Nutra Luxe MD Microdermabrasion System Purchase from HauteLook

I always wanted to try one of those microdermabrasion systems. I can’t afford to buy a Clarisonic either. I saw the Nutra Luxe MD Microdermabrasion System being offered on Hautelook. This system was more in my price range.

I definitely saw a difference in the way my skin looked after one use. It did minimize the appearance of my pores and fine lines.

 

ULTA Haul: Featuring Urban Decay and Other Stuff

Image

ULTA is currently having their 21 days of Beauty Steals. I went to ULTA the day the Urban Decay Travel-Size Trio was being offered for $12. I wasn’t thinking about this set until I went to pay for the false eyelashes. I was given a sample of the Naked Urban Decay Lipgloss because I purchased the Travel-Size Trio. The sales associate told me if I spend a total of $20 I get a free gift. The gift being offered was the It’s a Ten Miracle Leave-In. That’s why I bought the Eucerin lotion.

ImageI couldn’t pass up these lashes marked down to $3.99 each.

Crown Brush Order from HauteLook

Yes I’m at it again. I have yet to place an order from the Crown Brush Website. I don’t feel the need to since HauteLook has exclusive sets of their brushes. I took advantage of this deal on the 3-Piece Gel Eyeliner Brush Set.

I already have several gel eyeliners so purchasing this set made sense. 🙂

ULTA Haul: Featuring NYX Cosmetics

Image

I recently visited my favorite ULTA store located at the Waterfront in Homestead, PA (outside of Pittsburgh). I had an ULTA reward I wanted to use. I didn’t see anything I liked under the level three rewards. The General Manager of the store (his name is Mark) said I could pick three rewards under the level one. Mark knows I’m a regular customer at that ULTA. I went to pick out three of the NYX Butter Lip Balm only to find the display was sold out. Mark let me get three of the NYX Butter Glosses instead (can you say three for free).

I also decided to try the NYX Dark Circle Concealer. I read some great reviews about this concealer. I wanted to see what the hype was about.

This concealer blends so nicely and really does cover up the dark circles. Great product for only $5.99

HauteLook Haul: First Crown Brush Purchase of 2014

Image

It didn’t take long for me to give into the temptation of placing a Crown Brush order from HauteLook. There was a six piece eye set being offered exclusively. 🙂  I’m already a fan of the eye brushes from Crown Brush so this purchase made sense to me.

So much for practicing restraint. 😉
