The Vanity: My Favorite Beauty Products From Sephora's Friends and Family Event

Sephora Must HavesIf you count yourself as a die-hard beauty buff,  Sephora's Friends and Family Sale is one of the highlights of your year, right? This special sale started last Thursday, October 20 and is live until November 2, 2011 (at 11:59 PM PST/PDT). If you haven't already, visit sephora.com/friends, type in your email and get your special promo code to receive 20% off your online purchase.

I meant to have this shopping guide up earlier (two weeks ago like a good little beauty editor) but I realized I had to create multiple lists---a list of products that I actually tried and loved and lists of beauty products that I've been lusting after. Check out my favorites below from Marc Jacobs, Illamasqua, Caudalie, Bobbi Brown, Bliss and NARS:

And now for the fun part--- my birthday is coming up soon and seeing as Sephora's sale ends on November 2, I should spoiled myself for the occassion, right? Right! However, it's long and we all know how long-winded I can be at times so I thought instead of cramming all of the products that I wanted in one post, I could do a mini-series of products on my lust list! It'll definintely be sporadic but I'll try to post everything that I've had my eye on.

In the meantime, what have you bought? If you haven't bought anything yet, what are you planning to buy?

The Vanity: How to Score Goodies from Bliss, Korres and Tarte for $10

Beautyfix babes scored a blissful treat in the third installment: Bliss The Youth as We Know It Concentrate ($70). If you tried this product or any other products from the Bliss line, than you know that this brand is amazing! Although I have one product in my possession (the concentrate), it's my go-to product for when I want my skin to glow naturally. For a limited time, get the Bliss The Youth as We Know It to Go for $10.

Of all the Korres products I've tested this year, a clear winner for me is the Lip Butter in Jasmine ($9), a sheer, neutral pink. This product also doubles as a cheek stain, providing a luscious, natural glow on the apples of the cheeks. However, I love using it as a base for when I'm in a "Think Pink" state of mind. Applied underneath pink lip gloss, it's divine. Designed as a lip treatment, I think your lips will appreciate the shea butter! Remember to use code BLAQVIXEN at checkout at Korres to get 30% off your order. Expires 12/31.

Celebrity makeup artists Denise and Janice Tunnell (of the famed Illusions Cosmetics line) each swear by the Tarte The Toolbox Brow Kit ($32). This set contains brow gel, a brow pencil, tweezers, a brow brush, brow powder, brow wax, and three brow stencils, plus a mini mirror. As an added bonus, each of the products contain Skinvigorating ingredients such as cocoa seed butter, shea butter, palm oil, mineral pigments, and vitamin E. With benefits like these, it's almost impossible to believe that you can get it for $6!

Sampling Girly: She Speaks of Bliss...Do You?

I'm sure you have a lot to say and would love for your voice to be heard, right? I think She Speaks may be the network for you. As a member of the She Speaks community, you'll have the chance to test products and influence them.

For example, I received an invite to enroll in the Bliss Best of Skintentions program. This moisturizer is a multi-tasker - "Not only does it shields against burn-causing UVB rays, it's also one of the only moisturizers on the market in the U.S. that's clinically proven to protect against skin-aging UVA rays. And it's not just serious sun defense - this moisturizer also delivers a daily dose of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that help skin healthy and leaves a luminous finish."

I haven't had to combat embarrassing dry patches in a while. I'm determined to keep it that way. So yeah, I was more than a little interested in this product...the whole brand actually. On her blog, Tia Williams shared that she does the "lite" thing by using Bliss Lemon + Sage Body Butter Lite ($29), which is a Summer time version of the original, bestselling product. I would have benefited from this yesterday since the weather here in San Antonio is still unbearable. Maybe then I wouldn't have left greasy stains on the back seat?

Anyway, since I forgot to update my address in my account, I never received my free full-size tube, or the five offer cards for $5 off the product. However, I do have an online promotion code for all of my beautiful readers: to take advantage of this special offer, enter promotions code SSPEAKS before proceeding to checkout to receive $5 off Bliss Best of Skintentions moisturizer and free standard shipping at Bliss World. You have to select "standard shipping" to ensure that no shipping charges will be applied to your order. This offer expires September 30.

I also want to alert you that BeautyTicket has quite a few Bliss products at amazing prices. Use special promo code BLAQVIXEN to get an extra 10% off your order. It's valid until September 15th.

Are you a member of She Speaks? Have you tried Bliss products before?
