One of my most
favorite things in the world is makeup. I have
fallen in love with brands like Smashbox, Bare Essentuals, Cargo, NARS, etc etc...
I have been a fan ever since the hub and I got engaged over 3 years ago as I wanted to have what I like to call
" fancy girl"makeup for the wedding.
Even though this makeup is
pure FAB it is expensive. And you know me, Queen of Cheap,
I refuse to pay
60 bucks for powder (
AHEM Smashbox!). So what is a girl to do?
Well, first, I share with you one of my
favorite haunts, the
Sephora in JC Penny's in Manteca. I have scored beyond
killer deals on makeup thanks to their clearance, but I am sure a majority of you don't even live near Manteca, Ca so I have
another solution. EBAY.
Wait, don't write me off yet,
hear me out!! Yesterday, I logged into nomorerack.com 10 minutes too late and they were selling Smashbox halo (reg $59) for
16 bucks. And of course,
SOLD OUT. Angry I missed it, I thought for moment to check
ebay. I used to avid ebayer but the bidding give me anxiety, LOL!! I still like to look though and thank goodness I did.
I typed in Smashbox and came up with listings. I wasn't in the mood to bid, so I looked for the
"buy it now" products and suddenly
an angel appeared. This lady named Laurie sells Smashbox, Urban Decay, Bare Essentuals, Tarte and many other brands for
DIRT CHEAP and even better, a majority of her products are
FREE SHIPPING and she has 100% positive reviews, and she has like, over 2,000 positive reviews.
HOLY CRAP.
I found
Bare Essentuals eyeshadows for
6 bucks (normally 16),
smashbox trio eyeshadows (normally 28)
for $6.99,
Lip Fusion plump lipstick (normally 38)
for $16.99 just to name a few. She has all different brands, lipsticks, face, eyes, brushes, etc!!
If you are a fan of these products,
go NOW. Your welcome. Her store

Enjoy all!!!!
