Pink Beauty Buy: Smashbox ‘Blushing Pink’ Fusion Soft Lights Powder & Brush Set

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and as I’ve done last year, I’ll be posting my Pink Buys throughout the month. First on my list is this limited edition Smashbox BCA Blushing Pink Fusion Soft Lights & Brush Set. This full size illuminating silk-like Fusion Soft Lights powder comes in a new blushing shade that features the breast cancer ribbon and a makeup artist essential Face & Body Brush #19 with a shiny pink handle. I’ve tried it and I love it! This blush has a delicate sheen that gives a natural glow and is long lasting. It has a smooth texture that blends easily. The sections can be used as eyeshadow too. Valued at $82, it is $59 at Sephora and Nordstrom.

Who Benefits: A portion of proceeds will go to the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund, a grassroots advocacy group dedicated to finding a cure.

Mike & Chris Tie Front Metallic Jacket

Look what I found on page 15 of my Barneys Coop mailer: a Mike & Chris Tie Front Metallic Jacket that I’ve never seen before. Isn’t it gorgeous? The leather looks soft and supple. Metallics are in yet the sheen doesn’t look overly done. The tie front and slim fit give it a feminine touch. This is to die for! The jacket must be exclusive to Barneys as it isn’t even on the Mike & Chris website. It’s $922 so here’s hoping they’ll have it at the next sample sale.

Sample Sale Alert: Mike & Chris, October 4-6, 2007

O.M.G.! Look what I found in my inbox tonight:

Yes, Mike & Chris is having a sample sale again next week and you bet that I’ll be there ready, willing and able… to shop! And this time I’ll be smarter about it! At their last sample sale, they had $10 and $25 racks that I completely ignored in my quest for the Bailey. This time, I won’t be a snob. I will stock up. (Hey, Christmas is just around the corner!) Plus, how can you resist their leather jackets?

OK, here are the details in case you can’t see the image above:
