Kissable Couture

Welcome Back!



Today, I want to share a new product fave that I have added to my endless makeup collection: Kissable Couture.

"WOW" is the only word I can think of to describe the lipglosses that this company makes. It is nice to have a company that makes colors that women of color can use and enjoy. So many beauty bloggers, YouTube gurus, as well as Makeup Artists have raved about this collection, from Sam Fine to Kelly Epps, I don't think you would go wrong if you tried one or two, and that is exactly what I did.

I purchased two from the compay first (First Lady and Solstice), because yes, I acknowledge the glosses are a bit on the expensive side ($22 a pop), BUT the consistency is better than the average lipgloss to include MAC, and it can compete with NARS's lipglosses, and you know I love my NARS.

I truly loved the lipglosses that I just submitted another order for two more!!! Yes, I am in love!
The first time I placed my order, I did it by phone, and the customer service rep was very polite. The order took about maybe four days to arrive, considering I ordered late Friday afternoon.

When my package arrived, I was so excited because each of the lipglosses were individually wrapped in a cute black box secured with a bow. How elegant is that? Maybe that is where some of the money went, but hey, you want to feel special after spending so much, right?

I encourage everyone to try the lipglosses. I honestly can say that I don't think that you would regret your purchase. The information is at the bottom- and don't forget to let me know what you think.

***If you really want to try the products, AJ Crimson, the owner, has a special where if you type in the promo code: justforyou, you will get free shipping on your order, which is great, because it saves you the extra $10 that you would have paid for shipping. Alright, ladies- go get your order now, because I had to do some rsearch just to find that promo code : )

Sales: If you research them, they will come!!!

Hey, everyone!

I am so excited about what I did recently with my online shopping that I just had to share this with everyone quickly.

I was online looking at some of my favorite designer websites in search of some new items for my wardrobe. I stopped by Kenneth Cole's website, and saw that they were having a sale. Normally, I do not glance at the sale items, because sometimes, what they think is a sale, really is not a sale. However, something told me to look anyway. Would you believe that the sandals I have been "eye-ing" were on sale (59.98)? By the time I put those bad boys in the cart, they were only $12.00! Together with shipping and handling plus tax, I paid a total of $21.00!!! I think my Visa Card may have a heart attack, because it is so used to me breaking the bank.

The same thing happened yesturday. I was online visiting the Kissable Couture Website (I have a blog post on them coming soon)...I bought two of their lipglosses, but was just not comfortable paying so much. What did I do? I used my investigator skills and looked up some interviews to see if there were any discount codes that the co-owner, AJ Crimson was offering. Sure enough, he had a special code, which I took advantage of, and will share with you guys. I am glad that I did that, because they do not have any special offers listed on their website.

I am really happy about the little effort that I put forth, that has actually saved me a couple of bucks on my "slight" shopping spree. I just hope that laziness will not kick in and prevent me from searching before I make another purchase in the future.

So I have now learned and seen first hand what a little patience and research can do. If any of you like Kenneth Cole, please visit their website. Now is the time to stock up- they are taking as much as 80% off of their shoes and some selected accessories.

That's my take in a nutshell!

Be Safe!!!
