Opi Hong Kong Collection 2010

This is a cool new nailpolish color from Opi's Hong Kong 2010 collection. The color is called "Jade is the New Black". I had a pedicure the other day and really wanted to try this color. I love it!

CARGO Cosmetics 50% Off at Sephora Now!

I think Sephora is discontinuing http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_hierarchy.jhtml?brandId=CARGO. Last month I took my friend Holly to Sephora to help her pick out a lipgloss. She dislikes sticky lipgloss, so I suggested Cargo, because theirs is soft and moist and feels more like lip balm than a traditionally sticky gloss. Cargo lipgloss used to come in the big round tin with two colors side-by-side, which was all the rage a few years ago, but they changed to a regular tube-and-wand style packaging not so long ago. I complained that I thought $22 was high for a tube of lipgloss, compared to the old round tins... and compared to a brand like MAC, whose lipglosses are around $14 each. While griping about the price, I still think Cargo's gloss is one of the best, so she got one.

Suddenly these glosses are $11 each on Sephora's website, and all the other Cargo products are half off as well! I was wondering if it was some kind of error that by some miracle no one had caught, because it wasn't marked 50% off or "sale". I got excited. Before placing a web order, DD suggested I go to a Sephora location to see if that pricing was the same at the store, so we did, and it is!

I made out like a bandit and got 2 lipsticks, 1 lip brush (and Cargo's wide, stiff, flat lip brush is my favorite lip brush of all time. I already had one... now I have two!), the giant "Big Bronzer" which is the size of a salad plate, a "Suedeblush", 1 lipgloss (has no fragrance), and one Blu Ray lipgloss, which is minty... for just under $100 total.
