Great Things Ahead...

In case you haven't noticed, I have a new widget to the right that isn't quite formatted to fit the column.  BUT  what's going on is very exciting!  I am going to start my own  nail polish business!  The indie cosmetics business is very tricky and quite competitive.  But after years of buying indie and watching businesses come and go, I've decided there's a better way.  There simply has to be.

My frustrations come from vendors that do not plan ahead, worry about supply/demand and have no idea how to handle the traffic and sales they generate when they have a big launch.  Oftentimes these businesses come out with so many new things at one time, I know that I cannot afford to get ALL the things I want, so I'm sure I'm not alone on that.  Then by the time I can afford to, they are gone forever or I have to wait an indefinite amount of time for a restock.  The system is flawed.  I want to create something different, with a totally different business model.

I have so many ideas!  But first there is some fundraising to be done.  I have to get supplies, packaging, bottles, shipping supplies, not to mention source the materials I want, look into names and trademarks.  It's pretty daunting and pretty scary.  So, I've started a GoFundMe page.  I have set in place some pretty nifty incentives.  I would appreciate it if you could take a look or pass it along and help spread the word.  If you could donate, that would be wonderful.  But times are tough, so I understand if you can't. Thank you so much for your time!

Deal Of The Day

Well, I hit up another Walgreens to see if they had the eyelashes I bough the other day on sale. Turns out they had them, but they weren't on sale. BUT, they did have these "Double Up" lashes on sale for $1.50! I had never seen these before, but they have two rows of lashes per eye! Pretty nifty!!

SauceBox Vs Sugarpill

I've been so excited since I came across SauceBox Cosmetics!  Their colors are bright, they are very affordable and they even give one of my favorite companies, Sugarpill, a run for their money!  Ever since I got my last order, I decided I needed to do some comparison swatches.  I knew it wouldn't be long before people started asking about it.  So here they are.

 As you can see they are quite similar.  I find SauceBox's Jungle green to

be more yellow and a lighter shade of green than Sugarpill's Midori.

Now, Oh La La was brighter and a smidge lighter than Dollipop.

 I found the blues to be apples and oranges.

I don't think any are substitutes for another.

But all of the colors are lovely.

 Now, the oranges.  I think SauceBox's Wildflower

is less pink/red than Sugarpill's Flamepoint.  It also

has a less chalky appearance on the skin.  

Her are two that are altogether different from Sugarpill.

Spy is a lovely, shimmery vanilla shade, great for 

highlighting the browbone and cheekbones. 

Killer is a mid-tone, warm gray and I love it.  

It's not blue-based and its very easy to use for

a smoky eye and NOT overdo it.

Now here's the price breakdown of each.  Sugarpill's single shadows are $12 each.  SauceBox Cosmetics' single shadows are $8 each.  A quad palette from Sugarpill is $34.  A quad palette from SauceBox is $26.  And a 6-pan palette from SauceBox is $35-$38.  While some things are not similar, other things are. And you know me, I am always looking for the best deal around.  I am quite happy with all of my shadows.  

Blooper Sale at SauceBox Cosmetics!!

You may have read my review on SauceBox Cosmetics a little while back.  If not, check it out HERE!

In any event, now is a FANTASTIC time to try SauceBox at a great price!  If you like the berry color scheme, then they have a palette for you called Forbidden Fruits!   It usually retails for $35.00.  But they've gotten a batch from the factory that has slight imperfections.  By that, I mean small scratches or smudges.  And because of this, they are selling them for only $20!!!

Find Of The Day!

I found these AWESOME Ardell lashes I've been wanting to try for $2.29 at Walgreens. They are on clearance, with orange tag and will no longer be available once they are gone!
