The cooler winter months are fast approaching, but you can still have a little taste of summer. Drop by Sephora inside your local JCPenney store (this offer is only valid in Sephoras inside JCPenney stores), and present this coupon for a free sample of either LORAC TANtalizer Baked Bronzer, or LORAC Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick (both pictured below in full-size versions). So print it out and head over now before they're gone!
These are the 2 gold Michael Kors watches I have my eye on right now (I obv wouldn't get both, but I'm not sure which one I like better. I originally loved the one to the left, but I just want to make sure it's not too "blingy"). So, now I'm looking at the chronograph style one also. They are both gold, but for some reason, the one to the right doesn't look as gold in the pic.
I'd love to know if any of you have one of them/know someone who wears one, and get your thoughts! (I'm hinting to the bf about it for my birthday--not till December, but can't believe that's already less than 2 months away!)
Although the term is played out, I truly am a "Bargainista". Ever since I could remember, I always found (and get a thrill out of) finding great deals! First, I figured I would share that Charlotte Russe is having a Columbus Day sale, where their sale items are 50% or more off! I also have a coupon code that gets you an additional 10% off AND FREE SHIPPING! (Code: OCTOBER1) This is a win-win for me, because sometimes I am hesitant about ordering clothes/shoes online because I really like to try things on, but with the free shipping offer, I figured I had nothing to lose because as long as I keep the packing slip, and the tags are on, I can return the items to any Charlotte Russe store. Below are the 2 things I just placed an order for on their site, and some other great CR deals.
These are my 2 recent purchases from the Charlotte Russe website. The shoes are Zipper Mule Slides in Rust, and were originally priced at $26.99, are on sale this weekend for $13.49, and using the coupon code for an additional 10% off, they came to $12.14 (can you beat that?!)
The Ruffle Blouse Jumper is sooo adorable and I'm really hoping it fits right and looks good, because if not, I will def be disappointed! It was originally priced at $28.99, lowered to $14.49 this weekend, and with the 10% off came to $13.04!

Living in Florida, I don't wear boots too often. It's almost the middle of October and it's still in the 90's here. But, sometimes it does get chilly here (sometimes down to the 40's) but when it hits low 70's, I usually whip out my boots. Since the weather doesn't call for boots that often, I usually don't spend too much on boots, so I'm thinking about actually stopping into the Charlotte Russe store to get these babies:
For a mere $30, they will last me through the short "cold" season.

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the clothing store Kitson. The popular L.A. based clothing boutique is usually graced by the presence of many celebs. The Charlotte Russe website actually carries Kitson brand clothing and have a bunch of Kitson merchandise on sale this weekend. The t-shirt pictured below is only $13.00 (use same coupon code I mentioned above: October1 for 10% off and free shipping).
Shespeaks is an online community created for women, with forums to discuss products, books, health and wellness, beauty, etc. By being a part of this program, I sometimes get the opportunity to received products for free to test, review, and give my opinion on my blog. I recently received some products by Mèreadesso Woman - skincare line - that I actually had never heard of, so I was excited to test it out. Mèreadesso Woman is beauty regime, but without much of the, well, regime. Loved this quote from their site/press materials: "When Linda Stephenson - a former cosmetics executive - grew weary of her own beauty regime, things could have gotten ugly. Instead, they got ridiculously good-looking." (Kind of reminds me of Zoolander--haha)
Linda used her degrees in Chemistry and Botany to create Mèreadesso Woman - a simple skincare line with minerals, antioxidants, vitamins, and botanicals.
Mèreadesso's Face + Neck Cleanser is a non foaming all-in-one makeup remover, mask, scrub and toner. It comes with a microfiber cloth, and I found the system kind of interesting. You dampen the cloth, massage the cleanser into your skin (wet or dry) and then use the wet cloth to buff your face by rubbing it in gentle circular motions. I've been using this for a couple of weeks now, and my face does feel smoother after use. I really like the cloth/buffing with the cleanser because I feel like it cleanses my face better than just rubbing in face wash with my hands.
They also sent me the Mèreadesso Woman Face + Neck Toning Gel. I don't always use a toner. Once and a while I do, but sometimes I just stick with moisturizer after I was my face. I have to say though, I did feel refreshed after using this, and my face almost felt tighter after it dried.
The Mèreadesso seem more on the expensive side--I believe the beauty package I was sent with the full size Face + Neck Cleanser (which included the microfiber cloth and a reusable pouch to store it/travel with), and the Face + Neck toner, retails for $140. (Cleanser: $38 USD, Toning Gel: $102 USD) And with their sleek and sexy packaging, and great ingredients, its not much of a surprise. What I really like about this line, is that there aren't particular products for "particular" skin types. Like they state, their combination of ingredients addresses all the needs of your skin, and the needs of all skin types. "One step, one product, for every woman".
If you're not much of a toner girl anyway, I suggest getting the more reasonably priced Face + Neck Cleanser - especially because that's their main product that they market as their One Step Skincare Solution.
They also offer a Body Toning Cream if you want to check it out!
