Beauty Products: Barbie Smudge Pots

stilabarbieI am dying to try this new product by Stila cosmetics.

Stila’s smudge pots are fantastic! They can be used as either shadow or liner and they stay on all day. I used to use a dark smudge pot as eyeliner when I had to dance on stage. The color stayed all day and I never felt the need to reapply.

The Barbie Loves Stila smudge pots come in three different colors: Cobalt Clutch, Purple Pumps and Little Black Dress. I think all of these colors look fabulous and they all have a hint of shimmer in them.

You can order these Barbie Loves Stila Smudge Pots at StilaCosmetics.com for $20.

Also, if you order before September 5th, you can get free shipping with any Barbie Loves Stila purchase by using the code: BARBIE.

Top Five: Beauty Finds

makeup

Whether looking to try a new mascara or looking for a great way to take all of your make-up off, I decided to blog about my current beauty must-haves and obsessions.

1. L’oreal Double Extend Mascara Beauty Tubes Technology - I have tried a lot of mascaras but this is by far my favorite. Never have my eyelashes looked longer and fuller than when I have used this. L’oreal claims that with the beauty tubes technology, your lashes will look up to 80% longer and they are absolutely right. Plus, the tubes make it super easy to take it off at the end of the day. $9

2. Too Faced Shadow Insurance – Anti Crease Eyeshadow Primer – this item is a definite must! If you want your eye shadow looking just as good at the end of the night that it did when you first applied it, then you need Too Faced Shadow Insurance. Just squirt a little bit on the tip of your pointer finger and apply to your eyelid before you put on your makeup and you are good to go. $17

3. Nars Duo Eyeshadow- ever since my mother first introduced me to Nars, I’ve been hooked. My favorite thing from Nars would have to be the Duo Eyeshadows. I am not a make-up artist but their duo eyeshadow makes it easy to fake it. All I do is swipe the darker of the colors across my eyelid while using the lighter color to highlight the brow. I use “Stage Beauty” (brown), ”Wicked” (green) and “Violetta” (purple). $32

4.  Nars Lip Gloss- another one of my favorites from Nars is their lip gloss in “Orgasm.” When I got my make-up done for a homecoming dance one year, I got this particular lip gloss as a free gift and absolutely loved it. Absolutely gorgeous color and it seems to last long. I have also heard from other people that they love using Nars blush in “Orgasm” too. Apparently a very popular color. $24

5. Boots No 7 Quick Thinking 4-in-1 Wipes – these make-up removing wipes are great! They come in a pack of 30 but the wipes are plenty big so unless you wear extremely heavy make-up, you can probably get away with ripping these wipes in half. These quick thinking wipes allow you to cleanse, tone, moisturize and remove your make-up all in one simple step. Available at Target. $7

Spotlight On: Ulta Beauty

ultaI am not sure how many of you are familiar with Ulta Beauty. I had never heard of the store until it had opened in a nearby strip mall. Ulta Beauty has ALL of your beauty needs. They carry brands like Benefit, Smashbox, Urban Decay, Pur Minerals and many more. They even have their own line of makeup as well, Ulta and Ulta Professional. What I love about this store is that it offers a variety of brands and products which makes it nice when you need to buy from different brands or you just want to browse. Ulta Beauty is your one stop beauty shop. The other great thing about Ulta Beauty is they always have great deals on their products. Online they seem to always be having a special going on. Right now you can enjoy free shipping on orders of $25 or more. If you go in store TODAY ONLY and are a college student, you can enjoy 20% off your entire purchase just by showing them your student ID. Not bad. Ulta Beauty has many sales so if you have some products that you have been dying to try but don’t want to payfull price, you need to check out an Ulta Beauty store or Ulta Beauty online. They have tons of sales, discounts and deals. Also subscribe to their mailing list, you won’t regret it!
