Spring
Sephora’s Sun Safety Kit- Sun Protection For A Cause!
It’s that time of year! Time for sun, fun and Sephora’s Sun Safety Kit! From April until June (or while supplies last) Sephora offers this kit chock-full of travel-sized sun care products.
Retail value of the included products is $87, but the cost to you is only $25!
BUY THIS KIT. I never explicitly tell my readers to buy anything… but have good reason to do it now. It’s an absolute steal, firstly. It’s also a great way to determine which full sized products you’ll need to get you through the Summer. But the best reason of all to purchase this kit is the fact that 100% of the net profits ($21.55 from every kit) are donated directly to The Skin Cancer Foundation. That makes this purchase simultaneously a treat for your skin, and a donation to a good cause. Click HERE to purchase the Sephora Brand Sun Safety Kit ($87 Value)

The grand prize winner will also receive two tickets to attend Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for the star-studded debut of their palette, which will be sold exclusively at Sephora stores nationwide and featured in the Sephora catalog.
The top ten entrants, as chosen by the Smashbox panel, will win a Smashbox Swag Bag stocked with $500 of Smashbox Cosmetics. The five most viral internet entries will win the Ultimate Smashbox Swag Bag, including $1000 worth of Smashbox Cosmetics and a year of Smashbox products from new collection launches.

Pink, All Grown Up
What happens to bubblegum pink gloss when it earns an MBA and lands a position as CEO of a multi-national corporation? It becomes one of these super-sexy alternatives to pale pink! If you’re looking for something a bit more "grown-up" this season, these pink based shades are for you!
 Jane Iredale LipColor in C.J. is a bright pink with hints of coral. Perfect for any woman who can’t fully commit to pink. This lipstick also packs a powerful SPF! Retail is $19. |
 I’m smitten with this matte gloss! Lipstick Queen’s Oxymoron gloss in "Minor Crisis" is a universally flattering pink shade that is worthy of the boardroom, and the ballroom. Retail $20. |
 NARS originally launched this shade as a lipstick, but for Spring 2008 the shade Dolce Vita |
 Lipstick Queen’s Saint Rose is a sophisticated deep rose shade is sheer and shiny. The matte gold case is as glam as its contents! Retail $18. |
 Urban Decay’s Ultraglide in 0 is an opaque deep shade of red with dark pink undertones. This gloss is Robert Palmer girl worthy, but won’t make you look like an 80s flashback. Retail $17. |
