Sparkled Beauty

There are some great deals going on this week that are time sensitive, I just want to make a post real quick to tell you.

This has never been offered before, I thought I should mention, just in case you are not subscribed to Shopers' email updates. There is a BOGO promotion on all nail polish, happening today between 6 and 9pm at all Shoppers with the coupon.

They suggest to check with your store to find out if there is a limit of the number of polish you can get. What and how many do you think you plan getting? :)

This next deal is good worldwide: Make Up Academy (MUA Cosmetics) is offering Free international shipping and 25% off on orders of £10 or more with code "MUA25" until 5pm tomorrow (UK time). Information is on their Facebook.

I have already ordered a few lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes (Undressed is supposed to be a really close dupe of UD Naked palette, for a small fraction of the price, couldn't miss it).

Now if only Sleek or Bourjois UK offer something this good, so I can stock up some more goodies.

Elf is still celebrating their 8th birthday and offers another 50% off sale on orders of $20 or more with code "BD50", this time only for 8 hours (8 - 4 EST).

There is a count down clock on the top right corner of the site, so you know how much time you have on this sale. Note that maximum discount is $100. And check out via paypal so you can avoid the extra charge on Canadian orders.

Have fun shopping!

I received a few sale notifications in my mail box, thought I should share in case some of you want to do some shopping this weekend.

- Makeup Mix Shop: 15% off store wide (except elf products). Sale ends July 26 at midnight. Free shipping US/Canada with orders $20 and over.
Time to check out EcoTools, NYX, Jesse's Girl, Kleancolor, LA Colors :-) There are accessories too.

- Coastal Scents: 15% all brushes. Sale ends July 26 at midnight. No code needed.
I only shopped at Coastal Scentsonce for 2 of the 88-shadow palettes (1 matte/satin, 1 shimmer), and shipping cost sucked (about $14). I caved in for these palettes as so many people raved about it, but with the high shipping cost, I wouldn't come back there any time soon. Shipping in the US is free with orders of $50 or more though. Lucky Americans!

- Aromaleigh: 50% off Days are on, starting July 21 for a week. Each day, a certain product will be offered at half price and announced on Miss K's blog.
I had bought a sample set from Aromaleigh before to test out. The shadows applied really smooth and the colours stayed all day. The only rant I have is again(international) shipping cost, as it would cost at least $5 to ship, even when you only order samples which fit in a small envelope. If Aromaleigh could break the cost down to different levels of order amounts, that'd push me toward ordering more for sure.
Don't forget to check out the Coupon & Deal section for some savings.

- MAC: Free Canadian Express Shipping on any purchase until July 27 at midnight. No code needed.

- Glamour Doll Eyes: Individual full-sized eyeshadows (not sets/ collections) are 50% off with purchase of $40 or more. The jars are now $4 each (regular $8). Use code "customer" at check out. Sale expires on July 29.
If you need a side purchase to make it to $40, the blushes are 33% off ($8 each instead of $12 regular) at the moment. Price already includes the discount.

- Spa Boutique: The Canada-exclusive Jane Iredale Sweet 15 Kit - Limited Edition (valued CAD369) is offered at CAD89. It comes with 15 shadows, 3 blushes and 3 lip plumpers.
As this is a Canadian site, shipping is free with any Canadian order CAD75 and over, so it's free shipping for this kit (but you'll have to pay GST). For US, shipping is $15 for orders under CAD150, and free for over CAD150. Not so lucky Americans in this case, lol. That's Canada Post pricing for you!

I don't know much about Jane Iredale brand except for its high price tag, but the kit looks decent at that price. Are there any Jane Iredale fans out there?

- Fruit & Passion: Hand wash/soap refills are CAD19.95 (regular CAD28-30). Free foaming handsoap (valued CAD12) with purchase of any 2 hand soap refills.
In the picture is the new Fruity Foaming hand soap refill in Grapefruit-Guava. Doesn't it look good enough to eat? Other 2 scents are Field Berries and Orange-Cantaloup, and that is just 1 kind of hand soap. I like the idea of refills, less packaging, more eco friendly. These bottles are 1 liter, would last you a while.
Since my first experience with Fruit & Passion, I love to step in to sniff around in the store every time I come to Micmac. It smells like fruits in there, not too overwhelming like a Lush store.

Tired of reading yet :-) Shopping or not this weekend, hope you all have a good time.

Remember my The She Space's Hope Quest 2009 post? Heather just offered an incentive yesterday that is really hard to turn down: with a $30 purchase, we will get a 20-pc sample kit (10 eye colors, 2 blushes, Cashmere Kisses, Cashmere Stockings and the not-yet-release Cashmere Sun) for free. No code needed, the kit will be added automatically when the order is processed.

FYI, Cashmere Stockings are primer/finishing powder in one, and are available in 3 levels. Cashmere Kisses are Cashmere Stockings with a bit of colours added, come in 4 shades. Visit the Face and Lips section for pictures.

The samples are normally sold at $.50 or $1 each, depending on the product type. So all together, you get to try out different products from TSS in a $14 value kit for free. Now did I get you all excited?


I just put in an order today. I got a Hope Quest quad and can't wait to give the jars of Hope Nomatter What shadows (and maybe all the rest of the quad) to my friends who need a bit of colour in their life to stay positive. I also got a full sample collection of One Little Dress (April LE), as this is such a beautiful colleciton with a variety of different shades and tones. These cute little baggies could make any girl happy. I added a sample of Far Too Free from Pisces and Faith Without Words from Taurus from the Astrology collections at the end to make a perfect $30 order :-)

If you haven't heard of The She Space before, go check it out. You won't regret you did. Also visit the message board for more information and swatches posted by Heather's customers. Let me know if you get something from her. Thanks for stopping by.

I love long weekend sales, as they give me something exciting to do when having an extra day off from work. Also, sales are always great to save some money. And we do not have to leave the house to get the deals.

Anyway, here are some deals that I am eyeing. We don't have this long weekend (as it's not a holiday here in Canada) but I check for deals anyway.

Makeup Masala's Makeup Mix Shop (MMS) has 15% off till midnight Monday. No code needed, as the discounted prices are already calculated on the website. I am tempting to get a few items in the Clearance section actually. Oh, shipping within the US and to Canada is free for orders of $20 or more, and they ship everywhere. These were my 2 hauls combined of NYX and Jesse's Girl items from MMS. I grabbed the Jesse's Girl's Colour My Wolrd the minute Toma told me she had it up on the website, as I was itching to get it for the longest time but Jesse's Girl is not sold in Canada. Customer Service was great too, and pricing was totally awesome. Believe me, I always do price check among online retailers to make sure I get great deals. So I totally recommend MMS for your fix of NYX, LA Colors, Jesse's Girl, EcoTools. Lots of beauty bloggers from outside US love MMS as it is the place where they could get items that are not available where they live.


Aromaleigh has its entire Rocks Sonic Eyes collection on sale for 50% off until midnight on Monday. 5gr jars with shifter now only cost you $3.25, awesome right? Just enter ROCKS50 in the coupon code box at checkout. Now Aromaleigh normally has some selected products on sale weekly at 25% off, but 50% is very occasionally and deals like that are normally announced on Miss K's blog. I ordered a full sample collection of Aromaleigh's Valentine before and liked it. Just one rant about shipping cost. International shipping is $5 for orders under $40 and $12 for larger orders. I just wish they break down the cost to smaller ranges, as a full sample collection fit easily in a small envelope and is very light in weight. It sucked to pay $5 for shipping. I'll report back if I get anything with this sale.
