Review: Inglot Freedom System Square Eyeshadows

Unless you're totally new to beauty blogs, you've probably heard all of the raves about the Polish cosmetics brand Inglot and, specifically, their eyeshadows. I've been wanting to try their shadows for a long time, and when I posted about that 20% off sale at the beginning of August (sorry, it's now over), I finally caved and made my first order via the Inglot website. 

Unless you're lucky enough to live near an Inglot boutique or counter, you might have a hard time trying to navigate through their extensive selection of eyeshadow colors and finishes (I just realized while writing this post that there is in fact an Inglot counter in San Diego, at the Macy's in Fashion Valley--how I missed that I will never know!). It was incredibly difficult for me to narrow down my first order and I actually ordered three additional shades not featured in this review (early Christmas gifts for friends).

(retail: $6 each, 2.7 grams for Pearl shadows, 2.3 grams for Matte shadows)

HOT beauty deals (65-70% off beauty products, free shipping offers & free polish can be yours!)

I know I sound like a broken record, but if you haven't been checking the You Tell Me page lately, you're really missing out on some fantastic deals and tips from readers. The link to the You Tell Me page is located on the upper menu bar above, and I highly recommend checking the comments every time you visit this blog. I often can't post *all* of the deals that are submitted to me, and this is a great way to ensure you don't miss a thing when it comes to beauty on a budget.

That said, here's a round-up of some must-see deals submitted by readers in the past 24 hours:

• Readers Stephanie and DC gave us the heads-up that Sephora just added lots of new clearance items to their sale page, including some items 65% off. Tokidoki eyeshadow palettes for $3, The Body Shop body washes for $5, a set of 3 full-size UPDDs for $22, and much more. Click here to view everything that's on sale. And remember to always check here for Sephora coupon codes before placing online orders (there's a free shipping code good on all orders for VIBs only that ends tomorrow, 8/31!).

• Reader Annette let us know about the Too Faced Vintage Sale going on NOW.

Too Faced Cosmetics: Save Up To 70% - Vintage Sale (ends 9/6/12)

*Free Deluxe Shadow Insurance with any purchase; use code INSUREME No other offers or promotions are valid during this sale.
*A "vintage sale special offer" showed up in my cart. I have no idea what it is, since the email made no mention of it.
*The site is extremely slow (right now) and I got a few errors, before finally reaching the checkout page.
*They don't have a shipping schedule listed, but when I put in a $10 palette, I got these prices:
(1) = $5.90
(5) = $9.45

• Reader NaturalBeauty26 let us know about a great UNII Palette deal. 

NaturalBeauty26 writes:

I was doing some looking around on SneeqPeeq and found that UNII palettes were on sale for ten dollars off normal price ($29). I also used my $10 credit for being a new member and scored a UNII palette for $10!!! The sale goes though September 4th if anyone else is interested!

Want more info about UNII Palettes? Check out NaturalBeauty26's blog post here.

• And last but not least: How does a free Avon nail polish with free shipping sound? Annette shared with us that there's a new free shipping code (no minimum order) for Avon: enter LDSHIP at checkout (valid through 9/4). And if you use ShopAtHome, you can get a free Nail Wear Pro+ nail polish as part of their "Wild Cash Back" offer today only (8/30).

UPDATE: If you're planning on taking advantage of the free Avon polish deal today, check out Lacquer Lover's post here for some great swatches if you're having a hard time deciding on a color.

UPDATE 2:  For the Avon deal, you'll have to pay the $3.49 out of pocket, and then the full $3.49 will be reimbursed into your ShopAtHome account within 30 days. If you are not already a ShopAtHome member, ShopAtHome sends you your refund checks once you hit $20 in your account. 

Thanks so much to Stephanie, DC, Annette and NaturalBeauty26 for the fantastic info! And as always, thanks to everyone who contributes to the You Tell Me page--it's such a great resource for all of us and I cannot thank you enough to taking the time to share you info with us.

Spotted: more Halloween 2012 displays

Please note: due to the high volume of submitted photos, I apologize that I cannot feature every submitted photo in these posts. If you have submitted photos of any of these products and you don't see your photos here, I am so sorry--I try to be as fair as possible and, if I receive multiple submissions, I try to use the first photos that I received (or I use my own photos if I've taken them before I receive submissions). Thank you so much for your understanding and I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to share product info here--it helps us all out so much and I wish I could run every single pic that I receive!

Continuing my coverage of Halloween 2012, I bring you lots of new, fun goodies, and a return of some old favorites. (If you'd like to see my other Halloween 2012 posts, just enter "Halloween 2012" into the search bar above, and the first four posts that come up include everything I've covered to date for Halloween 2012.

Reader Abi spotted lots of Halloween displays at her local Rite Aid and was nice enough to share:

Review: Black Radiance Artisan Color Baked Blush in Raspberry

If you're new to this blog, you might not know that I'm a huge, longtime fan of Black Radiance (owned by Markwins, makers of Wet n Wild). You can select the Black Radiance category on the right-hand sidebar to see all of my past reviews, if you'd like to see some of my favorites and Holy Grails from this line. 

Black Radiance products can be a little tricky to find (not all Rite Aid, CVS and Walgreens locations carry the line) but they're also in select Walmarts (and Kmarts too, I believe). You can also purchase most (but not all) Black Radiance products from Walgreens.com and Drugstore.com if you can't find them in your area.

Review: Fing'rs Flirt Nail Bling 3D Stick-On Designs

I picked up one of the new Fing'rs Flirt Nail Bling sets at Rite Aid about a month ago for around $1.99. I've always been interested in 3D nail art but not really caviar nails or any design that severely protrudes from the nail (I love the look, but it's just not practical for me personally). So I figured, for two bucks, why not give these stickers a try?

FREE OCC Lip Tar with any $10 purchase at Beauty.com (hurry!)

Queen

  Harlot

I just tested this offer a second ago and it's still available, so HURRY if you want one of they're gone:

A huge thanks to reader Lindsay for the heads up that right now on beauty.com, just put at least $10 worth of product (any brand) in your cart and, at checkout, you can enter either "harlot" or "queen" (depending on which shade you want) to get a FREE OCC Lip Tar ($15 value). This offer expires on 9/12 or while supplies last, so again, HURRY if you want one. I have a feeling this will probably go pretty quickly.

There is no special link that you need to follow to take advantage of this offer, so just go to beauty.com and it should work (unless they run about by the time you read this, of course).

Thanks so much, Lindsay, for the heads-up!
