Running for Rodial Skincare

I am a big fan of Rodial's skincare line. But it's very pricey.

Luckily though, there's a way to sample some of their top products without breaking the bank.

Kiehl's F&F

The discounts are rolling in.
Ok, they're not rolling in, but they are trickling in.
Just got the word that Kiehl's Friends & Family kicks off Friday.
Time to stock up on some of their best basics and new favorites.
At our house we love to bathe Henry with their foaming wash for hair and body.
It's a super gentle cleanser that leaves him smelling like a baby.
My parents love Kiehl's too. My mom uses their moisturizer and body creams. My dad loves their hand creams. And my brother -- he likes the shaving stuff. 




Code: Family
Also, spend $30 and get FREE shipping!

Discounts!

An update now...I did not make it to Bloomingdale's or Sephora to buy and/or try Philosophy's kiss me lip treatment.
Instead I went to Toys R Us to buy Henry a few things.
I bought him a musical gloworm like the one he has at my mom's house.
We've nicknamed it glObama.
I will try and pick up the gloss tomorrow and report back to you ASAP.

Here's a question for you:
How much is too much for a lip balm?

Wanting Kiss Me

In classic beauty junkie style I am thinking about Philosophy's kiss me tonight intensive lip treatment. Here's how my mind works. I read about a product. I want the product. Where can I get the product?
I don't feel too bad obsessing about makeup tonight. I spent 2 1/2 hours at a health clinic waiting for the H1N1 vaccine. A little retail therapy never hurt anyone, right?

Do I need it? No. Want it? Yes.

Kiss Me Tonight!

Dear readers,
I must apologize. I missed Sephora's Friends & Family event. What kind of beauty babe/blogger/junkie and I if I can't alert my readers about F&F?

That's what mommy-hood does to the brain. As I write this post, I'm sitting on my couch next to my breast pump. The baby is sleeping and I'm multitasking. I just shaved my legs (I used a burp cloth to wipe off the shave cream) and I'm about to wipe off a Mario Badescu face mask.

I was just checking out some other beauty blogs, including one of my favorites Beauty Addict. Kristen talks a lot about Philosophy's Kiss Me Tonight intensive lip therapy.  I tried a similar product from Philosophy before and didn't like it. That was the company's Kiss Me Lip Balm. It was greasy -- oily. You know when the product separates from the oil? That's what happened? It was unappealing. Anyway, she raves about the balm. Let me know if you have tried it. I'm curious if it's worth the $20 price tag.

Go Blue!

The holidays are nearing, which means great buys for beauty junkies. I love this time of year. Lots of beauty kits and gift sets. And pfferneuse cookies.
