Urban Decay Cosmetics: Biggest Sale of the Year

If you've been reading about my life with Brooke (the best daughter I could EVER ask for - even at almost 17yrs old) then you know that Brooke LOVES LOVES LOVES Urban Decay Makeup. This stuff almost NEVER goes on sale (except the occassional sale they run on HauteLook).

Right now Urban Decay is running what they call the "Biggest Sale of the Year" on their own website! Many of their vintage $17 eyeshadows are marked down to $9 (click on the eyeshadow link under the and it will show you all of the colors that are on sale). Also on markdown are mascaras for $5, Cream Highlighter for $4, and much more. Hurry to get yours before it is all gone!

HauteLook: Mirabella Cosmetics, Beeposh by Melissa & Dough

I love finding great deals on cosmetics (and so does Brooke, lol)! Mirabella is one of Brooke's newest favorites. I am not sure which salons you can purchase it from in the Memphis area, but I'm fairly certain you cannot get it anywhere except at a salon. Brooke gets it at State Beauty (a store for licensed beauticians and cosmotology students). If you like Mirabella costmetics - or just love getting a great deal on makeup then you'll be happy to know that today HauteLook is selling Mirabella at a nice discounted price. The sale starts at 10am - so get ready!

If you do not already have a HauteLook account, it is free - but you must have one in order to view the sales on HauteLook. It's completely worth it - Brooke and I get makeup from HauteLook all the time. And there is much more than makeup on HauteLook. You can find awesome clothes for children and adults up to 90% off as well as many other items like shoes, housewares, decor... Right now I'm also loving the Beeposh by Melissa & Doug sale! TOO CUTE!
