Extreme Sephora BI Loophole + B&BW freebie

Thanks to NouveauCheap and this post I was able to utilize the Beauty Insiders giftcard (which is supposed to be $15 off of $40) without a minimum order!

*EDIT* This offer only seems to work for Sephora users in the US, Canadians don't have the offer of doing it online :(

PLUS PLUS I used my Ebates (thats a referral link by the way) with it too (which gave me 6% cashback which in reality wasn't that much but it's the thought that counts!)

I ordered this L'Occitane $10 mini hand cream that my sister and mom liked and used my giftcard.

The hand cream in question.

I then got 3 complementary samples AND used a coupon code for a deluxe sample of the Kat Von D eye primer. All in all? It cost me 1.83. Of course that wasn't the only deal I got today.

I also got these two Bath and Body Works hand sanitizers for free! Use this coupon (Tomorrow is the last day) and you can get one of the five different reindeer hand sanitizers. My boyfriend used one coupon and I used the other.

Apple Mint is just that, an apple-y mint. Sweet Mint kind of reminds me of a candy sort of mint.

There's also a Cocoa Mint available and yuck that smelled awful! If you've ever used Lush's Cupcake face mask then you'll know the scent of the Cocoa Mint.

Nutcracker Series: Russian Candy Cane

Last call for entering my giveaway :)

I'm not planning on posting every day in the month of December but it is starting to seem that way

Anyway, this is a super basic not too creative look. In the Nutcracker the Russian divertissement typically represents Candy Canes and it gave me an excuse to use Sugarpill's Love+ :)
Also, it's really hard to keep red off of white, they're just destined to blend together to make pink -_-

You could wear this out if you wanted to but I think I won't, haha

Nutcracker Series: Arabian Coffee

*One more day before my giveaway ends!*

Now there are a lot of variations on the costume for the Arabian (my old dance studio had Purple and Gold) but I saw this gorgeous costume from San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker and it so reminded me of Sugarpill's Darling eyeshadow.

So I didn't think Darling would work well with Pixie Epoxy because it is fairly matte but damn it worked fabulous! It made it so you could actually see the sparkles so I say use Pixie Epoxy in conjunction with it.

Darling is a lot greener in person than it is in the picture, it looks really blue-tinged for some reason.

Nutcracker Series: Sugar Plum Fairy

:') I just noticed that I went over 100 followers. I love you guys and I really hope that you keep reading and commenting!

I'm not sure if many of you know that I used to be a ballet dancer and as such during the Wintertime there is always a production of The Nutcracker. I wanted to try a new look series to do to get me through the month of December creatively so I decided to do looks based off of The Nutcracker characters and their costumes!

This is one of the more universal of costumes/colors associated with the Sugar Plum Fairy so thus the use of pink and silver.

I'm not sure if it's obvious but I put a bit of silver pigment on the lower lashes too!
