Weekend Update

Two great things happened this weekend.

The first was that I got my Dior Detective Chic and it only cost me $4!!!! Here's how: I did a make-up alley swap in which I traded 4 products for a $25 Macy's giftcard. Then I paid for the remainder of it with the rent.com giftcard I got for leasing my apartment. I say it cost $4 b.c that is what it cost me to ship the items I swapped. The compact is so cute and the powder is very light so I can dust it on liberally.

The second was my discovery of the Shu Uemura Mode Make-up event. This coming Saturday at 8am in the Nordstrom at Pentagon City there will be a Shu Uemura fashion show. The tickets are $15, but this includes a Mimosa breakfast, a train case and a raffle. The cost of the ticket is also redeemable in product. I bought one for me and one for my hubby, so I'll be getting 2 train cases, double the chance to win something, and I can get $30 worth of product. I am definitely getting that gold blush, I'll decide that day how to spend the other $10. OH, I almost forgot. They are also doing personal consultations all day long. I made my appt for 9:30, right after the show. I'll be getting a full skincare and make-up application and the appt is booked out for 30min. I am so excited for this event. I will post next Saturday after I attend.
