Maybe this deal will make it up to some of you.  I'm still working on the computer issue, just snuck on while at work to share this with all of you.  I'm hoping to try to repair my computer this week, but I'm going to be the one attempting to do it so no promises.  If it fails, looks like I'm going to be shopping for  anew laptop.  Anyone know any good deals??  Anyways, the purpose of this post is to share with you a deal I came across this morning.

Not a bad deal... I just ordered mine. Lou Lou's deal of the day is a free smokey eye kit ($17 value) with a $15 purchase. "Yves Rocher, The Creator of Botanical Beauty is offering you a fool proof way to get this season’s smokey eye for day or night. The compact box features 2 eyeliners, four on-trend colours, a small mirror and a how-to-guide for the perfect look every time."
http://www.shopdroploulou.ca/uploads...inal/yves5.pdf to print of the coupon to use in store. Online coupon code is LOULOUYR.

Yves Rocher site: http://www.yvesrocher.ca

Trust me, it's not hard to put together $15, they have some really great deals which is great. I ended up getting a mascara at 44% off and an eyeliner I've wanted since the summer for $6.50.

It gets better too - they also offer a free gift with purchase - choice between a mystery gift (worth $15-45), a nail polish/lipstick duo, free cosmetic bag set, or 3 trees planted. Plus a sample pack. Plus free shipping over $40. Not too bad if you ask me.

Fine print: Offer valid in participating stores with this coupon and online at YvesRocher.ca with the coupon-code LOULOUYR from September 24th to October 20th, 2011. Offer not applicable with any other promotional offer. Only one coupon may be used per order online. Not applicable on gift cards, aesthetic accessories and spa treatments. *While quantities last.

 

Anyways, like I said originally, I'm going to try to bring you all not only the best makeuo tips and reviews, but also the best deals.  Hopefully some of you can take advantage of this offer before it ends.  I haven't personally tried the smokey eye kit yet, but it looks really cute and has a nice little palette!

That's all for now, I have to get back to my real job.

 

Dee xoxo

Hello darlings,

I just wanted to apologize for the horrible lack of posts.  Unfortunately, my computer decided to essentially die on my a couple of weeks ago and I have been living off my phone for e-mail and Perez Hilton updates.   Hopefully I will be able to have this remedied soon - I'm going to attempt to fix my laptop (which I'm not counting on happening) or try to scrounge together enough of my nonexistant money to get a new one.  Anyways, I just wanted to give you a head's up as to why I've been MIA, and hopefully I'll return very very soon!

xoxo Dee

Beauty Review: CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm

The Product: CoverGirl NatureLuxe Gloss Balm in 225 - Anemone

The Price: $7-8

The Promise: "Get the sheer colour of a gloss with a luxurious feel with a SPF 15 protection. Contains mango and shea butter, this balm helps provide a luxurious but lightweight feel." - CoverGirl.ca

My Take: After seeing all those Taylor Swift ads for the new NatureLuxe line, I decided to check it all out. When I saw the gloss balm, I knew it was a product I had to try it. I got it in shade 225 - anemone - a pretty red colour. I wasn't really sure what to expect as it is called a gloss balm but comes in lipstick form. Upon application, I was extremely impressed. It had a nice smooth balmy texture, which felt moisturizing on my lips. It also had a hint of colour... Nothing too bright or solid which made it stand out too much, but just the right amount to wear to the office or during the day - and a very light glossy sheen. No sticky residue at all, minimum transfer, no funny taste.  What else could you ask for?  Maybe I should also mention that it has SPF 15, which is important... Your lips need sun care too!  I've been wearing this all day, every day since I got it.

The Verdict: Definitely a product I will be using again once I run out... I know I'm going to go through the whole tube!

Hello blogosphere,

Recently I've been hearing a lot about these companies that send out beauty samples - beauty boxes. After hearing a lot about Glymm recently, I decided to take the plunge and try it out.  The premise: For a subscription of $10 a month (+HST, shipping is free - and you're not locked into the subscription, you can cancel anytime), you receive 4-5 deluxe beauty samples.  I'll be receiving my first Glymm box in September and I'll be sure to share the results with all of you.  Oh, and did I mention it comes in a totally cute pink box??  If you want more information on Glymm, click through here.

Here's a sample Glymm box for you to feast your eyes on:

 

What do you think?

My goal is to give you as much advice as I can about beauty and fashion, and all the good products and deals I can dig up! I believe each person has the right to create what is beautiful as an individual, and I hope you enjoy these posts and make them your own! :)

trend alert : coloured hair

I'm sure most of you have been noticing this trend popping up all over the place recently - coloured hair.  It's an easy way to add a little personality to your hair if you're getting bored.  Personally, I haven't taken the leap and put any permanent colour in yet because I just don't know well that would go over in my professional work atmosphere.  I did pick up some nice coloured extensions, and I thought they looked super cute tucked into my braid:

I'm also totally in love with this look LC recently had done (tutorial can be found on her website here):

So, what do you think?

Well hello there,

If you're reading this, I'm guessing it's because you're going to be spending a little bit of time with me.  In that case, I should probably introduce myself.

You can call em Dee, and I'll be your guide on this journey to the center of the beauty-verse.  I'm in my early 20s, a university grad, an executive assistant, a lover of all things music, beauty and fashion.  I may not be your best friend (yet), heck you don't even know me at all, but I'm here to overload you with all the beauty tips, reviews, know how,  and advice you can handle.

If you want to get in touch with me or get to know me better, these are your best bets:

  • E-mail me at: deedeemixxx@gmail.com
  • Follow me on Twitter at: http://www.twitter.com/deedeemixxx
  • Follow my personal blog at: http://www.myheartonmysleeve.tumblr.com

 

So enjoy the ride.  Maybe you'll learn something new.  Maybe you'll find your new most favourite beauty product ever.  It's worth the chance.  Either way, it was nice meeting you :)

Cheers,

Dee xoxo
