Pursebuzz!

Have you seen this? Watch the whole thing for how to get a free gift :)You can also see Pursebuzz's full review of the Diamond Perfect Finish here.A couple of things of note: You must ask for the buki (and specify which type of hair) in the notes section of the order. It will automatically be included in your order - there's no need to add it to your cart.Offer valid through Friday, 12/10/10, or

What's in YOUR Sephora Cart?

It's no secret that Sephora's Friends & Family sale begins tomorrow. Starting tomorrow (newly updated: it's working) NOW through November 3rd, you can receive 20% off your entire order with the code FF2010. Spend over $50, and get it shipped to you for free as well.So many of my beauty friends find that visiting Sephora does for them what chocolate does for me - it can cure even the worst

Anniversary Sale!!

Yay, the time is here! On Sept 18th, we're celebrating our 3rd year anniversary. The response on what kind of a sale you'd like best was pretty much split right down the middle between free shipping worldwide and a percentage off across the board. I couldn't decide, you couldn't decide, so I did both.For those who want Free Shipping Worldwide, I had to set a small minimum order size of $15.

Sale Announcement Coming...

Many of you may have seen the tweets about our anniversary sale. Though the announcement is up on our YouTube channel, I'm leaving some of the mystery since the sale doesn't happen just yet anyway.Check back tomorrow night for the blog post announcement, or make sure you're signed up for our newsletter, which will be sent tomorrow morning. It's only a one day sale, so make sure you subscribe to

5 Hour Sale!

Since it's the first day of school for my daughter, I'm doing a 5 hour sale (which coincidentally ends the time she gets home from school). Now you guys know that I rarely do sales, and there will be a bigger one coming for our 3rd anniversary in September (see post below), but I just threw this one together at the last minute.From now until 6:00pm EST, order a full sized foundation, and your

Long Time, No Post

Boy, talk about the ultimate in procrastination - it's been over a month since I've posted even a peep! Not only have I been a busy bee, but more importantly, I can sum it up in two words: Writer's Block. I've got so much going on, I really haven't stopped to think about what to post. How do bloggers who post new content do this every single day? Even now, I logged on to write this post, and

Purely Cosmetics Supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness runs all through October. In support of this very important cause, Purely Cosmetics will be donating 10% of all sales during the month of October to breast cancer research. Instead of asking me when I may be running my next sale (which are not often anyway to keep them special), please use this month to place any orders and help someone else in need. While you're at it,

Thank heavens I only turn 50 once!

Just a quick Thank You to everyone who participated in yesterday's Birthday Bash Sale-A-Thon. It was an overwhelming success! This is just the orders packed last night (ok, more like until the wee hours of this morning) sitting on my husband's cubby to take to the post office this morning on his way to basketball. I shoulda left a rolling cart next to the pile for him!I had so much fun

The Skinny on Thursday's Birthday Bash Sale-A-Thon

I've spent all day today putting together the how to's and what to's for Thursday's Birthday Bash Sale-A-Thon (Woot-Off Style). The trickiest thing was trying to figure out how to keep you from having to place multiple orders, resulting in my issuing multiple refunds for excess shipping. And not knowing whether you're done shopping or not, leaving a bunch of semi-ready orders sitting there

Save The Date: Aug 27 Birthday Bash!

Go figure this: I'm not a fan of celebrating my birthday with parties and such - take me out to dinner so that I don't have to cook, and I'm happy. But every year, I do something special on the site to celebrate. As you know, my birthday is coming up next Thursday, when I'll be having one of those birthdays that end in "0" - and a number that when doubled, I'm pretty much assured of not being

Oops - Our mistake is your savings!

OK, I admit it. I screwed up. I thought I was ordering the waterproof gel eyeliners in 2 really cool new shades. Turns out, in my excitement, I didn't read things very carefully, and ended up buying Waterproof Creme Eye Shadows instead. These are NOT my Cream to Powder Shadow Singles, and I'm afraid that y'all will get confused between these creme shadows and my Cream to Powders.So.... I need to

I'm Baaaack!

I had a fantastic time in Vegas at Cosmoprof. My feet were killing me from all the walking, and the heat hit as high as 122 degrees while driving there, but it was well worth it! I actually got to meet the owners of some of the companies I use as vendors (waves hi to Karen), scouted out some potential new items (I'm testing them now), and finally got to meet some of my favorite beauty bloggers (

Shhhh... Just Between You and Me (almost)

Woo Hoo! For those of you who follow me on Twitter, or read a couple of posts down about the review from Melissa Street of In My Professional Opinion, you know that I've been hintly lately about a new product coming in. Mostly, I've been referring to it as the "Super Secret Diamond Stuff" (yes, it has diamonds). Now it's finally got a real name: Diamond Perfect Finish. It should be here by the

New Stuff & Reduced Prices

We added a few new things to our line in the last couple of weeks. By popular request, we now carry a dual fiber stippler brush - a great tool for applying bronzers or blushes when you want a softer, less defined focus. Unlike a standard blush brush, you don't apply in a sweeping motion - you "push" or "dot" on your color. The head of the brush has fibers of different lengths, giving an

Black Friday Special

Like this kabuki? It's perfect for those who prefer the short handle of a kabuki combined with the easy of application of a flat top foundation brush. Made of the softest synthetic hairs on the market, this kabuki is very dense as well, and applies foundations marvelously.I know I promised Cyber Monday promotions, but I just decided at the last minute to have one Black Friday item - I was feeling

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sales

Here I am leafing through all the fliers from today's newspaper, and I'm really not seeing anything super special that merits getting in line at 4:00am. Where are the $199 computers? Has anyone seen any store that's offering super good stuff that you have no shot of getting because there's only 2 of them per store? You know, the very reason you get in line to try for that lottery, then go buy

It's My Birthday, & I Can Do What I Want To!

OK, so the title is modified a little, though I suppose I'm old enough that I should cry too! In my house, the only one who gets birthday gifts if my daughter. Unless it's a birthday ending in a "0", we don't exchange gifts. Although, this year I supposed you could say I'm getting a gift: the house is going to be repainted. Romantic, huh?But that's not the purpose of this post. I'm not whining,
