Snob Steals and Deals: Too Faced Decade of Glamour

| Leave Comment

Now isn't this the cutest little make up kit you've ever seen? Too Faced celebrated its 10 year anniversary with the Too Faced Decade of Glamour Beauty Wardrobe Makeup Collection. It comes with its most popular products for the past 10 years. This is a great try me kit for Too Faced, or I'm thinking of giving it as gifts to the younger ones in my family. It's cute just to display on their dresser, and I love the silhouette of the girl in the bronzer/blush. The products are all deluxe sample size but for $19.50 for a $195 value who can go wrong? It's got a variety of color and product so this is great for the experimenting beginner or the beauty lover like us!

Get it at Sephora for $19.50.

lush 2.jpglush 1.jpg

For the beauty obsessed mama who's got it all, finding something for Mother's Day can be quite the difficult task which is why I LOVE Lush's Mother's Day sets. The bright colors, the fabulously fun packaging -- how could this not put a smile on someone's face? Plus they're filled with all kinds of fun, great smelling bath products many of which are shaped like flowers, hearts, or bold geometric shapes. None of the products are serious -- what mom wants to be reminded of her face wrinkles on Mother's Day? What you will get are a bunch of delectably relaxing, kitschy bath goodies for your mama (or you if you're a mom!) to indulge in. There are two limited edition sets of note -- The Mum Gift ($39.95) and Sugar Mama ($17.95). Each set comes pre-packaged in eco-friendly gift wrapping made of 100% post consumer recycled paper. The paper is acid free, chlorine free, biodegradable, and 100% recyclable. The gift boxes the products are contained in are chlorine free,100% recyclable, and all the ink used is vegetable based. Jump to see what's in each box!

Wei East WE Help Bring Hope Collection - MARCH GIVEAWAY!

| 12 Comments
Win a set of WE Help Bring Hope Collection by telling us Wei East.jpg I would recommend that everyone watch a video posted on the Wei East website in which the founder of the ancient Chinese herbal medicine-inspired beauty line, Wei Yang Brian, discusses what inspired her to create Wei East WE Help Bring Hope Collection. The collection of eight of Wei East skin care's best sellers retails for $70 ($300 value), and 100% of sales go to autism (Autism Speaks and The Autism Treatment Center of America). The box totally puts a smile on my face. It was designed by Wei herself and displays a drawn picture of Wei pushing her son, who is autistic, on his favorite swing and her daughter chasing a butterfly in the yard with a bright sun in a perfect blue sky shining down on them. Wei says that it's the feeling of hope that brings sunshine into her life and that's something that truly shines through in this collection and in the video. More about the collection after the jump!

Smashbox Rapture Holiday Collection

| 1 Comment
Holiday Group_high_res.jpg I've never subscribed to quantity over quality, but I'm all about getting the most bang for my buck and the Smashbox Rapture Holiday Collection definitely seems to fit that bill! The collection is meant to mimic the airy lightness and sweet shades found in tulle, silk, and satin to create a perfectly romantic and enchanting holiday season - not bad:) I have yet to try one of these for myself, but there is so much to choose from you'd be hard pressed not to find something! Details on the Holiday sets after the jump!

Philosophy Gingerbread House gift set looks delicious!

| 4 Comments
philosophyginger.jpgI am obsessed with Gingerbread houses; blame it on Hansel and Gretel but when I see one, I must take a bite.  I once ate a piece of Gingerbread house at my friend, Entertaining expert Kimberly Schlegel Whitman's Christmas dessert party (she loves throwing dessert holiday parties!) and she was like "you just ate glue!". Did I care?  Nope, did I take another bite?  Yup! 

Philosophy has a gift set that won't be safe from my bite either, it has the most delicious smelling 3-in1 shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath in red hot, creamy frosting, spicy gum drop and gingerbread flavors.  It's only $28 so I plan on picking up a couple but they're so cute I may not give them away; I am like that-- I buy gifts for people and end up keeping them.  Trust me, I am really irritated with myself but I can't help it!

I'm also taking a Mommy and Me Gingerbread house baking class with my son on Saturday, we'll see who eats more-- I just hope he doesn't cry when I eat his Gingerbread house!  At Philosophy.com

It retails for $95 and includes -- Ginger Mentha Warming Mint Body Scrub 10 oz, Double Ginger Bath Fizz 5.2 oz tablet, Ginger Mentha Moisturizing Body Cream 8 oz, Ginger Mentha Lip Shine 0.5 oz, Ginger Mentha Warming Body Wash 10 oz.

Special Gifts for Fathers Day!

For dear ol’dad, your sugar daddy, or your baby’s daddy- these man friendly products are something every guy will be secretly excited about! My boyfriend uses the cheapest shampoo he can find for everything... like, that is the only product in his shower. So on Valentines Day I got him the Woody's - Meat and Potatoes Cleansing Bar, he actually loved it! And I loved it too, since it is a shampoo and body bar in one and leaves his skin and hair nice and soft. Unfortunately, because it costs more than $1.99 and its not sold at the grocery store I need to continually restock it for him if I want him to keep using it. I found several snob worthy products for the man or men in your life this fathers day, much more necessary than a new tool kit or gift certificates for the car wash --which if he really needed he probably has already bought it anyways… READ ON!!
