The Lipstick League – week of 12.3.12
We’re talking stocking stuffers in this edition of the this Lipstick League! One of the cuter ones we’ve seen is the tarte Picture Perfect set ($16); their Picture Perfect eyelash curler paired with Lights Camera Lashes Mascara. We asked our tester Holly to give it a spin. Here’s her report…
Tarte’s Picture Perfect is proof good things do come in small packages. This kit comes with an ergonomic eyelash curler with an easy grip and a deluxe sample of their famous mascara, Lights Camera Lashes. I can attest, this duo has helped my eyes/lashes look wider awake than they should during a busy holiday season! If you are a curler novice, never fear this product is very easy to use and delivers effortless curled lashes.
Now here’s what’s keeping the league looking fresh this week…

Great mini review, Holly! I need to remember to use my eyelash curler more often… especially during the holidays, when I’m feeling run ragged from all of the events and shopping.

@lipglossandspandex – Thanks for your kind words. This time of the year, it is good to have as many tricks as you can in your beauty arsenal.
It’s amazing what a difference a curler makes. Whenever I use one I swear to myself I will use one EVERY time. But cut to me running late for work…and you know the rest!

Call me a rule breaker but, I like to buy a couple different holiday beauty sets and break them up for friends. This way everyone gets an assortment from a couple collections. (It also makes me feel good because I ADORE/COVET many holiday collections and then do not have the pressure of picking just ONE perfect one.)
@hao9703 –that’s a great idea, and one I’ve done too! :)
Also, I totally picked up the deluxe sample of the mascara as my 100 pt Sephora sample today. Can’t wait!

That’s a great idea! Plus, you can keep your favorite item too. The holiday collections are always such a good deal, you could really make up a sweet little set for someone – genius!

You may be breaking the rules Holly @hao9703 – but I think that’s a brilliant idea. Everyone gets a taste of different brands and you can sort the colors so people get they best ones for their coloring. Smart – and must make wrapping your presents and sorting the goodies so much fun – I love playing Santa.

I HAVE to remember to use my eyelash curler too! It always makes such a dramatic difference, but it’s low on my list when I’m punched for time. I just got my nieces a cute little Snow Angel Hand Cream from Philosophy, they always have great ideas for stocking stuffers.
Agreed. Philosophy has great gift sets too! Little 2 oz. of their body washes and such. They’d be perfect for @hao9703 brilliant idea of breaking sets up for people!
