Friday with a Side of Beauty

Cheers to Friday! Speaking of, it's been a while since I've shown up here on a Friday. My work weeks have been insanely busy, but I still couldn't be happier.
Since Polyvore decided to sell out, and the site that bought them out not only doesn't offer product collages but has deleted ALL previous content my non-tech-savy self has no way to create pretty collages of fun fashion, beauty, and home decor items anymore. Yes, you read that correctly - any collage you made in the past with Polyvore is now G-O-N-E. I have a lot of empty posts now, and I'm not happy about it. If you know of an easy-to-use and shall I mention free site that can do what Polyvore used to, please share the love.

Ok rant over... and almost as obnoxious as all the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale posts in July (ok that's just impossible), today is all about the Sephora Spring Bonus Event for Beauty Insiders. Lucky Rouge-ers had early access to the sale, but VIB's and BI's were granted access today for 10-15% off everything.


My Sephora Spring Bonus Event Picks

NARSissist Wanted Cheek Palette - I got an email the other day featuring this limited edition palette, and can't get over how pretty it is. The range of shimmery pinks to matte lavenders and corals for buildable coverage is begging me to add to my cart.

UD Primer Potion - one of my holy grail products. It's a total game changer keeping my eye makeup in place all day and all night. No oily creases, no cracking, and staying fresh for hours.

Wonderlust Perfume - I got this for Christmas, and it just smells like vacation in a bottle. Perfect to ring in spring and summer.

Drybar Lemon Drop - I've raved about this brush the past few years, and just recently replaced it I love it that much. Great de-tangler without breaking my strands.

Scrub n' Mask - I stumbled upon this double duty exfoliating scrub and detoxifying treatment mask, and it'll be great to combat skin dullness. The fact that it's an ode to Rio is just a huge bonus.

Bath Bomba - another fabulous find from the Sol de Janeiro line because who doesn't love a relaxing bath and a glass of wine? Bonus points that it's made without gluten, animal by-products, propylene glycol, synthetic colors, or petrolatum, and is cruelty free.

Lip Pencils - When I remember to wear a fun lippie, these NARS lip pencils are some of my favorites! They glide on so easily, and are convenient to take on the go.

Light Chaser Highlighter - Becca highlighters are the best. What's even better? Becca highlighters on sale before the 10-15% off discount. You're welcome.

Makeup Bag - With my love of travel, I need something cute to throw my essentials in. This bag is truth.

Clarisonic Replacement Brush Head - I always put this on the back burner because it's a "boring purchase" compared to the other pretties waiting patiently on my wish list, but it's a necessity. I've had my Clarisonic Mia since late 2010, and it's still going strong. Best investment ever!

Don't forget to check out the sale section of the site, nothing beats a discount on already reduced sale items. Happy Shopping!

  9. I discovered that Polyvore was gone this week. I had a ton of outfits on there too. I tried to find a similar site but no luck. Let me know if you find one though. I guess I am just going to have to really make the effort to take outfit photos on nice days haha. Anyways!! Love all things NARS and that makeup bag is so cute. Have a great day and enjoy your weekend too. :-)

  10. I was debating about getting one of the Becca highlighters because I love Champagne Pop so much. And those Nars lip pencils are the best! Happy Friday and happy shopping!

  13. I cannot get over that cheek palette, those colors are so pretty for Spring! Thanks for sharing the highlighter, too! I am in need of a good one because I feel like the one I have is almost impossible to blend in! Happy Friday to you & hope you enjoy your weekend <3

  14. I am obsessed with the Sol de Janeiro line!!! I have a sample of that perfume from MK and thought about getting a full size when it runs out. Oh man, that is a good buy on that highlighter!!!! I had been wanting to try that brand for awhile. Why do you do this to me????? I was already decided that I wasn't spending a penny. Now I am adding crap to my bag. Ugh!!! Haha! Have a great weekend!

  16. That stinks about Polyvore. I think I made a few from them too. I need some clarisonic replacement heads so I'll need to check them out. I hope you have a great weekend! Sierra~Beautifully Candid

  18. How excited am I today that I never used Polyvore..ha! Can you believe I have also never shopped Ulta?! Craziness Happy Friday!

  19. Yes, made my purchases this morning and love the SDJ line, might have to check out the bath bomb. Stinks about Polyvore I used to love that back in the day. Gimp is a free program similar to Photoshop, but nothing is probably as easy as the search and drag they had on Polyvore. Going to be lots of saving images, ugh! Hope you have a fabulous weekend!

  20. So many great makeup finds. Happy weekend!

  21. How frustrating about Polyvore! I've heard a lot of bloggers upset with it. Have you looked at Canva? It's free and you can do so much with it!

    Hope you had a wonderful weekend and you had fun shopping the sale! Our weather wasn't as bad as predicted so we got to spend some time outside and by the pool which was awesome. :)

  23. I had no idea that Polyvore did that. Soooo many of my posts have those in them too. Not cool. Loving all the items you picked out though.

  24. I heard about Polyvore. It's so not cool that it happened without notice.

  26. Ohhh- that Polyvore business SUCKS! How frustrating! I hope you find something to replace it- I use PicMonkey; they have a collage feature. Not as easy as Polyvore, but it gets the job done!
