Sparkled Beauty

5 Blog Anniversary giveaways have been posted yesterday, if you haven't entered already. Daily tweet is optional :)

A quick heads up: Real Techniques has released 2 LE makeup palettes, exclusive to the US website, $25 each. They do ship internationally though.

There are 4 eyeshadows, 1 gel liner, a blush, a highlighter and 2 glosses in each palette.

In the pic is Night Owl, smoky, with more intense lip shades. The other palette is more neutral for both eyes and lips, called Modern Natural.

Follow the link and scroll down a bit to see the shades individually. Swatches are on Pixiwoo's blog.

Farleyco, Real Techniques' distributor in Canada, has not received words if the palettes will be available to us. I am not holding my breath :(

For my Torontonian readers, the very first Elizabeth Arden warehouse sale is on in Mississauga May 8-11.

General info is in the pic (click to enlarge) but Style Democracy has all sale details.

I am posting about this sale early because Beauty Crazed has a giveaway for $75 gift card to spend at the sale. If you plan on going, might as well enter to win right?

For my local readers, Michael Kors is now open at Halifax Shopping Centre. If you have been saving for some luxurious shopping, now is the time :)
