On my most recent trip to Ulta, I noticed in their massive clearance section that they have the limited edition Too Faced Glitter Glaze Sparkling Shadow Top Coat , both shades, on clearance for $6 !! Down from the original price of $21. Source: Sephora This top coat is a liquid mousse type texture that is meant to be applied on top of eye shadows to add a glittery effect and add some dimension to the lids or can be worn completely on its own. It comes in a twist off tube with a doe foot applicator. Easy for application. There are two shades available ;  Silver Spark , a bright cool toned silver, and Goldie Rocks , a warm yellow gold. I noticed this is also still available online at Sephora for $16. Not as inexpensive, but still a good deal. Check these out at your local Ulta or Sephora while you can and pick one or both of them up while they're still available!

Sephora is offering Kat Von D's Foiled Love Liquid Lipstick in the shade Adora, which is a bright red for $9.50 . These lipsticks normally retail for $19. Click HERE to see it or purchase it. If you haven't had a chance to try any of Kat Von D's product, here's a good opportunity. Her blushes are incredibly pigmented and long wearing. Her foundations and concealers are very full coverage as well as long wearing. Sephora describes these l ipsticks as "a  richly pigmented lipstick with a long-lasting, dramatic  finish." These seem similar to the Milani Lip Intense Liquid Color that recently came out. Take advantage of these sales while you can because they do sell out quickly.

 Sephora is offering 5 free samples with any online order . This offer ends March 25th. Typically Sephora offers 3 free samples per order, so this is a nice added bonus! Right now some of the samples include the Guerlain Maxi Lash, Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask, and the Prada Candy L'Eau Eau de Toilette.  Sephora will substitute samples that are no longer in stock, so what you order may not be what you get.  Source: Sephora

I've heard amazing things a bout the Korres lip butters. And if you haven't tried them, here's a good opportunity to try them out!

These Urban Decay palettes are fairly new, but I found the Urban Decay Anarchy Face Case, which retails for $44, is on sale for $29 on sephora.com. This palette is limited edition, so it won't be available for very long. The palette contains 5 eye shadows in Redemption , a deep gunmetal satin finish, Fray , a warm mauve matte finish, Vaporize , a deep metallic gray-taupe shimmer finish, Provocateur , a light metallic mauve with a multidimensional micro-glitter, and Revolt , a bright metallic silver with silver micro-glitter, two blushes in Fetish, a mauvey pink and Quickie, a bright pink, a highlighter, a Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Scandal , and a 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Perversion , a deep matte black. If you've never tried Urban Decay products, I recommend picking this palette up. Urban Decay makes beautifully pigmented eye shadows , and their 24/7 eye pencils are smooth, pigmented, and are very long wearing. And for those of us that love a palette w...

LORAC Perfectly Lit Luminizing Powder I spotted this sale on sephora.com. They are offering the Lorac Perfectly Lit Oil-Free Luminizing Powder  in Spotlight for $24 ! This normally retails for $32. I have this highlighting powder and it is absolutely stunning! It's the perfect beige toned highlight with an iridescent pearl finish, no chunky specks of glitter. One down side to this product, if you have acne prone/sensitive skin, it does contain Bismuth Oxychloride, which can cause irritation to the skin, it does for me. And while I have not had any break outs when I used this product, it's just something to be cautious of. If you can't get your hands on The Balm Mary-Lou-Manizer(these 2 highlights are quite similar), which also retails for $24 and is available only online at thebalm.com and in stores at select Kohls, but you want to be able to swatch and see a product in person before you buy it, I recommend checking this highlighter out. SHOP THE DEAL ...

Another great Sephora Deal to bring you guys, the Stila Bring On the Night Makeup Set! I found this set online at Sephora.com originally valued at $104, it's down to $35! The savings is huge, about 66%, and you get 5 products(not sure if they're full size or not) for $7 a piece. The Smudge Crayon in Black, a Lip Glaze in Mango, the All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer in Kitten, the Custom Color Blush in Coral, and a Jewel Eye Shadow in Black Diamond. I have the All Over Shimmer in kitten in a powder form and I absolutely love it! Stila makes very beautiful products. The lip glazes are not sticky and look beautiful on the lips. I have not tried the smudge crayon, but I've heard great things. I highly recommend picking this up while it's still available. It is only available online at sephora.com and is limited edition. SHOP THE DEAL

MAKE UP FOR EVER Wild & Chic Palette I found a sweet deal on Sephora.com on a MAKE UP FOR EVER palette. The MAKE UP FOR EVER Wild and Chic Palette is a limited edition palette that has a good combination of 6 neutrals, a khaki, a beige, light pink, bronze, a copper, and a brown-black. The palette also contains the travel size Aqua Eyes(eyeliner) in Matte Black. This palette retails for $39 and is on sale for $19 . That's over a 50% savings! MAKE UP FOR EVER makes very pigmented eye shadows and their liners are very long wearing. I recommend picking this one up while it's still available, it is limited edition and is available only online. SHOP THE DEAL

Right now on sephora.com there are 2 shades of the much loved Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 hour blushes on sale for $14 , and these retail for $30 a piece! You're getting them for over 50% off, quite a bit of savings. The shades on sale include, Empowered (an apricot pink), and Fearless (golden pink with gold shimmer). These are new colors and are full size. If you're in search of a long wearing blush, I do recommend picking these up. They are very pigmented. However, if you have very sensitive skin(acne prone) I recommend caution as they contain an ingredient (bismuth oxychloride) that has broken me out in the past. SHOP THE DEAL

Right now Sephora is selling the Tarte EmphasEYES Waterproof Clay Shadow Sticks for $8 , regular retail value is $25 each. That's a 68% savings. I love putting down a base color before putting on any eye shadows, it makes them really pop. The colors available are Champagne (a shimmery beige), Moss Green (a dark olive green), Moca Berry (a dark reddened brown), and Charcoal (a sparkly dark grey). The Shadow Sticks are very pigmented and opaque, I highly recommend picking up these while they are still on sale. SHOP THE DEAL
