NARS Opening Up On Melrose

We Have a NARS store opening up on Melrose! I'm going to have to pay a visit this friday since it's pay day! I'm thinking of buying the mascara since everyone has one and I don't :(
 
Francois Nars is the founder of NARS Cosmetics. He is a make-up artist and fashion photographer. Over the next three years Nars plans on opening up three more stores in San Francisco ,Chicago and a second store in New York.

Francois wants to have his most favorite movies play as a background projected against the store so when you pass by you'll see some vintage films like Italian, German and Hollywood.
I can't wait to visit  the NARS boutique
The unique thing about his new location is that it will have the same mix as the New York boutique such as the Self Portrait Palettes and the aforementioned fuchsia lip pencil and it will also have a specific product that will be more personal to the Melrose address.


Be sure to visit my blog this coming week for up-dates on the NARS boutique. ttyl!

$20 Make-Up Challenge Selena Gomez

I'm going to take on the $20 challenge and do a Selena Gomez look from her photo shoot on Teen Vogue Sept.2012 I found this challenge fun because I put my couponing skills to the test. I went to Target and CVS for my make-up. I tried to pick out items that I don't have because I hate not using them.

At Target I got only e.l.f products and my bill came out to $7.65 I got two brushes one for eyes and the other for powder. I got mascara some lashes and liquid eye liner. The mascara was $3 and the rest were a $1 each.

For my CVS trip I did two transactions.

1st.transaction

baby lips $3.99 and Maybeline quad in chai latte $7.99

I had a $1off coupon for my baby lips and $8 rewards from a previous trip I did to CVS. The savings for this week at CVS is spend $10 on Maybeline products and get $3 rewards. So my first transaction came out to $2.98 plus taxes $1.11=$4.09 saving me $9 and getting $3rewards for my next transaction



2nd.transaction

I bought two Wet n Wild nail polishes each at .99cents and

Revlon Photoready sculping blush pallete $10 on sale

I had $1 coupon on Wet n Wild nail polishes making them .50each

and $5 coupon for any face product Revlon making it only $5

and since I got $3 rewards from my first transaction I used it towards paying my 2nd transaction making it $2.98 plus taxes $1.11 = $4.09 saving me $11.99

My total for this challenge came to be only $15.83
