Merry Christmas!

To all my readers, I hope you have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

P.S.  I am working on some new posts for next year (haha)!

PSA: Chanel Spring Collection 2011 available online

Chanel's Spring Collection is available online!  If you purchase today, receive complimentary shipping, no code needed.  My order included the Black Pearl nail polish, because there is a distinct possibility it will sell out and I want to be able to show it to you!  I also got the eyeshadow quint and the gray eyeliner.  And yes, I'm toying with going back for the Rouge Cocos ;)

PSA: 10% off Edward Bess Lip Wardrobe at Zuneta

Today only, Zuneta is featuring the Edward Bess Lip Wardrobe for 10% off!  At 279GBP, that's about a 31GBP savings, for those in the U.K.  I am not sure, but you  may be able to stack the discount with the current 12% off code (enter ZUXMAS10 at checkout).

The Lip Wardrobe features all of Edward Bess' original line of colors - the ones that he considers his favorites.

I haven't tried Edward Bess lipsticks or glosses, but the word in the blogosphere is that they are among the best lip products out there.  See The Beauty Look Book, Modesty Brown, London Makeup Girl, and Pink Sith just to name a few!

For those in the U.S., the Zuneta price works out to be around $437, but both Neiman Marcus (use code NMHURRY for free rush shipping until 12/16) and Bergdorf Goodman (use code BGRUSH for free rush shipping until 12/16) are offering it for $400.  At that price it's still waaaay outside my beauty budget, but thank heaven for small favors I suppose!

Becca Cosmetics Fallen Angel Collection and Friends and Family Sale

Although I have heard of the brand, I have never tried Becca Cosmetics before.  I saw the promotional shot of their Fallen Angel Collection for Holiday 2010, and I knew it was only a matter of time:

PSA: Haus of Gloi Cyber Monday Treats!

I just placed my Cyber Monday order with Haus of Gloi - I admit I have become somewhat obsessed.  They are offering some previously sold-out products, as well as some specially-made products just for Cyber Monday.

Just wanted to say ..

 

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday full of loved ones and delicious food!  Be safe, and remember all your blessings today :)

PSA: J.Crew Lace tee on sale ...

... in all colors, including black!  Click here or on the image to order!





I have been waiting for the black to go on sale for a while!  If you also fancy the black, I have a feeling that will go quickly so order soon.  The green is also lovely, and was worn by Michelle Obama on her recent trip to India.

P.S. I don't know why the image is blurry; Shopstyle must be having issues with image sizing.

EDIT:  I received this tee and I love it!  It fits true to size for me; took my usual size S.  The fit is loose and it is slightly sheer; a skin-toned bra or cami may not be necessary, but it might make you feel better.

Preview: Rouge Bunny Rouge Unassailable Loveliness

RBR have just launched their latest look, complete with some brand new products.  Introducing  "Unassailable Loveliness":

J.Crew Drapey sequin tee in Dark Pewter

I just picked this tee (item 33541) up from J.Crew today with the 20% off knits promotion.  Sequins are the new ruffle ... they are all over the place this season!  I walked into the mall and it was like a unicorn had exploded.  Fortunately, I happen to love all things sparkly!

I'm still here! and Haus of Gloi

It's been hectic but fun in the last couple of weeks.  I'm currently in Seattle getting acclimated and scoping out neighborhoods with Mr. Addicted.  Next week I go back to Philly to take care of some things around the house to get that baby on the market.

I have a couple of packages waiting for me at home that I had hoped would arrive before I came out here, but alas they came a day late.  One of them is Rouge Bunny Rouge, heaven help me.

There have been a few things that have helped me keep sane through all the chaos.  I want to give a shout out to Haus of Gloi, which I decided to try after reading several raves on other blogs - good move on my part!  Haus of Gloi's Pumpkin Queen Sugar Exfoliant (now sold out) and Parkin Pumpkin Butter have been nothing short of life savers for me.

Checking in and Current Favorites

It's been hectic in the Addicted household, as we recently learned we will be relocating from the Philadelphia, PA area to Seattle, WA.  This is very exciting, but there is a TON to do in the coming weeks!  For those who might not be familiar with the geography of the U.S., that's about a 3,000-mile move.  We're thrilled for this opportunity, but YIKES!

As I mentioned, posting will be sporadic, but there WILL be posting!  Please, hang in there with me :)

I have some pictures and swatches in my camera that I will get to soon, but in the meantime I thought I would talk about some of the products I'm loving right now.

Part of what's been going on in the past week or so is that the Addicted family is MOVING!  That means I have got to clear out my closet and makeup stash in the coming weeks.  I've got some clothes and shoes posted now, and will be adding more including some makeup and skincare.  Click on the Blog Sale tab on the menu bar at the top of the page for more info.

I'm still here!

My apologies for the lack of posts ... they will likely continue to be sporadic for a little while, but I promise I will keep them coming even if they are a little inconsistent.


I am not at liberty to say exactly what has been going on just yet, but it's big and very exciting for the Addicted household.  I will share soon!

Preview: Bobbi Brown Modern Classic Lip and Eye Palette - Holiday 2010

I saw the Bobbi Brown Modern Classic Lip and Eye Palette ($75 - Nordstrom) in promo pics on Musings of a Muse, and then saw it in photos at The Beauty Look Book and Karla Sugar. I knew it was only a matter of time until it came home with me.

Review: MAC Venomous Villains - She Who Dares Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo

One of the things that arrived today in my MAC Venomous Villains order was the She Who Dares Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo.  It's much the same as My Dark Magic in formulation, except that the colors in She Who Dares are blue and green instead of the plum and violet of My Dark Magic.
