Hello there! I know I haven’t been writing on here much, but for those of you who are fans of my makeup page, know I’ve been doing alot behind the scenes! Last week I had the opportunity to go to a pre-event meetup for The Makeup Show NYC at Inglot Cosmetics’ pro studio, and then last night got to go to a pre-event meetup at Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. While I’m busy writing posts about those and getting my photos in order, I wanted to loop you in on the great Stila cosmetics sale going on at Hautelook! (If you don’t have a Hautelook account already, it’s free to join and you can sign up here.) Hautelook sells alot more than just makeup, but the products are so discounted I can’t help but get excited when they feature great makeup brands! I instantly fell in love with Stila when I started working at Sephora – their (powder) shadows are so buttery they feel like cream. Their eye pencils and lip products are known for being long wearing and they always come up with cute palettes perfect for travel or gift-giving. Being featured on Hautelook has Stila priced cheaper than department store makeup – so check out my faves from the sale, and get yours before it ends tomorrow 11am!

What do you think of Stila – have you had any experience with their products? In case Stila isn’t your cup of tea, it doesn’t mean you can’t score a deal with your favorite brand – Sephora still has their 15% off sale everything in store and sitewide. All you have to do to be eligible to use the promo code ‘CHIC’ for the discount is sign up for free to become a Sephora Beauty Insider. The perks are great (exclusive sales and discounts like the one running now) in addition to racking up points from each purchase that can be redeemed for product. I know that beauty products never ever go on sale at the departments stores, so this may be a good time to stock up on some essentials or try something new! Will you be doing any shopping from Sephora? I’d love to know what’s on your shopping list!
