Gear up for Magazine Beauty Giveaways

Monday July 6, 2009

With the beginning of a new month come great giveaways at your favorite magazines. This month Allure is giving away 10 of their editor's fave fragrances as well as the following on each day:

  • July 6th - Schick Intuition Plus Razor
  • July 7th - Clean & Clear Advantage Mark Treatment
  • July 8th - Styli-Style Timeless Lipstick (Natural)
  • July 9th - Rene Furterer Volumea Volumizing Shampoo
  • Also, Marie Claire magazine continues to have their giveaway calendar for each month, and they have everything to giveaway from tea to products from Elizabeth Grant and even an assortment of supplements from Vidazorb. Lucky Magazine has quite a bit of giveaways as well, and you don't have to wait for the right date to enter. Right now they have both August and July giveaways ready. Here is a sample from their July giveaway list:

  • 100 Benefit shopping sprees worth $100 each
  • 120 Pangea Organics 3-pc sets, worth $84 each
  • 100 Eau Thermale Avene 5-pc collections, worth $100 each
  • To round out the list, Cosmopolitan is giving away Estee Lauder Turbo Lash mascara, Redbook has numerous giveaways, and Women's Health has a giveaway a day. For some reason this month's giveaway list is smaller than usual. Maybe it's the economy hitting them where it hurts as well, who knows. So make your mental list and remember to go to certain sites daily to register for a new daily giveaway. And if you win anything, come back here and brag to the rest of us!!!

    Makeup Deal of the Week - Avon Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara

    Thursday July 2, 2009

    This week's makeup deal of the week is a whopping $1.99! Avon has their Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara (Compare Prices) on sale for the low price of $1.99, instead of the normal $6.50. This mascara is great, since it's waterproof and perfect for the heat of summer, plus the wand is wonderful because it works to coat every lash from root to tip. When you add in the 65% off discount then it's a no-brainer why it's the makeup deal of the week. Just keep in mind that these deals may not last all week, and some of the current Avon deals expire at midnight July 2nd, so if you want to grab it you should hurry!

    Also, if you're worried about shipping costs, don't. Once you spend $10 or more you get Free standard shipping, if you use Promo Code SUMMER10 at checkout. Avon has lots of products on sale right now, so reaching the $10 mark is REALLY easy. To get you started why not grab a mascara in brown and in black, or two of each? I always stock up on mascara when they are dirt cheap so I always have one when I need it and I save lots of money too.

    Haute Looks and Hot Makeup Deals

    Friday June 26, 2009

    There is a new site that I'm completely addicted to called HauteLook.com. This site takes premium brand products and offers them to their members for 24-48 hours or more at a discount of 50%-75% off. I haven't shared this with you yet since they haven't featured anything makeup related…until today. Today they a featuring Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, and boy is it at a really GREAT price. Here are a couple examples of what they have and the prices:

  • The Essential Eyeshadow Palette (5 shadows in the palette) - Reg. price: $55, Deal: $27.50
  • The Expert Lip Tint (lipsticks) - Reg. price: $23, Deal: $11.50
  • Various Pressed Powders - Reg. price: $54, Deal: $27
  • The Kevyn Aucoin Beauty sale will last for around 70 hours, beginning today (June 26th). Once the countdown is over the items will not be available, plus they sometimes run out of products before the sale is over. With this in mind, if you are interested simply go to the HauteLook website and sign up (It's Free), then you can begin shopping for some really great bargains…even beyond makeup. And mark your calendars because next week, on June 30th, Napoleon Perdis will be featured as well!
