Frugal Snob: Sephora Collection Prisma Chrome Eyeshadow

A few months ago Estee Lauder launched some Pure Color eye shadows ($24) that look very similar to the limited edition ones that just came out from Sephora Collection($15). I’ve tried and liked both of them though it’s worth noting that while Estee Lauder’s shades come with a brush, they’re nearly $10 more expensive making … Continue reading “Frugal Snob: Sephora Collection Prisma Chrome Eyeshadow”

Frugal Snob: Disney’s Limited Edition Tinkerbell-Themed PixiGlow Collection

Pixi and I go waaaay back as it was one of the first brands I consistently bought when I was in High School. I first discovered it at Henri Bendel, but about a year into my obsession they discontinued the range and Sephora picked it up.

Sephora Collection Mega Value Sets

Sephora always goes all out for the holidays. Not only are their stores stocked with countless exclusives from the likes of Fresh, Philosophy, and LORAC, but their own line, Sephora Collection, offers up amazing deals. I can’t imagine what my boyfriend would say if I came home with Makeup Studio Blockbuster($49.50), given that I already … Continue reading “Sephora Collection Mega Value Sets”
