggestion for your fall makeup bag...
