Give Back

In this economy, shopping is so much easier to justify if giving back is involved, so if you're looking for a new eyeshadow (and really, when are you not?) check out this offer from theBalm.  To help support the National Multiple Sclerosis Education and Awareness Month, theBalm has created a limited edition KISS MS GOODBYE version of the classic “You Buy, I’ll Fly” Overshadow Eye Shadow.  It's a 100% pure mineral, shimmery copper shadow that's a great neutral shade anyone can wear. 
 
For all of March, theBalm.com will donate 25% of proceeds from the sale of the Limited Edition Overshadow to the cause. And as a thank you for supporting the cause, anyone who buys it will also receive 25% off any additional purchases they make while they're on the site.  (It's guilt free shopping at its best!)

The KISS MS GOODBYE Limited Edition Overshadow can be yours for $15 at theBalm.com.  Happy shopping!

Balmy Weather Ahead

For those of you who like a little plumper in your lip gloss, but hate the stronger tingling sensation (some might even call it "burning") of products like Lip Venom, TheBalm glosses are for you. (And no, I didn't make a spacing error - for some reason, the company really is called TheBalm. It's kind of annoying to me, actually, as someone who's really anal about grammar because I keep thinking that I'm making a typo and want to go back and fix it, but I can't. Because apparently, whoever created this company doesn't believe in spaces). I do love the glosses though - I own a lot of them because when I first discovered them, I went on a crazy buying spree so I could collect the complete set. My favorite shade is "Spike My Punch" - a pinkish, berry color that looks totally natural on. I also like the names and flavors - they all taste great, which doesn't sound important until you find yourself wearing a lipstick that tastes like, well, lipstick. Wax does not taste good, people. It just doesn't. The glosses are only $14 too, which is perfect because I have a new rule that if a product costs less than $15, buying it doesn't even count. It might make balancing my checkbook difficult, but it's working wonders on my shopping guilt.
