Secret Santa, Beauty Style

Sometimes the office party, ok, usually the office gift pool is crappy. Let's say that the spending limit is $20. My best bet is usually on a gift card. The "beauty" of a gift card is that you can turn around and spend it on someone else, oorrr, tuck it away for a treat for yourself. You know, after the holidays, budget gets a bit tight, and the after holiday blues have set in; until, yeah!!!! treat yourself to a little something with your card that you scored during dirty santa. Chances are, gift sets and holiday items will be on sale, treat yourself away! The "beauty" of the situation, guilt-free!!!

holiday at its best

I realize that we don't have all day to surf the web for deals n steals. This is a great site to join up with, hautelook.com. It is a member only site, aka, you get there emails. They have Stila on amazing discounts right now, really. Stila products at drugstore prices, go, go, go!!!

*****Christmas glow*****

I feel like the holiday season is an oxymoron for the world of bearing skin. During the spring and summer it is expected that we all look glowing, healthy, and well tan (real or fake). We show skin that time of year, who wants to wear tanks, sundresses, and shorts glowing like casper? Not me. Here is the dilemna: inevitably we all find that fabulous holiday outfit that shows arms and/or shoulders, What to do? Self tanners are going to make your face look like the white star on top of the tree and too much of any color makes you look REALLY fake. One of my favorite solutions is the Jergens natural glow lotions. They are great because you control the color and adjust your face make-up accordingly. If you have several parties in a row indulge in a spray tan so that you do not have stress about one more thing during the holidays. Party on!
You can find Jergens lotions at drugstores and grocery stores everywhere!

Holiday PERK-UP

With the holiday season upon us schedules are more hectic. Between families, parties, and budget concerns perhaps your sleep hours are down. I have noticed several new products on the market with caffeine. Origins has a skin energizing line that is of course, all natural, my sensitive skin tends to react badly with some of origins products; however, I LOVE their microdermabrasion system! Has anyone tried this new line? The next line I am dying to try is from Garnier, it is an energizing system that includes an eye rollerball as in previous lines. I have never tried the rollerball myself but have only heard rave reviews. Give me some feedback on any of these products. My undereye circles will thank you!

Find these products at drugstore.com, beauty.com, and dillards.com

Spending = stopping the recession!!!

I don't even know where to start....

The newspaper must have weighed about five pounds this morning. Ads, ads, ads!!! I know that keeping your budget in line is challenging this time of year. My favorite ads were the drug stores. If you are a proud, card-carrying member of your local drug store I have good news. Locally, I am plugging Walgreens and CVS. Not only are a lot of things on sale, but most of them also have "rewards". I was excited to see that quite a few products equal the rewards with the price. It's like shopping for free! My point is this, so you spend a bit in the next few days but you can keep your savings for those drug store emergencies that we all have. Last minute milk, eggs, batteries, mascara, blah blah blah. Good luck on Black Friday!
