PSA: Sephora Makeup Artist Belt Set - SALE

I would like to direct you to Sephora's website, where they are currently selling their Makeup Artist Belt Set for $99 with free 3-day shipping!  The set would normally sell for $275.  At $99, it amounts to under $7.00 per brush and a free pro brush belt (which Sephora sells separately for $42).  What a fantastic deal!

It looks like Sephora is discontinuing and re-vamping some of these brushes, so they are selling the set at a massive discount to make room for the new products.  Included is their Makeup Artist Belt and 15 brushes:


- Professional Natural Crease Brush #10
- Professional Natural Smudge Brush #11
- Professional Natural All Over Shadow Brush #12
- Professional Natural Medium Eyeshadow Brush #14
- Professional Lash & Eyebrow Comb #21
- Professional Angle Brush #22
- Professionnel Platinum Smokey Eye Brush #24
- Professionnel Platinum Natural Powder Brush #40
- Professionnel Platinum Natural Slant Brush #42
- Professionnel Platinum Natural Fan Brush #43
- Professionnel Platinum Stippling Brush #44
- Professionnel Platinum Concealer Brush #45
- Professionnel Platinum Foundation Brush #47
- Professionnel Platinum Bronzer Brush #48
- Professionnel Platinum Lip Brush #61

I have some of Sephora's Professional brushes, and I am pleased with the quality.  The Smokey Eye Brush #24 is one of my favorites, and Lisa Eldridge recommended it as well in this video of her favorite brushes.  I also like the Crease Brush #10 and the Natural Slant Brush #42.  Those are the ones from this set I have tried, and I recommend them.  Based on my experience, this is a fantastic value!  I have ordered one of these myself.

Burberry Beauty - Fall 2012 Collection Tidbits

Burberry Beauty Fall 2012 - image c/o Burberry.com

Last weekend I caught up with Angie at the Burberry Beauty counter in the Nordstrom Bellevue Square.  She had a lot to tell me about Burberry Beauty's fall releases.  No pics yet, but hopefully they, along with some more details, will come soon.

The look will be a softly smoked eye with neutral cheeks and lips, as seen in the image above.  

1. Eye palettes - Burberry will be releasing its first ever eye palettes this fall, designed to create a soft, smoky eye.  There will be four, each with its own color theme.  Right now we know there will be a mocha-themed palette and purple-themed palette.  More details as they are available!

2. Matte foundation - Burberry will be adding a matte foundation to its line-up.  I can't wait to try this one.

3. New eyeshadow shades - Burberry will roll out several new shades of its sheer eyeshadow, and will be discontinuing some of the old ones.  At least some of the new shades will be updated versions of the discontinued ones.

At this time, it looks like all of these products are additions to the permanent range.

We have some great things on the horizon from Burberry Beauty.   I am anxious to see them in action; Burberry has an impressive range thus far, and I'm always thrilled with their products.  When I learn more, I'll definitely share it.

Burberry Beauty Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Exclusives

Image c/o Nordstrom.com

During Nordstrom's upcoming Anniversary Sale (starts mid-July) Burberry Beauty will offer 1) a set of three lipglosses at a special price, and 2) a gift with $125 purchase.

The Lip Glow set includes Rosewood No.1 (mauve pink nude), Blush No.4 (warm pink), and Nude Beige No.9 (light peach beige) Lip Glow glosses, and is priced at $65.

Burberry Beauty - Lip Glow in Rosewood No.1

Burberry Beauty - Lip Glow in Blush No.4

Burberry Beauty - Lip Glow in Nude Beige No.9

Burberry's Lip Glow glosses are normally $27 each, so this set will save you $16.  The Lip Glow formula is sheer to semi-sheer depending on the shade, and is also moisturizing to the lips.  Be warned that if you are looking for lots of color these will not likely be for you.  Instead, these glosses provide polish, shine, and a hint of color.  They are among my favorites; they are excellent for daytime wear, and for evening over a lipstick or paired with a smokey eye.

The gift with $125 purchase will be a black Burberry Beauty cosmetics pouch (about the size of an iPad) containing a dual-sided magnifying mirror compact (in Burberry's signature gunmetal check packaging), a mini Lip Cover lipstick in Rosewood No.4, and a mini Burberry Body perfume (deluxe sample size; more than a regular sample).  No pics at this time but I will update when they are available.

You can pre-order the Lip Glow set (along with all your other Burberry Beauty needs so you can receive the GWP) by calling Angie at the Nordstrom Bellevue Burberry Beauty counter, 425-455-5800 x1043.  As always, she can ship your order to you free of charge once it is available.  Let her know you read about Burberry here at PrettyAddicted!

UPDATE: Check out the promotional images for the Lip Gloss Trio and the GWP at CafeMakeup!

UPDATE: I have photos, swatches and details about the trio and gift with purchase in this post!

Rouge Bunny Rouge comes to BeautyHabit.com!!!

I can barely contain myself ... Rouge Bunny Rouge is now available in the U.S. through California-based BeautyHabit!  If you have looked at my blog at all you know I am obsessed with RBR.  Until now, RBR was available to the U.S. only through U.K.-based Zuneta.com, which has outstanding customer service and comes highly recommended.  Seriously, they are a fantastic company!  Shopping with them can be a drag on the wallet, however, with the dollar to pound conversion fluctuating as it does.  Totally not their fault, just a fact of life.

Enter BeautyHabit.com!  BeautyHabit will make it easier for those of us in the U.S. to get our hands on the latest and greatest from this wonderful brand.  They are currently offering a free Gleaming Temptations Lip Gloss in Love Tricks (a sheer lilac mauve with an opalescent sheen) with your purchase of 2 or more RBR products.  Use code LOVERBR through 4/25 or while supplies last.  Hop to it!

You can see Love Tricks at the bottom of the image - just click to enlarge it.  Never one to pass up a GWP, I ordered two Original Skin blushes - Gracilis and Habanera.  Will you be ordering anything now that RBR is available stateside?

Naked 2 Palette in Sephora Stores Now

This weekend, I spied the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette in my local Sephora store.  It wasn't a hit for me, but I know many of you are eager to pick it up!

Urban Decay Naked 2 (press image)

You can also get Naked2 online now at UrbanDecay, Sephora, and Ulta.  The palette qualifies for free shipping from any of those sites, but my favorite is Sephora because of their free (and hassle-free) return policy.

Enjoy :)

PSA: BECCA Lost Weekend Palette 30% off at Dermstore

Just a heads up to let BECCA fans know that Dermstore.com is currently offering the Lost Weekend Palette for $34.50 - that's 30% off the $49 price tag!  They also have Eye Tints for $22 ($2 off).

Use code DSSPE12 for free 2-day shipping (expires??).

Burberry Beauty Spring 2012 - Available at Nordstrom.com!

The Burberry Beauty Spring 2012 Collection in online now at Nordstrom.  There are new shades of Lip Cover, Lip Glow, and Sheer Eyeshadow.  Click here to see!

P.S. I am seeing Pale Barley Sheer Eyeshadow available on the Nordstrom app on my phone, but not at the website.  All the other items are on the site.  I'll update when I find out more.  All the items are now available at Nordstrom's website!

Chanel Spring 2012 and Knightsbridge Collections - Online

Chanel has put both the Spring 2012 and Knightsbridge Collections on the U.S. side of Chanel.com, but the items are listed as out of stock.  They should be available shortly!  They are showing as available, but when you try to check out they disappear from your cart.  Items that are not from either of the new collections work just fine.  Hopefully Chanel will fix this soon! Items are now available for purchase!

Chanel.com is offering free standard shipping and gift boxes on all purchases through December 16.

Fall 2011: Chanel Byzance Collection - ONLINE NOW

Nothing like the promise of fall collections to remind me of my neglected blogging duties!  The much-awaited Byzance Collection is online now at chanel.com.  Click here to see the collection and to purchase.

Many were unsure if it would show up online, but there it is!  Noticeably absent is the beautiful highlighting quint, which I believe is only available at select Chanel boutiques.  I've heard that only 1500 of them were made, and that they cost $250 each.  That's a bit much for me; I was perfectly happy to order the eyeshadow quad and the highlighting powder.  I think they will be fabulous with a peachy lip and cheek!

Madewell Charbon Bootie Doppelganger

Hey all!  If you were into this wedge bootie from Madewell but missed out, then take a look at this look-alike for a fraction of the price!

Just a little something I found in my Internet travels.  I hope it helps some of you :)

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).

Image courtesy of zuneta.com

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!

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.

PSA: J.Crew launches Factory Merchandise online!

This morning J.Crew launched an online outlet for its Factory merchandise.  The outlet is accessible through it's main website at jcrew.com (click here), and is available from Friday at midnight to Sunday at 11:59pm.  Items purchased through the Factory website can be returned either through the mail or at J.Crew Factory stores only.

I had heard that J.Crew might be launching its Factory stores online, and I was wondering how they were going to do it successfully.  I think making it a weekend-only event keeps it special enough that it will not dilute the brand.  I also think their choice of items to sell online is spot on - they have chosen to recreate best sellers from previous seasons.

My only concern is the hit-or-miss quality of the Factory outlet stores ... those of you who have shopped there know what I mean.  Those who have not experienced the "Crewlet" may be disappointed in some of the items, especially for the price (lower than J.Crew, but not low enough sometimes).  Nevertheless, I am happy to see the new Factory section on jcrew.com and am excited to see which items they feature in the coming weeks.

See some of my faves after the jump!
