Tuesday treats and tips

Ladies, how's your week going? Mine? Insane, thank you.

Now for some goodies:

1. Tarte is offering 30% off their entire "Backstage To Fashion Week" line with code "FWSEPT" through 9/30/10. www.tartecosmetics.com

2. Stila's new palette pays tribute to Russia. You can get their new "Make an Impression in Moscow" makeup kit for the low, low price of $10. www.stilacosmetics.com

3. This is a challenge for you. It takes 21 days to form a true habit. Commit to something in your beauty routine. Maybe it's proper cleansing and moisturizing. Maybe it's cleaning up those awful raggedy fingernails. Heck, maybe it's just making the effort to wear makeup on a daily basis. But make a promise to yourself and stick to it for 3 weeks. That's it. 3 piddly weeks. At the end of the 3 weeks, see what you think? Is it second nature now? Do you like the change? My promise to myself is to have polished nails. (Not just clear, which is what I normally do.) But a beautiful fall polish color. It's been almost a week and a half and so far, I am really liking the change. I feel a bit more lady like!

So think about it. And then DO IT!

Grrr...

Sorry I was MIA my peeps. Someone out there decided I needed a nasty virus on my laptop and has therefore rendered it useless. Thank goodness for substitute computers.

Let's see what I have for you today!

1. 25% off any Max Factor and free shipping with any Max Factor purchase on www.drugstore.com

2. Spend $30 or more on www.clinique.com and get your choice of 4 free treats!

3. Kiehl's has relaunched their website (www.kiehls.com)with all new features and products. Use the code "NEWKIEHLS" at checkout to get free shipping for any purchase $20 or over.

Back from the long weekend!!

Hey ladies! Sorry I stepped out yesterday. As always, I have loads of stuff for you today to make up for my absence!

You can buy Tarte's new 6 piece "Amazonian Adventure Clay Infused Color Collection" early on QVC at a discount. Just be sure to get it before September 10!! Here's the link: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.html/params.file.%7Cnl%7Cem_aptsv_tarte_faux_090810%2Chtml?cm_ven=APTSV&cm_cat=TARTE0910&cm_pla=ACTIVE&cm_ite=HERO_FAUXPD

Any order over $35 on http://www.laurageller.com/ gets a free eyeshadow in Jupiter- an amazing fall color. No code needed!!

Go to http://www.origins.com/, make ANY purchase and you get to choose a full sized lip gloss! There are 4 options and whichever one you choose has it's own offer code. See the website for all the details.

And finally, I have been using Olay's Pro-Age body lotion for several weeks. This stuff is made with alpha hydroxy acids- you know, the stuff that chemically exfoliates your skin. It took my skin about a week to get used to it. But, I gotta tell you, I can really tell a difference! Particularly on my legs. My skin looks smoother and more uniform in color. I am really excited about this find.

Labor Day Weekend!!!

As we celebrate the last official weekend of the summer, let us remember the following:

1. I don't care if it is September, the sun is still out there. Use sunscreen if you're going to be outside. A sunburn looks ridiculous on everyone.

2. Urbanbella is offering a lovely Labor Day deal for the curly haired ladies. 15% off and free shipping with any order of $50 or more with code "CURLLAB"

3. Since it is that most of us have an extra day this weekend, take a little time to go through your existing beauty products. Get rid of anything old/crumbling/dried out/smelling funny/generally gross. Think of it as a "fall cleaning." This will give you an idea of what you need to get to get you through the fall and winter.

Happy Labor Day!!

A decade of purty-ness

Tarte is turning ten!!! (Helllooo alliteration!) Anywho, the eco-friendly cosmetics company has hit the 10 year milestone and they are giving the gifts to us! First, use code "BDAY" from now through Sept 6 to get $10 off a $20 or more purchase. Check out their new fall line of makeup for some other wonderful treats. I am supremely interested in the new EmphasEYES aqua gel liner. It's a long lasting eye pencil, but it's 50% water based. Rather than dry out/stress out the thin eyelid skin, it replenishes it. And the colors? Mmmmmm! Love it!! I am also intrigued by the new natural matte lip stains. I see myself wearing those with a layer of balm or gloss on top for some long lasting, moisturizing color.

Get thee to http://www.tartecosmetics.com/. And use that code this weekend to get your fall makeup jump started!

Quick discount code for you today

It's gonna be a short and sweet one today, ladies. Use code "48173" at http://www.ulta.com/ to get 20% off your entire purchase this week! This includes the premium brands!!

If you do nothing else today...

...go to http://www.stilacosmetics.com/ and purchase $10 of merchandise. Why? Because the free gift today is INSANE! It includes a full size eye shadow, a full size smudge pot, a full sized convertible color, a mini lip glaze, and a perfectly ready for fall clutch. Retail value of all the free stuff? $125. WHAT?? So, I spent $10 plus shipping and got $135 worth of stuff. Now that sounds like a good buy to Too!!! Just use code "APPRECIATION" at checkout.

Get ready for the week

I know I don't normally post on Sunday nights, but I had some fun stuff to share with you for the week ahead!

1. Free shipping this week at http://www.ulta.com/. Spend $25 or more and use code "59604." Don't forget to order your 3 free samples!

2. Join Hautelook (http://www.hautelook.com/) if you haven't joined yet because they are having a Stila Cosmetics Event tomorrow starting at 11:00 AM EST. 50% off or more on Stila?? Yes, please!!

3. Maybelline has come up with a gel eye liner with some serious staying power. It's called "Eye Studio Lasting Drama" and they claim that it can stay on up to 24 hours. If you've never tried a gel liner, don't be scared! I love this stuff. It much easier to work with than a liquid liner but once it dries, it is ON! It comes in 4 colors and honestly, you couldn't go wrong with any of them. They would all look amazing with the chic, lady like fall looks.

Some goodies for you!!

I know, I know. I was gone yesterday. That means I am going to give you several bits of good news today!

First, from today through Saturday, if you spend $25 or more at Ulta.com, you'll be getting 12 free samples!! WHAT?? 12?!?!?! No special code needed.

Got some great coupon codes and sales for you for the holiday weekend!

First, use the code "FIREWORKS" on http://www.tartecosmetics.com/ for 30% off your entire order until July 5! I would recommend one of their cheek stains (lovely push pop shaped gel colors that won't run off your face in the heat) or their EyeQuatic Waterproof Essentials Set (shown above) for eye makeup that is truly going to go the distance!!

Benefit Cosmetics is having their "Sale-A-Bration" going on over the holiday weekend as well. Go to http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/ and check out their options. I like the "Bright Lights, Big City" kit. So fun!

I know I tend to harp on this a lot; but please, please, PLEASE remember your sunscreen this weekend while you're out playing in the sun. The Neutrogena ones are the absolute best. I am walking proof that they do!!

A couple more super deals for you

Right now on http://www.ulta.com/, if you buy any 2 of their sun care or bath and body products, you get a free giant beach tote for free! The kicker? You can also use the $3.50 off a purchase of $10 as well. So, you're going to get a free tote, 3 free samples, and $3.50 off the total purchase. WHAT??? You know you need some more sunscreen- you should always have some stashed here and there. I, myself, purchased some of the dry touch oil free face sunscreen and some of the SPF 70 spray sunscreen.

http://www.clinique.com/ is also doing something special this weekend. If you enter the code "SUMMER" at checkout, you'll not only get free shipping on any order, you'll also get a deluxe sized sample of both lipstick and their famous "Take The Day Off" makeup remover. Want a product recommendation? Clinique's Up-lighting Liquid Illuminator. This stuff can be used EVERYWHERE. I mix it with my foundation or tinted moisturizer. I rub it in along my collarbone and shoulders. I mix it with my body lotion. And a little bit goes a loooong way. This stuff lasts and just adds the right amount of glow to anyone. Beautiful!

Steals and Deals!

I'm here to save you a little cash over the weekend!

Want to order some Stila before June 14? Use the code "LOYALFAN" and you'll get 20% off your total order and free shipping with any purchase over $25. http://www.stilacosmetics.com/

Also, if you purchase a customer favorite from Jonathan in the next 3 days (http://www.jonathanproduct.com/), you can get a full sized prep spray (one of Too's personal favorites) for free with the code "FAVE." I'd recommend the Straightening Lotion.

A coupon code for the weekend

I know I have talked about Pop Beauty MANY times before. I love, love, LOVE this line! It's fun and doesn't take itself too seriously! The quality of the makeup is wonderful and I own a good bit of it. I got an e-mail from them today and now through June 20, you can take 30% off your total order when you use the code "POPSummer" when ordering from their website http://www.popbeauty.co.uk/. Go to the site and browse around. I think you'll really like what you see!

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 great product at a great price

Want something pretty and natural looking for the summer? Try Stila's Cherry Crush Lip and Cheek Stain. This stain gives you an individualized flush of color since it reacts with your skin tone! Talk about a great idea. No one-size-fits-all! Here's the best part- if you go to http://www.stilacosmetics.com/ and use code "LUCKYCRUSH", you can get 50% off until 11:00 AM tomorrow morning!

Anywho, if you enter the code "nextsbx" at checkout, you're going to get 20% off your total order and free shipping. Did I also mention that you get 3 jumbo sized samples and a regular sample sized item at checkout? WHAT? That's crazy!! Go to http://www.smashbox.com/ and take a gander. I'd recommend perusing the "last call" section. It's items they aren't making anymore and most of them are 50% off or more!

Monday tips

Hello lovely readers. Did we all watch the Oscars last night? Wow! Lots to see and think about.

A few Monday goodies- You can save 15% on all skincare at http://www.philosophy.com/ with the code "skincare15". I recommend the Purity Made Simple face wash or The Micro-Delivery Weekly Peel.

Ulta will give you 2 free Urban Decay eye pencils with any $20 Urban Decay purchase on http://www.ulta.com/. Loving that!

Sephora has these super cool headbands made from wig hair (see above photo). It's a great way to pull your hair back and have it look really natural and sort of hippie-chic. They come in a pretty big range of colors and are affordable. I think they are a great addition to any spring wardrobe! Go to www.sephora.com to the Sephora Brand section and look under the 2010 Hair Trends section!
