Make up rant...

Salaams and Saluations Beauties,

The other day...I look at my 'stash' and realized I have NO new make up *lesigh*.
No particular reason...besides the fact that moving is financially consuming.

So what am I leming?? hmmm

#1 Urban Decay Mattifying Powder
XXTheIslandBeautyXX from YouTube talked about the portability of it..and its JUST like MAC's prep and prime powder. I mean who wouldn't want a totalb

#2 Urban Decay I <3 NYC palette.
I KNOW ..do I really NEED another..the answer will ALWAYS be YES!!!

#3 NYX blush in Cinnamon and Angel
I've been lemming these for EVERRRRR!! Time to make them mine.

#4 NARS Sweet Revenge lip gloss

#5 Some more MAC brushes..

E.L.F Studio 50% off

Salaams and Salutations Beauties,

E.L.F. is doing it again...pulling us in to BUY stuff. Well the studio line is actually decent. I love the brushes. So...I guess this is my opportunity to get some studio supplies. You can never have too many packs of make up remover at $1.50 a pop!! I'm also going to pick up the eyebrow gel, a kabuki brush and a angled liner brush.

What are YOU lemming from the E.L.F Studio sale?




Or in general...what are you lemming? Body products, Make up, Hair ...I'd love to see what you want to pick up...sooner, or later.

B Beautiful,

End of Summer hauling...discounts

Salaams and Salutations Beauties!!
I pray you all have been well. I've got some goodies for you. I checked my email and what did I see? Anita grant has FREE Shipping till the end of August!!! WHAT?? I've been lemming Anita Grant for YEARS. Wouldn't order cuz the shipping from the UK is NO joke. BUT....this is worth taking a gander at. Free shipping..man you can go half with a friend!!

Check out EmpressRi from YouTube. She is a TRUE product junkie!!! (I thought, everyone thought, I was bad. I ain't got NOTHING on her..lol) She gives a great review of Anita Grant (with my British accent) here:


It looks like I'm a stick to samples to keep this under $100. Definately want that Carmellia Kissi oil, a Rhassoul heart, a couple of Lip Puckers and the Organic Sapote & Coconut Palmade. What about you?




Oh...and don't forget that Urban Decay is having a 30% off Friends and Family sale till the 20h of the month. Use code FNFF1 at checkout to get the discount.I love me some Urban Decay. I've been lemming their palettes for a WHILE now. I mean palettes are SOOO economical and are great for travel. This way I don't have to wait till the end of year sales to get them...hurraayy.

Check out Pursebuzz's swatches of Urban Decay products. She does a GREAT job!!

Happy shopping....
