Back with a bang!!!

Hey readers! Too is back from vacation and I have a few tidbits for you for the week

If you have a Belk near you, it's Clinique Bonus time. I've seen the bonus and it's super cute. Get on it.

If you are thinking of ordering from http://www.philosophy.com/, use the code "august" until the end of the day tomorrow to get free shipping

Go to http://www.sallybeauty.com/ and use the code "555905" to get 20% off your total order. (I'd recommend the new fall line of China Glaze nail polishes. They are so retro fabulous, it's unreal!!)

And finally, if you are having trouble keeping your makeup on during these sweltering days, dust a light layer of transluscent loose powder on your face before applying your foundation for an oil absorbing layer to help your makeup hang on!!

We interrupt this regularly scheduled blog...

Ok, I know we were talking about retinoids, but if you order anything on Sephora and enter the code "FLORALBAG" before May 9 and you will receive a free cosmetic bag and 12 (yes, you read that right) 12 Clinique mini lip glosses. There's no minimum purchase. No kidding.

Oh, and it's also bonus time at clinique.com. The best part? You get to choose what goes in your bonus! You pick everything from the bag to all the products! I love everything about that.

It's a great time to go to either site and stock up!!

A couple of Tuesday highlights

First off- order anything from MAC Cosmetics online and use the code "PINK" at checkout for free shipping. No minimum order!!! (Too recommends Tinted Lipglass in Cha Cha. It's a fantastic coral that would look good on any skintone!)

Secondly- if you have a Belk near you, it's Bonus Time at your Clinique counter! I got the flyer in the mail showing what was in the gift with purchase and was highly impressed! You actually get to choose your eyeshadow colors based on your eye color. Hello! Why have they not offered that before?? It's also got their famous eye makeup remover, a lipstick, a mirror, and a couple of other goodies as well as a super cute cosmetics bag. Check it out!

TGIF!

Whew. I don't know about y'all, but I sure am glad it's the end of the week. So, some fun tips for today!

The new trend in nail polish right now is matte. It is a very cool, mod look. I think the ones I like the most are in the new OPI Suede line: http://www.enailsupply.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=1535

These are super cool and edgy! Basically, they took some of their most popular colors and made them a flat metallic shade rather than a glossy one. I am currently wearing "Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees Suede." It is this awesome metallic grey that would look unreal on just about any skin tone. Because of the nature of the polish, it dries VERY quickly which is a bonus for those of you with little time. The only thing is that you have to use a matte top coat on it. If you use a regular one, it'll be shiny. Fortunately, both OPI and Essie make great matte top coats. You can also use them on top of any of your old nail colors for the same matte effect! Hello double duty!

If you have a Macy's in your general vicinity, it's bonus time at Clinique right now. I have personally tried all the products in the current bonus and let me tell you- they are PERFECT for the fall. Absolutely GORGEOUS. Get thee to your local Clinique counter and get your free schwag!

Today's Breast Cancer Awareness product: Since you're going to Clinique anyway, grab one of these- http://www.clinique.com/product/CATEGORY4901/PROD15512/Makeup/Lip_Glosses/index.tmpl

Fantastically easy to carry around in universally flattering colors? Yes please!!
