Ask Fancy: Palettes Worth the Price?

Hi Fancy,
I just purchased Lorac's Starry Eyed Baked Eye Shadow (in Evening Star) and I'm really happy with it, but I have to wonder if I'm wasting money buying three shadows when I really only used two and the third for nights out.  It seems almost all companies are selling shadows in three, four and five shade packs, but is it really worth the money to buy them as a group? Thanks! -Ashley, PA

Hey-Girl-Heeeeey,
First off, thank you for your question! I honestly wish I could fist-bump and homie-hug every single one of my readers. So, if we are speaking strictly to value, this palette comes with 3 shadows equaling .15oz for $25.00 and LORAC's individual shadows are .06oz and cost $18. So to purchase these three shadows individually (you would lose .3oz of product) you would spend $54 instead of $25, so I would say the value is worth it. However, I understand your point, that it always seems like there is at least one or two shadows that get neglected in a palette, which can add up to wasted money in the long run. Personally, I like to buy palettes because I go through more makeup (because of personal and client use) than the average person.

My recommendations:
1. Keep your receipt. If you realize the purchase was a mistake, return it.
2. Use darker shadows in place of pencil liner (apply with sharp angled brush) for a more natural day look. This way you don't have to wait for a night out to get some more out of these shadows.

3. Go through your shadows at home before going shopping and determine what is missing or "needed".

I just bought (thanks to an awesome friend who got me a Sephora gift card for Christmas!) Urban Decay's Naked Palette which I ADORE because it has such a variety of color for both day and night.

  Definitely one of my favorite palettes of all time. Urban Decay's pigmentation and quality always deliver in every product of theirs that I've purchased. It's palettes like this that make my heart flutter.

Hope your weekend is as fabulous as you lady!

XoXo,
Fancy

One Dollah Make You Hollah!

Beauty doesn't always have to break the bank! I was cruising the aisles of Target (yes, I am a Target stalker) the other day when I walked by the Wet 'N Wild section in the beauty department. I started looking at some of their lipsticks (which are only .94 cents) when I pondered whether or not they were a total bust. In high school, the first red-red lipstick I ever wore was from Wet 'N Wild (Hot Red) and I was obsessed with it, in fact I still have a tube of it that I wear when I'm feeling nostalgic. So I decided to try another shade just for fun. I ended up with Sunset Peach 516C. Matte coral lipstick is much more in season this fall but a little bit of shimmer never hurt me. Especially with clear gloss over top.

So for all the lipstick scaredy-cats out there: just give it a TRY. What is there to lose? A dollar. 

You will recover, I swear.

What is everyone up to for Halloween this year? I'm throwing a party with my bestie on Saturday night and Sunday (Halloween) we are taking Jude trick-or-treating at a local shopping center. Then, my husband (Michael) and I will be those over-eccentric-weirdos who sit in the front of the house in chairs with a big bucket of candy and watch all the cute little kids have fun.

Sephora's Friends & Family Sale Begins Today!!!

 {Ya, my kid is cute.}

RUN do not walk. Well, the sale is online-only so I suppose I should say CLICK do not not-click? Wow, that is even lamer than it sounded in my head. What I am trying to say is...

ITS SEPHORA FRIENDS AND FAMILY SALE TIME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know a girl like myself wouldn't joke about something so serious. I mean, its like Christmas but no one from my side of the family gets arrested.

So what does this mean?! It means now through November 3rd 2010 your sweet-sale-loving-ass can click over to Sephora and get TWENTY percent off your order. In addition, if you order $50 or more you can (like usual) get FREE SHIPPING and THREE free samples per order.  

This comes at such a perfect time to stock up on Holiday Sets, gifts for others and of course, gifts for yourself! This is how the conversation just went with my husband:

Me: Hey Baaaaabbbeeeeeee?

Husband: Ya.

Me: Sephora is having their Friends & Family sale, which means an extra 20% off and they like NEVER do this and like I need some stuff and like it would be really cool if like (I say "like" a lot when nervous)....

Husband: That's fine.

Now is it clear why I adore this man?

We have decided Wednesday is now officially WORKOUT WEDNESDAY (Aren't we cute?!)! Of course, Wednesday is not the only day I workout, but it is fun knowing you are sharing goals with others. It has been just about six months now since I have committed myself to living a healthy lifestyle. I am really starting to notice the difference physically and the benefits emotionally are indescribable! 

Here is my Workout Wednesday Music Mix for this week!

Coral Crush

I wanted to share my newest (and current favorite) drugstore lipstick color! It is Maybelline's Color Sensational Lipstick in "Coral Crush". 

 I looked at it a few times before deciding to buy it BUT I couldn't get it out of my head, so the purchase was justifiable (Right?). Plus, it only cost me $5 at Target.

Here is a close up to give you a better idea of the shade:

 

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend! I had an incredible morning/afternoon doing (beautiful blushing bride) Ashleigh's makeup for her big day. 

I love weddings, I wish I could do makeup on brides everyday!!!
