We’ve got a winner!  Congrats to fokxxy – who will now be able to shop with a $150 Gift Card at SkinCareRx.com!!!   She mentioned that she wanted to try the SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel and I say, “GET IT!”  I have been using the B5 Gel along with their CE Feurlic for the last few weeks and my skin is doing so well – it feels soft, healthy and the Vitamin C really boosts your skin’s radiance.

Thanks to all who entered and keep checking back for many more great giveaways to come for 2010!

And isn’t that just the MOST adorable apron you have ever seen?!!!  The Stitch Thru Time site is amazing, and I am really drooling over this polka-dot pattern!

The economy has been hurting and companies are getting creative with savings!  Besides the awesome 30% Friends & Family deal over at Urban Decay, I wanted to post about a great deal that is being offered at a favorite online skin care store, SkinCareRx.

Click on the this link, read through the President’s Letter to receive your GiftCard SkinCareRx code and save yourself a serious chunk of change! Right now you can receive a $40 GiftCard to be used with any purchase of $100 or more (yep, $40 received from $100 would equal a 40% savings)!   So any of those high-priced, high-tech cosmeceuticals that you have been drooling over but couldn’t afford are now at a more favorable price tag.

Yes, I’m late with the post this week. Even later than usual. I’d like to offer my apologies, especially since I had a review all typed and ready to go, I was just so sidetracked that I didn’t post it. “Sidetracked?”, you wonder in amazement, “but Mo, there’s nothing on this earth you love more than cosmetics and sharing your thoughts with us. What could possibly sidetrack you from this calling”? The answer, my dear friends, is a trip.

Not a grand tropical vacation, mind you,  it’s just a quick whirlwind getaway to Utah so I can participate in the wedding of my very best pal. I’ll get to visit old friends and probably even meet up with Jen in the real world. Oh the excitement! But as I have sat here mentally packing my bag for the last week (because actually packing it is so much more work), I’ve started thinking about all those pesky regulations about traveling and carry ons and liquids and how it affects the cosmophiles (I just made that up) amongst us. And I KNOW there is still some confusion out there as to what’s allowed and where, so I’m going to lay out the ground rules and offer some helpful hints so that you don’t have to choose between missing your flight or surrendering your favorite cleanser to the gaping maw of an airport checkpoint trash can.

Jen—I’m totally building a shrine in your’s and Erno’s honor. I just got my set and IT ROCKS! I’m kinda scared of lip plumpers because I have extremely sensitive skin and I usually have an allergic reaction to them (think lip hives…ewwww), but I had no problem with this one, it just filled my lips in a bit and smoothed them nicely so I just looked fresh, not duck-like. The powder is my new favorite item. I put it on bare skin and it really brightened my complexion without feeling like I was wearing anything. This is going to be perfect for the summer months when I hate wearing foundation, but I need that little extra something. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!   Krista

Hooray Krista!  Very glad to hear how much you are loving your Erno Laszlo Value Set.  Thank you for your feedback and enjoy (no shrine necessary, lol)!
