Beauty Bargain: Scents and Sensibilty at Sephora

sephora_sampler1

Get more bang for your beauty buck with Sephora’s Scent Sampler, $50 ($80 value).  The set includes “deluxe samples” of 10 popular fragrances including Gwen Stefani L.A.M.B., Stella McCartney and Vera Wang Princess (here’s hoping “deluxe” translates to something bigger than the miniscule spray bottles they toss in your bag as parting gifts).

The kicker is, each set comes with a gift voucher of $50 that can be redeemed for a full size of any scent in the sampler.  Meaning, try Gwen’s little L.A.M.B. and get a full grown L.A.M.B. for free.

Beauty Bargain: Mini Makeup Brushes

Every girl knows that good things come in small packages.  Diamond rings, keys to a gorgeous new car, mini makeup brushes.  When it comes to makeup application, the proper tools are vital to creating that fresh, natural glow we all strive for.  And take it from me, that picture perfect natural look takes at least 20 minutes to achieve.  These great makeup brushes are brought to you by professional celebrity makeup artists, so they’re bound to bestow a bit of Hollywood mojo on you, too.

Beauty Bargain: Haute Hair Care

Sometimes you get what you pay for, and such is the case with hair care products by Kerastase.  Professional stylists swear by it, and if you’ve wondered why your hair never looks as good as the lovely ladies of Hollywood, it’s because they use these products and you don’t.  Therefore, you must, Must, MUST give them a try while they’re on sale at Folica.com where standard shipping is free with a purchase of $40 or more.

Yes, Kerastase is still more costly than the stuff you’re used to (order 2 products and you’ll definitely be eligible for free shipping), but given how much you’ve spent on products that didn’t deliver, consider it a bargain.  Now log on, order, repeat.
