A SWEET TIP...

Hey guys!!

Heres another good tip for all you make up lovers!!

The next time you go to MAC,

instead of buying a separate empty palette why not get it from starsmakeuphaven.com!!

They offer empty palettes that hold varying amounts (26mm)...

these fit MAC eye shadow pots, Urban Decay, Milani, and other brands of shadows.

They even have a 28 pot palette! This was seriously my dream come true...

Why carry multiple 15 pot palettes

when you can stick all your pots into one or two 28 potters!!

They have the standard 15 - 26 mm pot, 28 - 26 mm pot, and 8 blush pot palettes.

Not to mention that they're affordable!

How can you go wrong! This palette pictured here is $13.95. Thats our goal here, right folks? Beauty on a budget!!

A SWEET TIP...

A fantastic substitute for MAC make up remover wipes....

BELIEVE it OR NOT!!!

kirkland brand (Costco) facial wipes...

can you believe it? NO? thats ok...

I didnt either till i tried it!

Trust me. It works wonders and it smells good too!

-cheaper! about $10 for 150 wipes (pretty good ya!)

-convenient! you'll be at Costco anyways so why not just pick up a pack of wipes while you're at it?

So next time you're at Costco, make your mom and dad proud and pick up a costco brand make up remover instead of spending 3x as much somewhere else!!

Coastal Scents

COASTAL SCENTS!!!

So far i've been a MAC girl to the end, but coastal scents is leaving me questioning my loyalty. The colors are gorgeous!! The texture is perfect!! not the mention that the prices are to DIE FOR!!! Its hard to keep up with MACs newest products when you're on a budget, but coastal scents makes makeup affordable for a college-going-girl like myself. check it out...

They have an 88 palette thats pretty cool. I've been watching some tutorials on youtube and people seem to be liking them. My palette is in the mail but I'll swatch some when I get it!! :D

The 88 palette comes in matte or shimmer, I like the shimmer but it might be a little too "much" for some people...heres the matte 88 palette. DOESNT IT JUST MAKE YOU SMILE!!!

EEEEK i cant wait!!
