As part of their anniversary sale, Nordstrom has a brush set for a limited time that is an amazing deal.  It is only $49.50 and includes 5 essential makeup brushes.  PLUS, it comes with a limited edition brush roll designed by Rebecca Moses.

I swear by MAC brushes- they're awesome.  Great quality and they last forever!

It features:

• Duo Fibre Eyeshadow Brush
• Tapered Blending Brush
• Pencil Brush (you can use this for so many things)
• Small Angle Brush 
• Brush Roll w/ flap to protect brushes

Smell Good At All Times

Perfume You Can Take Anywhere

I love these tiny roll-on perfumes from Sephora.  You can take it with you anywhere and everywhere!  It will fit in your purse, makeup bag, clutch, etc. so that any time you need to freshen your scent, you can.

Another plus is that you can try a scent you are thinking of purchasing... for only $29.00.  Since every scent/perfume smells different on everyone, it's a great way to find out if a perfume you like works for you without biting the bullet and paying full price (In this case, over $100 for even a fairly small bottle of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb.)

And trust me, these tiny bottles last a while.  Not sure if it's the fact that you apply with a roller- but it has lasted me way longer than I expected. 

$25 Off Any Purchase Over $75 at Folica

offer ends 4/26/13

I always wait around for this offer and then email it to my friends when I get it- it's an amazing deal at Folica.com: $25 off a purchase of $75 (not to mention free shipping).

It is the best place to order hair tools or products- period.  They always have the BEST prices (and I would know... I will scour the web looking for the best price on anything and everything I'm looking to buy!).  I also love that they have "Top Ten" lists on flat irons, hair dryers, etc.

Here are some items I've posted about available at Folica:

• The Wet Brush
• Frederic Fekkai Full Blown Volume Shampoo & Conditioner
• Solia Tourmaline Flat Iron
• Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo
• Haven't posted about it yet, but I also bought my hair dryer from Folica.com- I currently have an Elchim Classic Professional Hair Dryer... yes, it's a lot for a hair dryer, but a good hair dryer most definitely makes a HUGE difference on your hair!

Clarisonic Deal Alert!

From THIS POST you know how I feel about the Clarisonic being pretty much the best thing to ever happen to my face.

Just got an email about a limited time deal from QVC... FIRST, it comes with BLISS products, which are amazing.  Normally, the Clarisonic Plus set come with the Clarisonic products, and I really don't like them at all.  I gave mine away, and my mom tried to give hers to me when she ordered her set!

SECOND, this is a great deal because you can do it in 4 payments of $56.25 instead of $225 all at once.

Buy it. You won't regret it.

• Since it's a limited offer, click HERE then search "Clarisonic Bliss"

SORRY! That promotion has ended.  However, enjoy a new offer- QVC is now offering a set for 5 payments of $39... It comes with Philosophy products, which I love.  I always have Philosophy bath & shower wash in my bathtub.  PLUS it comes with the back extender for exfoliating your back.  Awesome!

• Clarisonic PLUS Sonic Cleansing System with Philosophy

Shopping Smart: Forever 21

I think that your wardrobe should be a mix of high end and... let's call them not-so-high end pieces.

As I said in the earlier post Dreaming of the Tropics Part Deux, I do believe that most of the time you get what you pay for as far as quality goes.  (I'll do another post on this, but when it comes to trendy pieces... do not spend your money on $$$ pieces you may wear once or twice!)

Anyway, most of us cannot afford to buy every piece of our wardrobe at Saks or Neiman's. (...and even if I could, I still LOVE a good bargain!)

There is a smart way to shop when it comes to stores like Forever 21  I tend to focus on the clothing's material and gravitate toward more neutral pieces.

For example, I wore a Stella McCartney blazer with a $27 basic black dress from Forever21.  Everyone focuses on the blazer... not the plain dress underneath!

You truly can experiment with your accessories and other classic pieces in this way- change it up with belts, blazers, tights, cardigans for work, etc.

I also check out Forever21 for cute skirts that I can pair with a nicer blouse....

Here are a few pieces on Forever21.com right now that I think are absolutely adorable and don't scream cheap:
