Come Sale Away- Part 2

 
Come Sale Away- Part 2
Where to shop for greats deals

(sorry it won't let me link this to the fashion page)
 
Okay, I guess I will let you in on some of my shopping secrets.  I do not like to spend a lot of money.  I will even try to find the "classics" or "staples" at a bargain price without sacrificing the quality.
 
 
 
 
This is one of my favorite sites.  You can get quality cosmetics for a fraction of the cost i.e. TOO FACE and WHITENING LIGHTENING cosmetics for up to 90% off!!!   Beauty gurus talk about these products but if you get them from their original site you will get sticker shock!! On Hautelook they sell out quick so sign up for free and get notifications via email for new sales.
 




 
 
 
Many think that Zulily is only for expecting mothers, NOT!!  You can find some many awesome finds on this site; shoes, dresses, scarves, makeup, hair tools, etc.  You can also find home decor and finds for the guy in your life. 
 

 
 $14.00!!


 
 $17.00!!

 $12.00!!
 
 
This is a new favorite for me!  You can find just about anything you want.  The shipping is so FAST!!  You can even access Nordstrom Rack from Hautelook's page just click the tab on the top of the page, EASY!!
 



 

 
LAST BUT NOT LEAST........ A NEW FIND OF MINE.....MAN, I REALLY WANTED TO KEEP IT A SECRET BUT, I GUESS I WILL SHARE (wink wink)
 
 
Groop Dealz will send you emails daily with a preview of what is on their site for sale.  You can get FREE SHIPPING and you know when the products will ship out.  I have made my first order and will update afterwards.  My package should arrive tomorrow!! They also have clothing, home decor, and goods for babies!!
 


 
 
I hope that you check out these sites and find yourselves a great deal =).  Name brands for less!!
Love,
Les

Fashion-Hair-Makeup

Tools of the Trade vol. 1

 I love makeup and watching makeup tutorials but let us be honest, I'm not going to pay $20 for a Mac brush when e.l.f. is less expensive.  E.l.f. can be found in Target and they have great basics to build your makeup collection as well as providing you with tools to practice new looks.  Here are some of my favorites.
 
Oh yeah!!! I forgot....who wants 50% off!!!!  If you get e.l.f. brushes take 50%  off when ordering $25 worth by 10/28. PROMO CODE "BRUSHES" !  ENJOY!!
 
FACE
 
Total Face Brush
e.l.f. Essential Total Face Brush- This brush is perfect for putting on setting powder and is only $1!!
 
 
Foundation Brush
e.l.f. Essential Foundation Brush- Although I do not use this for my foundation I do use it to put my concealer on under my eyes.  I first will put concealer on my finger, dab under my eye, and blend it in with this brush which is $1. 
 
 
 
Small Tapered Brush
e.l.f. Studio Small Tapered Brush- This brush is $3 and I use it to apply blush to the apples of my cheeks via the "smile" technique.  We have all done it, CHEEEESIN' for 2 min for blush =). 
 
 
Angled Blush Brush
e.l.f. Studio Angled Blush Brush- I use this $3 brush to contour and highlight.  If you want to give your face some dimension be sure to grab a bronzer a little darker than your complexion and place it under your cheek bones (upward motion with the "fishy" face).  Also place it on your temples for a slimming effect. 
 
EYES
 
Eye Shadow Brush
e.l.f. Essential Eye Shadow Brush- This brush is $1 and is my go to for when I want to pack a color on my lid.  To make that color POP, wet the brush just a little and with a patting motion place it on your eye.  A swiping motion will not allow the shadow to stay in place.
 
 
Blending Eye Brush
e.l.f. Essential Blending Eye Brush- IF YOU GET ANY BRUSH GET THIS ONE! I love this brush for blending in the crease.  If you are doing a smokey eye this brush is great for blending any hard edges and making it look professional.  I also use this brush for contouring on the sides of nose. =)
 
Eyelash & Brow Wand
e.l.f. Essential Eyelash & Brow Wand- Yes, the wand! Ladies, I have figured out that even if you don't style your eyebrows they are still the picture frame for the eyes so if you don't want to fill them in etc take a little hair spray and brush those brows it will look polished and put together. 
 
 
Both of these makeup looks were done with these brushes all under $3 ea!!

Fall Fashion 2013 Trends
 
I have a serious love for fall and an even more passionate love for fall fashion.  Here are a few of the trends that I'm digging right now and some of the pieces I have purchased that coincide with these trends.  I will include links as to where I purchased items and will do a look book if anyone is interested.  ENJOY! (Dresslink Haul).  
 
1. Open Cardigans-  I love this comfy trend and how it can be dressed up or down.  The tribal look is still in and I am so excited.  Forever21 Cardigan  ($24) the cardigan I purchased from Dresslink ($8.88)






     
    2. Flannel Shirts- Grab your school colors and wear this tailgating favorite.  Flannel shirts are casually cool with jeans but how cool are they with a black leather skirt and booties.  Go for it!  This J. Crew flannel is $89.50 while this Dresslink version is less than $10


     
    3. Leather touches- Pairing really soft and girly blouses with a leather skirt is a way to toughen up a look and still stay inside your comfort zone.  Loving the leather touches.  These leather shorts from Nasty Gal are $68 dollars while the skirt I purchased was $7.50 from Dresslink.  Don't have to spend a lot on trends.
     


     


     
    4. Black and White- There is something about black and white that is so effortlessly chic.  I grabbed a few pieces and I cannot wait to wear them with colored jeans or pencil skirts. 
    Francesca's has a great selection of this season's neutral look!  Check it out, great prices and sales too! Since this is a Dresslink haul, I got these tops for all under $8 ea.





     
     Polka dot blouse
     
    5. Last but not least, statement accessories- Chunky  necklaces, infinity scarves, bold bracelets, colored clutches........oh my, it's endless! I got mine all for under $5!!
     
     
     
     
     
     
    That is it for now.  If you have any questions please leave a comment below.  I am overall satisfied with my Dresslink haul and the first time you order with them you get 20% off your total. 
     
    Hope you enjoyed!!
