Time to do the coupon dance! Wooot! I love a good deal, discounts, etc. especially on cosmetics since there are no discounts on cosmetics  in department stores! I worked at Macy’s for three years and the #1 customer question was … ” Can I get a discount?” My answer, ” Uhh yeah, open a Macy’s account!” Puh-lease.. don’t ever get a department store credit card unless you know you will be paying off the balance every single month. Seriously.. that’s the best advice I could give to anyone .. ever!

Last month, I saved over $10 on my beauty.com order [...] Continue Reading…

I’ve been sick in bed, and thank my lucky stars I have a job where I can actually work FROM my bed. Yay! Pillows propped up, laptop perched on my lap.. love it, don’t love the coughing and sneezing and aches.  Not only am I sick, but I received contact dermatitis from QuikSpray hand sanitizer, which contains 65% Ethyl Alcohol.. so my hands are burning to go along with everything else. To make me feel happy, I went on the Sephora website and discovered some new goodies I might try. I did a huge favor for a friend, and [...] Continue Reading…

MAC in Lillyland Collection Spring 2010
Who is Lilly Pulitzer? While working at her juice stand in Palm Beach, she became tired of trying to get the juice stains out of her dress, so she asked her dressmaker to design a sleeveless shift dress made of bright colors and patterns on cotton material. The dress became her trademark and became what is now the classic shift dress. Jackie Kennedy was one of the first celebs to wear Lilly’s dresses … and well, the rest is history.

This new MAC in Lillyland collection is a ” collaboration that feels like the best [...] Continue Reading…

All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection 2010

Hmm.. I thought MAC said brows were OUT for Spring ? Uhhh.. “makeup” your mind.

Anyway, here is what MACPro.com has to say about this new collection, which to me, looks like brows decided they were back in for next season, but I do see how this still fits with the “Unglamour” theme:

” Intent on a universal focus, a collection that extends our range with new shades to match every international skin tone. But that’s not all. Because brows speak louder than words, two new products to help you express their style. In [...] Continue Reading…
