Beauty

Ah yes, we are in the post-holiday slump and retailers are fighting hard for your business. What does that translate to? Some pretty decent cheap finds for you. Here are the sales our sponsors are currently offering!

Bare Necessities has a number of promotions going right now to get you to spend some fashion dollars. What do you think of this one? This is the Fashion Forms Long Tube Bra. This is good for girls like me, who love the strapless bra in THEORY, but the yanking and pulling just drives me insane. A nice bandeau like this will really make all the difference when you want to go strapless. Throw this under something sheer too, so sexy! Right now at Bare Necessities, See all styles marked 60% to 69% off at BareNecessities.com. and get FREE SHIPPING on some orders.

And Frederick’s is taking advantage of the looming Valentine’s Day by offering you some bargains as well. For starters, grab onto their Free Shipping for Valentines Day at Frederick’s. Pick up something sexy and simple for V-day, like this Satin & Lace Thong. Even if you aren’t attached, you still deserve to feel pretty, don’t you?

Today is the day where most North Americans start seriously thinking about their holiday shopping. And why is that? Because it’s Black Friday, when retailers all across America expect to rake in so many sales their figures to ‘to the black’ so to speak. But it is not just the brick and mortar stores that are doing this, online retailers are taking as much advantage of this day as many others, in fact, you will see sales extending way beyond Black Friday online, until what is now known as Cyber Monday, the Monday following Black Friday where online shopping hits a major peak. Here, I am going to give you as many deals and steals as I can find, so take advantage of them NOW before all the goods are scooped up. Even better, MOST of these retailers will take payment by PayPal now, so if you are not big on using credit cards this time of year, PayPal is a very secure method of payment. It’s the only way I shop!!

I love this plumping lip color from AVON and perfect for the holidays. This color comes with Double A Retinol to give your lips a little boost. A LOT of Avon products are really making their mark this year, and you can see them featured on Oprah, in O! Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, Glamour, and US Weekly among many more. Their ANEW products are one of their top sellers, and are revolutionary when it comes to the fight against aging. Have a look at their awesome sales like ANEW Stock Up & Save on any 3 for $19.99 at Avon!.

Fragrances make a great gift for anyone that you just aren’t sure what to get, or you think they have everything. There is nothing more elegantly wrapped than a designer fragrance. One of my favorites is the one I have pictured here, Stella by Stella McCartney. It is described as a rose in bloom, and though I am not big on flowers, this one is VERY sexy, and VERY pretty and not remotely overpowering. Even better, this is an all day scent for me, I need only apply once. But if you aren’t a Stella girl (I’ll forgive you) you will not be hardpressed to find your fave designer fragrance at Fragrance.Net. Or, for that person on your list you just haven’t decided on yet, find out who their fave is. And why not? You can’t go wrong with the Low Prices, Free Shipping and Great Holiday Gifts at FragranceNet.com!.

That’s all I will leave you with for now, that should keep you busy. But should I come across any more great finds today, you have to know you’ll be the first to hear about it!!

Gotta say, I am a BIG BIG online shopper. I also love Black Friday. And even though we aren’t quite there yet, I am still all over the online deals. Some of them are starting early, and most of them are running right through to Christmas, but get going now as quantities ARE limited. Over the next few days I am going to dip into some cheap finds for you so you can save some dabloons on your holiday dollars.

When you are shopping online, these are the key things you want to look for when deciding where to shop. Many online retailers are going to combine offers such as this, just to compete for your business.
