beautybonusLeave a comment

Too Faced is now selling these cool Design Your Own Palettes. You can customize the case for the palette with a pretty background and custom text, they are so cute and only $35! See their site for more details (below is the picture of the palette I designed). You make choices for your palette from the following:

  • Pappa Don’t Peach Blush, Pinch My Petals Pink Blush, or Sun Bunny Duo Bronzer
  • One of five eyeshadow duo shades
  • Your choice of a mini Lash Injection Mascara, Mirror Mirror Lip Gloss (choice of 4 shades), Shadow Insurance eyeshadow primer, or Starry Eyed Liquid Eye Liner (choice of 3 shades)

And have you guys heard of the Beauty Fix sampling program? If you’ve been reading a while you know how much I love the New Beauty Test Tube program, well apparently this program is similar in theme (though a tad more expensive) whereby about four times a year you get to sample new beauty products for a fraction of the cost. I found out about this program yesterday from the gals who run In The Makeup (you can also see their full blog here). I’ve signed up and will report back in a few weeks when I get my first shipment, and let you know what I got and maybe you’ll want to sign up too!
