Prime Early Access Deals - shop now for the best savings! Christmas is coming...

Hi ya Gorgeous,

Are you ready for the holidays? Doin' any Christmas shopping?

 

All the big retailers are doing their "Black Friday" sales now. In my opinion! I am seeing these running days of sales events and I think that this year is going to be a bit different in the normal Thanksgiving weekend of turkey, green bean casserole, movie marathons and epic shopping for Christmas with big deals and sales. It's my opinion.

 To check my opinion, please visit blackfriday.com to see what the mass market retailers have scheduled for the weekend sales events. Then notice that right now, Amazon is running pre-Prime day early sales.

The deals are good! These are a few of my faves. The links are affiliate and thank you for shopping with me. Now - let's look at these beauty goodies that any makeup lover would want! 

 Please note that the items have free returns and extended return periods as well as many items I am looking at have additional clickable coupons to help bring down the price. Add in the free Prime shipping and the holidays are lookin' good! 

 Amazon Prime Early Access Deals:

Wet'n'Wild nude shadow palette  https://youtu.be/6Ov1S_7iv20

Pura d'Or Biotin shampoo / conditioner set  https://amzn.to/3Vw1CTg

Paula's Choice liquid exfoliant - https://amzn.to/3fXKxRJ

There are SO many deals in beauty, hair, skin, nails to choose from! Plus, I've been looking to buy a new laptop and walking desk treadmill and guess what? Both are on major sale! 

Personally, I'm having a bit of a Black Friday weekend already! Let me know in the comments what great sale items you get! Happy shopping!

Holiday Beauty Shopping: Piggy Paint SOPHi nail polishes for natural nails long lasting diy manicures

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

 

Happy October - half way through it! What did I tell you? What, did I tell you? The time flies so fast! 

Today I have a video demo review of a natural nail polish from Piggy Paint in SOPHi.

Watch the demo and test then please check back in a few days as I update how the manicure has held up.

 

 

More importantly, if you have a beauty lover in the family who likes doing nails, the time to start buying your gifts was weeks ago. It's like the saying about planting trees "the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time to plant a tree is today". In the current state of things being 2020 weird in 2021, buy your gifts now. So many news stations are talking about supply chains and supply shortages and there is no time better than the present to take care of business.

 

For your Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa shopping - think Piggy Paint SOPHi!

 

This video is a live demonstration of the Piggy Paint Sophi natural non toxic nail polish that says it will last on a natural nail - similar - to a gel manicure. Personally - I love a long lasting gel or dip powder manicure. 

 

But! 

 

I do not like the time involved or cost. In my experience, the gel and dip powder manicures take time to apply, and I have to go back to the nail salon to have it removed - and I pay both times. Yes, those manicures on natural nails last for weeks. 

 

 

 

This product, the duo set of primer/top coat and color are promised to last on a natural nail when you cure it with the heat of a blow dryer. I have painted one hand, the left, with the blow dryer heat and you will see that in the video. 

 

 

My right hand, is painted with OUT the heat. It's October 13 - I have high hopes that this manicure on both hands will make it to Sunday October 17th without any chipping or wear. If that happens, I"m sold! I think if you are a home diy manicure person, in general, you will love this product for it's commitment to non-toxic polish. As a person who has short patience for a desire to have pretty nail.  This product is made in the USA.

 

I'm waiting to see what happens. Don't wait for me to share - do your own test on the product using this link to Amazon prime: https://amzn.to/3FJEZma (*affiliate link*) 

 

 Let me know your experience with this product and thoughts on the colors and wear!

The Aeronauts & Jane Iredale "Come Fly With Me" Holiday Color Story

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Hello Thanksgiving week! I'm so thankful for you!

Special thanks go to Amazon Studios for the lovely party and screening of The Aeronauts film, in theaters on December 6 and on Amazon Prime December 20th. Special thanks again to Jane Iredale for the makeup samples of the new Come Fly With Me holiday color story.

I also received several brushes, eye shadow primer, blush and mascara along with the lippies and palette. All or any of these goodies can take you from day time work makeup to night time date or cocktail party. Stay tuned for a collab with these - and no, it's not Jefferee or Shane.

Overall impression, I love the lip glosses and liners. The spice liner reminds me of MAC spice liner from the 80's! I really like the palette and the shadows wear well and using them wet makes for a great long lasting liner. The brown and black colors have a hint of sparkle to them making it perfect for your holiday party look or New Year's eve makeup.

 Jane Iredale can be found on Amazon, or in Naime's! Visit the website to find a location near you.





Hope you enjoy the video and let me know in the comments what you are thankful for! Jane Iredale makeup available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2DdYAfj

Hanacure- The All-In-One Facial Set - Is It Worth It?

Hi ya Gorgeous,

This weekend is just about done. I'm prepping for a very busy week ahead. I don't know about you - but - me? I'm getting everything or as much as possible done between now and the 26th so I can take the Thanksgiving weekend off and rest, eat, turkey tryptophan nap, eat some more and then do some Black Friday shopping!

So all of that brings me to my normal Sunday spa night skin routine. Which means an intense mask to prep for the week ahead. I'm wearing a gel mask for super hydration but I'm thinking of trying Hanacure.

Have you heard of Hanacure? I have heard the hype. Seen a video with an old asian man doing the mask and in the reveal video he looks really good. So, should I buy it? I'm waiting for a Black Friday sale - and will do a review video of it - but before I even order and wait for the package to arrive (thanks one day shipping Amazon Prime)  - do I even spend the time clicking to order?

Let me know in the comments!

SHOP SMALL Saturday - Enjoy These Deals!

Good morning Gorgeous!

Happy Shop Small Saturday! I love this day of the year when it comes to shopping and the melee that ensues around Black Friday - I do not partake! 

 I do all of my shopping online and even when it comes to Shop Small Saturday, I do my shopping online. Why? Because I live in a rural area and don't like going into town unless it's mandatory. Also because I have such a mega commute for work, I just don't drive if I don't have to.

So today on Shop Small Saturday - look for this blue sticker and help support the dreams of someone working a small business!

 And - please consider ordering online from businesses that have been affected by the wildfires in California, like Neptune's Net. Oh how I love to eat here!  When I leave work in Burbank, if at all possible, I drive over the wine country hills of Calabassas through the canyon and down to the beautiful Pacific ocean and then turn right, go up the PCH about 5 miles and look to the right.

There is Neptune's Net, a small family owned eatery that has been there for decades. Until now - the building is still there though they are without power! The wildfire came right up to the edge of their building yet they were spared! If you could, would you order something from their website?  A gift card, key chain, tshirt, anything will help! It keeps them in business while APS is working to get the power back on.

Use this link here   https://neptunesnet.com/products

Now for my guys and gals out there who have family portraits coming up, and travel, and CES and any number of events you are going to need a fresh shave, a perfect stocking stuffer and some anti-aging skincare to be work ready in the new year!

Consider shopping J Paul Skincare online and get a big discount while also supporting an independent family owned business!  I've tried the skincare and love the shave cream filled triple blade razor for travel! 

Use this link to order:  http://www.jpaulskincare.com/

Now just in case you or someone you know is getting married, I have my diy bridal makeup course geared to the encore bride or those who are saying "I do" times two.  

These short videos are easy to follow and learn along with to get your best destination wedding look, or backyard brides have a deep saving on your wedding budget with this video course.

Use this link for savings and a free gift with purchase!

http://diybridalmakeup.teachable.com/

This holiday weekend, instead of buying the separate $47 personal one on one makeup lesson, get it free this weekend only when you shop small!

 

Now get to shoppin' small!

Shop Small Saturday today with The Glassberries

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

Life is happening pretty fast around here and Thanksgiving is now 24 mere hours away meaning that the busiest shopping day, *ahem* weekend bleeding over into Monday is now upon us.

Shop Small is November 29th, though I encourage you to begin to "shop small" now. Why? Because crafters and artisans can not stamp out their creations by the 100's at a time.

Like this lil beauty, these glass berries are gorgeous and remind me of my Pandora bracelet of charms. If anyone wants to get me a new bracelet full of berries, then by all means do!

Here's some details or ya and link too!

The Glassberries Store offers a wearable feast for fruit lovers including gardeners, gourmets and those of us who picked berries when we were kids.  I hand-make each of my fool-the-eye glass berry charms and sculptures by shaping colored glass in the flame of a torch.   

They make treasured gifts!  You can buy them alone or already made into heirloom-quality earrings, bracelets and necklaces.  

 My jewelry, sculptures and ornaments are priced from $20 to $2000 and I ship worldwide.  Free gift packaging for every purchase and free Priority Mail shipping in the US for items over $50!

Shop small at  https://www.etsy.com/shop/GlassBerries
