In fact, the folks at beauty retailer Ulta just got in touch to share the news that they’ve been offering exclusive monthly discounts on the hottest beauty trends to students everywhere who show their student ID.

As 2009 comes to a close, so will the “College Day” program, but before it does, Ulta still has two more “College Day” offers to …read more

We all have an urge to splurge on occasion but the still-precarious economy is enough to make any woman think, “Hold on to your wallet.” I’d never encourage anyone to spend beyond their means, particularly when there are so many great drugstore beauty products but if you’re in the mood for something that feels like a little more of an indulgence, check out Beautyticket.com.

This clever kit contains three of Too Faced’s most popular bronzers, including  Snow Bunny, a skin perfecting winter bronzer Sun Bunny, a cult favorite medium bronze and Pink Leopard, which creates an illuminating tropical tan.

Anyway–as I was strolling through the site I then happened upon their mention that they are giving their products new packaging, so they needed to deeply discount them to make room for the newly packaged goodies.
My mouth hit the ground! Lipstick for $8!? …read more
