Beauty Spot: Drugstore Haul

A New Year, New Products and time to clean out our beauty bags!

So, I do try to incorporate as much natural products into my beauty routine as possible, there are times especially when it comes to my hair, that a girl needs a little help.

Last week, looking through my coupons, I noticed buy one hair dye and get a root touch up for free, and 4 dollars off a suite of Loreal new shampoo line, which I found out is for people who use keratin as a straightening agent.

But, we did manage to get the latest Maybeline mascara with a 3 dollar off coupon. So here's our finds:
All of these products would have come up to 48.00 but with our coupons and with our club discounts it came up to 25.00.
I would not normally attempt to color my own hair, however the last time I had my hair colored, the majority of the hair color ended up on my neck and not in my hair, and this was at a salon.

How, did the Root Touch Up stand up?

The Root Touch to my surprise came out better than the salon, yes I followed the instructions to the tee and called the Clairol hot line to guide me as well.

Since I don't use Keratin in my hair the suite of products I bought, I gave away to a happy neighbor.

This next week, as I am prepping for Fashion and Beauty Week, I noticed the trends in black and white clothing and stark white nails, then I also noticed my liquid eyeliner needed to be replaced, and the red lip that everyone is talking about during awards season, I wanted to have a red lipstick as well.

Coupons to the rescue, I got 1.50 off British Red by Loreal Paris, Sally Hansen--White Out Nail Polish in Extreme Hard was 2.99, and I had a 1.00 coupon off Maybeline's Liquid Eyeliner, which comes in violet, green, bronze, navy and black. There was a sale on Nail Polish remover 2 for 4.00. I used my coupons and discount card and the total beauty haul came up to 23.00.
The Loreal British Red is amazing with a matte finish and the White Out nail polish is great.

So Those are our finds and updates to looking our best no matter the price point!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c...

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and descri...

What's On Trend for Spring

This Spring we are seeing a lot of floral, denim, and military styles. You may ask so how do I wear these trends without looking like everyone else. Floral Look: If you are wearing a single floral skirt then go solid with the top, or if you are wearing a completely embellished floral dress leave it alone and just wear it as is, great options on the lower end are from forever21.com , mid range options are at newyorkandcompany.com , and luxury items we recommend aliceandolivia.com The Denim: We see the high rise or Mom jeans are back in style, the deconstructed oversized chambray colored denim shirts that you can wear day or evening. Also, we are seeing constructed denim dresses, that are body con, or scoop neck that if worn with pearls can pass for a great formal first date. The stores that have these looks are hm.com  for the lower price point, mid range price is macys.com  and luxury is saks.com . They have all of the denim needs in the styles we discussed previou...
