1 ) Tarte Friends and Family Sale
2 ) Stila Los Angeles Warehouse Sale
NOT to be confused with the online warehouse sale, this is the real deal. Line up early (some folks start lining up at 4am, I think we got there at around 6am last year) or do not bother.
I previously did an article listing various Black Friday events and then I realised two important things: A ) everyone beauty blogger on the planet was surely giving the same information and that’s assuming followers of beauty blogs did not already have that information from the myriad of Black Friday emails. and B ) I do not really care about Black Friday. At all. There, I said it. I actually often participate in the anti-Black Friday event “Buy Nothing Day” and make it a point to do no shopping whatsoever on Black Friday.
When I do shop, I actually greatly prefer to support small business during this time of year. The Big Girls and Boys are going to get theirs regardless. Small business needs love too. Also if you are a pro makeup artist, there are other things to think about besides buying more product (fun though that may be 
). Here are some cool Black Friday / Cyber Monday (my birthday!) sales that you may not have known about… Continue reading →
NARS Cosmetics Larger Than Life Long Lasting Eyeliner
Fall is fast upon us so all the lines are debuting their Fall Collections. A benefit to the change of seasons is that many lines will be selling off old product from previous collections. It’s a great time to be a makeup maven right now! Here are what some of my favorites have going currently (all the headers are links directly to the sale/collection being discussed)… Continue reading →

Stila One Step Foundation - gone but not forgotten
Stila is currently having it’s Semi Annual Online Warehouse Sale . What caught my eye and why I’m posting about it is that they are apparently either discontinuing or re-formulating their fabulous One Step Foundation, which is a primer and foundation all in one formula. This was one of my favorite foundations to recommend for daily wear (as opposed to the foundations I use for photography) so I’m bummed if it is being discontinued. In any event, whether you are one of the many ladies whom I’ve introduced this product to, or you have been looking for a comfortable daily wear foundation with light but complete coverage, you may want to stock up before this product is all gone… In addition to the One Step Foundation, other sale items of note just on cursory glance are
- Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer
- select shades of the ever popular and fab Lip Glazes
- select shades of the single Eye Shadow Pans including some of the mattes
- several palettes including the fabulous Color Wheel palette that was introduced last year
So run don’t walk and get ‘em while you can! Stila Semi Annual Online Warehouse Sale .
I know I’ve not been posting of late because I’ve been a busy working bee.
I had to post when I got this, however, because Becca Cosmetics is one of my favorite brands and not enough makeup mavens are hip to the line, in my opinion. If you’ve wondered how the products are but have been afraid to jump in, now is your chance to do so at a discount*!
My favorite Becca product?
Becca Cosmetics Beach Tint in Watermelon
The fantabulous multi-use Beach Tint. The Beach Tint comes in 7 fantastically versatile colors and I’ve used it on eyes, cheeks and lips with beautiful result!
Yaby Cosmetics Pearl Paint Eyeshadows
I previously mentioned that this would be happening soon: For the first time since it’s inception, the fabulous Yaby Cosmetics will be increasing it’s pricing. For the next 24 hours, however, you can get 30% off your Yaby Order.
Use code 201103150030 at checkout and don’t miss out! Yaby was made by a makeup artist with makeup artists (and discriminating makeup mavens) in mind.
OK, makeup mavens, it’s that time of year once again; it’s time for the Stila Warehouse Sale. Held once per year, this event is only for the hardcore. Stila faithful have been known to start lining up at 4am! If you do decide to brave the early hours and long lines, you will be rewarded with premium product at outstanding prices. Cash and Credit only. This is an event any beauty-ista should experience at least once.

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Gilt Groupe which offers private sales to it’s membership. I was introduced to Gilt Groupe via a stylist friend and at that time you had to be either invited or referred (UPDATED – see below), but once you were in they really did have excellent sale prices. Well what about us beauty mavens? Enter Beauty Story.
I discovered beauty story when my beloved Three Custom Color had a sale via their service. Like Gilt Groupe, Beauty Story offers private, exclusive sales to it’s members often at serious discounts. Unlike Gilt Groupe, membership in Beauty Story is – at least for now – open. What I particularly like about Beauty Story is that in addition to doing partnerships with some relatively well known brands (if memory serves there was a Smashbox sale a while back as well) they also feature some of the more indie/difficult to get brands like Paul and Joe and Nvey. And if you’re wondering about price, even though I get a professional discount on Three Custom, it was still worth it for me to buy via Beauty Group’s sale.
Sign up with Beauty Story now and start shopping and saving!
(Disclaimer – Nope, they aren’t paying me. They don’t know me and they don’t even know I’m doing this little story on them. I just really like the service and thought I’d tell my readers about them…)
EDIT: Gilt Groupe wrote and informed moi that they do have a code for those who want to sign up but do not have a referral/invitation. Please see the comments section. Thanks for letting us know, Gilt Groupe!
