Totally Cheap Tuesday!!

This Tuesday we are giving you a Passport to Paradise! Well sort of… L’Oreal has a beautiful “Passport to Paradise” collection out for Summer 2010 and it is a must!  The collection is complete with bronzers, lip gloss, &  eye shadow, but I have my eye on the nail polish! Three new limited edition nail colors were introduced with this collection and they are so cute!

High Tide, Ocean Breeze, & Waters Edge

High Tide, a smokey blue with a hint of shimmer, is fresh and understated, Ocean Breeze, a bright blue, is perfect for toes or a night on the town, and Waters Edge, a bright aquamarine, is electric and sure to stand out against tan skin! I was instantly drawn to the colors in this collection they are great for summer and just looking at them invoked the “hot summer day” feeling. L’Oreal’s Passport to Paradise collection is a great way to look hot without burning your savings!

 I love Totally Cheap Tuesday, and since this is the tenth edition it got me thinking…hmmm  some of the worst deals have to do with ten i.e.  buy ten the 11th one is free, 10% off, $10 dollars off, 10 for 10…( well I like that last one) but anyway today we are doing it big and I’m not just blowing smoke  ’cause its 420.  Today, Totally Cheap Tuesday, is smart and free!

    

Smart

   

Hautelook.com. many websites have sample sale style deals, but this one takes the cake! Gilt Group is another great sale website, but to be honest 40% off of a $600 blouse isn’t going to work. I appreciate the discount, but for real?!? Hautelook.com sells Men’s, Women’s, Baby, Home, and my fav’ BEAUTY! Today they have Urban Decay on sale starting at $4.25. See the difference? Hautelook takes affordable to semi-affordable items and then cuts them down 40%-75%! I adore this site and have purchased numerous things over the past year! I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have it really is fantastic! 

   

Free

 As I mentioned Hautelook is having a sale on Urban Decay. Well here comes the ”Free” part, obv’s! One fabulous Hall of Fame Kit will be given away to one beauty! Enter for your chance to win by,

A Classic Trend

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Pedicures are a must in the spring. Dragging the dogs out after a long winter and shoving them into sandals, pre-pedicure, is positively appalling! In Light of this I scheduled my spring cleaning appointment with a new addition to the Milwaukee beauty scene, Urban Trends SalonSpa, and let me just say, “WELCOME HOME!”  Nestled downtown this mid-sized salon offers all of the amazing amenities you might find at a larger corporate salon including, bottled water, candy, and a fully stocked bathroom that is beyond beautiful!

 

 However, when it comes down to it Tootsie’s can’t save a salon.  Treatments, technique, staff, and pricing are really the cornerstone’s to success and ***Spoiler alert**** Urban Trends Salonspa is stacked!  Offering a variety of treatments in hair design, skincare, waxing, massage, make-up, and nails; Urban has everything you need to look your best without breaking your bank

 

Amy, my Sole Savior, chiseled, chipped, soaked, and scrubbed until my toes were pampered, painted, and perfectly Dim Sum Plum’ed! The Classic Pedicure is absolutely divine and one of my new “must have’s”! I skipped walking and took cloud 9 home after I realized the best pedicure I have ever had was also the cheapest, and you can’t beat that with an orange stick! Find out more about our beautiful new neighbor here!

***** Limited Time: $20 off your first service No restrictions!!

Special Thank you to Amy and Trent! XOXOX

Don’t spend this summer sweating your make-up off! Let us help you stay cool and look flawless with L’Oreal’s Studio Secrets Professional Color Correcting Primer! I hate spending time with my make-up just to have it run away the second it get’s a little steamy. Thankfully, my BFF recommended L’Oreal’s Color Correcting Primer, and I absolutely love it! L’Oreal’s Color Correcting Primer is available in two shades, light or dark, and can be worn alone or under foundation. I use a small amount in the morning, a little goes a long way, sans foundation and my complexion looks brighter, smoother, and more radiant. Now, I know that going without foundation will not work for everyone, but with Summer around the corner L’Oreal’s Professional Color Correcting Primer is easy, affordable, and effortless. Not to mention a fantastic alternative to beat the heat and avoid make-up meltdown.

Totally Cheap Tuesday

March! So good to see you again! March marks the first month of spring, which got me thinking…. I need a tan. However, I said, “Good-bye” to tanning beds a long time ago and have opted instead to find products that accentuate my natural beauty. This is one of my fav’s and I think you will love it too!

JK Jemma Kidd Lip ID Color-Adapt Lip Gloss

 

 

This self adjusting gloss morphs to flatter your skin type and does a fab’ job mimicking some of the other more expensive types of self-adjusting gloss like Smashbox O-GLOSS and Duwop’s Private Red. Jemma Kidd is a little more expensive at $20 than our usual Totally Cheap Tuesday loot so in order to give our diva’s more bang for their buck  here is an insider secret..this gloss can double as a cheek stain. Bang!

Organically Beautiful

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

I love the idea of natural make-up, but I must admit that sometimes I think it is boring. I like sparkles and flashy packages, make-up that is a little more bionic than organic! However, today is a brand new day. Today I  discovered Nubonau, the natural and organic skincare boutique, and I will never look at organic products the same way again!  

Nubonau carries an assortment of products for men, home, women, and baby. So I have picked out just a couple that really sent me reeling. Enjoy!  

3 Free Lacquer in Rosie Lee by butter LONDON. Check out all of the glamorous colors! $14

  

Lip Trio Moisturizers SPF 8 By Juice Beauty. Includes a naturally clear and 2 divine mineral tints. $15

  

Folio Blackberry By La Bella Donna. This Quad of eye color is like a socialite, rich and dramatic! $55

Totally Cheap Tuesday

I love nail polish. It is a great way to change up my look, I love all the colors, and I can pretty much run the gamut, since even designer brands are usually never more than twenty-five dollars. Lately, I have been in nail Nirvana with all of the fab’ fun new products and now I have one more to add to the list!  

 Revlon Fruitful Temptations Nail Enamel   

   

Revlon has created a divine color collection inspired by the shades and scents of summer… wait!? Scents? Yes, ladies SCENTS!  Fruitful Temptation’s are scented when dry and last up to twenty four hours after use!  

Passion Fruit, Sublime Strawberry, Raspberry Rapture, Pretty In Papaya, Not So Blue-Berry, & Mad About Mango. ( not shown - Coconut Crush & Mon Cherry)

 

These bottles of summer sell for around $4.99 each, but are only available for a limited time, so get some scent and save some cents!
