Deal of the Week:

Beauty under $20
by Brigitte Segura

A cheap frill and a touch of color for lips and cheeks – at (almost) drug store prices SANS le vibe…

VEGAN lipgloss with luxe color? Believe it, and every color works! Created by make-up artist Michael Blue, BLUEMICHAEL cosmetics has created the perfect ’stain’ gloss. For those of you who appreciate and acknowledge that a little lip color is a ‘must-have’… this is the perfect pocket item. The pigment lip-gloss has just enough natural texture to blend into your natural lip color with a tint and a little shine. 5 COLORS: baby girl, brown sugar, I.U. kiss, na-na, and thea… provide a super smooth (non-sticky) application with moisturizers. When was the last time you said you looked good wearing every color offered in a line? Just pick your outfit to match! This line is brand new, ‘artisanal’- and only available on their WEBSITE…

Who said a natural blush wasn’t charming? A perfect companion… Rosey cheeked CUSTOMIZED fresh by JEMMA KIDD in pink – another keeper in the pocket. The innovative, hi-tech formula blush reacts to the natural PH in your cheeks and colors naturally. The revolutionary Jemma Kidd Cheek ID Colour Adapt Blush ($18 US) personalized cheekwear and cute container looks like teenager’s gloss. You can even touch up for your ‘au naturelle’ beauty on the go…

Another DIVINE bargain… Japanese CHERRY BLOSSOM shower gel keeps your skin hydrated and leaves you (or your man) smelling fresh all day… YES, it works on guys – leave it in the shower and insist for him to try it… And for those that still love to layer, the Japanese Cherry Blossom body lotion from Bath and Body Works with Mimosa Petals and Himalayan Cedarwood does the trick. A little does really go a long way. It’s best to use a ‘layer’ over your regular lotion to get a ‘hint’ of fragrance that won’t compete with your regular fragrance...   Photo Credit: Rodin Banica.
