The Jr. Masala has inherited my obsession for eyeshadows and after eyeing the above palette for a week, she finally caved and picked it up today.  The palette is part of the holiday displays at Walgreens and is by a brand called Profusion.  There are 120 absolutely gorgeous shadows in this palette and also a full-sized mirror.  The picture above does no justice in showing how pigmented and shimmery these shadows are.  They’re buttery-soft to the touch and glide onto skin with no chalky feeling (as seen in many holiday makeup sets).  The “Ultimate Blockbuster” set retails for $9.99 at Walgreens.

I love everything Chloe and Jane has to offer and if you haven’t tried them, now is your chance!  From now through October 31st, enjoy 50% off all products in celebration of Halloween.  If you’re new to Chloe and Jane, let me recommend their body scrubs and any product in my favorite scent, First Bloom.  The Travel Kits will make excellent Christmas gifts, as will the Sampler Kits.  Remember to use code scary2009 at checkout!

Rimmel has released yet another mascara and the packaging is so SUPER-GROOVY! 

Does this not scream 1960’s British Mod??  The Jr. Masala and I have never met a Rimmel mascara we didn’t like and this newest release is no exception.  The extra-thick brush plumps lashes in one coat and adds extreme length with no clumping.  I was only able to find this mascara at Walgreen’s (retails for $6.99), but it should be available at more locations soon!

Send your favorite guy or ghoul (sorry, I couldn’t resist), a Carmex Kiss of Death this Halloween!  When you upload your favorite photo to the site, Carmex attaches an animated set of vampire lips, complete with cool sound effects.  You can also create your own message to go along with the kiss or Carmex has cute messages ready for you to choose from. 

Carmex has recently branched out from their cult-classic jar formula and has added a squeezable tube form and click-sticks.  I recently spotted Strawberry Carmex at my local Walgreens along with the new Carmex Moisture Plus, which infuses lips with ultra-moisture.  Keep lips healthy and kissably soft year-round, with a total of 10 affordable products from Carmex.

I’ve wanted to try the Sally Hansen HD Nail Polish for the longest, but I honestly cannot justify paying $6 for drugstore polishes.  Walgreens was putting out their holiday displays today and among all the goodies, I found the collection shown above for $4.99!  From left to right: Digital, Lite, Pixel Pretty, Hi-Def, Cyber.  There are 3 different sets available, perfect for stocking-stuffers or treating yourself!

The time for planning those Christmas gift purchases is now!  Crabtree & Evelyn will soon launch their 2009 Holiday Collection and the scents of Pomegranate, Citron & Mistletoe, Vanilla, Amber & Woods and Orange, Nutmeg & Cinnamon, will add a touch of festive glamour to your holiday gift-giving.  Each holiday scent is available in several variations including, bath soaps, body lotions, hand soaps and washes.  The 2009 Holiday Collection also includes fragrances for the home; Windsor Forest (fir, pine and balsam, with a hint of holly) and Noel (cranberry, orange, fir and spices).  Crabtree & Evelyn has something for everyone on your list and don’t forget to take a moment to pamper yourself this holiday season.
