Free Beauty Snags This Weekend

There are not one, but two chances for you to snag some great products this weekend! The best part? It’s all free. It’s hard to imagine my life without some of my favorite products, but they never come cheap. In fact, it’s crazy when I calculate in a year how much I’ve spent on makeup and skincare. I don’t know how everyone does it! When I found out that there were two great chances for my readers to snag  a little something for themselves, I thought I had to share. National Self Care Day ended up being yesterday, but Sephora is celebrating it this weekend at all of their stores. If you go into any one of them this weekend (July 27th-29th) you can snag yourself a free face mask. There is absolutely no catch; you don’t have to be a member, you just have to walk in!

Head on over to any MAC store or counter this Sunday to pick yourself up a free lipstick for National Lipstick Day. I actually participated in this last year and realized my local MAC store had opened an hour earlier so by the time I got down there, all that was left were the not-so-popular colors. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Make sure to check when your MAC store is opening and get there early to get your first choice pick out of the nine different shades that they’ll be offering from their Artist Favorites collection.

We would say “happy shopping,” but you won’t even be spending a dime!

Free MAC Lipstick This Weekend

We love free things, but not just anything free – only things that we absolutely love! With National Lipstick Day coming up this weekend, MAC is handing out FREE lipsticks to customers at their store on Saturday. The handouts begin as soon as they open and will last until they run out so you may want to head their early in case there’s a line. I’m never going to turn down MAC lipstick so you know I’ll be there and adding this as the first part of my errands for the weekend.

Enjoy!

Knock (to unlock) App

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyX8FfSKg04]

Leave it to my co-workers to teach me something new everyday. This app has been out since late October, but the trailer for it was just too good and blogworthy. If you’re tired of having to continuously type in your password, all you have to do is install the Knock app. Knock twice on your iPhone and your Mac unlocks. I’ve heard that it doesn’t work every time and it might be a little bit silly if you are constantly knocking on your phone and it doesn’t unlock, but we are the generation of laziness so… YOLO?

Beauty For Breakfast Pt. 6

Product: M·A·C Powder Blush in Trace Gold

Been Using It For: 6 years

How Did I Find It?: I wasn’t technically wearing real makeup until I got to high school, but this was the first product I bought on my own.  By then, I was a sophomore in high school, 15 years old and attending my first semi-formal dance. Not knowing any better and wanting to be like every one else, I called into a department store and scheduled an appointment for whatever counter would have me. MAC, Chanel, Benefit, Dior – I didn’t know the difference then. I landed at MAC and after loving the shimmery glow left on my face, (I thought I looked sun-kissed, but in photographs, it looked like the sun had taken a big ‘ol dump on my face. I was an oompa loompa w/o the artificial tanning) I purchased the bronzer. It is safe to say that I now have some self control when using it and can use it in moderation. It wasn’t until recently that I learned that using bronzer was not all that appropriate for the fall/winter and more for summer, but for six years I completely ignored that fact. Do what you want – as long as it looks okay. Godspeed.

Sephora Partners Up With Hello Kitty

Slated to release mid-January, Sephora’s new collaboration with Hello Kitty will include make-up, brushes, fragrance, mirrors, blotter paper, and a cute little shower cap. I am loving the look of this collection because it seems more subtle than the MAC x Hello Kitty collaboration that was released two years ago.
