Shop the Holiday Collections at Holiday Makeup

Awhile back, I created Holiday Makeup as a way to provide information and shopping links for the holiday makeup collections all in one place. If you visited when I first posted about it, there likely wasn’t much there, but now it is a full blown site.

On Holiday Makeup, you can browse limited edition collections by brand, view gifts by categories, and shop all from one location. So whether you are looking for holiday makeup for yourself or are shopping for others, stop by and take a look!

We Have Joined The Open Sky Project!

I am very pleased to announce that Beauty and Fashion Tech and Girl Gloss have joined OpenSky as a shopkeeper!

OpenSky connects readers and shoppers with experts and the products they love and use. At OpenSky, you can browse the shops of experts in fields such as beauty, cooking, gardening, health and fitness, fishing, and more. These expert “shopkeepers” recommend and stock their favorite items—items that they can stand behind because they truly love and highly recommend them. So, you as a shopper can avoid wading through the junk and find the gems by browsing the OpenSky shops. It is a great concept and I am very excited to become part of it.

Shopping at OpenSky is also a great experience. Many shopkeepers provide additional reviews and information about the items they stock and some provide video demonstrations of the products. There are various free shipping promotions, returns are easy, and you can trust that every product is there because it is special to the shopkeeper. I have already been eyeing the shops there myself, especially in the food and garden sections. There are some really neat items there!

My focus with my OpenSky shop is to provide my absolute favorite products and items that are unique and interesting. There won’t be the everyday drugstore lip gloss there, instead, I’ll offer you something like my all time favorite tube gloss, Murad Pomegranate Energizing Lip Gloss SPF 15, or my go-to fragrance Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash, which you can’t find grab at the nearest store.

Open Sky is a fun site and it it provide a unique shopping experience. Please come and check it out! You can view my own shop here: Beauty and Fashion Tech on OpenSky.

Gifts for the Lip Product Lover

Here are a variety of lip product and lip makeup gift suggestions. There is something here for everyone!

For an inexpensive gift, go to where cosmetics are affordable– $1 each for most products! The Elf Cosmetics Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF Box Set of 5 is $5.

Burjois makes great gloss, so the Limited Edition Holiday Soiree Lips is a great value at $19.50 (it is worth $45).

I recently tried and loved Pur Minerals Smile, Pout & Kiss Lip Gloss Trio . These glosses have great pigment to them. This is another $45 value for $25 at Ulta.

Tarte Lips Ahoy is a cute set of Tarte lipgloss minis. $30

I love the shades in the Smashbox Lip Brilliance palette. Look at Smashbox in general for some great makeup and cosmetics gifts. $28

M.A.C. lipglasses are always great gifts. Pick up one of the Little Darlings Collections, complete with its own pretty gift tube.

Black Friday Beauty Shopping

Looking for some beauty gifts while out and about on Friday after Thanksgiving? Here are a few ideas:

* Walgreens has a great selection of affordable beauty and fragrance kits in the beauty department. For example, I spotted a Jane Cosmetics mineral makeup kit that looked great and was very affordable.

* Target also carries many home spa and beauty kits. Pick up a bath and body kit and pair it with a fluffy robe for a great holiday gift!

* At the mall, don’t overlook Sephora, the MAC Cosmetics Store and the cosmetic counters in the department stores for holiday specials.

* Need stocking stuffers? Look for nail polish, lip balm, mini perfume bottles (target sells a bunch of those in popular fragrances), and various sample size items. Many companies sell trial size kits that can be broken up into a couple of different stockings (great for the Mom and teenage daughters in your life).

Happy shopping!
