Urban Decay Sale!

Oh man, two makeup blogs in one day?  Oh yeah.  This one is a BIG one.


I absolutely adore Urban Decay.  I own almost every eyeshadow palette (except Book of Shadows Vol 1 and the Alice in Wonderland palette), all three of the eyeshadow primer potions, and I just started dabbling in their 24/7 eye liner pencils.  I also picked up my first MAC pigments last week but didn't get the Urban Decay ones when they were on sale at Hautelook (kicking myself, I know).


So when I got this email this morning, I nearly died.


Urban Decay $5 Deals
Ultraglide Lip Gloss $17 - now $5
Smoke Out Eye Pencil $14 - now $5
Loose Pigment $20 - now $5
Vintage Brushes 50% off.

Update!  I bought all 12 pigments myself ($60 total) and I got free priority USPS shipping, and TWO free samples.  Wee!

Dermelect Pore Revolution and T-Zone Mattifier

Dermelect is a new brand to me - I found them through browsing online.  They have their website [official website], Facebook Fan Page [Facebook] and Twitter page [Twitter].  They offer tons of products, from anti-aging to face, lips, nails, etc.  I haven't tried their products yet, but this came through my email (by accident actually!), and I'm interested in it.

As I've mentioned before, I live in South Texas... Mexico is a day trip away.  It's super hot and super humid down here.  I don't wear a lot of makeup because of it - normally just eyeshadow and sometimes lipstick.  Mattifiers are quite the rage right now too, with the heat and humidity - it's good not to look super shiny all day long.

Please enjoy the following release:

PORE REVOLUTION & T-ZONE MATTIFIER, $28

• Revolutionary, powdery cream that works to instantly control shine and reduce large, clogged pores resulting in a fresh, pure matte finish.
• Specially designed for the mid-face and t-zone area, containing salicylic acid which stimulates cellular turnover and penetrates pores to sweep away blockage, while watercress extract helps clarify the skin.
• Natural soothers such as willow leaf extract calm even the most irritant prone skins.
• Instantly helps diminish pore size and represses shine!
• Available on www.dermelect.com and at C.O. Bigelow in NYC.

400 Followers Giveaway! [Everyone] Winners!

So.


I'm learning a lesson today.  People either don't like cash, or do use PayPal, or don't like PayPal.  So I've already talked to a polish company and they will be sponsoring my 500 followers giveaway (or at least part of it).  So tell your friends to join PolishGalore, so we can have a (better) giveaway!


However, to the 44 readers who DID enter my giveaway, thank you.  You had a one in 11 chance of winning!  Wee!

Zoya Exchange Haul

Well I procrastinated quite a bit, and then I paid by check (which takes an extra 10 days to process >_<) so I just got my Zoya polishes on 9 July.  Of course I have super nubbins again because I busted my hand on a concrete wall and chip splitted my nail, so I just cut everything off to be even (and filed/buffed... the good stuff).  Time to break out some Seche Rebuild!


Here's just a down and dirty picture of the polishes I picked up.  Aria and Ivy were actually a mistake.  I helped Ivy in Australia by buying her polishes for her (and I'll be sending them to her) but I placed my order before she finished giving me hers... so I decided to just keep Aria and Ivy for myself and order her a pair for herself.

Can you tell that I like purple?

Aria is a glitter from the Sirens collection.
Ivy is a shimmer from the Magique collection.
Yummy and Juicy are cremes from the Candy collection.
Demi is a creme from the Dare collection.
Areetha is a metallic from the Diva collection.
Zara is a duchrome from the Flourish collection.
Vegas Freeze is a glitter from the Glamsicles collection.
Harlow and Savita are mattes from the Matte Velvet collection.


I'm super excited to try these all.  Juicy and Demi look VERY similar so I'm looking forward to doing some comparisons as well.


Zoya [official website] can be purchased on their website for $7/bottle.
