Today I went shopping in Texas at the Grapvine Mall. It has so many stores that the malls in Georgia don’t have, so I went overboard and bought a lot of stuff. It’s easy to spend way too much at the mall or at your favorite store, but if you learn how to catch a bargain or shop in moderation, then life can be easier money wise. Here are some great bargains and tips to keep you from spending too much $$$!!

If you love to shop at Sephora and other expensive cosmetic retailers, then you can still find your favorite products, but on sale. At Sephora, they are having a sale that offers up to 75% on selected products…if you need a new eyeshadow brush, then maybe now’s the time to get a half of brush that was usually $12!

I am an Abercrombie freak! It is my absolute favorite brand, but they are just way too expensive! Even thought they are sometimes overpriced, they always have a great sale section with things ten or even twenty dollars off!

If you go shopping on a regular daily basis to the mall and other stores like outlet malls that have expensive, but cute, products, then you can shop in moderation. Just bring money that is only a certain amount like $50 so you can only spend that amount. Or, bring cash instead of a debit or credit card if you have one. See, you can still look cute without going broke!

Candles always make me relaxed and make my room smell good, even if they are not lit. You can now take a quick survey to get a free scent sample from Best Lonestar Candles. Make your room smell good and enjoy the wonderful scents this company has to offer!

Here’s something else that smells good…a scent sachet from Signature Scent. They put little scented beads into a pouch and then it makes anything smell good!

Toothpaste makes your teeth cleaner, and makes your smile look better! Colgate is giving a way free samples of their Total Advanced Clean toothpaste.

 If you don’t smell good, then you might get self concious, and that’s not good. You can now get a free sample of Celine Dion’s new fragrance Enchanting. Now, you can smell “Enchanting”!

Well, I hope that you have had your freebie fix for this week and enjoy all of these scented freebies!

Ever had a really bad hair day where your hair is frizzy, uncontrollable, and just plain…well…bad! Here are some great products that can help you have really pretty hair!

If you have curly or wavy hair, then your hair needs special care. Conair has a great blowdryer, the Curl Fusion Ionic Styler, is just for curly/wavy hair. You really don’t want to have frizzy curls, do you!

Some people have damaged hair, but you can fix that with the help of Neutrogena. Neutrogena has made a Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask that you can put on your hair to make it healthy and less damaged. This was mostly designed for people with extra dry or over-processed hair, but it can be used if your hair is frizzy, broken, or any other damage!

If you have dry hair or just want some shine and texture added to your hair, then try out Bumble and bumble Surf Spray. Even if your miles away from the beach, you can still get that wind-styled hair with this spray. This is awesome, especially with it being summer!

The other day I just got contacts and they are great. Although they are a little hard to put in and take off, they are great and I can see why everyone that has them likes them. They are many things that I can wear and do with contacts that I never could do with glasses on like, well…I’ll tell you!

Now I can wear sunglasses all of the time without going to the trouble of taking off my glasses and then putting them back on. There are a lot of great, cute sunglasses out there, but I have found one really cute pair!  Sunglasses don’t have to be expensive to look cute, plus if you break them you   won’t feel guilty about spending tons of money for nothing. These sunglasses from H&M don’t cost a lot, but look designer and expensive.

I can also wear headbands without having to adjust my glasses every thirty seconds! This headband from Anthropologie is slick, black and matches with almost anything! I am totally going to get one!!!

Well, contacts are great and now I can do a lot more with them and wear a lot of other things that I couldn’t wear/do with glasses!

Beauty…we all want to be beautiful. One of the things that we want to be beautiful and perfect is our tans. You can either get a tan the bad way, laying out in the sun for hours, or we can get a tan the safe way, faking it. Now, putting on fake tanners and moisturizers are very hard to do every morning and take up a lot of time. Mally Beauty has come up with a great bronzer kit to help you achieve a great tan look, not an orange or too dark tan. This kit is called the Believable Bronzer Skin Warming Kit. There are three great colors to help you achieve a great fake tan on your face. The “Tanning” color gives your face a very healthy warm look. You just dust this all over your face with a powder brush, and there is your beautiful warm, tan look! Next, there is the “Shimmer” color. This has the same effect as a great thing that the sun does to your skin…makes it GLOW! You dust this on your cheekbones, browbones, and on the tip of your nose. Lastly, there’s the “Sun” color. This is a safe way to make your tan look real. Just dust this on the apples of your cheeks and across your nose…now you can have a great, safe tan! I have gotten complements on how tan I look, and I’m sure that you will too. This is the best fake tanning system and I will always use this product!
