How to save money on drugstore makeup at CVS this week!


I love using coupons on drugstore makeup because I love trying new products and what better way to do that than to get them cheap or FREE when you can!

There is a great deal at CVS this week for L'Oreal Paris and Physicians Formula and here is the breakdown!

CVS will be printing a $4 off $12 coupon at the red coupon machine.
There are also coupons from coupons.com you can print straight from your computer which are $2 off of any L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara. You can print 2 coupons per computer.

Sales:
Buy any 2 Physicians Formula products, get $10 ECB back
Spend $15 on L'Oreal Paris products, get $5 back

My suggested scenarios:
If you have previous ECB to use, you can work them into your deals too to make your out of pocket even lower!

Buy 2 Physicians Formula concealer sticks (or any other item) at $6.99 each.
Total: $13.98 + tax
Use $4 off $12 coupon from CVS coupon machine
Use any ECBs you have
Pay: $9.98 + tax get $10 ECB (you will use the $10 to roll onto the next transaction)
So FREE after ECB!

Buy 2 L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara at $8.99 each.
Total: $17.98 + tax
Use 2 x $2 off of 1 Mascara coupon you will print from coupons.com
Use $10 ECB from previous transaction
Pay: $3.98 + tax get $5 ECB which makes it basically FREE after ECB!

Your total out of pocket expense will be: $13.96 + tax with $5 ECB for your next CVS trip! That's $3.49 per item!

How to do an easy summer look!

Hi! I hope everyone is having a great summer! Is it hot where you live? It's so hot here in Las Vegas and I don't like wearing a lot of makeup in the summer heat so I usually go with something very simple, light and glowy. I like to keep it very natural because I think it looks great when the sun hits your skin and leaves that bronzed tan look.

You don't want the sun shining on a heavily made up face do ya? No! Of course not, you want to show your natural beauty! :)
Here is my go to makeup look for the summer heat!


I also did a video tutorial to show you how easy it was!


Please let me know what you think about it, how long does it take for you to do your makeup for summer?

Smokey eye makeup look using Itsjudytime Palette!

Hi lovely people!

I am currently on a mini "vacation" while my husband is on a business trip in Arizona. I packed my new Itsjudytime palette and my BH cosmetics Malibu palette to play around with while I was travelling. I figured I had the perfect combo of eye shadows as well as highlights and blushes to use in two compact palettes. 

One afternoon I decided to play around with the palettes and tried doing a smokey eye look. Now if you know me, I don't usually do dark eyes however I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try a little something different so I came up with this look! 


I love it! I used the dark bronzes and browns in the palette and a little of the purples. Then I used the dark colors in the Malibu palette to help create more of a dark shadow on the eye. I really liked how it turned out! The Itsjudytime palette had the perfect pigmentation to make it smokey but not too "blacked" out. 

So thank you Judy for the palette! If any of you want to purchase this palette, go to www.bhcosmetics.com! It's a great handy palette for starters! Lots of neutrals and a few purples to add a little color to your look :) I hope you enjoy!

Let me know what you all think of this! Is it too subtle? Too dark? I would love to hear thoughts and tips on a smokey eye for asian eyes!

Wearable Orchid Inspired look - Purple and yellow makeup

Today I was inspired by this picture of a lovely orchid my mother in law's boyfriend gave me when I had my third baby girl.


It's so beautiful I wanted to do a look on it but since it was so vibrant and had contrasting colors, I wanted to do a more subtle wearable look. I also received my package from BH Cosmetics I ordered with the 120 color palette 2nd edition. There's such a variety of colors that I wanted to test out the pigmentation of and this is what I came up with! I also have a link to Amazon you can click below if you like to purchase it yourself!

Schoolboy Brow Inspired Look

I was looking through spring/summer makeup trends of 2014 and came across this look from Cosmopolitan.uk website.


I was inspired to do this look because it was so new to me. I have never in my life done my brows before and I wanted to venture out of my comfort zone. I didn't even have brow products so I used black eye shadow and an eye shadow brush to achieve my bold brows.
 



 
I hope you like it! Go out of your comfort zone!

Gold Smokey Eye W/ Blue Lower Lash Line Inspired makeup

Hello!

It's been a long time since I posted anything and it's because I just had my third baby YAY! We just had a surprise baby girl and she's taking up a lot of my time right now but I suddenly had the urge to look glammed up today. I youtubed a few looks and found this one by AlisonLovesJB which I thought looked so pretty and decided to try it out myself.

Here is my look:
