Rave: Perfume Deals

Happy Sunday Funday Beauties!

What better way to spend your Sunday than hit up the mall for sales! I managed to snag two great deals, in my opinion, on some much needed new fragrances.

My first stop was Victoria's Secret. I really had no specific perfume that I was looking for; I mainly wanted to perfume something with a $10 minimum, so I could receive a Secret Reward Card (if you're not sure what that is, I recommend clicking here!). Near the checkout line at my store, there is a display full of $10-$15 perfumes and body mists. As I mentioned earlier I wasn't looking for any specific scent, so I decided to try the Dream Angel's Desire body mist.

Retail: $10.00

Next stop was Kohl's because were having their Kohl's cash sale. Basically for every $50 worth of stuff you purchase, you will receive a $10 Kohl's "cash" that is good on anything in the store (pretty much $10 "free" dollars). I picked up some non-beauty related items that happened to be on clearance (my favorite!) and ended up in the makeup section afterwards... what a shock. Today was the last day of the sale, so a lot of the fragrances that were on sale, were already picked over. First let me start off by saying I am in no way shape or form, a fan of Paris Hilton, but oh my god her perfumes smell so good! I would have never purchased the gift set for the retail value or suggested retail value, but for a clearance price of $12... oh yes! The set contains three rollerball perfumes: Paris Hilton, CanCan, and Siren.

Retail: 12.00

I love catching sales, so needless to say I'm very happy with my beauty "steals"... and the money left over in my wallet!

Review: MAKE UP FOR EVER "Mist & Fix"

Happy Friday Beauties!

Alright, every girl has their "holy grail" makeup item and I have definitely found mine! If you're like me, you want your makeup to stay put for the rest of the day, regardless of the weather. After all, you did take the time to beautify yourself.

MAKE UP FOR EVER has the perfect setting spray that will keep your makeup in place all day without smearing! Now you may be thinking to yourself, "$28 for a setting spray is a lot!", but trust me the 4.22oz bottle will last forever (...okay maybe not forever, but a good amount of time!).

I first stumbled across this while browsing Sephora online after Christmas in 2011 to snag a few deals. Naturally I was on the hunt for another item to qualify my order for the "free shipping with $50+ purchase". That wasn't very hard for me to do... if I could buy the whole store, I would in a heart beat. I somehow stumbled on over to the travel/trial size items and found the MAKEUP FOREVER Mist & Fix. For only $10 they were offering a 0.84oz bottle, which was okay in my opinion for never trying the item prior. Why not start out with the smallest size, just in case it was some god awful product.

After going through and reading the reviews listed on the product page I was sold. I attend a lot of concerts and lost count of how many times my makeup ends up looking like a crime scene by the time the show is over. Last August, I attended a week long festival in the Midwest and that week I knew this was my holy grail. I was in the 90 degree heat for hours, watching act after act, and my makeup didn't smear or wipe off my face one bit. From the morning until the wee hours of the night, my makeup looked like it had just been applied, or even touched up. My eyeshadow colors were still vibrant, my black eyeliner hadn't smeared, and my foundation was still in full coverage mode. I was beyond amazed that a simple product could make my makeup look this good!

My first bottle ran out this past January and has since been repurchased and replaced with the larger size. I have seen other makeup junkies rave about similar products such as Urban Decay's version: Chill Makeup Setting Spray and the more widely known Skindinavia version: The Original Makeup Finishing Spray.

I would definitely recommend this for anyone who has an active lifestyle or just wants to keep their makeup looking great all day!

Retail: $28.00
