Flash Post: Remix-a-lot
What It Is: Consider this post a bit of a 2-for-1. First, let’s start with the big gift idea. Christina Ricci has teamed up with my very favourite makeup brand, MAKE UP FOR EVER, to create an edgy faux leather makeup case embellished with rocker studs and a Navajo pattern. The result? Pure glam goddess style – perfect for tucking that fire engine red lipstick next to your must-have liner for weekend getaways, trips abroad, or even just for touch-ups between the gym and drinks with the girls. Honestly makeup bags are one my favourite go-to gifts because my own bags get all powdery and dusty so quickly – I’m always replacing them.
Second, you’re probably wondering what that tent on the left has to do with the ‘Remix’ bag I just talked about. Well it’s all in celebration of MAKE UP FOR EVER’s amazing Make Up Bag Remix Tour, which is making eight stops across the continent, including one in Toronto on April 13th and 14th. If you live in the GTA, you must sign up for a free beauty consultation with them on my behalf. Bring your makeup bag (even if it’s filled with non-MAKE UP FOR EVER products) and let a seasoned pro walk you through ways to maximize your beauty products’ power, plus receive a five-minute makeover. While on-site, you’ll also scoop up free samples and have a chance to snap up essentials from the amazing MAKE UP FOR EVER line. Can I please emphasize again that this is all free, and fabulous? Sign up your gal pal that’s celebrating her birthday or stagette and treat her to some products while you’re there. For full details & to snag one of the spots while they’re still available, visit the MAKE UP FOR EVER USA Facebook microsite.
Who It’s For: The bag is a perfect choice for your sister / daughter / best friend that simply loves makeup and likes her personal style to have a little zing. The Make Up Bag Remix Tour is a perfect stop for your bridesmaids or maybe even your sibling that’s about to graduate so they can learn some tricks of the trade leading up that special event. MAKE UP FOR EVER? Well I honestly recommend it to just about everyone at this point.
What It Costs: The bag is $35, or you can combine it with a Pro Finish Powder for a steal of a deal at $52. The Make Up Bag Remix Tour is free!
Where It’s At: The Christina Ricci Remix bag is available exclusively at Sephora. The tour will be at Yorkdale Shopping Centre April 13th & 14th. Wish I was there 🙂
