Blog Sale: Out with the Clutter

So I've decided to go through my make up and attempt to sell whatever I either don't use, haven't used, or simply just don't need.

It's funny to actually sit down and pull out a drawer and start looking at the various products in my collection.

There are products that more than likely will see their end in the trash. But after sorting though things, and cleaning some that are quite useable (either used once or twice, or merely swatched). I have decided to attempt to sell these products just because I can use this money towards purchasing products for my kit!

So without further adue let's get into what is up for grabs. Now the biggest thing with this blog sale is it's first come, first paid...gets the items!

I will be doing all my transactions through PayPal, please keep this in mind when looking through the items listed. I will ship the following day the transaction has been processed and the funds are available in my PayPal account.

Pay Pal Account Email all Payments made to: Laronacasino@yahoo.com

*I will also send an email invoice of payment owed so that you know the exact amount*

Shipping & Handling prices

I am going to keep this fair, as I know that it doesn't cost entirely too much to send products within the states. (Most blog sales make a good amount of product off of shipping) For the initial first item the charge is $2.00 and any addition item is $.50.

**Now say you get enough items where they can fit into a flat rate box (which can cheaper & faster since it's priority). I will suggest that to you, because I do want to be fair!

Any questions, please leave them in the comment section below! And so Let's get to seeing the goodies!!!

Halloween Make up and More

Although it is really Halloween, I am posting pictures from the Halloween Party that I attended last night.

A collection of a bunch of military men, women, their spouses and children + costumes+ a little alcohol for those who wanted to add a little fun = a really good time!

Now as sad as this sounds, I actually suggested to Joe of what he should be for Halloween. I came up with the idea more than a month ago. The only items we had to pay for were the colored contacts and the wig. I happen to find the bright solid tie at the attic on base. Overall spent on Joe's costume 40 bucks and of course the time of which to apply his make up to get him into character. I'm not gonna lie, I was overall pretty proud of myself. Joe looked dead on to Manson.

Make Up used in this look:

Mix of White face paint & Revlon PhotoReady Foundation in 001 Ivory

ELF Studio HD Loose Powder

MAC Paint Pot in Soft Orche

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Slate

Coastal Scents 88 Eyeshadow Palette

Wet N Wild Cream Liner in Black

Cover Girl Waterproof Lash Blast Mascara in Black

Milani Metallic Eye Pencil in Black

NYX Girls Round Lipstick in Electra

The longest part of this whole make up process was glueing down his eyebrows (which he majorly trimmed them down to help me out...though now it looks like he doesn't have any...cause they are short and blond now).

My costume choice was actually decided the night before the party! My original costume choice was originally going to be a naughty school girl, appropriate because Marilyn Manson went to private school all his life (just in case you didn't know that). But sadly the dress I had wasn't big enough for my bust so I had to go with a back up look. Now I did a mini fashion show for Joe the night before and I let him choose. Since I was going to be on his arm or by his side most of the night, what he wanted to see me in!

Needless to say Joe picked something short, leather and sexy!

That showed alot of cleavage! ha ha

Overall, we had a really good time hanging out with Joe's coworkers. Took some homemade pizza that got eaten within the 1st hour we arrived!

Here are some random pictures from the night! Always an interesting time letting my hair down!

I like the evil/dark boys! he he

The boys striking a pose!

Yeah lol Dont know whats going on there?!

Though I had my own fun! he he

SugarPill is Now in my Life

Now I have held out a very long time before jumping on this band wagon of SUGARPILL!

Yes, I know right, what is wrong with me? SugarPill has been raved about on blogs, twitter, YouTube, and make up sites for a good while now. But it would take the Monster Sale that occurred right around Halloween this year to finally get me on board.

I actually learned about the sale via Twitter from the lovely and wonderful Phyrra, who is not only an amazing artist but a very through beauty blogger. By far one of my favorite people to read when I actually have the chance, even then just scrolling through her FOTD 's is pretty nice as well. From her I have learned of more mineral companies..who (in time) I plan to check out.

Anyways, Phyrra had a short blog entry on October 13th in regards to the Monster Sale that SugarPill was offering. In the entry she spoke of how SugarPill was being AWESOME and having a Monster sale on the Pressed Shadow Palettes. The Palettes were going to be 40% off normal price as many of them were rejects, whether it was because of a pressing error for a make up pan or packaging problems. No matter what the case was, all those palettes were going on sale...and I had to take advantage of it.

You can purchase the 4 Pressed Eyeshadow palettes at SugarPill for $34.00, which is the better deal of the pressed shadows by this company since on shadow individually is $12.00 so you end up saving $14.00 by getting a Quad. It's important to keep in mind though that the 4 Color Palettes are set in whatever colors they have, so although there are 3 Quads available one of the quads will have a repeat of colors (ie Cold Heart..which has the purple from Burning Heart and the blue from Sweetheart).

With all this said, I ordered my Quad on October 13th (pretty much right after I read Phyrra's post), since apparently people were jumping all over the deal, only one Palette was available. Now the palette I got ended up having one minor flaw which is the reason it was available for the Monster sale price.

**I like to point out that I paid $20.40 for the Quad and for Shipping and Handling it is a fixed rate of $5.00, thus the total I spent for everything was $25.40. Which no matter how you look at it is a GREAT deal for the amount of product and the quality of product I was receiving! As the Pans themselves have 4 grams of product (.14 oz)...so to get 14 grams of product for under $26 bucks totally ROCKS!!!**

I got an email about 2 hours after making my purchase stating that my item had been shipped out...same say processing?! Again, AMAZING!!! This being my first purchase from SugarPill and having such fast processing of my order, proves to me they are company to definitely keep saved in the favorites section of my laptop.

Exactly one week later, October 21st I received my lovely package! That's right 7 days, again another huge KUDOS, as it on average takes packages from other make up related companies 7 to 10 days to get processed through Customs and into my mail box!

Totally Heart the exterior packaging

Everything was packed so nice and neat!

Another thing that makes SugarPill stick out is the fact, the lovely Owner and Creator, Amy took the time to sign my order Slip. I know she is quite a busy woman, with her make up line as well as her fashion line. But it truly makes my order and overall experience with purchasing from SugarPill personal. Plus I think the sticker is super cute! The package came with two business cards, one of the company and then Amy's Personal business card!!!

Finally to what I officially ordered

The box that the palette came in...very cute packaging. SugarPill overall is just very catchy!

The exterior of the Palette.

The backside of the Palette. The SugarPill Kitty is just too CUTE!

Finally the inside of the palette! As you can see it's Burning Heart.

The colors include the following (from top Left & Down, to top Right & Down):

FlamePoint

Love+

Buttercupcake

Poison Plum

These are amazing, Brilliant, pigmented Matte shadows that are filled to the brim of the pan. The only shadow that had a small dent in it (which is another reason why it went on sale)though you can't tell in the picture is Buttercupcake, the yellow. I accidently stuck my finger in FlamePoint, the orange, before I took this picture hence the fingerprint in it! ha ha

Let's look at some swatches of the lovely products!

**Please keep in mind I swatched this over two different bases, refer to picture to see which side is on which type**

Photobucket">

Hopefully the annotations show up...photobucket was giving me some issues when I went to post the pics to the blog post! just in case the top row closest to my ring finger is on the white base, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk. The bottom swatches are on ELF Mineral Eye Primer.

Photobucket">

The colors are just amazing! PIGMENTED! BRIGHT! MATTE! FABULOUS!

Although these do remind me of the Coastal Scents Creative Me #1 Palette, SugarPill by far is brighter and has longer staying power. It took me two make up wipes (I use ELF Studio Make Up Remover Wipes) to get all the color off the back of my hand.

The hardest color to remove would be Love+, being the matte Red...and it always seems like Red Matte shadows tend to stain. But with a little extra wiping it came off and did not stain my hand, which is good cause then it shouldn't stain my lids!

Overall, I'm Very Very VERY satisfied with my first order and experience with SugarPill.

Now that I have some pressed shadows from them, I realize I long for the loose shadows. Hopefully sometime soon I will have the luxury of placing an order for some. But for the time being I hope to get some good use out of the Burning Heart Quad. I personally think I will end up transferring it over into my Make Up Kit as I can see the bright colors really popping in photoshoots, especially when I work with certain photographers that want COLOR!

I can't wait til I can place another order...for now I will just sit and oogle at the pretty colors!

XOXO
