Eight Full-Size Boots No7 Products for $40 at Walgreens Now Through 12/6

Last month, reader G. from Houston sent me some pics of the new Boots Star Gift she spotted at her local Walgreens. As you can probably imagine, I'm extremely behind on new product posts at the moment, so I didn't get a chance to post her pics at that time (I'm so sorry about that, G.!).

This set is a great value at $80 (eight full-size products). But guess what? This week at Walgreens it's on

Review: Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams in San Paulo and Cannes

Purchased by Me
In anticipation of the big Nyx Cyber Monday Sale (details of which Nyx has yet to reveal as of the time of this post), I thought that you might like to see a review of some Nyx lip colors that I've been loving lately. You know, just in case there's a fantastic deal on these come Monday!

There were some questions after my post yesterday as to the start date and time of Ulta's Cyber Monday Sale, so I wanted to clear that up for you! If you look at the banner above, you can see that it says "Cyber Monday online offers start at 9PM CST."

This banner caused some confusion and questions here and on the Nouveau Cheap Facebook page, since the information can be interpreted a few

Kat Von D Star Studded Eyeshadow Book $28 at Sephora + Free Shipping

Several readers both here and on social media alerted me to this deal this morning (thank you all so much!), and if you follow me on social media, you know that I posted about it the moment I found it. I figured that it would sell out pretty quickly, so I didn't think I could do an actual blog post before it was gone but, as of the time of this post, the Kat Von D Studded Eyeshadow Palette is

MANY of you asked if I knew what time the Urban Decay Black Friday/Cyber Monday Flash Sales would go live on the site (last year I seem to recall them going live at 6AM Pacific). Well, I think this year they're doing things a bit differently:

HOT deals on LORAC, Zoya, Beauty Brands and more!

I don't recall there being so many great deals leading up to Black Friday in past years, but that's leaving a weird hole in my coverage because these sales don't fall into the Black Friday Round-Up category or the Ongoing Holiday Beauty Sale Round-Up category. So I figured I better just do a blog post and cover them here!




First up, LORAC is on HauteLook right now through Saturday morning and

The Lipstick League Question of the Week


Do your beauty spending habits change during the holidays? Do you tend to purchase more (or less) beauty-related items for yourself at this time of year?

G's answer: I would love to say that I spend less on beauty products this time of year (since I really should be thinking about presents for others) but sadly, this is NOT the case. Too many

Spotted: NEW Physicians Formula Eye Booster Instant Lash Extensions Kit

If you're a mascara person, then I'm sure you know that two-step fiber mascaras are HUGE right now. I'm old enough to remember the previous wave of fiber mascaras, which were kind of a hot mess (for me, at least) since they used to flake all over the place and irritate my eyes like crazy.



That said, this new generation of fiber mascaras seems to be much improved, but many of them are on the

Review: Ulta Nude Eyeshadow Palette

Purchased by Me 
Back at the end of October, Ulta released their new Nude Eyeshadow Palette. I posted about it then and I couldn't get it out of my head (I'm such a sucker for nude eyeshadow palettes...I must have them all!). So I ordered one from the Ulta site shortly after my intial post (I haven't been to an actual Ulta store in a while so I'm not sure if it's also available in-store).

The Lipstick League Question of the Week


 What’s your go-to party makeup look? Smoky eyes? Cat-eye liner? Bright lips?

G's answer: Oh I have a standard "uniform" when it comes to party makeup, and I rarely stray from it! I always go with a nude or champagne shimmery shadow, thick black liquid liner winged out a bit more than usual, heavy mascara on my upper lashes and no liner or mascara

Here's your friendly reminder:






I'm hoping that theBalm website doesn't crash this time around (as with their previous flash sales that I've blogged about in the past). I think that the last time theBalm did a flash sale, they ended up extending the time of the sale to accommodate those who weren't able to place orders. I'm guessing that if their servers crash again, they'll probably extend

Vitabath Holiday 2014 Limited Edition Body Wash and Body Lotion Collection

You know I'm a huge fan of Vitabath products (found at Ulta, Kmart, Rite Aid and other retailers). I think I've blown through five or six bottles of their Cupcake Couture Luscious Lemon Créme Moisturizing Body Wash since my review in August of 2013. I swear I could drink that stuff it's so yummy. ANYWAY, I just wanted to let you know that when I was on the Vitabath website yesterday, I spotted

The next Time You're Debating Whether or Not You Really "Need" That Talenti...

Purchased by Me 




Yes. Yes, you do. 


I broke my cute Q-Tip holder the other day and noticed that Mr. G had saved our Talenti Roman Raspberry jar (probably to reuse for storing homemade salsa, trail mix, etc.). I grabbed it out of the sink, gave it a good washing and voilà!






I'm sure I'll eventually find another cute Q-Tip holder for my vanity, but this'll do just fine in the meantime.

The Lipstick League - week of 10.27.14

The Lipstick League Question of the Week


What is your favorite season when it comes to new beauty collections? 



G's answer: Definitely fall. I love all of the rich, jewel-toned shades that we typically get in the fall, since those types of colors always work better for my skintone. I do love spring collections though, because pastels are so fun when the weather starts to warm up. But I
