Sedona Lace

Sedona Lace is an awesome company that sells some amazing makeup brushes. One set in particular has been calling my name for the longest. The MakeupByRenRen Vortex brushes to be exact. Because these brushes were $90, I was a bit iffy on making the purchase. I'm not by any means afraid to purchase quality but being since I couldn't touch and feel them before purchasing I was a little apprehensive.

On Black Friday, Sedona Lace had a repeat of its last years sale. 50% off the entire site! I decided to take the plunge and buy this brush set. I'm kicking myself for not purchasing the one with the zipper brush belt but since I have a MAC brush belt that I like, it's okay.

The shipping was extremely fast! I made the purchase late on Thursday thanksgiving night and received them on the following Monday afternoon!

I haven't had the opportunity to use them for long but I can tell you that they are very well made and sooo soft! At only $45, I'm glad I made the investment!

I also picked up one of the brushes from the midnight lace collection called the synthetic eye shading brush #305. It is soft as well. As a free gift for being one of the first 4,000 orders on Black Friday, I received a black liquid eye liner pen.

If Sedona Lace runs this sale again, I will purchase ALL of the brush sets.

Recollections Rainbow Rolling Cart

I was in need of something to store my cosmetics. I wanted something with wheels so that I could put it in a corner and roll it to wherever I wanted.

After searching I came across a rolling cart at Walmart. Instead of purchasing it there I ended up getting mine from Michaels Arts & Crafts store. It was marketed as a cart for stationery and other crafts.

I purchased the cart for $29.99, which was the cheapest I found. There were reviews that the drawers fell out and wouldn't hold anything heavy. I will say that the drawers definitely do fall off track. Periodically you will have to tighten the screws so that the cart doesn't lean. The leaning is what causes the drawers to fall off track.

I have my drawers full. The heavy items are towards the bottom which are mainly nail polishes and a few hair care products.

Overall I like it but I would not repurchase. I will née to find something a little more sturdier for my liking. I did not have a problem with the wheels rolling over smooth surface but I did notice I kind of had to pick it up when tiling across carpet.

So to reiterate:

Pros

1. Color code different drawers

2. Has wheels for easy traveling

3. Has a top surface that will support additional items

4. Sleek and compact

Cons

1. The drawers do slide off track if overfilled or if the bars need to be tighten

2. The space between one drawer to the next is minuscule so you can't fit odd shaped objects in the drawers (i.e. Bottles like setting spray) unless you lay them sideways

I hoped this helped someone! How do you store your makeup?

Coastal Scents

Coastal Scents is having an awesome deal. They are already affordable but now they are (for lack of better words) even more affordable!

Regularly $1.99, CS has their hot pot eyeshadows on sale for $0.99! That also includes their hot pot Concealers. Now I've tried their eyeshadows before and I honestly can't tell the difference between theirs and any other eyeshadow brands. 

This time around I ordered 24 eyeshadows to fill up my MAC duo palette. CS eyeshadows do fit MAC palettes but you have to put a magnet on the shadow pans so that they stick or you can put them in a z palette. Since my z palette is full, I'm going to purchase a magnet strip and put them in my MAC palette. To make things even easier, CS sells palettes as well. They use to run a promotion where if you bought so many hot pots, they would include a free palette but they stopped that.

I had a $1.50 in reward points so that paid for one shadow and half of another (lol). Shipping was about $4, so I only spent $26. Shipping was extremely fast!!! I ordered Friday night and got them on Monday afternoon.

I liked the bright yellow box it came in. I'm use to brown paper packaging so this was a nice surprise.

Do you plan on ordering anything? Let me know if you would like to see swatches of anything.

Make Me Over

I wanted to amp my look up a bit but still keep it simple... This is how it turned out...

It's truly amazing what a little colored eyeliner can do to a simple smokey/neutral eye!

What have you done differently in your makeup routine lately?

True or False

True or False is a company that originally sold false eyelashes. After a while they decided to expand their company to include other accessories.

For Labor Day they had a 50% off discount code that I took advantage of. I've been eyeing a MUA hat for a while. I thought about getting the all black one but so many people have that one. I decided to go with one of the floral ones!

On the site the hats range from $10 for a beenie to $17 for a floral hat. The one I purchased was $15. With the discount I got it for $7.50 but with the shipping of $5.50, I payed $13. I also was able to score 4 free of their Monroe lashes. I love this lashes. I have a few of all of their lashes and my least favorite are the homewreckers. The ones I was sent did not look as pictured. I was able to get refunded for them so its ok.

If you decide to order from this company, please keep in mind that shipping will take quite some time. The longest it's taken to get from California to me in North Carolina is three weeks. That's quite a long time but I've gotten each and every order!

Do you like hats like these?

Pop Art Craze by Wet N Wild

I finally saw the teeny tiny display at my local Walgreens store! The eyeshadow palettes appeared untouched and they was just one orange and lime green polish waiting for me to purchase. I loved them so much I went back for the rest of the polishes. On my second trip the eyeshadow palettes were still there but there was one light blue polish, one white polish and two of both the dark blue and purple polish.

The eyeshadow palettes were $2.99 each and the nail polishes were on sale for $0.69 each. I think they would've been $0.99 each at regular price but don't quote me on that. I will post swatches if anyone would like to see them. Just leave a comment below.
