Holiday Time!

Okay okay - I know that it is only a couple days after Halloween but I can't wait to talk about all the fun that is happening over at Sephora!
This time of year is one of my favorites at everyone's destination for beauty supplies...
Why you ask?

Well....the winter holidays at Sephora equal one thing....

GIFT SETS!

All that fabulous packaging, all the fun little goodies waiting to be found! Now of course, these are designed to be purchased for others- so they say! I believe that Sephora and all the cosmetic companies put out these multi-faceted wonders to tempt those of us who are regular Sephora goers. They know the glossy pics and the promise of something new inside will convince us to buy more than we intended when we walked in ( like that doesn't already happen anyway!)

My favorites so far this year...

Too Faced Glamour Revolution - $39.50

Stila Smudgepot Collection - $32

These are just two of the gift sets I will be getting this year....I have seen a ton of other awesome choices in the store and online but these two will be the first of many that I pick up. I love Too Faced for many reasons and their shadows are the ones that I use almost daily. And Stila's smudgepots are the gold standard when it comes to cream eyeliner.

What gift sets are you going to get for yourselves and others?
Do you already have a favorite?

Have a great Monday and keep looking fabulous!

Trying to spread good will not bad...

Hey BGND readers!!

First off, my apologies that it has been nearly a week since I posted. We have had some issues with our Internet lately...mainly that it was out for 5 straight days! All is fixed now and instead of being angry and bitter that our Internet was out for no good reason (argh!) I am going to try to spread some good will.

So with that in mind, I bring you a little charity love.

As most of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. And each October, most major brands in the country open their arms wide to this very worthy cause and offer products that donate some or all of their proceeds to Breast Cancer research. Now if you are like me, all of that pink can be dizzying and sometimes I do not know where to start. Not this year! I have found my Breast Cancer Research Foundation product of choice...and wouldn't you know it- it is BGND approved.

Too Faced Cosmetics Betsy Baby Duo Eyeshadow - $17 (Sephora nationwide and online at Sephora.com)

$6 of the price of this item will go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (And it is a limited edition available only at Sephora- so strike while the iron is hot!)

Now I will grant you, here at BGND we are on a bit of a Too Faced Cosmetics kick. But there is another reason that we chose this particular product for your hard earned money. The colors are fantastic and it is an affordable and stylish way to donate to an important cause. These are nice neutrals that will work on most skin tones and the color truly lasts.

Now if this eyeshadow isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of BCA products being carried by Sephora and there is something for everyone.

So get out there and spend some quality money on a quality product going to a quality cause.

Keep looking fabulous!

Hey BGND gals!

First off, sorry for my spotting posting the past little while...I am in the middle of opening a new show and my time is not my own. I will try to keep up with everything!

So as you all know, Sephora is every beauty gals go-to store. Well right now in honor of their 10 year anniversary they are bringing back some "Limited Edition" collections...some of the best of the best items they have had over the past 10 years. Here at BGND we are totally excited about this! These are the best products Sephora has had to offer since we all started shopping there and now they are all there at once and in complete collections to boot.

The one I am most excited about?

I have used the Quickie Collections over the years and have discovered some of my favorite blush and eye shadows this way...they are a great way to get more bang for your buck.
