September Beauty Haul | High & Low End Brands & Memebox

Hello!  September has been an awesome month for me and I hope it was for you too. :)   *takes deep a breath*  Once October starts, it's only going to be three more months until my birthday and Christmas!  I'm already feeling the Christmas spirt.  Haha.  （・∀・）

Arrgg!!!  All of these new releases, sales, and gift sets from cosmetic stores and brands are killing me!  I've gone crazy.  Not really.  Maybe a little....  Ulta was having their 21 days of beauty and then Macy's started their beauty scene event.  (-__-)  Those two stores really know how to take my money.  This whole month I've made multiple trips to Macy's and Ulta, just like every other month.  Haha.  This is what happens when you live within five miles to commercial areas.  (>_<)

Okay, let's get into the products.  *Sorry for the bad lighting.*

Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator - A Macy's Exclusive
Retails for $28
I got one out of the four shades available.  I decided to go with So Hollywood, a gold shimmer highlight that will match every skin tone.  I'm sooo tempted to go get more!!!  It's sooo purrrdy!  I want to go back and get starlight, which is a shear white shimmer that will also match any skin tone.  But I keep asking myself, "Do I really need it?"  YES!  It's limited Edition!  Haha.  . . . .   I hate myself. -_-

Stylenanda 3CE Waterful Foundation Nude Beige & Cream Blusher Baby Peach Review

Bonjour mon amies!  ( ^o^ )/  Aujourd'hui est un compte rendu... okay I'll stop.  I took French for two years and I suck so I'll stop.  >.<  (but I hope to continue!)  Anyways, hello.  Today is a review on the long awaited Stylenanda's 3CE Glossing Waterful Foundation in Nude Beige and Cream Blusher in Baby Peach.

If you don't know what 3CE is, you're crazy and not into Korean Cosmetics.  But that's why you have me to explain and get you addicted. :)  HAHAHA.  3CE stands for 3 Concept Eyes and is Stylenanda's cosmetic line.  They started off as a fashion store in Korea and started to expand big time.  They released their cosmetic line in 2009 and it was a PRETTY BIG hit.  Their things are a bit expensive but if you compare it to other brands it's not that bad...? :/

Here's a bit of a description of their 3CE brand:

"3 CONCEPT EYES makes fashionable ladies shine with three kinds of attractive eyes; pink, orange, and beige.  Any one can experience a special make over with the various spectrum of modern colors about creative unique impression."

They do have a site in English! (yay!)  Shipping is $20 and I know I do not want to pay for that.  (-__-)  I could of bought another lipstick from them!  Haha.  But for orders over $100, shipping is only $10 for USA orders (depends on where you live).  I bought these two products from yesstyle but they no longer have these products on their site.  BUT guess what.  One of my favorite sites, Memebox has it on their site ON SALE.  The Waterful Foundation is usually listed $30-40 on other sites but it's on sale for $25!  It's not going to get any cheaper so I highly recommend you get it there.  (Oh my gah, Memebox is killing me.  They released a value set featuring 3CE lip lacquer in Dahlia.  Totally worth it).  They also offer free shipping over $30.

**By the way these products are authentic.  Please be very careful to not buy fakes on ebay or any wholesale sites.  If the price is too good to be true, it's most likely a fake.  Trust me, I bought fake 3CE lip pigments once.  Gosh, I was naive (still kind of am). /sigh.**
