Today at Ideeli: Beauty Must Haves Sample Sale

by Shaina on January 18th, 2012

The Beauty Must Haves sale at Ideeli today looks amazing! The sample sale features products from Chi, GHD, Eyes Lips Face, Lip Fusion and more – but to be honest, Ideeli had me at Chi. I just received my first Chi flat iron for Christmas, and to say I’m obsessed would be an understatement.

Check out the Beauty Must Haves sample sale at Ideeli today!

Beauty Sample Sales at Gilt Groupe: StriVectin, Korres, AlchimieForever

by Shaina on January 12th, 2012

Gilt Groupe has beauty sales out the wazoo today. And no, I can’t think of a better way to put that. First up is StriVectin. I don’t have any experience with StriVectin, but I know Lisa is a huge fan. This stuff flies off the shelf everywhere it’s sold, so I will definitely be taking advantage of this sample sale!

This is the sale I’m most excited about – KORRES! Lisa already blogged about this sale on Tuesday, but it’s so fantabulous that I wanted to give it a second shout-out. Gilt City is offering $30 for $50 at the Korres website. Buy this. Buy this now.

Last but not least, also at Gilt City, you can get $100 of products from AlchimieForever for only $50! AlchimieForever products are pretty pricey, so getting half off will really come in handy. AlchimieForever aims to blend the best of science with the best of nature to to create “self-care through skincare.” As someone who strives to use as many natural products as possible, this sounds pretty darn good to me!

Head on over to Gilt Groupe today to take advantage of these fabulous beauty deals!

Get Ready for the Super Bowl with Rue La La’s NFL Tee Sale

by Lisa on January 11th, 2012

Rue La La Denver Broncos Tee

If you love the NFL, or just want to impress someone else that does, Rue La La is having a great NFL tee sale. They’ve got retro tees for many NFL teams that are super cute. They’ve got shirts for guys and gals, so you might even be able to match … or get opposing teams if you root for the opposites.

Even if you don’t like the NFL but love Tebow Mania that’s sweeping the country, pick up a Denver Broncos tee. They’ve got quite a few to choose from.

Personally, my pick goes to this team:

Patriots Tee

Go Team Tom Brady! {We were both at Michigan together for one year. I’m still trying to figure out if our paths ever crossed.}

I’m definitely picking this tee up for my fiance:

Lions tee

He’s that guy that only wears sports tee shirts, so I try to pick him up shirts that are unique and a little bit different. I know he’s going to love this Detroit Lions tee.

There are lots of great options and most of the tees cost just $17-$20.

12/21 Sample Sales: Jimmy Choo, Soia & Kyo, Diane von Furstenberg

by Shaina on December 21st, 2011

Here’s what I’m excited about today: the Jimmy Choo Handbags sale at Belle & Clive! I absolutely adore anything Jimmy Choo – be it handbags or shoes – so this is one sale I can’t miss!

A few years ago, I stumbled upon a coat at Nordstrom I absolutely adored by a label I had never heard of before – Soia & Kyo.  I didn’t purchase the coat (it was significantly above my price range at the time), but ever since I’ve been drawn to the label’s clean, beautiful lines.  The red beauty above is no exception, and I cannot wait to see what Rue La La offers today!

Below you’ll find all of the best  online sample sales opening today.  If you’re not yet a member of any of the sample sale sites below click on the name of the site and you’ll be able to register – and shop – immediately.

Any boutique you see bolded below is my personal pick for one of the best of the day.  Happy *Discount* Shopping!

Gift Guide: Beauty Products She’ll Love Sample Sale at Modnique

by Shaina on December 14th, 2011

For all you beauty mavens out there, I think there is going to be a super-fantabulous sample sale at Modnique today: Beauty Products She’ll Love. The preview shows some great products from Lancome, Clarins and L’Occitane – all high-end beauty brands not often seen in the sales. I specifically see the Lancome Cils Booster in the photo above, which is Lancome’s mascara primer that I adore and use every day under my mascara. It’s a great product – easy to apply and it goes on white so you can see where you’ve used the product. Just brush your mascara on top of the Cils Booster, and BAM! Darker, longer, fuller lashes. I use it with non-waterproof mascara and I think it helps make everything stay put a bit better.

Head on over to Modnique today to take advantage of this fab sample sale – and take my advice! Pick up a tube of Lancome Cils Booster! It normally retails for $22, so I’m eager to see what Modnique offers as a sale price.

Any of these beauty items would make great gifts as well for a bestie, a mom, a sister – or for yourself!

Michael Todd Cosmetics at Ideeli Today + Review!

by Shaina on December 1st, 2011

I was excited to see that Michael Todd Cosmetics is at Ideeli today! Awhile back, I blogged about how I really didn’t know much about Michael Todd but that it seemed to be a great all-natural skincare and cosmetics company.  Well, fast forward past the last couple of months:  I now use several Michael Todd Cosmetics products, and I love them!

First up is the Long Wear Creme Shadow in Vacation Bronze. These photos are super awkward … but they’re from the Michael Todd website. I absolutely LOVE this eye shadow. I use an eye shadow brush to put it on, and it goes on easily without any pulling or tugging like some creme shadows. And the best part? It’s still there when I take off my eye makeup at the end of the day! I’m not sure what colors will be available at Ideeli, but Vacation Bronze is a great shimmery gold/bronze neutral that goes with just about everything.

And what better to go with Creme Shadow than Gel Eyeliner? Once again … sorry for the super awkward photo. I first fell in love with gel eyeliner several years ago and my go-to brand was always MAC … until now. I ended up with the Gel Eyeliner in Open Gate, which I mistakenly thought was a brown/bronzy color, but in reality … it’s purple! It’s a really dark purple and to be honest … part of me still thinks it’s brown. So I’ll call it a “dark neutral.” It’s a great gel eyeliner – it goes on well and is extremely long-lasting, just like the eye shadow.

All in all, these are fabulous products that do what they’re supposed to do AND they don’t disappear in the middle of the day like pretty much every other eye makeup I’ve used! I have relatively oily skin, so the fact that this stuff holds up means a lot. These products get a blue ribbon from me!

Clarins Sample Sale at Modnique – Up to 35% Off

by Shaina on November 3rd, 2011

I am thrilled to check out the Clarins sale at Modnique today! I rarely see Clarins in the sample sales. Since Clarins products are pretty pricey as far as skincare products go, I’m eager to see their sale offerings.  It seems like I’m forever looking for a good light moisturizer with SPF, so I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that they have some options!
