Spotted! | LORAC Skinny Palette

If you've been watching Jen Form Head to Toe then you have seen her rave about the LORAC Skinny Palette that she found at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale a month or so back. Since then, it has been unavailable on the Nordstrom website.


To me, it seemed like a great deal that was a once in a lifetime offer but I found it! It's on Hautelook right now for $15! And there are three different shade selections! There is nude version Jen talks about as well as plum and navy! (The LORAC site and Amazon have the palette in navy and nude but not plum.)


The Hautelook website says that the palettes are originally $133 which sounds ridiculous but I wouldn't worry about that. I don't know if these palettes are limited edition so I would jump on this deal. The website says the event ends on 9/5/14 at 8am Pacific but there are limited quantities and items this hot tend to sell out quickly.

Just some info and tips in case you haven't used Hautelook before:
Hautelook is run through Nordstrom Rack. It's not some random site so don't worry.
They have these limited time deals called "Events" where they sell items at reduced rates.
You have to have an account to look at events.
There are always great makeup and clothing deals.
They also sell stuff for babies, men, and home.
You can buy things from different events at once but they might ship separately
They only allow you to keep things in your shopping cart for 15 minutes so you have to work fast.
Free delivery is given after you spend $100
Delivery usually takes 2-3 weeks.
You can return items to Nordstrom Rack.
Make an account to be notified daily about events.

Here is my referral link if you want to use it. There is no Ebates for this site but make sure to use coupon codes if you can find them.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you can take advantage of this deal either on Hautelook or at Amazon or the LORAC site! ~ Alissa

Better Habits | Makeup Organization/Storage Doesn't Have To Be Expensive

So today I was snooping around Marshalls and I saw a bunch of makeup storage options. I love stores like Marshalls because they have great home goods for really good prices. In this post I'll just show some pictures of what I saw and how they could help you in storing your makeup. Enjoy!


First off, I saw this whole section of acrylic storage. This is the biggest selection I have ever seen in store. If I hadn't already ordered similar products online, I would have taken advantage of these awesome deals. From what I saw, these ranged from around $9 to around $25. They had a lot of lipstick storage available; I also saw a lot of brush storage too. With acrylic storage, you can put anything you want, so be creative.


I also saw a bunch of these cool spinning storage containers. Think this would be great for brushes, palettes, eyeliners, foundations, etc. I would put this on my vanity and put my everyday makeup on it that I reach for most often. 


One of the coolest things I saw was this hair styling tools storage. Depending on how much hair products you have you could also put other skin care and other stuff in this container. 

I also recommend that you check out their glassware and ceramics sections. There are some really cute glasses to store brushes and some adorable tiered ceramics to display nail polish. Of course, be creative and store what you heart desires.

While you're there don't ignore their beauty section! You might find some diamonds in the rough.

I guess my point is that you don't have to spend tons of money on items to store the makeup you already spend tons of money on! Hit up a TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or any other discount store to find some awesomely inexpensive ways to store your goods. Happy Hunting! ~ Alissa
